Chapter 79： Worry not about scarcity but about inequality

Chapter 79 Don’t worry about scarcity but inequality

The four carrot heads hurriedly carried their own bowls, chopsticks and other dishes, helped clear the stools and entered the house together.

“Mom, why do we have to eat in the main room? Isn’t it cooler outside?” Bai Zhuye was a little confused.

Even though it was noon, there was shade under the jujube trees outside, and occasionally a bit of wind blew through, but it was much cooler than inside the house.

“I think she’s afraid that Aunt Feng will look at her and talk about us.” Bai Lixia replied.

"It's not just you Aunt Feng, there are others." Su Mulan rearranged the dishes and explained, "We usually eat bran-thick vegetables, and when others look at them, they just shake their heads and sigh. I feel like our family is really living in poverty.”

"But now we are suddenly eating white rice, sweet and sour pork tenderloin, and braised pork. These are things that others cannot eat every day. Others should start to murmur in their hearts, wondering why we are living so well and worrying about us. Where did we get the money?”

“If you think about it, if every pair of eyes is staring at us, there will be a lot of trouble…”

This world has always been concerned not with scarcity but with inequality.

We all live in the village and eat bran-thick vegetables, and everything is fine. But if one day, some of the bran-thickness eaters start eating white flour steamed buns, the bran-thickness eaters should be anxious.

If anxiety turns into motivation and is positive, everything is easy to say, but if this anxiety turns into darkness, it is uncertain.

Hide wealth is an old saying and a rule of thumb.

“Mother is right.”

Bai Shuiliu nodded, remembering what happened to Mrs. Sun in the morning, and said, "Mom, when you went to the market, Aunt Sun was hanging around our door. She said she was going to pick vegetables in the vegetable field, and she also said something about our vegetable field. I saw her talking on her face and couldn't stop looking at our dried sweet potatoes. I guess she was trying to learn it secretly by watching our dried sweet potatoes make money."

“It seems that I will really have to worry about it in the future.”

Su Mulan looked at the four carrot heads and warned, "In the future, if others ask how our family cooks food and want to deceive you, please be careful and don't tell anyone."

"Don't worry, mother, we won't tell you." Bai Shuiliu and others nodded in unison.

“What if someone peeks outside our door like Auntie Sun?” Bai Lixia asked very worriedly.

“If it were outside the door, we probably wouldn’t be able to stop it.”

Su Mulan said, "But we don't have to stop her. If we do, she might even beat us up and say that we have a bad mind and that no one is serious. Instead, we will be discredited."

"Anyway, she was just peeking and didn't know how we made dried sweet potatoes. We steamed and dried dried sweet potatoes three times, but she didn't know. She couldn't figure out how to make dried sweet potatoes. of."

“When we have more money in the future, we can hire someone to repair the yard, raise the walls, and keep out those who are interested. This will save us a lot of trouble.”

“Yeah.” The four carrot heads nodded again.

“Okay, let’s eat quickly. If the sweet and sour pork is cold, it won’t taste good.” Su Mulan smiled and put some vegetables for each of the four children.

"Mom, eat it too." When the four children saw this, they immediately used their chopsticks, each picked up a large piece, and put it into Sumulan's bowl in unison.
