Looking at her uncle's thoughtful expression, Bai Yunxi lowered her eyebrows. If Yunshan's cousin was in charge of the village, it would be quiet in front of her door without saying anything else.
While the two were silent, Mrs. Du walked in with a bowl of egg water and said, "Grandpa, the egg tea is ready and the temperature is just right. Please try it."
The old man came back to his senses and looked at the bowl placed next to the table. There was a golden plumeria floating on it, a few drops of light oil flowers, and the fragrance was overflowing.
"You are interested."
One egg and a bowl of tea, soft and delicious.
The old man picked up the bowl, smelled it, took a sip, and relaxed his brows.
After a bowl of egg tea, the old man felt much better.
"Come on, my belly is warm, uncle is gone."
Bai Yunxi smiled and said, "I asked Xiaosi to see you off. The road is slippery and my niece is worried if you go out alone."
"No, I can still hold on for a few days with my old bones, so don't bother me."
The old man held the pipe and pot, hunched his body, and walked leisurely along the corridor to the door. When he was about to go out, he couldn't help but look back.
"Yunxi girl, why do you think all the villagers suddenly went to the uncle's house to borrow food?"
Looking at her uncle's probing eyes, Bai Yunxi spoke in a gentle tone and spread her hands,
"Of course my cousin is kind and doesn't want to see the villagers suffer."
Listening to Bai Yunxi's tone, the old man frowned and said, "...Although your cousin does things improperly, he is not bad at heart and has no selfish motives. I thought it would be fine if he practiced for a while longer, alas!"
Listening to the old man's sigh, Bai Yunxi shook his head,
"My uncle has been working hard to train my cousin, hoping that he can become a qualified and competent Li Zheng. This farce of borrowing food is a good training opportunity. If my cousin can't even bear this blow, then he
It’s really not suitable to be upright.”
"Moreover, I think the real training is not to do good deeds, but to be wronged."
Old patriarch: "..."
Seeing the old man looking at her without saying anything, Baiyunxi spread his hands,
"To train a person, one needs to endure more setbacks. The more hardships one encounters, the stronger one becomes. My cousin wants to be a good person, so he must understand this principle."
The old patriarch looked at his niece quietly for a moment and nodded.
"Yunsong's biggest problem is that he has a soft ear and doesn't tolerate people's cries and pleas. Sometimes it is inevitable that things will be treated unfairly and you will be wronged."
Listening to his uncle's tone, Bai Yunxi was stunned for a moment, then chuckled again,
"It doesn't matter. I have told my cousin before that if you do it again and again, there is nothing to feel wronged about."
As soon as Bai Yunxi said this, the old man shrank his eyes, remained silent for a moment, nodded, turned around and left.
Seeing the people disappear at the entrance of the village, Bai Yunxi turned around and went back. Looking at the heads crowded near the door, the corner of his mouth twitched.
"Mom, didn't you mean to tell grandpa what was rumored just now?"
Xiaosi stared with big eyes, what her mother meant just now was no different from directly pointing out.
"You think you can't guess it if I don't tell you about your great grandfather? This is the purpose of his coming today."
Baiyunxi walked into the courtyard,
"That's good. It just lets you uncle know that we also have a bottom line. We can't rely on the family ties that have been wiped out long ago to make people continue to be wronged. I don't care."
If the uncle wants to train his son, what does it mean to use her to practice?
The real training is to endure setbacks that others cannot bear. People always compliment you. That is not called training, that is called humiliation.
