"That's right, last time our old patriarch was kind enough to give you a bag of sweet potatoes. It's okay if you don't feel grateful. He actually repaid you with a grudge and went into the village to steal food. This time, we have to arrest you and send you to prison."
"You people are so heartless. When you first went to the village to beg for food, which time did you not give anything? It's because you are greedy and don't mind giving less, and you try to cause trouble. We are also poor people, and we don't have any extra food to help others.
."
"If you are really capable, go beg for food in front of the houses of those landlords and squires. The cracks in their fingers will be enough for you to fill your belly."
"That's right. The landlords and squire's families have plenty of food. If you don't dare to come to beg for food, you just don't follow your good intentions and bully the weak and avoid the strong."
When they were stopped at the entrance of the village while trying to grab food, those people originally felt a little guilty. But now they heard the scoldings, especially the contemptuous looks in their eyes that they were being looked down upon. It stung them, and their little guilty conscience suddenly disappeared.
trace.
The sky is huge, the earth is big, and the belly is the biggest, so they have no choice but to do it.
After some mental construction, he raised his neck, looked fiercely, and spat fiercely,
"Bah~, we are all starving to death. You are so stingy that you can't even give us a grain of food. What's the use of a bag of sweet potatoes? There are so many of us, and one meal is gone. We young people can still survive, women and children.
Which child can withstand it?"
"What I'm saying is that we don't want to rob. If you were more generous, we wouldn't have gone to such an extent. We were forced to have no choice but to take this step. No matter what, we can't just watch the children starve.
Die."
"Ugh... just pity us. These children are almost dying of hunger. If we don't eat, we really won't be able to save our lives."
"We poor people are really desperate. We have no food and we will starve to death sooner or later..."
Seeing the scene in front of them, everyone hesitated a little. If they grabbed the food past them, the women and children would be hurt. If they didn't take it back, their family would also be out of food.
"That's right, return it to us quickly, otherwise, don't blame us for being rude."
Listening to his father's tone, Bai Yunsong also had a dark face.
"In view of the theft a while ago, we have already reported it to the official. We will do it again and again. Although you are pitiful, you cannot rob the villagers of Willow Bay of our food rations."
The people in the village had never seen this kind of battle before, and they didn't know what to do for a while. They could only turn their heads and look at Li Zheng and his son.
After a dispute, the women and children who heard the noise rushed over and knelt down on the ground, kowtowing to the villagers and complaining about something. The miserable wailing sound penetrated the eardrums, making those who listened feel sad.
The old patriarch took a deep breath and stared at the other party,
"Everyone knows that your life is difficult, but our village is not rich either. If you rob it, you are breaking the law. It's hard for you. As long as the food is returned, I won't hold you responsible."
With the support of the clan leader, the villagers immediately felt confident.
Listening to Bai Yunsong's tone, those people pursed their lips tightly, with fierce eyes in their eyes, and slowly backed away to protect the food.
The villagers wanted to give chase, but were blocked by a group of kneeling women. If they wanted to pass, they had to step on them.
Although these people usually like to take advantage and are selfish, they really don't have the guts to trample on people without caring about them.
The women were crying and staring at the villagers pitifully, with no intention of getting out of the way.
