"What are you preparing for?" Bai Liu was stunned, "Donating food?"
Bai Liu had a kind heart, so Bai Ling was not surprised that she would say this.
Seeing that Bai Sanshu's face was a little solemn, Bai Ling knew what Bai Sanshu was thinking and whispered:
"If the victims of the disaster really come here, we are afraid that the world will be in chaos. We have a workshop and so many industries. If we don't do anything right, we will be robbed. The loss is a small thing, but we are afraid of big troubles."
"Is this news accurate?" Bai Sanshu asked.
Bai Ling frowned lightly, naturally he would not say that the information came from Haitang, it was absolutely accurate.
"Yes." Bai Ling nodded and said, "There are already refugees going north. I guess there will be many people stopping on the way. It won't be long before we get the autumn harvest."
Transportation is not developed, and many towns will close their gates when they see refugees. It will naturally take more time to walk all the way to the north.
What's more, the refugees have no money or food, so they can't move fast at all.
"Then shall we plant winter wheat this year?" Bai Wei asked aloud.
"You can never forget to eat because of choking."
Bai Ling thought for a moment and said:
"If there is an influx of refugees, food prices will definitely rise and our business will be affected. We must be mentally prepared for this."
The whole family looked serious. Apparently Bai Ling had said it, and they realized that the disaster would involve their family.
"Does the court not care?" Bai Xing asked, blinking her innocent eyes.
"I know how to take care of it, but it's hard to say how many people will fall into the hands of ordinary people step by step, and how long it will take for them to really trickle down to the people. How else could so many people fleeing the famine come from?"
Bai Ling didn't want to make it too complicated, but in his heart he thought of those things in the wild history about people after disasters.
"What about our business? Shouldn't we do it?" Bai Wei's biggest concern has always been money.
"It depends on the situation. If it's too chaotic, we can only stop temporarily. Safety is the most important thing."
Taking a deep look at Bai Wei, Bai Ling found that he could no longer change Bai Wei's thoughts.
Fortunately, Bai Wei likes to make money, but she doesn't have bad intentions, otherwise she would really have a headache.
"Not only our family's business, but also all walks of life will be affected. Let's stop busying with other things for the past two days and think about what we should buy at home. If something really happens, we might as well have a plan.
At least we can protect ourselves. Besides, this matter cannot be spread outside. If the imperial court finds out about it, it will be a serious crime that confuses the people. Our third house will be completely ruined."
Bai Sanshu trembled and hurriedly said: "Second girl is right, you must not mention this matter to anyone. Even in front of the servants, you have to keep your mouth shut. Do you remember it?"
"Don't tell Xiaoshan, otherwise it will delay his studies, or if he accidentally lets his classmates know about it, the news will not be suppressed."
Bai Ling thought for a moment, frowned and said:
"If there is really chaos, just take Xiaoshan back. No one in the town will be safe at home."
"Tomorrow I'll go around with Uncle Fu. We'll have people watching our house and workshop, and we'll dig a few cellars. If something really happens, you mothers should have a place to hide. Nothing is more important than human life.
." Bai Sanshu wiped his face and said.
"Okay, I'll also go to the mountains to have a look. It's best to have a bigger cave and put some food there in advance."
After Bai Ling finished speaking, she saw everyone in the family looking at her, so she had to explain:
"The victims are not the most frightening. At most, they only need food and money. I'm afraid that thieves will take the opportunity to rob them. It's not safe to hide at home."
Bai Liu's face turned pale when he heard this, and he didn't know what he was thinking of.
Afraid of frightening the Bai Liu family, Bai Ling hurriedly comforted her: "I'm planning ahead, mother, don't worry so much. Our Zixiao City is no different from other places, it's not difficult to cause chaos."
"Mom, let's pack up all the valuable things at home. What the second sister said made me panic. We have finally saved up a fortune. If something happens, we still have to keep these things and food. As long as we don't die from hunger, our hands will
There is money in it, so we have nothing to fear."
Bai Wei hurriedly spoke out.
Bai Wei's words touched the hearts of the whole family. After being poor for so many years, they no longer wanted to live a life of eating wild vegetables every meal.
In the next period of time, the third room was very busy, and the servants also noticed something unusual, but they couldn't tell what was strange.
After all, rich people like to plan ahead and leave a way out for themselves, which is reasonable.
However, the villagers who were unaware of the famine in the south were still busy as usual, and occasionally chatted about everyday things when they had free time.
The most talked about thing during this period is the big room in the old house.
I don’t know what kind of bad luck Bai Dashu had, to find a job in the county town, and to have a relationship with the son of the county prime minister’s family.
As for the fact that Bai Dashu was donated by Bai Xue, the villagers did not know the details and thought that Bai Dashu was related to the county prime minister's family.
"Bai Ling, I'm going to marry the county magistrate in a few months. I'm going to have a big wedding at home. Don't forget to tell your parents and come in advance to make up for me."
Bai Xue, who was wearing satin clothes, twirled her orchid fingers to stop Bai Ling, who had just returned from the mountain, and said with a look of disgust:
"Even having servants can't change your family's poor appearance. With the smell of sweat all over your body, no wonder no one comes to propose marriage."
"Young master of the county?"
Bai Ling rolled his eyes and guessed who Bai Xue was talking about.
Looking at the beautiful white snow with blooming flowers, Bai Ling couldn't help but feel suspicious in his heart, so he laughed and asked:
"Does the county magistrate know that you were a concubine for someone else and even had a child aborted?"
Bai Xue's face was already made up, so it looked even more frighteningly white.
That past is what Bai Xue least wants to think of, and it is the biggest shame in her life.
Being able to climb into the county prime minister's family, Bai Xue thought that she could finally suppress Bai Ling, but now she is afraid.
"If you dare to go out and talk nonsense, I will cut out your tongue!" Bai Xue said viciously.
"There are so many people who know this, do you need me to tell you? You'd better pray that the county magistrate never knows the truth, otherwise..."
Bai Ling clicked his tongue and shook his head, looking at Bai Xue with pity.
"Just take care of yourself. As long as you don't provoke me, I don't care who you marry. Bai Xue, you are just a stranger to me. I don't have to do anything specifically for you."
After Bai Ling finished speaking, he walked towards home. He has been going to the mountains non-stop for the past few days. It's really tiring, okay?
"Bai Ling!"
Bai Xue clenched her fists, shouted, and said angrily:
"Are you jealous of me for marrying you? No matter how much money you make, you still can't stand on the stage. No man from a good family will like you. Just wait to be an old girl for the rest of your life!"
Bai Ling paused, then turned back to look at Bai Xue, who looked proud, and the pity in his eyes became even stronger.
"I have to tell you one thing. If a person has a brain problem, even money can't cure it."
Bai Ling pointed to his head and sneered:
"I can buy whatever I want. My parents love me and won't sell me off again and again. But what about you? Apart from lying under a man and exchanging for a few things, what else do you have? Your father
If mother can sell you once, she will sell you a second time and a third time."
"To be honest, you are not as good as those kiln sisters. At least they can live their lives openly and earn more money than you. They will still have the opportunity to do good things in the future, but what do you, Baixue, have?"
Bai Ling was not happy, so naturally he spoke mercilessly, and specifically picked out Bai Xue's sore spots and poked them.
There is no other way, someone comes to the door asking for torture, Bai Ling will definitely fulfill it. (To be continued)
