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

 Chapter 704: rice promotion and rice enmity

Baiyunxi waved her hand and let the tenants do their own business. She and her son walked in the fields with their heads down.

Looking at the sweaty people carrying water to water the ground, there were shouts, conversations, and occasionally a few quarrels.

 Being among them, this is actually the life of the people at the bottom, the fireworks of the city.

“We all know the hard work of sharecroppers, but people from each class have their own rules of survival. If we don’t interfere with each other, everyone can live in peace. If we intervene, it will only bring endless trouble to ourselves, and there will be no benefit at all.”

Bai Yunxi said, looking at the confused eyes of the second son,

"To put it bluntly, you can't let people just ask you for help. The more you ask for it, the more it becomes a habit. When the time comes, whenever they encounter difficulties, they will subconsciously ask you for help. We are tenants. Relationships are not about food, clothing and parents, this must be distinguished.”

“And you have a simple and honest character. You don’t see people’s difficulties and always want to lend a hand. This habit has to be changed. You can help for a while, but you can’t help for a lifetime. Helping people in emergencies does not help the poor. This is the wise saying left by our ancestors.”

"For example, if there is a big disaster, everyone needs to help. It is best to have the government take the lead. People are afraid of the majesty of the government and dare not make trouble. If you set up a porridge shed or something like that, the victims can help Your porridge shed was overturned."

Now he also wants to have that intimidating aura. If he becomes a feared young master, and walks among the tenant farmers in the future, he won't have to ask his mother for advice on everything.

“Mom, what if we don’t help you and people say we are heartless and unjust?”

Wenyou glanced at Bai Anyan and spoke coldly.

He had never thought about this before. He just wanted to help, but he didn't expect that there would be so many twists and turns.

How can you help others and end up getting revenge?

Bai Anyan looked dumbfounded, a little unable to bend, but he knew in his heart that what his mother said was right.

Turning to look at Wenyou who looked indifferent, Baiyunxi raised his eyebrows, "Wenyou, what do you think?"

Bai Yunxi said, looking at Lao Er's face that was so frightened that he stopped talking.

Hearing his mother's question, Bai Anyan was stunned and remained silent for a while before speaking.

“If you can’t even protect your family, how can you talk about anything else? In prosperous times, people live and work in peace and contentment, and rarely engage in trouble. Once in troubled times, only the strong can survive. Only those with hard wrists and hard hearts can stand firm and protect their families.”

 He learned a lot about life from his mother and thought he had made progress. I didn’t expect that I would easily become soft-hearted when things happen. He couldn't see people looking pitiful in front of him, so he always wanted to extend his hand.

“If nothing else, there is a famous saying from our ancestors that can help you avoid a lot of troubles, ‘Rise rice with kindness and fight rice with hatred.’ These words should be engraved in your mind.”

“Mother said these words not because of ruthlessness, but as a way of survival. You are not a savior and cannot overcome the suffering of the world. It is your duty to only protect your family.”

 When there is a problem with the fields, no matter how much the tenant farmers cry out, they remain indifferent. In the past, he only thought that the landowners and gentry were cold, heartless and inhumane. Now that he has also stood in the position of a landlord, he somewhat admires their unmoved expression. In the past, he only thought that those squires relied on their own land to be arrogant and bully the poor, which was really abominable.

“Because you have also come from poverty step by step, and you understand their difficulties best. But some people take advantage of this and take advantage of you, pretending to be miserable and pitiful to gain sympathy.”

 Sheng rice favors vs. rice hatred?

"You have obviously done good things, but you are left with nothing. If you want to get out, you are suspected of being guilty. If you continue to give charity, are you feeling depressed? Are you angry?"

 Actually, he also knows that a soft-hearted person can easily be manipulated by others and taken advantage of by those who are interested, but sometimes, he just can't control it.

 Seeing the distressed look on his second brother's face, Baiyunxi turned to the road at the end of the field and prepared to get up and leave.

This little bear was frightened by her?

If you ask him how to solve it, Bai Anyan's brows knit into knots and he doesn't know how to solve it.

Hearing his mother's instructions, Bai Anyan was shocked and looked a little embarrassed.

Bai Anyan looked guilty. He would soon be a father. If he couldn't stand it, he would definitely make his son laugh.

They are landowners, and most of them are poor people. Everyone has their own difficulties, and they can't take care of them even if they are weak. In the end, there is no other outcome except being resented by others and turning against them.

 If you don’t borrow it, you will definitely offend others, and in short, you will not get along well with each other.

“Mom, I will work hard, but for some reason, when I see them begging me with a sad face, I easily become soft-hearted.”

 They are the owners, shouldn’t they help the tenant farmers solve their difficulties?

Would it seem too heartless if people ignored their requests at the door?

　　Listening to the second child’s thoughts, Baiyun Xi was silent for a moment.

"The weather right now is too extreme, and I don't know how long it will last. If it doesn't rain for another month, even if everyone works hard to water, the food production will still be reduced. By then, both the tenant farmers and the villagers will face the problem of hunger. If they What should you do if you come to borrow food?"

“…If we lend it out, everyone will follow suit. Our family’s food is simply not enough to borrow.”

Although my mother said he was soft-hearted, it was actually because he was not strong enough and could not control the situation.

Bai Yunxi looked at his troubled eyes and twitched the corner of his mouth helplessly. If she could, she would rather spend her time raising the next generation than let this group of bears challenge her nerves.

If he had a tougher character, like those squires, he would scold those who made trouble indiscriminately, and then give each of them fifty slaps.

Bai Yunxi wiped his forehead with a handkerchief, took the fan from Wenyou, and shook it gently.

Bai Anyan: “…”

Thinking of this, Bai Anyan pursed his lips and couldn't help but think of the increase in food prices due to rumors of war the year before, and his face suddenly turned bad.

“Aunt Bai is right. We must not be the first person. Whoever takes the lead will die quickly.”

 Today I went out and asked my mother to remind him again and again. In the end, my mother stepped forward to help him solve the embarrassing situation. I just felt guilty.

"You are right. When there is a natural disaster, no one has food. As long as you open the door and borrow food, the rest of the people will be able to break through the threshold of our house. If you dare to resist at that time, someone will dare to rob it. . Bandits appear in troubled times, and once people are hungry and anxious, they can do anything."

Bai Anyan: “…”

 Is it so difficult to do a good deed nowadays?
