I have a mall space system, raise the baby first and then fight

Shen Lianxin grabbed Xiaohui and blocked her behind her. Gu Chengan looked at Shen Lianxin for help, "Mom, if Xiaohui is taken back, she will be sold."

Shen Lianxin gave him a reassuring look, "Aunt Ma, your Xiaohui has been sold. I bought her back from a human trafficker. Her indenture is with me."

As he said this, he took out Xiaohui's indenture, showed it to her, and then put it back.

"See? Xiaohui is now from my Shen family and has nothing to do with your Ma family. Don't come to see her again, or I will report her to the police."

Aunt Ma was shocked. She only knew that Shen Lianxin brought both children back and thought she could sell them for money again. However, she didn't expect that Shen Lianxin bought them. Xiaohui's indenture was in her hands, so she was a servant she bought legally and she had no right to take her away.

"You bought Xiaohui?" Aunt Ma was surprised. Shen Lianxin really had so much money. If she had known earlier, she would have married Xiaohui to the Shen family and asked for more gifts. In this way, she could use Xiaohui's name to get more money in the future.

Everyone in the village knows that Gu Cheng'an treats Xiaohui well. He even went to court with human traffickers for this girl. Even if she asks for more dowry, Shen Lianxin will definitely agree. Aunt Ma is regretting her decision so much now.

I've calculated everything, but I still haven't figured it out.

Now I can only leave in disappointment.

When she left, she did not forget to squeeze out two tears for Xiao Hui, "Xiao Hui, don't blame me for being cruel. I have no choice. My younger brother at home needs to eat. If I had any other way, I would not sell you. I hope you can find a way to make a living when you go out. Do you understand?"

Xiaohui felt bad, but she was not stupid. She had not forgotten how he treated her. How could he deceive her with just a few words? Xiaohui instinctively took two steps back.

Aunt Ma stopped pretending and said, "You blame me. I know that a stepmother is not a mother after all, but your brother is your biological brother. Even if the bones are broken, the tendons are still connected. If you become rich, you can't just ignore him!"

Xiao Hui lowered her head and pursed her lips, not looking at her. Gu Chengan took a step forward and stood between them. "My mother said that Xiao Hui will belong to my family from now on, and has nothing to do with you. Hurry and leave."

Seeing this, Zhaocai pushed the person out, retreated to the door and closed it.

Gu Chengan wiped Xiaohui's tears and said, "Don't cry. You will be here from now on and no one will bully you anymore."

Xiaohui's family is really the best. Shen Lianxin felt tired and went into the house to sleep early.

The 20-day vacation passed in a blink of an eye.

The villagers were having a hard time, so Shen Lianxin asked Zhaocai to set up a big pot at the entrance of the village every day to cook some porridge and vegetable paste for those who couldn't make ends meet.

When the head of the village found out, he organized the villagers to help and called on those who had surplus food at home to donate some so that the villagers could overcome this difficult time together.

Shen Lianxin naturally contributed a lot of grain and handed the matter over to the village head.

The weather is getting colder. Although Shen Lianxin can buy things directly from the space mall, it is not convenient to take them out suddenly since she does not go out all the time.

The three boys were going back to the academy, so Shen Lianxin just happened to send them back to Yuncheng together.

She felt relieved to have Shen Zhaodi at home. After nearly a month of recuperation, Shen Zhaodi was in great health. People from the countryside are strong and have no problem working and taking care of children.

Zhaocai drove the carriage back to Yuncheng.

At the gate of Baichuan Academy, "Go." Shen Lianxin prepared a bag for everyone, which contained some spare clothes and pastries.

The three of them were reluctant to leave, but they no longer had the initial immaturity and nervousness.

They hugged Shen Lianxin and said goodbye to each of them. Shen Lianxin gave each of them 10 taels of silver for pocket money.

The streets were crowded with people pushing and shoving, and many refugees poured into Yuncheng. The government increased patrols, but there were still many thefts and robberies.

"Madam, please be kind and give me something to eat!!!" A half-grown child came to Shen Lianxin to beg for food.

Shen Lianxin took out a copper coin and threw it into the child's broken bowl. The beggar knelt down and kowtowed.

Shen Lianxin looked at Gu Chengxin and the other two, "The city is in chaos, you guys go in quickly and try not to leave the academy."

Gu Chengxin nodded and quickly pulled Gu Chengan and Gu Chengjing into the academy.

Only when they could no longer see anyone did Shen Lianxin and Zhaocai get on the carriage and head straight for Shen’s BBQ.

At the entrance of Shen's BBQ, Zhang Changfeng and his brothers were maintaining order.

"Go away, go away, don't beg here."

"Go, go, stop blocking the door."

"Go to the side to get the porridge and let me pass by the door."

As soon as Shen Lianxin got out of the car, Zhang Changfeng recognized her, "Hey, Madam Shen! You're here!"

"Why are you here?" Shen Lianxin was puzzled.

"Well, the city has been in turmoil lately, and we brothers are afraid that something might happen to Shen's BBQ, so we are here to maintain order."

Many big stores in the city also employ their own thugs for fear of trouble. Shen Lianxin did not expect that Zhang Changfeng would be loyal enough to bring people to protect her store.

When he entered the store, Uncle Zhang came out to greet him immediately, "The boss is here."

"Uncle Zhang, how are you doing recently?"

Zhang Bo stroked his beard and walked away with Shen Lianxin. "Our store is doing good business. It has always been booming. Two barbecue restaurants opened in the city and wanted to imitate us, but their business was not as good as ours. After comparing, many diners recognized our taste better."

Shen Lianxin nodded. When a new store becomes popular, everyone will naturally follow suit. But many things in Shen Lianxin's store are not available in this dynasty, so they naturally cannot compete.

"Boss, there are more and more refugees pouring into Yuncheng recently, and many vicious incidents have occurred in the city. Please be more careful when you go out!"

"When I came here, I saw a lot more beggars on the street. Any news?"

Zhang Bo sighed, "Northern Xinjiang lost three cities in a row. The King of Zhenbei personally went to the battlefield to boost morale and stabilize the situation. I heard that the battle at the border was fierce and the King of Zhenbei suffered heavy casualties. If they can't resist, I'm afraid it's only a matter of time before they attack our Yuncheng!"

When Shen Lianxin came to this world, she seldom cared about these major events. Her entire attention was on her own small family and several children. However, living in this dynasty, she could not escape the changing situation even if she wanted to.

"Didn't the court send reinforcements?"

"For some reason, the imperial court's reinforcements have not arrived yet, and even the food and fodder have not been delivered. The day before yesterday, a storyteller came to the inn and told a true story. He said that our soldiers in the northern border were short of food and clothing, and they were fighting on an empty stomach. The battle was brutal, with countless casualties. Many young soldiers fought the Hu people with their bare hands, and built a wall with their flesh and blood, which stopped the Hu people's advance and allowed these refugees to escape."

As Zhang Bo spoke, he couldn't help but shed tears.
