I Was Called a Poor Widow, But I Relied on My Supernatural Powers To Fight Back In Ancient Times

Chapter 417: A warning

Looking up at the high courtyard wall and the bamboo thorns stuck on it, their home should be the safest place in the entire village.

Baiyunxi stood under the persimmon tree, listening to the second child's thoughts, and shook his head speechlessly. He still lacked training.

“Mom thinks that your fourth brother sees things more clearly than you. People can do anything when they are hungry. People’s hearts are sinister, not what you think.”

This kid's thoughts made her feel very anxious.

Bai Anyan turned around and looked at his mother under the persimmon tree. His face was blank and he rubbed his face in a gesture.

Mother knows what he is thinking?

Looking at his naive look, Bai Yunxi twitched the corner of his mouth.

"Stop rubbing it. If you rub it any more, you will become bald... Mom knows you are kind, but kindness must have a bottom line. Take the refugees as an example, their existence has threatened the safety of our village."

“The provocations in the past few days have already tested the bottom line of the villagers, and it was your uncle who suppressed them. You were there at the time, how could you not feel it?”

Hearing her mother’s question, Bai Anyan’s face turned red.

“…The great grandfather had already told them at that time that the government would definitely arrange for them properly in the future and asked them to wait patiently for a few days.”

"That's what they say, but if the documents are not available for a day, they have to wait for a day, and they also need to eat during the waiting time. Moreover, they have been coming from the northwest for several months. The government has not expressed its position. How much will it be done? People are disappointed.”

“Waiting without hope can easily make people collapse. Coupled with the problems of hunger and disease, it’s easy to take risks.”

Bai Yunxi looked at him, raised his hand and pinched his eyebrows,

“People’s hearts are all greedy. They think twice about one thing, and they all say that it’s hard to satisfy their desires. This has been proven by us. You won’t forget it, right?”

Bai Anyan: “…”

Looking at the doubt in his eyes, Baiyunxi sighed,

"How did your father die of illness, and how long did it take for you to forget about it? He was killed by Jin Hong's greed. Once, Jin Hong and your father were close friends, and your father was even more confidant to him. He talked about everything. talk."

“But these friendships were lost to fifty coins.”

Hearing his mother's reminder, Bai Anyan's head buzzed. When he reacted, his face turned red and he opened his mouth, but could not say a word.

Baiyunxi didn't comfort him when he saw that he was in a state where he was struck by lightning. He just looked at him lightly.

"Based on the relationship between your father and Jin Hong, if your father could get an official position, he would definitely not abandon his friends. Jin Hong should also know your father's character. But he still chose to betray, directly drain the salary, violate the Conscience seeks its own benefit.”

"If this is the case among acquaintances, why do you think that the refugees outside will be kind to you just because you give them one or two steamed buns? They will only focus on you and keep asking for it, because they can only ask for it in front of you. Food, everyone follows suit, and our door is not made of iron, how much resistance do you think it can withstand?"

Hearing his mother's question, Bai Anyan was so ashamed that his head almost dropped to the ground. He had really forgotten his father.

　　What Xiaosi said is right, he had only had enough food for a few days, and he began to pity all living beings. He was not worthy of being his father's son, and even his hatred had been forgotten.

 “I…I…know I was wrong.”

 As a son, he is really unfilial.

Looking at him looking so guilty that he wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into, Bai Yunxi couldn't help but reflect, did she speak too harshly and hurt the kid?
