I Was Called a Poor Widow, But I Relied on My Supernatural Powers To Fight Back In Ancient Times

Chapter 319 There is a pitfall

“Yes, clan leader, my family is about to run out of food. It’s not that we don’t want to help, but we are also powerless. Besides, they are lazy themselves. If anyone doesn’t prepare food for the winter in advance, they don’t have it.”

Bai Yunsong listened to their complaints with a serious face.

“Fellow members of the same clan should help each other. Now that they are suffering from a disaster, can we still watch them freeze to death and starve to death?”

"What the patriarch said is wrong. Lazy people have always done mischief since ancient times. As long as they are diligent, repair the house in advance and shovel the snow, the house will not collapse."

"That's right, when it comes to assistance, the one we should help the most is my aunt's family. Not only do they live in a shack, they don't even have a few acres of land. But before winter, they run to the mountains every day just to store food for the winter. No matter how difficult it is, I can’t stop people from being diligent.”

“Look at Bai Zhengde’s family. If you ask me, they deserve to freeze to death and starve to death.”

Looking at the resistance on the faces of the tribesmen, Bai Yunsong pursed his lips. Thinking about the situation at his cousin's house, he really had nothing to say.

 But things have reached this stage. As the patriarch, he can't really let people freeze to death and starve to death, right?

“Chief, look at the snow. I don’t know when it will end. This winter is destined to be cold. How much winter grain can each of our families store? It’s enough for our own consumption.”

“Well, if we run out of food then, will the clan leader also help raise food to tide over the difficulties?”

Hearing the tribesmen’s questions, Bai Yunsong’s face darkened.

“Even if we are family members, if we are really in trouble, we will naturally help each other.”

“We feel relieved because of the patriarch’s words, and everyone will bear witness. If we don’t have food to eat, we will ask the patriarch to support us.”

As soon as these words came out, everyone followed suit. Looking at the eyes of the tribesmen, Bai Yunsong felt his scalp numb.

For the first time, I realized that this patriarch not only has a good name, but also has a lot of responsibilities. If he doesn't do it well, he may get into trouble and be in a dilemma.

 But things have come to this point, and we have to get through it even if we grit our teeth.

After stumbling all afternoon, they finally collected some food. Bai Zhengde and his family accepted it with smiles, but Bai Yunsong felt gloomy in his heart.

 As the tribesmen say, this winter is only half over.

There are still some days until spring. If their family does not have enough food to eat, they will definitely come to trouble him, the patriarch.

 It was already so difficult to collect food the first time, can it still be done the second time?

Thinking about what happened this afternoon, Bai Yunsong couldn't help but pull his hair.

 Walking around, the third aunt's house and the cousin's house were the most worry-free, as the food was ready without anyone having to ask.

Thinking of his cousin's shack, it was really hard for him to speak, but his cousin didn't say a bad word and directly asked his nephew's wife to prepare two liters of coarse grains and hand them over.

Until then, he felt that the villagers' complaints were not unreasonable. If life was difficult, his cousin's family should be the most difficult household in the village, but she managed to survive.

Not only did the shacks not collapse, but there seemed to be no shortage of food.

It was at that time that he suddenly realized that he seemed to have overlooked something?

But his mind was in a jumble and he couldn't concentrate at all because of the noise from his tribe, so he could only go home with a bored look on his face.

 The old patriarch looked at his son's languid expression and knocked the pot on his pipe.

 “What’s wrong? But we encountered some difficulty.”
