Listening to his father's tone, Bai Yunsong clenched his fists and tried to suppress the anger in his heart.
"What my father taught me was that I shouldn't take over these things."
Mrs. Bai watched her son lower his head in frustration, feeling extremely distressed.
"Son, just think about it. You are the leader of Willow Bay and the biggest official in the village. Only by not giving them face can you show your majesty."
"My dear grandson has told me that the people in the village are all ignorant fools. Apart from being greedy and taking advantage, we can't benefit from anything else."
As soon as Mrs. Bai said these words, the old patriarch narrowed his eyes and said, "Old lady, don't talk to Anbang about village affairs in the future, so as not to disturb his study."
"You don't need to tell me this? But the village is sometimes crying and being robbed, and it's never quiet for a day."
Listening to the old man's instructions, Old Mrs. Bai gave him a blank look.
"Just like today, people are blocking the door and making trouble. How can my dear grandson not hear it?"
The old patriarch paused, then squinted his eyes and filled a pot of tobacco, put it to his nose and took a sniff.
"Although your mother's words are not pleasant to the ears, she is the one who is responsible. She should hold her airs properly and don't get involved in everything. As the old saying goes, if you are not deaf or dumb, you will not be a family man. This is exactly what happened.
Li'er."
Listening to his father's reminder, Bai Yunsong blinked.
Listening to his wife's comfort, Bai Yunsong raised his head and drank a bowl of water, then handed the bowl to her, his tone much better.
"Don't worry, I'm not that vulnerable."
Since the head of the family took over the position of being an upright lady, when she goes out, others call her an upright lady and everyone compliments her. To be honest, she really enjoys it.
"The boss really doesn't want to be upright anymore?"
Suddenly returning to the starting point, I felt somewhat unwilling to accept it.
Mrs. Zheng came back to serve him. Looking at the man leaning on the couch, she quickly poured him a glass of water and put it into his hand.
"Master, you are really tired these days. Take a rest at home and don't go out these days. It's freezing to death in the snow and ice, and everyone in our family is pointing at you. If you are tired, it will be good for our family.
What should I do?"
He didn't even notice the stupid people in the village. He had a purpose in helping them, but the result was that the effort was not equal to the gain, which made people irritated.
The few of them talked for a while, and Bai Yunsong said he was tired and went back to the house to rest for a while.
Seeing his son's sluggish appearance, the old patriarch puffed away at his cigarette.
"There is really no money to be made in this position of Li Zheng. It's just for the sake of reputation. If you feel tired and panicked, then it's okay."
"My son understands, and my father is worried. To be honest, I'm really annoyed by this, and I really want to give up my job."
Zheng was completely relieved when she saw that he didn't really look sad.
As soon as the old patriarch said these words, Mrs. Zheng's eyes flashed and she moved her mouth, but she did not dare to speak in front of her father-in-law.
"It's a bit annoying. I face that group of people every day and it makes me upset."
Bai Yunsong didn't pay attention to Zheng's eyes and said it without thinking.
When Mrs. Zheng heard this, her heart skipped a beat.
"Head of the family, if you relinquish the responsibility of Li Zheng now, wouldn't all the hard work in the past be in vain? Since you became Li Zheng, you have devoted yourself to the villagers, and you have been hard and tired through wind and rain. Just stepping down like this, I always feel
I’m so worried about the loss.”
Hearing his wife's dissatisfied tone, Bai Yunsong was stunned.
"What, you still want to make up for it? Dad has been a righteous man his whole life, and he has not gained much. I have only been a righteous man for a year, so what do I have to lose?"
