Chapter 172 Once, Twice, but Never Three Times
Bai Yunxi pretended not to see his uncle's embarrassed look and chuckled.
"My cousin told me this morning that neighbors living in the same village should help each other. Now no one in the whole village is in a more difficult situation than us. I would like to ask my uncle, how does my cousin plan to help our family?"
The old patriarch almost choked when he heard Bai Yunxi's tone. His face was a little embarrassed. He had to scold the bastard severely when he returned to vent his anger.
In all these years as the patriarch, he has never been criticized for unfairness.
Unexpectedly, after abdicating, he was held responsible by the younger generation. Although he felt uncomfortable, he had no words to defend himself.
"Uncle, you watched me grow up. You are also the matchmaker for Yunhui and I. We have always lived under your watch. When Yunhui was alive, didn't he help the village enough?"
"But when something happened to our family, they all ran away from us. I believe that I never owed the villagers anything, but the village owed us a lot. My cousin is a few years older than me, why doesn't he remember these things?"
Being stared at by his niece, the old man felt very uncomfortable. He should have let the brat come to admit his mistakes.
"Ahem... Yunxi girl, I know I have wronged you. I apologize to you. I will let Yunsong come to apologize to you later. Even if he is the head of the clan or the head of the village, he has to admit his mistakes.
Bai Yunxi waved her hand,
"Uncle is fair in his work. My niece dare not ask you to apologize. As for my cousin, it doesn't matter whether he apologizes or not. There is one thing that Uncle will tell him when he goes back. He should stop staring at me. We are orphans and widows and don't have time to fight with the villagers. "
"It's getting colder and colder, and we have to prepare for the winter. Look at our shack and the remaining two acres of thin land. We don't have any guarantee for food and shelter. I don't ask my cousin for help, but I ask him not to always find trouble with us."
Listening to the tone of his niece's pleading, and thinking about the bad things his son did, the old patriarch wanted to find a hole in the ground to crawl into.
"People say that when it rains, it rains. I consider myself unlucky to meet my cousin, the patriarch. But I have something to tell my uncle in advance. I will never suffer losses or grievances again and again. "
As Bai Yunxi said, his eyes suddenly became sharp, and his whole aura changed with it.
"If my cousin wrongs us for no reason again, no matter what the reason is, I will not be polite. Anyway, the barefoot are not afraid of the ones wearing shoes. No matter how bad we are, it's just like this. If we offend my cousin, he can just expel us from the Bai family. "
"What are you talking about, Yunxi girl? You are getting more and more outrageous. No matter how useless your cousin is, he will not expel you from the Bai family."
The old patriarch looked at his niece's cold expression, and somehow, he felt a little scared.
When he found this out, he felt that it was a bit ridiculous. He was already half dead, how could he be afraid of a younger generation?
In the final analysis, it was all caused by that stinky boy Yunsong. In order to clean up his mess, he had to sacrifice his old face.
"If we can't live here, we will leave the family on our own without him expelling us, and we won't be bullied by him anymore."
The old patriarch: "..."
Alas, if Yunsong doesn't correct himself, he might not be able to sit firmly as the patriarch.
'I knew that this girl had a bad temper, and I didn't wrong her. However, her strong character is really good. If it were a boy, he would definitely be much better than Yunsong. It's a pity.'
