My whole family time-traveled! I became a god during my exile in a famine.

Chapter 52 Addicted to Showing Off Wife and Daughter

Everyone's gaze followed the tall man, and when they saw him silently go to the fire, they glanced at Xin Nian in silence.

The burly man in the black tower looked rather intimidating; his imposing aura suggested he was not of ordinary origin.

After distributing the lunch, Xiao Jia dawdled over to Xin Nian, awkwardly scratching the back of his head with a smile, "Sixth, Sixth Miss, who is this brother?"

Xin Nian finished tidying up the medicine bottles and stood up, giving him a cool glance. Her tone was unusually soft and gentle. "You want to know?"

Xiao Jia shuddered, his mouth moving faster than his brain, blurting out, "No, no, I don't want to know anything, haha, I don't want to know."

Xin Nian snorted coldly, ignoring Xiao Jia, and then turned to look at Xin Mochen with a warm smile.

The speed at which the face was swapped was astonishing once again.

Seeing that her brother had closed his eyes and fallen asleep, Xin Nian looked at Mu Zhong and said gently, "A Zhong, you can continue to stay by my brother's side and take care of him."

"You've worked hard these past few days. From now on, let that person do all the heavy and tiring work. If my brother needs to get up at night to use the restroom, just have that person carry him. You'll be in charge of this person from now on, so don't hesitate to give him orders. Just let him do the work."

Mu Zhong nodded repeatedly, "It's no trouble at all, Sixth Miss, you flatter me. So, who is that so-and-so, and how should I address him?"

You can't just act like a little girl, ordering someone around...

Xin Nian blinked. "Oh, you can just call him number one."

After saying that, he reached out and patted Mu Zhong on the shoulder, with a "I have high hopes for you" expression. "Work hard with my brother, and I won't treat you badly in the future."

Mu Zhong was somewhat amused and exasperated, and quickly nodded, "Please feel free to ask me anything in the future, Miss."

Xin Nian nodded in satisfaction, returned to Xie Ninglan's side, and turned her eyes away expressionlessly when she met the gaze of little Xin Mohan.

"Daughter, drink this ginger soup while it's hot." Xie Ninglan leaned closer to her daughter and whispered, "Won't those constables try to secretly send messages to the capital?"

“Your father just whispered to me, although we’re not afraid of those officials, we can’t fight against so many people. What if that dog of an emperor really sends people to surround and suppress us? We can’t possibly implicate that widow and her orphan family, can we?”

Xin Nian sneered, "Don't worry, Mother, they don't have the guts."

She opened her palm and pressed a small, button-like object into her mother's ear, and a jumble of sounds came through.

It seemed to be the quarreling and cursing of Liang Guang and his escorts.

Xie Ninglan was startled and quickly raised her hand to brush the hair behind her ear, afraid of attracting attention.

"Don't worry, no one else can hear you except yourself."

This is the latest recording receiver developed by the main base, which is characterized by its small size, exquisite design, and low power consumption.

Every so often, the captured audio is transmitted to the receiver, so Xin Nian only needs to open it and listen to it every now and then, and play it quickly.

This thing is quite precious. It took a long time to develop, and Xin Nian only had five pairs.

The other four pairs were left in the electronic devices area and could not be retrieved.

Fortunately, these items were frequently used in the past and were swept into the household goods section along with other old items; otherwise, it would have been impossible to fully grasp Liang Guang's movements immediately.

Xie Ninglan knew that her daughter had a lot of high-tech gadgets, but in this ancient, desolate cave dwelling, hearing the various noises coming from next door still felt incredibly magical.

Hehe, Liang Guang and his escorts probably never imagined that the girl's threat to hear everything she said was not just a simple intimidation.

“This rain might not stop today or tomorrow.” Xin Nian squeezed Xie Ninglan’s hand. “It’s good that you can rest in the cave for a couple of days. Once the rain stops, I think you’ll be able to walk around on your own.” Xie Ninglan’s eyes lit up. “That’s great. Don’t worry, daughter, I will definitely practice hard and try not to hold our team back.”

"Now it's Dad who's holding us back."

"Oh right, he always dragged me down before, he was so unreliable!" Xie Ninglan whispered to her daughter, raising her eyes to meet the old lady's timid gaze.

Uh, suddenly it feels a bit like elder abuse...

"Girl, look, there's still half a bowl of ginger soup in this little jar. How about we take it to the old lady?"

This small jar only holds enough for three or four bowls. The five members of their family consciously divided it into half a bowl for each person. There wasn't much left, but it was enough for the old lady to drink a few sips to warm herself up.

Xin Nian had no objections; her mother could handle such a small matter herself.

She rummaged through the supply pile, found the remaining few bags of flatbread, took out a small package and picked it up, saying, "I'll go next door and bring some food to Sister Zhao."

Xie Ninglan nodded repeatedly.

These past few days, thanks to that chivalrous Miss Zhao, who has been carrying the old lady back and forth every day, she has truly been a great help to them.

As Xin Nian walked to the entrance of the cave dwelling, she saw Xin Wen'an stride in, grumbling and cursing, "Fourth brother, look at you. I told you to come with me to fetch water, where did you go? You came back after wandering around for ages with only two small jugs of water. Who's going to use that?"

Xin Wenyuan was too lazy to waste words with him. Could he say that he had gone to great lengths to pull Chang Mianmian out and finally managed to get them two cans of clean water?

If it weren't for the two young children, who would be happy to go through all this trouble? The third child doesn't even know what's good for him!
Xin Wenyuan carried two bottles of water inside and came face to face with Xin Nian. He immediately began to drawl:

"My dear girl, the rain outside is pouring down and doesn't seem to be stopping. Where are you going again?"

Xin Wen'an saw Xin Nian standing to the side and immediately fell silent, like a chicken with its neck caught in its throat.

"I'm going next door, I'll be right back."

"Oh, oh." Xin Wenyuan wanted to move the straw mat on his head to his daughter, but then he saw his little girl open an oil-paper umbrella expressionlessly.

The umbrella was actually taken from Yunlin Villa, but her grandmother had given her a whole bunch of supplies. She pretended to rummage through the pile of items and found it, so no one else would know its true origin.

Xin Wenyuan paused as he handed over the straw mat, watching his daughter leave gracefully. He then turned to Xin Wen'an and said, "What are you doing? Come on, let's go inside."

"She has an umbrella!" Xin Wen'an gritted his teeth.

“So what if there’s an umbrella? Isn’t it normal to have an umbrella? My mother-in-law traveled a long way to deliver a cartload of things, she prepared everything perfectly.” Xin Wenyuan said with emotion, “A mother worries about her son even when he is a thousand miles away, this is a real-life example.”

Xin Wen'an almost couldn't catch his breath.

Damn, I had an umbrella but I didn't lend it to them. I told them to use straw mats to cover themselves while they were in the rain.

This straw mat is so flimsy, what can it possibly keep out of a downpour?

He was soaking wet; who could he turn to for justice?

And this fourth brother, he's like a completely different person. He used to be a good-for-nothing, spending his days walking his birds and fighting crickets instead of doing anything productive.

These days, he flaunts his wife and daughter in front of him every day, and even his mother-in-law!
As the two walked past Madam Yu, Xin Wen'an immediately noticed that his mother was holding a half-bowl of ginger soup. "Mother, where did this ginger soup come from?"
