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

Chapter 459: Suffering from cowardice

“It’s better to stay away from this kind of behavior of going from house to house begging for food. Reaching out to ask for something is annoying. No matter who you go to the door, you will be complained about.”

"Your cousin made a bad move. People are lazy. They develop the habit of reaching out and asking for things. In the future, they will rely on him for everything. Your uncle will regret it in the future."

Actually, Baiyun Xi is very strange. Why didn't the uncle stop his cousin's behavior? He knew that his efforts would be unjust, but he still went ahead and did it?

When Xiao Si heard this, he nodded.

 “Forget it, we won’t do anything that offends others.”

Sure enough, as Bai Yunxi said, when Bai Yunsong brought people to his second uncle's house, he was scolded by his second aunt. In the end, his second uncle came out to stop him, and the old lady reluctantly gave him two pieces of sweet potatoes to settle the matter.

Going to my third uncle's house went smoothly. I was given a ladle of multi-grain noodles. After that, when I went to another house, I was given either a bowl of black noodles or a few sweet potatoes. Before I left, I was given a few unpleasant words.

 All the way down, my ears were filled with strange complaints and unceremonious ridicules.

 No one is willing to take food readily.

 After going around for a while, Bai Yunsong was frustrated, and in the end he only received two bags. One of them was sweet potatoes, and the other was mostly taken out from the granary.

Looking at the two bags of grains in front of him and thinking about the bucket his cousin had brought out, Bai Yunsong had a sullen face and pursed lips, feeling depressed and helpless.

“Li Zheng, have you confiscated the food from Aunt Bai’s house?”

Hearing their reminder and looking at their eager expressions, Bai Yunsong sneered, "What's the matter? Now you don't think they're giving you less?"

Being questioned by Li Zheng, several people had stern expressions. They did not expect that the people in the village were so stingy.

"Oh, don't be angry, Li Zheng. My aunt lives in such a big yard, so she should be given more."

“That’s right, we don’t have any other intentions. Those who can do more work.”

 Looking at how shameless these people were for the sake of food, Bai Yunsong felt choked in his heart.

"He who is able has to work hard. The landlord's family is more capable. Do you want it? What I have now at my cousin's house is all earned by myself. When it was the most difficult time, I went into the mountains to dig wild vegetables, and even the roots of the tree didn't ask for a single grain from you." grain."

　　"If you strive for success, I won't have to suffer this cowardice."

After experiencing a series of blows, Bai Yunsong suddenly remembered that last year, his cousin led his nephews to open up wasteland and go into the mountains to find food, and they had no time for a year.

 I didn’t ask him for help even once.

These people in the village, on the other hand, would run towards him no matter how big the problem was.

Several people looked at the anger in Zheng Zheng’s eyes and lowered their heads with guilt.

“Hehe...we can’t compare with Aunt Bai. She is a scholar and well-informed. We are just weak-legged, so naturally we are different.”

"That's right. If Li Zheng asks us to work in the fields, there will be no ambiguity at all. People are different."

Listening to their flattering tone, Bai Yun talked to them lazily and asked them to carry the bags to his cousin's house and take back the bucket of coarse grains.

Fortunately, no one made trouble for them this time. After knocking on the door, Li took out the bucket and poured it into their bags. She turned around and went back. The door was closed with a bang. From the beginning to the end, she didn't say a word.

Bai Yunsong looked at the closed door, turned around after a while, and said in a deep voice,

"You and your family will divide this food equally and save some. I have tried my best, and you have to figure out your own solution later."
