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 too lazy. 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 have suffered a disaster, can we still watch them freeze to death and starve to death?"

"The patriarch is wrong. Since ancient times, lazy people have often caused mischief. 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."

Seeing the resistance on the faces of his clan members, 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 point. 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 a cold winter. Each of our families can store as much winter grain as they can to feed themselves."

"No, if we run out of food then, will the clan leader also help raise food to tide us over?"

Bai Yunsong's face turned dark after hearing the questions from his tribe.

"Even if we are a family, if we are really in trouble, we will naturally help each other."

"We feel relieved because of the clan leader's words. Everyone also bears witness. If we don't have food to eat by then, we will ask the clan leader to help us survive."

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

For the first time, I personally realized that this clan leader not only has a great name, but also has a lot of responsibility. 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 you have to get through it even if you grit your 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, and if their family doesn't have enough food, they will definitely come to trouble him, the clan leader.

It was 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.

After 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 open his mouth, but his cousin didn't say a bad word and asked his nephew's wife to prepare two liters of coarse grains and hand them over.

Only then did he feel 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 shack 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 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 his pipe and pot.

"What's wrong? But we encountered some difficulty."
