Confiscated and exiled, the down-and-out general became the queen
Chapter 12: Sky-high Price of Steamed Buns
The official looked at this group of people who could not see the situation clearly and shouted, "If you want to eat white flour buns, you can. They are one tael of silver each. Go buy them there.
This is the only free food. If you don’t want to eat it, we will take it away.
The next time will be at night.”
This officer spoke fairly well and didn't say anything unpleasant, but the other officer was not so easy to talk to.
"A bunch of prisoners, yet they still dare to complain about this and that. They are really tired of living."
After saying that, he pulled out the whip from his waist and whipped the person in front of him hard.
The cries of pain and pleas for mercy echoed throughout the mountains, making everyone realize that they were prisoners.
If the prisoners were disobedient, the officers could beat them at will, and they would not be held responsible even if they beat them to death.
Xiao Lengyue knew that this was a warning to others. When she saw that Old Lady Song was about to get up, she quickly grabbed her, shook her head, and signaled her not to move.
The leading officer saw that it was almost time, so he shouted, "Okay, hurry up if you want steamed buns, or we'll take them away if you don't want them."
As soon as these words were spoken, those families with less money lined up near the black steamed buns.
Those who had some money went to the place selling white flour buns.
Old Madam Song wanted to go to Hei Mantou, but Xiao Lengyue pulled her back, "Mom, I'll go."
Xiao Lengyue went directly to the white flour buns. As soon as she went over there, everyone stepped back in fear.
Seeing this, Xiao Lengyue frowned slightly, and seeing them like that, she stepped back a few steps and said, "You go first."
Queuing is a virtue, which is something we have been taught since kindergarten. She would never cut in line.
When the others saw that Xiao Lengyue didn't come forward, they quickly took the silver and the steamed buns and left.
When it was Xiao Lengyue's turn, the official selling steamed buns trembled and said, "How many... do you want?"
"5."
Xiao Lengyue threw five taels of silver to the official, then took the steamed bun and left.
When the leading officer saw this scene, a strange emotion flashed in his eyes, but he quickly hid it.
Xiao Lengyue gave each of them a steamed bun, and then there was one left, so she gave it to Song Tianrui.
"We'll eat this in the car later."
Song Tianrui was about to refuse, but when he looked up, he saw Xiao Lengyue's eyes, then nodded, "Thank you, auntie."
Mrs. Song wanted to speak, but was pinched by her son. She looked at her son suspiciously, and then met his cunning eyes.
Well, the mother knew it. Mrs. Song looked up expressionlessly and started eating.
Xiao Lengyue watched them interacting with each other and found it very interesting.
She was eating the steamed buns, and seeing that Old Lady Song didn't eat them, she thought that she was stingy with the money, so she said:
"Mom, eat quickly, I have money and can't finish it."
Old Mrs. Song nodded and just looked at her son with heartache.
After eating, they soon started to hurry on their way again. Song Tianrui sat in the car, rubbed his eyes, and murmured, "Mom, I'm sleepy."
Seeing this, Sister Song touched the top of his head and said softly, "You sleep next to your uncle."
Song Tianrui nodded obediently, then lay down next to Song Ye.
Mrs. Song looked at her son lying pitifully on the wooden board and wanted to take off her coat to cover him, but was stopped by Xiao Lengyue.
"Go buy a quilt from the official. Song Ye can also use it." After she said that, she handed the purse to Mrs. Song.
Mrs. Song glanced at Old Lady Song, and when she saw her nod, she told the official beside her about her request.
The officer glanced at Xiao Lengyue, nodded, and took Mrs. Song to the mule cart carrying supplies.
After a while, he came back with a quilt.
Song Tianrui was the youngest among these people, so the officer didn't say anything and pretended not to see anything.
When Xiao Lengyue saw that the eyes staring at her did not fluctuate, the corners of her mouth curled up.
It seems that those people chose to turn a blind eye and did not take Tianrui seriously.
Song Ye, who was lying on the wooden bed, had just felt the warmth when he smelled the smell of buns.
Song Tianrui closed his eyes and whispered, "Uncle, eat quickly, aunt bought it."
When Song Ye heard this, he slowly opened his mouth and began to chew slowly.
Xiao Lengyue had already adjusted the position when she put Song Ye in the car.
From this angle, even the officers around him couldn't tell that he was eating, let alone those people in the distance.
Seeing how well behaved Song Tianrui was, Old Mrs. Song was a little puzzled. She walked a little closer and found that her little grandson was quietly feeding his uncle with his eyes closed.
When she saw this, a hint of relief flashed in her eyes, and she also looked at Xiao Lengyue who was pushing the cart.
There were tears in Mrs. Song's eyes. She was afraid of being seen, so she quickly turned her head and looked into the distance.
I thought, how could the Song family deserve such a good daughter-in-law for nothing?
If it weren't for Xiao Lengyue, she didn't know how she and her eldest daughter-in-law would have been able to safely send her family to the place of exile.
Old Mrs. Song looked at the figure walking slightly in front of her, and as she looked at her, she actually felt that she was glowing.
At this time, Xiao Lengyue had completely lived in Old Lady Song's heart. From then on, she firmly believed in Xiao Lengyue, completely making up for her lack of family affection.
Xiao Lengyue never thought that it was at this moment that she moved into Old Lady Song's heart.
It was not until many years later, when Xiao Lengyue asked about it, that Old Lady Song told her the truth.
Old Madam Song quickly caught up with Xiao Lengyue and said worriedly, "Xiaoyue, mother is here to change you."
Xiao Lengyue shook her head, "No, I still have strength. When I get tired, you can let me rest for a while."
After she finished speaking, she looked at Sister-in-law Song beside her and said, "Sister-in-law, you should also take a rest. I can push it myself."
Mrs. Song shook her head. Although she was not very strong, her son was also lying on the wooden cart and she could not just ignore it.
At this moment, she actually wanted to thank that ungrateful bastard Chen Bing. If he hadn't found this sister-in-law, she and her mother-in-law would be the ones pushing the cart now.
Based on their physical strength, they would probably be beaten half to death by the officers behind them.
That’s right. If it weren’t for the madman Xiao Lengyue, the officers behind them would definitely beat them.
They walked too slowly and were about 7-8 meters away from the people in front.
The family in front of the Song family was in a miserable situation. If they were even a little bit away from the people in front of them, they would be beaten by the officers.
One of the women was hit on the back. She was wearing light-colored clothes, and soon a blood mark appeared on her back.
The woman turned her head and glanced at Xiao Lengyue, her eyes filled with hatred.
Xiao Lengyue noticed it, but ignored her and continued pushing the cart. She was thinking, how should she tell Sister Song without upsetting her?
She felt that she was helping, but Xiao Lengyue had to slow down because he had to take care of her pace, which made her even more tired.
