I started as an exile, and I relied on space to support my family of loyal heroes.

"Is this -- is my eyes blurry?"

The second sister-in-law stared with her eyes wide open, a look of disbelief on her face.

What happened in such a short while?

She didn't think anyone had come in?

The eldest sister-in-law raised her eyelids, looked at Xiao Yunzhan, and then looked at Old Madam Xiao.

She pursed her lips and had a rough idea in her mind.

The one who was able to deliver the things so quickly must be a noble family in the capital that has close ties with their Xiao family.

Fourth brother’s confidants are too far away and can’t get here so quickly.

The third sister-in-law took a deep breath.

"Second sister-in-law, it's not your eyes that are blurring out. I saw it too."

This was the first time in her life that she felt greedy for steamed buns.

I just don't know who brought these things in.

It seems that my mother and fourth brother should know it very well.

Madam Xiao waved her hand and said softly, "Don't talk, don't ask, sit down quickly, move gently, don't wake those people up."

The three sisters-in-law looked at each other and quickly sat around Old Man Xiao.

If you don’t want to ask, then don’t ask. You will know it later. It’s not a big deal to waste some time.

We should quickly destroy the physical evidence to avoid being discovered by the officials and wasting other people’s kindness.

At this time, Lin Yiran also came over with two children in her arms and put the two children in their respective mothers' arms.

After all this trouble, Xiao Lingyan and Xiao Linghui were also awakened.

They trembled their eyelids, half-opened their eyes, and snuggled in their mother's arms.

Madam Xiao looked at the number of steamed buns and stuffed one into each person's hand.

"Eat quickly."

Then she gave one of the bowls of porridge to Xiao Yunzhan, and placed the other two bowls of porridge among the women and children. Everyone took turns drinking when they were thirsty.

When Xiao Lingyan and Xiao Linghui saw the steamed buns, their eyes immediately opened wide, without any sign of sleepiness at all.

Seeing Old Madam Xiao eating the steamed buns in big mouthfuls, everyone covered their mouths with their sleeves and quickly stuffed the buns into their mouths.

In less than two minutes, the family finished the steamed buns and rice porridge in their hands.

The stomach that was originally aching suddenly felt much better.

Lin Yiran originally thought that this family would be like on TV, with you giving way to me and I giving way to you, saying touching words to each other, and haggling over each other.

As a result, after everyone got the food, they immediately lowered their heads and started eating quickly.

At this time, even the third sister-in-law, who always behaved like a lady from a noble family, started eating without caring about her image.

It is no exaggeration to say that we are eating against the clock.

Lin Yiran nodded slightly, and admired the Xiao family even more in her heart.

Be clear-headed at critical moments and avoid useless false courtesy.

Who wouldn’t be hungry at that time? Even if there was only one steamed bun, it would be broken into pieces and everyone would take a bite. There was absolutely no thought of sacrificing anyone, and no one needed to eat.

Everyone should eat something so that they can have the strength to continue on their journey and not burden their families.

Lin Yiran drank two mouthfuls of porridge to moisten her throat, and like everyone else, she ate the steamed bun in just a few bites.

I have to say that the steamed buns bought from the system takeout are quite fragrant and have a light sweetness.

At this moment, she completely ignored the disgusting smell in the air.

It tastes delicious.

Sure enough, you still have to endure some effort to make the food taste delicious.

Old Madam Xiao looked at the two remaining steamed buns on the plate, thought for a moment, and stuffed another one into Xiao Yunzhan’s pocket.

Xiao Yunzhan didn't refuse, he took it and started eating.

Only when he is well fed will he have the strength to deal with these officials, and only then will his sisters-in-law have a good life.

Old Madam Xiao frowned and thought for a moment, then divided the remaining steamed bun into eight pieces as evenly as possible.

One of them stuffed a piece into his hand and said, "Eat it all, don't leave any."

Originally, Madam Xiao wanted to save the steamed bun for tomorrow morning.

But when she glanced at Old Madam Niu who was sleeping soundly on the ground, she immediately gave up the idea.

If Madam Niu sees us eating tomorrow morning, she will definitely shout something out because of her noisy personality.

There will be trouble at that time, so it is safer to eat it directly.

Everyone was stunned for a moment, but didn't ask any more questions and just stuffed the food into their mouths and ate it.

"Okay, go to bed quickly and be gentle."

After everyone finished eating, Old Madam Xiao waved her hand and signaled everyone to find a place to sleep.

The sisters-in-law nodded, got up silently and walked to the corner.

After a whole day of walking, my legs felt like they were not my own. When I stood up after a rest, I felt sore all over.

Now that I’ve eaten and my stomach feels better, I can’t help but start to feel sleepy.

Lin Yiran huddled together with her three sisters-in-law, leaning against the dirty wall, closing her eyes and falling asleep.

Although the walls look dirty, they are much better than the floor.

But there were mosquitoes flying everywhere in the cell, making it impossible for Lin Yiran to sleep.

She pretended to close her eyes and listened to the conversation between Xiao Yunzhan and his mother with her ears perked up.

After watching her daughters-in-law go to bed, Old Madam Xiao turned to look at Xiao Yunzhan.

"What about these bowls and plates?"

If we keep this thing it will definitely be discovered tomorrow morning.

Xiao Yunzhan frowned slightly and piled the bowls and plates together.

"Mom, just lie down on the quilt and rest. I will take care of this."

If the gods can give it to us, they can certainly take it away.

Madam Xiao looked at Xiao Yunzhan deeply and nodded slowly.

"Be careful, just wrap it with oil paper next time."

We are already living in a cell, so there is no need to be so particular.

It was too risky to ask his men to make another trip just to get the plates.

Xiao Yunzhan was slightly stunned.

next time?

He doesn't know if there will be a next time.

Besides, no matter if it was the gods or the ancestors of the Xiao family who helped him this time and allowed him to recover, he should find a way out on his own.

There is no reason to always rely on others.

Xiao Yunzhan nodded hesitantly, put the plate aside, and gave the quilt to Madam Xiao.

"Your legs?" Old Madam Xiao frowned and looked at Xiao Yunzhan's knees.

Xiao Yunzhan moved slightly, "It's okay, don't worry, I'm fine now, you can go to bed early, you still have a long way to go tomorrow."

Madam Xiao nodded, let out a long sigh, lay down in a corner of the quilt exhausted, and soon fell asleep.

Xiao Yunzhan looked at Old Madam Xiao who was curled up and sleeping in a corner, his eyes full of guilt.

My mother is old, and it is really not easy for her to hold on for so long.

Xiao Yunzhan looked up at his two nieces who were curled up beside his two sisters-in-law, frowning and sleeping uneasily, and walked over lightly.

He carried his two nieces to the quilt so that they could sleep more comfortably.

After seeing that everyone in the family had fallen asleep, Xiao Yunzhan gently placed the bowls and plates next to the quilt. He lay on the edge of the quilt in the same position as before, looking at the bowls and plates with his head tilted.

He silently said in his heart, "Xiao Yunzhan thanks the immortal for the food he gave me. Please take back the immortal bowl and plate."

Looking at the dirty handprints on the bowls and plates, Xiao Yunzhan added,

"I don't have water to wash the dishes at the moment, please forgive me, gods."

Lin Yiran squinted her eyes and looked at Xiao Yunzhan, who was staring at the dishes.

Suddenly, the green bubble software started flashing again.

But this time there was no hurried sound like last time.

Lin Yiran consciously clicked on the green bubble and found that Xiao Yunzhan’s avatar was flashing again.

"This guy, why is there so much trouble?"

Lin Yiran secretly complained and clicked on Xiao Yunzhan's profile picture.

There was only one line of words on the page: "The meal is over, please collect the tableware."

The four words [Take back the tableware] flickered slightly.
