Being scolded as a poor widow, I relied on supernatural powers to counterattack in ancient times

Chapter 704
Bai Yunxi waved her hand and let the tenants do their own work. She walked with her son in the field with her head bowed.

Watching the people sweating profusely pouring water on the ground, there were yelling, talking, and occasional quarrels.

Being in it, in fact, this is the life of the people at the bottom, the smoke and fire of the market.

"We all know that the sharecroppers are working hard, but people of each class have their own rules of survival. If you don't interfere with each other, everyone can live in peace. If you intervene, it will bring endless troubles to yourself, and there will be no benefit."

Bai Yunxi said, looking at the puzzled eyes of the second child,
"To put it bluntly, people can't just open their mouths to ask you. If you ask for more times, you will develop a habit. At that time, whenever they encounter difficulties, they will subconsciously ask you for help. We are tenants. Relationship, not food and clothing, parents, this must be distinguished."

Bai Anyan: "..."

They are the owners, shouldn't they help the tenant farmers solve their difficulties?
Wouldn't it be too heartless if people begged to go to the door and ignore it?
Listening to the voice of the second child, Bai Yunxi fell silent for a moment,
"The current weather is too extreme, and I don't know how long it will last. But if it doesn't rain for another month, even if everyone waters it desperately, the food production will still decrease. At that time, both tenant farmers and villagers will face the problem of hunger. If they Come to borrow food, what should you do?"

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

"...If it is borrowed, everyone will follow suit. Our family does not have enough food to borrow."

If you don't borrow, you will definitely offend others. In short, there is no balance between right and left.

Thinking of this, Bai Anyan pursed the corners of his mouth, and couldn't help but think of the incident that caused the price of food to rise due to the rumors of the war the year before last, and his complexion suddenly turned dark.

If he wanted to ask him how to solve it, Bai Anyan frowned and didn't know how to solve it.

Looking at his tangled eyes, Bai Yunxi twitched the corners of her mouth helplessly.If possible, she would rather bother to train the next generation than let this group of brats challenge her nerves.

"You are right. In the event of a natural disaster, everyone has no food. But if you open your mouth 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 There are bandits in troubled times, and once a person is hungry, he can do anything."

"And you have a simple and honest character. You don't see people in trouble, and you always want to reach out. This habit has to be changed. You can help for a while, but you can't help forever. This is the most reasonable saying left by your ancestors."

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

"Mother said these words are not ruthless, but the way of survival. You are not a savior, you cannot overcome the suffering of the world, and your only duty is to protect your family."

"If you can't even protect your family, how can you talk about other things? In a prosperous age, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and there are few disputes. Once in a troubled world, only the strong can survive. Only with a hard wrist and a hard heart can they stand firm and protect their families."

Listening to his mother's teaching, Bai Anyan's heart was shocked, and his face was a little embarrassed.

He learned a lot of ways of life from his mother, and thought he had grown up.I didn't expect that when encountering something, it would be easy to soften my heart.Seeing how pitiful people are in front of him, he always wants to reach out his hand.

In fact, he also knows that a soft heart is easy to be led by the nose, and easy to be taken advantage of by caring people, but sometimes, he just can't control it.

Although my mother said that he was soft-hearted, in fact, he was not strong enough to control the situation.

I went out today and asked my mother to remind me again and again, but in the end it was my mother who came forward to help him solve the embarrassing situation. I only felt guilty.

If he had a tougher personality, he would be like those squires who would scold troublemakers indiscriminately, and then each would hit them with [-] slaps.

If there is a problem in the field, no matter how much the tenant farmers cry and beg, they will remain indifferent.In the past, he only thought that the landlords and squires were indifferent and inhuman.Now that he has also stood in the position of the landlord, he admires their unmoved expression.

In the past, he only thought that those country gentry, relying on their own land, set their eyes high above the top, arrogant and bullying the poor, which is really abhorrent.

Now he also wants to have that intimidating aura. If he is a dreaded young master, he will walk among the tenants in the future, and he doesn't need to ask his mother to remind him of everything.

"Mother, I will work hard, and for some reason, when I see them begging me with bitter faces, my heart will soften."

Bai Anyan had a guilty expression on his face, he would soon become a father, if he couldn't stand up, he would definitely make the baby laugh at him.

"Because you have also come from poverty step by step, and you understand their difficulties best. But some people just take advantage of you, opportunistically, and pretend to be miserable to win sympathy."

They are landlords, and most of the people they face are the poor. Everyone has their own difficulties.

"Not to mention anything else, the old ancestor still has a famous saying, which can save you a lot of trouble, 'Sheng Mi En fights Mi Qiu', these words are engraved in your mind."

Sheng Mien fights Mi Qiu?

Why do you help people out for revenge?
Bai Anyan's expression was blank, and she couldn't turn it around, but she knew in her heart that what mother said was right.

Before, he never thought about these things, and in the spirit of being able to help, he didn't expect that there would be so many twists and turns.

"Mother, what if people say we are ungrateful and ungrateful if we don't help?"

Seeing the distressed look of the second child, Bai Yunxi turned to the main road at the end of the field, ready to get up and leave.

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

"Hungry people are irrational, and they don't reason with you. Some people will try to make trouble and pick thorns in order to eat more. They say that you are fishing for fame and disregarding the life and death of the victims. Otherwise, the porridge is not thick enough. , there is no such thing as starving food."

"Let you do good deeds, but you end up in a bad place. If you want to get out, you are guessed to be guilty. If you continue to give alms, are you depressed in your heart? Are you angry?"

Bai Yunxi said, looking at the face of the second child who was pale with fright, You shut up.

This cub was frightened by her?

Turning to look at Wen You who looked calm, Bai Yunxi raised her eyebrows, "Wen You, what do you think?"

"Auntie Bai is right. She is determined not to be the first bird. Whoever is the first will die sooner."

Wenyou glanced at Bai Anyan, and said coldly.

Bai Anyan: "..."

Is it so hard to do a good thing now?
