Chapter 419: United Against External Forces
"...Then if we help, what will we do if no one helps us in the future?" Bai Anyan pursed his lips and spoke without thinking.
Seeing the confusion in Lao Er's eyes, Bai Yunxi waved his hand.
"We can't predict what will happen next, but let's show our attitude first and prove that our family is not in trouble at the critical moment. If something happens to our family and no one comes to help, my mother will get back the previous debt."
Bai Yunxi curled her lips. She was not a kind person. Even if she was an enemy of the whole village, she would have to retaliate.
Looking at his mother's eyes, Bai Anyan's heart trembled. He seemed to have seen ice particles in his mother's eyes just now, and he was trembling with cold.
He was so frightened that he immediately rushed out and went to cheer for the village.
Xiaosi looked at his second brother running away and laughed happily.
"Mom, I'll go take a look too."
"You? Let's forget it. Why are you a half-grown kid joining in the fun?"
Bai Yunxi glared at him. In the eyes of the refugees, a fourteen-year-old child had no deterrent effect at all. It would be in vain if he went there.
"Mom, I'm fourteen years old and I'm a man now."
Xiaosi gestured with his arms in disapproval and showed off his strength. Unfortunately, no matter how much he showed it, in Bai Yunxi's eyes, he was still a fourteen-year-old child.
In this day and age, boys as young as twelve are considered adults.
"Don't add to the mess. If you have nothing to do, go and treat the remaining land and sow vegetable seeds."
Xiaosi resisted, but just when he was about to say something, he ran over softly and wheezed, his eyes suddenly lit up,
"Mom, I'm going to take Ruanruan with me. Look, our Ruanruan is so tall and powerful. If I take it with me, I'll definitely piss off those refugees."
Bai Yunxi was stunned, looking at the dog's big copper-bell-like eyes, high erect ears, and wide mouth, revealing a set of sharp teeth. It looked really ferocious.
"It's okay to go and have a look. Once a conflict breaks out, you must withdraw. Children are not suitable for fighting."
"Okay, I won't do anything." After getting permission, Xiaosi rubbed the dog's head, "Ruanruan, let's go and watch the fun."
Seeing one person and one dog rushing out, Bai Yunxi also walked out of the door and looked at the noisy group of people surrounding him not far away.
She wouldn't get involved in this kind of thing.
Just as he was about to close the door and go back, he saw his cousin hurried over with his uncle in his arms. Behind them, followed a group of young and middle-aged men, each with a guy in his hand.
"Yunxi girl, why are you standing at the door in such a mess? Go back to the yard and negotiate with the refugees. It's a matter for the gentlemen."
"Cousin, hurry in. You women can't cause trouble at this time."
Bai Yunsong glanced at her and spoke seriously.
"Hurry, don't delay." Listening to his son's tone, the old patriarch glanced at him and urged him quickly.
Seeing the father and son hurried past, Bai Yunxi raised his eyebrows. Bai Yunsong was really unpleasant. Although there was no malice, it just made people uncomfortable.
Originally, she didn't want to join in the fun. The refugees grabbing food could not be solved by reasoning. If they wanted to take it back, they would have to rely on force.
Of course, the people in the village don't have much force value. Fighting relies on recklessness. You punch me, I kick you, then hug and wrestle, and finally kick, scratch and bite.
At this time, both sides stared at each other angrily, neither one willing to give in.
"You food thieves, how dare you steal in broad daylight, I will report you all to the police."
