Chapter 450: Exhausting Myself
Even if he gritted his teeth and carried it hard, he had to bear it, otherwise, all the hard work in the early stage would be in vain.
After listening to Bai Yunsong's promise, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"That's good. Li Zheng goes to report to the official first. Go back quickly. We are waiting for you to come back to discuss the donation."
Looking at the continuous falling snowflakes, Bai Yunsong did not dare to delay. He went home and put on his raincoat, preparing to report to the town.
The old patriarch looked at his son, highlighting the smoke in his mouth, "Besides going to the town to report it to the police, what are you going to do with the stolen house?"
Listening to his father's questions, Bai Yunsong's already depressed heart became even more agitated.
"Last year during the snowstorm, the food donated by the villagers helped those families tide over the difficulties. This year, if it was someone else, would they still be able to do nothing to save them?"
Listening to his son's irritable tone, the old patriarch was silent for a while and sighed,
"The families that suffered from the snow disaster last year were caused by natural disasters and man-made disasters. In the final analysis, it was caused by laziness. It would be great if families like them can take care of themselves and not go hungry. If you take the lead in collecting food donations, you have to count on other villagers to contribute. This time, you have a lot of complaints here.”
"We all live in the same village. It might be their turn one day. If the matter doesn't fall on me, naturally a hundred of them won't want to. But which one of them dares to promise me that I won't be unlucky next time?"
Bai Yunsong looked at his father, who was squinting. He looked anxious.
“As long as they dare not promise, they have to donate food, otherwise don’t blame me for being ruthless.
With that said, without waiting for the old patriarch to speak, he put his hat on his head and turned around and went out.
The old patriarch looked at his son's back and sighed deeply. This child has taken on too many things for himself.
Maybe he made a mistake and shouldn't have passed on the official position to him. When dealing with neighborly affairs, you can't just rely on enthusiasm.
"Old lady, ask Mrs. Zheng to go to Lao San's house and call Yunshan over. Tell him that I have something to ask him."
"What are you doing with Yunshan?"
"Don't ask if you shouldn't. If your son continues like this, the family's food will run out sooner or later. That boy in Yunshan is smart, let me see if he has any good ideas?"
The old patriarch glared at her. After the last incident when Yunshan and Yunxi girl teamed up to seize food, he felt that Yunshan's boy had quick reactions and courage. He didn't know what he thought of the theft in the village.
"What? You want Yunshan to steal our son's limelight?" When Mrs. Bai heard this, she immediately became unhappy.
"Silly old woman, your son is taking charge of everything. He is in the limelight, but sooner or later the family will be drained. You will regret it when you are hungry."
As the old patriarch said, he knocked on the bench leg angrily.
"Yunshan often works in the county and is well-informed. Asking his opinion will also reduce the burden on your son."
When it came to the food at home, Old Mrs. Bai choked, then snorted unconvinced,
"Song'er is Li Zheng. All he needs to do is lead people to collect food. As long as he doesn't use his own food, how can he spend all his money?"
"Your son is Li Zheng. If he doesn't take the lead in donating food, why should others donate? I'm too lazy to give you nonsense, so I'll ask Mrs. Zheng to call Yunshan over."
Forget it if you make him mad, one or two will only cause too much trouble for him.
Seeing that the old man was angry, Mrs. Bai didn't say much. She walked to the door with crutches, raised the curtain and shouted into the next room, which frightened Mrs. Zheng.
"Mom, what...what happened?"
