After being rejected, he emptied the mansion and went into exile

The four boys were very excited and very happy.

They don't even care where to find water, what to do with it, or why to look for it.

There is no boy who doesn't like outdoor adventures.

The eldest lady said with some concern: "Jin'er, if it doesn't work, let Dali and the others go? Zhiyong and the others are still children..."

Shen Jinyao stopped Madam Shen who was about to speak and said to the eldest lady, "Aunt, the road ahead will be dangerous. Without the ability to protect yourself, you will definitely not survive."

"Will we tolerate natural disasters and man-made calamities just because they are children?"

"Da Li is only one year older than Zhi Yong, but Zhang Er is even younger than Zhi Yong. We all need to survive."

The first lady wanted to say something, but she heard the third lady say, "Sister-in-law, let's just listen to Jin'er. Times are different now."

Mrs. Shen also said: "Yes, and it is good to exercise more."

If we talk about heartache, she should be the one who feels the most distressed.

My daughter has to be in charge and take the lead in everything. These people not only don't say a word of goodwill, but also obstruct her at every turn.

The first lady looked at Mrs. Shen and the third lady, and finally could only nod.

"Da Li, you and Zhang Er stay here. If you feel anything is wrong, leave immediately. Leave this symbol on the road when you leave."

As Shen Jinyao spoke, she drew an image on the ground with a branch.

There is a large triangle on top with a small triangle inside.

Although Zhang Er was not well educated, he had a quick mind and learned it at a glance.

Shen Jinyao gave Zhang Er a thumbs up in approval.

Zhang Er scratched his head embarrassedly.

The others watched, secretly competing with each other to perform well.

"Besides keeping an eye on it, we also need to collect some branches. We'll use them to boil water and then take them with us on the road after they're done and cool down."

Dali asked, "Miss, can't we just take the water away with us?"

Shen Jinyao shook her head firmly, "No, boil the water before drinking it so you won't get sick."

He nodded vigorously in understanding.

"Qiuyan Dongmei, the five of you go find some food nearby. Remember not to pick mushrooms, just some wild fruits."

The five maids said in unison: "Yes, Miss."

"Oh, by the way, from now on, call me Master Jin or Master Huo. We don't have any young ladies in our family."

"Yes, son."

Le Yao looked around, waiting for Shen Jinyao to assign her some work, but after waiting for a long time it was still not her turn.

She asked dissatisfiedly: "Sister, oh no, brother, what should I do?"

Everyone was amused by Shen Leyao's words, and Shen Jinyao also laughed out loud.

She said, "Haha, you have more important things to do today."

Shen Leyao: "Wow, big sister, what's going on?"

"Now you and your second sister need to divide our food among everyone. Remember to give everyone the same amount."

Shen Tingyao asked: "Ah? Do you want me to share?"

Shen Jinyao asked back, "Do you want to find water, or do you want to find food and firewood?"

Shen Tingyao shook her head firmly, "Then I'll share the food."

The Third Lady also smiled and asked, "Master Jin, what about us?"

"Aunt San, take Grandma and the others for a walk around the area."

The Third Lady: "Is it that simple?"

Shen Jinyao smiled and said, "Aunt San, don't forget the ages of my grandmother, my aunt, and my mother."

The Third Madam smiled and shook her head. "Yeah, I forgot about that. So my job is the hardest?"

Old Madam Shen laughed and scolded, "We haven't despised you for changing your career lately, but you despise us."

The Third Madam: "Hey, listen to what the old lady says. Okay, let's practice tomorrow, Tingyao, and you guys should follow along."

At this time, Shen Tingyao and Shen Leyao were distributing food equally to everyone under the supervision of Shen Jinyao.

Shen Tingyao: "Aunt, I'm sharing the food, wait a moment."

At first, Shen Tingyao thought this job was quite boring, and she had to share the food with everyone.

I didn't expect it to be so fun to do.

"Thank you, Second Miss."

"The Second Miss is so nice."

"The second young lady is beautiful and kind-hearted."

……

"Second sister, I'm tired..."

It turned out that Shen Tingyao had been dividing the things in the front, while Shen Leyao was dragging the bag behind.

One expression gradually became happy, and the other's face was full of smiles.

Shen Tingyao: "Please hold on a little longer."

Shen Leyao was unhappy: "Second sister, it's your turn. The eldest sister said that we all have to work."

Shen Tingyao wanted to cheat, but she saw Shen Jinyao and the adults of the Shen family not far away, looking at her.

She blushed a little. It was indeed not a good idea to bully a child.

Shen Tingyao: "Okay, sister will help you."

Shen Leyao: ...

After the food is distributed here, everyone starts to eat.

After a few bites of food, Shen Jinyao said, "We need to keep watch. We have eight men in total."

"Two in a group, every two hours."

"The first group is Shen Wei and Zhi Yong, the second group is Zhi Xue and Zhi Xin, the third group is Zhi Ye and Da Li, and the fourth group is Zhang Er and Steward Sun."

The last group is to arrange for Butler Sun and Zhang Er to stay, so that they can take a break.

"Yes, Miss."

"Now Shen Wei, take Zhiyong and the other four to find some firewood nearby. We need to light a fire after dark."

"Yes, Miss."

"Madame Li, take Qiuyan to the carriage and get something to put underneath. There shouldn't be much. I'll buy some tomorrow."

Matron Li: "Yes, Miss."

"Dongmei, you guys should clean up the temple. Don't throw away the hay here. See if you can make a fire later, or make a straw mat to sit on."

Dongmei: "Yes, Miss."

After Shen Jinyao finished making the arrangements, everyone got busy.

Even the eldest lady joined in collecting hay in the temple.

Old Madam Shen looked at how orderly Shen Jinyao's arrangements were, and saw that she had a clear mind, was organized, and not at all chaotic.

It seems that she did not choose the wrong person.

"grandmother?"

Shen Jinyao saw that Old Madam Shen was looking at her, so she walked closer and called out.

Old Madam Shen looked at Shen Jinyao and asked softly, "Jin'er, do you blame grandma?"

Shen Jinyao: "Grandma, do you want to hear the truth?"

Old Madam Shen nodded.

Shen Jinyao said truthfully: "I do have resentment."

Taking over the Shen family now would undoubtedly be a mess.

Old Madam Shen didn't expect that Shen Jinyao would be so honest.

She wanted to explain, but her eldest granddaughter continued, "But grandma, do you have a better choice?"

Madam Shen also said truthfully: "No."

"If you want to blame someone, blame me..."

Shen Jinyao interrupted Madam Shen's sadness and said, "Since there is nothing, then there is no question of whether I should blame you or not. Just consider it as something I owe to the Shen family."

Old Madam Shen was a little confused. She wanted to ask more questions, but Shen Jinyao held her arms and acted coquettishly.

She heard Shen Jinyao say: "So, grandma, don't worry about me being wronged. With your support, I can do it."

Old Madam Shen touched Shen Jinyao's head and said nothing.
