Mrs. Zheng saw that the head of the family was talking about it, and she really didn't mean to be angry. She felt a little bolder.
"It's okay, let's not talk about it from afar. I'll just tell you that you went to the town in the snow and wind to report to the official a few days ago. You didn't have anything to eat or drink for a day. How much you must have suffered. I feel bad just thinking about it."
As soon as she opened her mouth, Ms. Zheng immediately looked aggrieved and distressed.
"When I think about the fact that the head of the family has paid so much for the village and done so many things, and now they are forcing him to give up his job, I can't bear to think about it."
Listening to his wife's angry tone, Bai Yunsong was stunned for a moment. Thinking about the things he had done for the village over the past year, he felt really angry, but what could he do?
He did it all willingly and no one forced him.
Because of some decisions, I offended my cousin's family and ended up in trouble.
He knew that he was a bit rigid in doing things, and he also knew that some things really made his cousin feel wronged.
But he has always believed that they are all relatives after all, so of course his family should take more care of him, and at worst, he can make up for it elsewhere in the future.
But I didn't expect that my cousin would be alienated from their family because of that incident, which was somewhat chilling.
That alone is enough, but those who benefited from it in the village are all white-eyed and ungrateful people no matter how you think about it.
"You can imagine that I am not stupid. Since they just want to hide behind me, if they default on their debt later, what can I do to them?"
Seeing Zheng's surprised tone, Bai Yunsong's eyes were gloomy and he spoke in a deep voice.
Thinking of this, Bai Yunsong could not control his breathing.
Bai Yunsong said and spat angrily,
"So, even if I don't take this seriously, I won't borrow food for them and bear the debt for no reason, and damage our family's reputation. If it affects Anbang's future scientific research, then that's it.
It’s really not cost-effective.”
Listening to the head of the family mentioning her son, Ms. Zheng nodded in agreement.
"What the head of the family said makes sense. We really can't affect our son's education. We will reject anything that is not good for our son. We only have one son, and we will rely on him to support us in our old age."
"They are all stupid people with thick skins that cannot be broken. They actually want me to help borrow food from my cousin. What a beautiful thought. Let me borrow food. If they don't return it by then, wouldn't it be for nothing?
Let me bear a debt?"
He was only thinking about the village, and in the end he had people blocking the door of his house to make a fuss, which made him angry just thinking about it.
A bunch of starving ghosts can't even feed themselves. If we expect them to pay back food, we might as well believe that pigs can climb trees.
"My cousin's family already has a lot of opinions about me, how can I have the shame to cause all this trouble again?"
Listening to the master's tone, Mrs. Zheng was stunned.
"What? They want the master to borrow food from Yunxi girl, what do they think? They want to borrow it for themselves, why do they want you to be the middleman? They don't want to just borrow it but not pay it back, right?"
After all, when it comes to Baiyun River, Mrs. Zheng still can't help but think about it.
The life of my cousin's family is getting better and better. They live in a big house and have so much land in their hands. They will definitely have no worries about food and drink in the future.
Not to mention that the people in the village were jealous, even she was very jealous when they saw her. Unfortunately, after the gap between their two families, they had nothing to talk about. Even if they reluctantly came to the door, they would have nothing to say.
Thinking of this, Ms. Zheng squinted her eyes, raised a smile at the corner of her mouth, glanced at the head of the family carefully, let out a long sigh of relief, and praised her.
