Chapter 206 Keep Silence
Baiyunxi pretended to be completely ignorant of what the villagers said and said, and still took his sons to Dongshan to open up wasteland.
Taking advantage of the free lunch break, I went into the mountains to pick chestnut balls.
Although the gossip in the village started because of them, it really had nothing to do with them.
Didn't Bai Yunsong always want to be a respected clan leader? She wanted to see how this person dealt with this trouble?
Walking upright and sitting upright are not just words that can convince people.
Of course, there is no shortage of good people in the village, so they came directly to Dongshan to tell her.
In response, Bai Yunxi just smiled and said he understood, without saying any more words.
Several people made several trips, but could not get a satisfactory answer, so they could only give up in frustration.
Even so, some people still refused to give up. They were stopped on their way home and asked if they knew about the situation in the old house.
Bai Yunxi shook her head and told everyone directly that the house no longer belonged to her family and it would be the same to anyone she sold it to.
Whether it was bought by her cousin or someone else, it made no difference to her.
Everyone listened to her words and looked at her suspiciously.
"Sister Yunxi, are you not angry at all?"
Bai Yunxi looked at her. This person was the sister-in-law of the Bai clan who was born in the fifth service.
"The house is in debt? It no longer belongs to me. What should I be angry about?"
"But your cousins were able to spend so much money to buy it. If they had been willing to help you, wouldn't the house have been saved? But they have money but they didn't help. Aren't you angry at all?"
Baiyunxi shook his head,
"My family's situation was like that. Even if my cousin helped me, I wouldn't be able to afford that much money in a short time. Besides, no one's money comes from strong winds. Why should I let others help me? "
"It's a matter of friendship to help, and it's a duty not to help. I have never blamed anyone. Now our family is working hard to open up wasteland. We strive to live a good life as soon as possible. As for other things, I have never thought about it."
Everyone looked at Bai Yunxi's leaving figure and couldn't help but sigh in admiration. Look, she is indeed a lady with a big heart.
If it had been anyone else, how could they have caused such a fuss?
"Hey~, a nice big house was gone at the last word, and now it's still in the hands of her cousin. Do you know if there is any dirty deal behind this?"
"Shh~, don't talk nonsense. If someone hears it, you might get scolded at your door."
Zheng's wife is not someone to be trifled with. Even though she is usually joking and laughing, she is even more fierce than Sun's shrew.
After everyone dispersed, the old patriarch stood at the entrance of the alley with his hands behind his back, looking at the direction his niece was leaving, and sighed softly.
Compared with Yunxi girl, my son is almost not even a star.
Listen to what he just said. It was so beautifully said. It didn't contain a single word of accusation, but it aroused everyone's sympathy even more.
The world wants to sympathize with the weak, but Yunxi girl has known this for a long time but still doesn't care at all, which has unknowingly attracted a wave of favor to herself.
Baiyunxi returned home and pushed the chestnut balls to the backyard to dry. Looking at the thorny balls covering the ground, Baiyunxi was extremely satisfied.
"Peel these off and it will be enough for us to eat for a while."
Taking advantage of her free time, she asked Du to make some thickened gloves so that they could peel chestnuts without pricking their hands.
"Mom, I seemed to see Grandpa when I came back just now." Li took the glove and tried it, fixed it with scissors, put it under her feet and stepped hard, and several chestnut fruits rolled out from the thorn ball.
