Listening to Li Shi's words, Bai Yunxi shook her head, "Blessing is not the same thing as being smart."

When Mrs. Li retorted, a hearty laugh sounded at the door, "Stop arguing with your mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Smart people are blessed. Which fool do you see is blessed?"

While talking, Mrs. Song Wang walked in with the basket.

"I took out a lot of radishes from the cellar today and brought some over to you."

Bai Yunxi looked at the red-skinned radishes in the basket, smiled and beckoned him to sit down.

"Just now I mentioned you to my daughter-in-law, saying that our family has eaten a lot of vegetables from you these days, and that I will repay you well."

Bai Yunxi said, shrugging his shoulders helplessly,

"There's an old saying that's good, don't talk about ghosts when it's dark, don't talk about people behind their backs, and you can be read in one sentence."

Listening to Baiyunxi's ridicule, Song Wang raised her head and laughed.

"That's right, who made it possible for the two of us to talk, I finally made you a friend, but I can't let you run away so easily. No matter what, I have to use these vegetables to plug your mouth, so that you have no reason not to Treat me."

"I've never seen such a thick-skinned person. In my conscience, the refugees we had at the beginning were not bad. Seeing how pitiful they are, I will give them a bite every time."

"My family almost had an accident last night. Let me make a long story short... I thought that the court set up a free porridge shed, and our village would be safe. But last night, someone dug a hole in our wall. If the dog didn't find it in time, maybe it would have happened. What will happen?"

"But what happened?" Song Wang listened to Bai Yunxi's tone, saw her slightly serious expression, and subconsciously straightened her body.

"I was thinking, either the refugees or the thieves mixed among the refugees, who specialize in this kind of thieves. I thought that your family has a lot of people, and we all just harvested the autumn grain and didn't sell it. Take good precautions so that no one can take advantage of it.”

"The main reason is that we don't know how long this troubled world will last. It's always better to have more protection."

Listening to Bai Yuxi's reminder, Song Wang's face turned pale, and she stood up abruptly.
"What, someone dug a hole in the courtyard wall of your house? These people are really too much. We don't provoke them, and we pity them from time to time. Give them something to eat. It's fine if you don't appreciate it. How dare you steal?"

Bai Yunxi smiled and pulled him to the corridor, where Du Shi gave him a bowl of sugar water,
"Speaking of business, even if you don't come, I have to let the children find you after breakfast."

"But we are not a wealthy family. It is unrealistic to want to give too much at one time, but it is better than nothing. One should not be too greedy."

"Oh, then you did the right thing. I have to entertain you just for your basket of vegetables. Otherwise, whose house should I go to ask for vegetables?"

Song Wangshi said, her face flushed with anger,

"To put it bluntly, we didn't cause them to be pitiful. Why do they always harass us? Let me tell you, if someone comes into the village to beg again, they should not give them a single penny. Don't blame us for being cruel. They made it themselves."

Bai Yunxi listened to Song Wang's tone, and nodded in agreement, "Who says it's not, it can only be considered unlucky for us, and it's over."

"My family was missed last night, and it was also caused by my yard. It is too conspicuous in the village. But in the final analysis, it is those thieves who are greedy and want to get something for nothing."

Human hearts are greedy. We can control ourselves, but we cannot control the hearts of others.
