I Was Called a Poor Widow, But I Relied on My Supernatural Powers To Fight Back In Ancient Times

Chapter 420: Intercepting grain robbers

“That’s right, last time our old clan leader was kind enough to give you a bag of sweet potatoes, so forget it if you don’t feel grateful, but he even repaid the kindness with enmity and went into the village to steal food. This time, I 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, when did you not give anything? It's because you are greedy and don't mind giving too little, 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 and beg for food at the doorsteps of the landlords and gentry, and they will have enough food to fill your belly.”

"That's right. The landlords and gentry have plenty of food. If you dare not come to beg for food, you are not acting on your good intentions and are bullying the weak and afraid of the strong."

When they were stopped at the entrance of the village while trying to grab food, those people were still a little guilty. But now they heard the scoldings, especially the contemptuous look in their eyes, which stung them, and their little guilty conscience suddenly disappeared. trace.

The sky is huge and the earth is big, and the belly is the biggest, so they have no choice but to do it.

 I made some mental plans, raised my 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."

“Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo, dah, we're gonna die. If we don't eat, we really can't save our lives.”

“We poor people are really desperate. We have no food, and we will starve to death sooner or later..."

After a dispute, the women and children who heard the noise rushed over, knelt down on the ground, kowtowed to the villagers, and cried out. The miserable wailing sound penetrated the eardrums, making those who listened feel sad.

Looking at 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 be out of food.

The villagers 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.

 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, you are breaking the law. I don't think it's easy for you. As long as the food is returned, I will not hold you responsible."

Hearing his father’s tone, Bai Yunsong’s face turned dark.

“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 rations of the villagers in Willow Bay.”

"Just give it back to us quickly, otherwise, don't blame us for being rude."

 With the support of the clan leader, the villagers suddenly felt confident.

Hearing Bai Yunsong's tone, those people pursed their lips tightly, with fierce 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 over them.

Although these people usually love 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.
