Chapter 443: Advance Protection
After listening to Li's words, Bai Yunxi shook his head, "Being blessed is not the same as being smart.
Just when Mrs. Li retorted, a hearty laughter sounded at the door, "You mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, stop arguing. Smart people are blessed. Which fool do you see who is blessed?"
While talking, Mrs. Song Wang walked in carrying a basket.
"A lot of the radishes I buried in the ground were dug up, so I just brought them home today. They can still be eaten buried in the sand for a while. These are quite big, so I brought them to you to add to your vegetables. "
Bai Yunxi looked at the red-skinned radishes in the basket and smiled as she asked people to sit down.
"I mentioned you to my wife just now, saying that our family has eaten a lot of vegetables from you these days, and I wanted to repay you well."
Bai Yunxi said, helplessly shrugging her shoulders,
"As the old saying goes, if you don't talk about ghosts in the dark, and don't talk about people behind your back, you will be remembered in just one sentence."
Listening to Bai Yunxi's teasing, Song Wang raised her head and burst into laughter.
"That's right. Who made it possible for us to talk? I finally made you a friend, but I can't let you run away easily. No matter what, I have to plug your mouth with these vegetables so that you have no reason not to Take care of me."
"Oh, then you did the right thing. I have to treat you just for your basket of vegetables. Otherwise, whose house should I go to ask for vegetables later?"
Bai Yunxi smiled and pulled the person to the corridor, and Du gave him a bowl of sugar water.
"To get down to business, even if you don't come, I have to ask the children to find you after breakfast."
"But what happened?" Song Wang heard Bai Yunxi's tone and looked at her slightly serious expression, and straightened up subconsciously.
"My family almost had an accident last night. I'll make a long story short... I thought that the court set up a free porridge shack and our village would be stable. Who would have thought that someone dug a hole in our wall last night. If the dog hadn't discovered it in time, he might have been injured. What will happen?”
"I'm thinking that they are either refugees or thieves who hang out among the refugees, specializing in this kind of rooster and dog robbery. I think your family has a large population, and we have just harvested the autumn grain and have not sold it, so it is even more difficult for you to sell it. Protect yourself well so that no one can take advantage of it.”
"The main thing is that we don't know how long this troubled world will last. It's always good to have more protection."
After hearing Bai Yuxi's reminder, Mrs. Song's face turned pale and she stood up suddenly.
"What, someone dug a hole in your courtyard wall? These people are really too much. We don't provoke them, but we pity them from time to time and give them something to eat. It's just not grateful. How dare you steal?"
The geography carrot was pulled out, and she didn't even say anything. Isn't she satisfied?
"I've never seen such a shameless person. Honestly speaking, we were not bad at treating these refugees at the beginning. Seeing how pitiful they were, we would give them a bite every time."
"But we are not a wealthy family. It is unrealistic to give too much at once, but it is better than nothing. We can't be too greedy."
Mrs. Song said, her face turned red with anger,
"To put it bluntly, it is not our fault that they are pitiful. Why are they always harassing us? Let me tell you, if someone comes to the village again to beg, they should not give them a grain of food. Don't blame us for being cruel. They did it themselves.”
Bai Yunxi listened to Song Wang's tone and nodded in agreement, "Who says it's not the case? It can only be considered unlucky for us, and we are in trouble."
"My family was worried about last night, and it was also caused by my yard. It was too conspicuous in the village. But in the final analysis, the thieves were greedy and wanted to get something for nothing."
People's hearts are greedy. She can control herself, but she can't control people's hearts.
