After hearing everyone's unanimous reply, the old patriarch turned to look at his son. Seeing that he was so angry that he couldn't even speak, he couldn't help but frown.
Based on his understanding of his son, even if he wanted to gain a good reputation with high moral character, he would not give away all the food in the family.
There was either a misunderstanding or something went wrong, but when things got to this point, it was really a bit tricky.
In any case, Bai Yunsong is now the leader of Willow Bay. If the villagers brought trouble to his family, it would be a good thing to say or not.
The old patriarch pondered for a while,
"You go back first. I will investigate this matter and give you an explanation."
Everyone listened to the old patriarch's tone and felt a little reluctant.
"Uncle, we're all here, why don't you give us some food to take back? The food at home has been exhausted. If we don't get more food, we will be hungry."
"Yes, since Li Zheng promised us, we have to give something more or less."
Bai Yunsong looked at the shameless looks of everyone and shouted angrily,
"You stupid people are so stupid. When did I promise to provide food supplies? Is this just an excuse you deliberately made to rely on me? Are you really treating me like a fool?"
"I have already said that even if I don't do this, I will not raise food for you anymore. Now, get out of my house immediately. If you dare to act rogue again, I will report it to the official immediately."
"If you want to have a taste of hard labor, just hang out with me here. I won't believe you and I can't cure you."
Seeing Bai Yunsong getting angry, everyone was extremely angry. They all stared at him with red eyes, as if they were enemies.
"Looking at what you said, it's not what we wanted to come. It was what you promised to us. Now you've turned your back and refused to admit it, and you're blaming us. In the final analysis, you're still legitimately unqualified."
"You're right. You want a good reputation, and we want to fill our bellies. We each get what we need, isn't it just right?"
"That's the reason. You can't just get benefits and don't care about our life or death. Even if we report to the official, we have to have a good fight with the official."
While they were talking, another group of people poured in outside the door, each carrying buckets and cloth bags in their hands, with excited expressions on their faces.
When I saw the scene in front of me, I was a little confused.
"What's going on? Didn't you say that we are approaching our food supply? Why are you making a fuss? How much are you delaying things with these big eyes and small eyes?"
"That's right, hurry up, don't stand still, collect the food as soon as possible, and go home early to cook."
The old patriarch looked at the villagers who were approaching him, tried his best to calm down, and stood up directly.
"Stop making such a fuss. I have finally understood what happened today. You must have been deceived by others to come to my house to make a fuss..."
Before the old patriarch could finish speaking, he was interrupted.
"Uncle, don't worry. No one is trying to trick you. We came here because of Li Zheng's promise. Otherwise, how could we come in for no reason?"
No matter what the old man said, everyone put the blame on Bai Yunsong, and then looked at him eagerly, waiting for him to open the warehouse to release grain.
Bai Yunsong looked at the people who would not give up until they achieved their goals. His forehead was pounding, his face was red, his mouth was trembling, and he was so angry that he couldn't say a word.
Just when he couldn't control the anger in his heart and cursed again, he suddenly felt his heart tightening, his vision went dark, and with a plop, he fell on his back.
