Traveling through ancient times to survive

Zhao Lan had happily fallen asleep at her second uncle's house. Mrs. Zhao thought it was about time and would definitely teach her daughter a profound lesson this time. She got up and walked to the front door and asked loudly, "Er Ya, do you know you are wrong?"

There was silence outside the door, no one answered. Mrs. Zhao opened the door and cursed: "You stubborn girl! I can't stop you. Don't even think about coming in tonight..."

There was no one outside the gate. Mrs. Zhao was shocked and then furious: "If you are capable, you should live in the Hu family for the rest of your life!"

Mrs. Zhao angrily closed the door and went back to her room. Sun Xiaocao opened her eyes and asked, "Where is Erya?"

"She must have gone to her sister!"

"Okay, let her go wherever she wants. Stop making noise and go to sleep." Zhao Yuanmu was very annoyed.

Early the next morning, Zhao Lan went to her sister's house and borrowed two empty bags.

Now her farm has reached level 6, and she has unlocked six kinds of food: wheat, corn, peanuts, tomatoes, potatoes, and rice. The mall has also unlocked four kinds of warm supplies: hot packs, down jackets, woolen clothes, and thermal underwear.

Zhao Lan bought three sets of thermal underwear, one set for her cousin, one set for her eldest sister, and one set for herself. While taking the empty bag, she also left the thermal underwear for her eldest sister.

Zhao Lan went to a deserted place near Zhao Qing's home and took out the food from the farm, a bag of peanuts and a bag of rice. She dragged them to the door with all her might.

"Lan Ya, what are you dragging? Put it there, let your uncle help you." Zhao Chengchuan quickly took the bag from his niece.

"Uncle, here are two bags of food, one bag of rice and one bag of peanuts. Can I stay at your house for a few more days?"

Zhao Lan blinked and looked at her second uncle pleadingly.

"You took the food from home? Do your parents know?"

Zhao Chengchuan was shocked. He put down the bag and opened it to see that it was indeed two full bags of food.

"No, Second Uncle, there's no way my parents would be willing to give me food. I borrowed it from my eldest sister."

"Hurry up and return it. Don't make things difficult for your sister. Just live peacefully in Second Uncle's house. No one needs you to provide food."

It is estimated that we will not be able to plant crops this year, and we will not be able to buy food even with money in the future. The children do not understand, and he cannot just pretend not to know and accept the food. Wouldn't this create conflicts between Hong Ya and her husband's family?

"It's okay, second uncle, you keep it. The Hu family doesn't mind. If you don't believe me, ask cousin Qing!" Zhao Lan couldn't think of a reason to fool them, so she had to bring up Zhao Qing.

"Qingya, come here!" Zhao Chengchuan called her out and asked, "Qingya, Lan Ya said she borrowed two bags of grain from the Hu family and brought them to our family. She also said the Hu family would not be dissatisfied. Do you know what's going on?"

Zhao Qing looked at Zhao Lan, and Zhao Lan gave Zhao Qing a guiltily smile.

"Dad, it's okay. If Lan Ya wants to give it to you, just keep it. If there are any problems with the Hu family, I will solve them."

Zhao Chengchuan had no choice but to carry the food back to the house, muttering to himself.

"No, the Hu family is so secretive, and they still have food to lend to their 13-year-old sister-in-law? Aren't they afraid that they won't get it back?"

"What are you mumbling about?"

Wang Mei saw Zhao Chengchuan carrying a bag, walked up to take the bag and asked.

"Nothing. Lan Ya brought two bags of food and said she wanted to stay at our house for a few more days." Zhao Chengchuan replied.

"Ah? What's going on? Why are you going to live in our house?" Wang Mei stopped in surprise.

"Hey, what else can it be? You know what kind of people my elder brother and his wife are. Hongya got married and there was no one at home to protect Lanya. The child must have been scared and ran to the Hu family to borrow two bags of grain and wanted to come to our house."

"This..." Wang Mei hesitated. She didn't know how long she would stay here. Not to mention other issues, just her sister-in-law would definitely make trouble.

"Mei Niang, that child is really pitiful. She is also a polite person. If you insist on giving her food, let her stay in our house for a few days. It's not for free. Let me think of a solution." Seeing that Wang Mei was not very willing, Zhao Chengchuan tried to persuade her kindly.

"I'm not saying she's eating and drinking for free, I'm just afraid that my sister-in-law will come over and cause trouble."

Wang Mei was mainly worried about her unreasonable sister-in-law. She had finally lived a peaceful life for more than half a year, and she didn't want to go back to the past, when she was always troubled by her sister-in-law.

"I don't think my sister-in-law will come here to make trouble. You know how she likes to take advantage of others. She would be so happy if someone helps her raise her daughter for free." Zhao Chengchuan has a different opinion.

"Hey, you make sense."

"Then let her stay for a few days?"

"That's it for now."

Zhao Lan outside the house smiled at Zhao Qing flatteringly: "Sister, I have something good to give you, guess what it is?"

"I don't guess." Zhao Qing said expressionlessly.

Zhao Lan took out a set of thermal underwear from her winter clothes and handed it to Zhao Qing.

"Sister, look! This is thermal underwear, thin and warm, the effect is very good, I put on a set, I don't feel cold at all, there are only three sets in the world, sister, are you sure you don't want to try it?"

"What else have you unlocked in your store?"

"Now I only have hot packs, down jackets, and woolen clothes. I guess they are afraid that I will freeze to death, so they are all warm supplies."

Zhao Lan's hand felt sore from handing over the clothes, so she motioned to Zhao Qing to take it. Zhao Qing took the clothes from her hand and found them to be very light indeed, but she didn't know whether the warmth-retaining effect was exaggerated.

"Well, if you don't want to go home, just stay here and don't take out food. It's easy to be exposed."

"Oh!" Zhao Lan's eyes welled up with tears, and she finally felt relieved.

No one knows how scared she was when she was locked outside the door last night. She was afraid of being homeless and freezing to death in the cold night.

Because that was her original body's home, not hers, she didn't even dare to make a scene with a clear conscience, so she had to shamelessly ask the military sister for help. It's not that she didn't understand how annoying it was to eat and drink for free at someone else's home these days, but she had no other choice. The only person in this world who knew all her details was the military sister who came from the same place as her.

Zhao Lan stayed at Zhao Qing's house for several days and didn't go back. As expected, no one from the old house came to look for her.

Zhao Lan used her shameless skills and spoke sweet words without paying any attention. She soon became friends with Zhao Qing's family, and even Wang Mei smiled when she saw her.

"This child is so sweet-talker, totally different from the way he used to be when he kept his head down and said nothing." Wang Mei sighed to Zhao Chengchuan.

"Adversity makes people grow up. Her sister is married. If she continues to be like before, she will be bullied to death."

"Have you thought of a solution? No matter how likable Lan Ya is, we can only let her stay for a few more days. We can't support her for nothing until she gets married, right?"

Wang Mei changed the subject and said that no matter how sensible she was, she was not willing to raise her daughter for nothing to someone else, especially the person she hated the most.

"Not yet. Don't rush me. It can't be that fast. Let me think about it." Zhao Chengchuan had no other choice but to delay it for as long as possible.

"Well, since the child calls me Second Aunt, I won't take advantage of her. I'll give her two bags of food to eat alone, and let her go after she finishes eating."

Zhao Chengchuan nodded. He knew that his wife was still soft-hearted, otherwise she would not agree to such a thankless task.
