Bingyi said nothing and looked at Xiao Yanxi.

Xie Fanjin said slowly: "Then it depends on your sincerity."

Wang Tiezhu's face became even uglier, but he was also afraid of Xie Fanjin and Bingyi, master and servant. Bingyi and Xiao Yanxi were strong in martial arts and could take half your life with one punch. Xie Fanjin knew medicine and might even be able to poison you.

So Wang Tiezhu decided to try not to offend Xiao Yanxi and his group.

Last night, he wrote a letter to the capital, explaining the situation here. If he couldn't deal with Xiao Yanxi and his servant, someone else would.

When the time comes, he will just have to collect the bodies of these people.

Wang Tiezhu collected his thoughts and took a look at their inventory, and actually picked out quite a few things.

Either it has been there for too long and is about to go bad, or they have already eaten enough and don’t want to take another look at it.

Xie Fanjin was quite satisfied as Wang Tiezhu finally got a whole badger.

Qin Zhenzhen swallowed her saliva and said, "What's so delicious about bacon and cured meat? They're almost stinking."

Badger meat is still the best, delicious and fresh.

As Jin packed up her things, she said, "Although badger meat is delicious, it's only enough for two meals at most. Besides, it's too hot and we don't have salt, so it might go bad overnight. But the bacon and salted pork they gave us can be kept for a while, so we can eat them for a long time."

Xie Fanjin said, "Today, let's have bacon and stir-fried wild vegetables, and some corn and flour pancakes. I think there's an egg, too, so we can have some wild vegetable egg drop soup."

Qin Zhenzhen was happy to hear this and actually went to help.

The Chen family started arguing again because there was nothing to eat for dinner.

The cakes and pastries that they brought with them were all eaten up in the past two days. Old Madam Chen wanted to eat something better, but the first and second wives were unwilling to pay.

Finally, Old Madam Chen yelled, "Stop arguing! No one should eat! Just starve!"

Mrs. Chen Er touched her belly, which was pressed against her back, and her eyes fell on Mrs. Chen San, who was making medicine for Chen Xinyan. "Sister-in-law, our first and second wives have been paying for the past two days. You and Yan'er have also eaten a lot. It's your turn to pay anyway."

Chen Xinyan coughed, still weakly: "Second Aunt, my mother and I only got a bowl of soup from the stewed fish, and we didn't even get half of the buns."

Madam Chen Er glared at her, "What do you mean? You think we're bullying your Third Branch? Your grandparents are old, they should eat more to nourish their bodies. Do you still want them to squeeze out some food from their teeth to fill your stomachs?"

What Mrs. Chen said was a bit unreasonable. She actually brought the old couple up. Why didn't she say that her second wife ate more and took more?

Chen Xinyan wanted to argue a few words, but was stopped by Mrs. Chen San.

Mrs. Chen wiped her tears and choked up, saying, "Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, you know what kind of life we ​​lived before. We really had no money."

Madam Chen Er angrily said, "If that's the case, then from now on, don't eat a single bite of our food, and don't even drink our water!"

Mrs. Chen San lowered her head and wiped her tears, and said nothing more.

Both Old Madam Chen and Old Master Chen pretended not to see.

"Mom, ah, I want to eat meat..."

In order to get a piece of meat, Chen Xiaobao started throwing a tantrum again.

Mrs. Chen Er had a headache. Now it depended on who could hold on the longest. Whoever couldn't hold on first would have to spend money. Chen Xiaobao's shout broke her heart.

If you prepare food for the children, you have to share some with the old couple. Once the old couple eats the food, they don’t care about the lives of others.

The old couple must have a lot of money, but they keep it on themselves and don't spend it. Instead, they take advantage of their younger generation. It's really infuriating.

Mrs. Chen Er made up her mind and walked up to Old Man Chen: "Dad, please say something and make the decision. We can't let everyone starve. We have to travel tomorrow, and if we can't walk, we will be whipped."

She had been whipped before and was still in pain.

Old Madam Chen smelled the meat over there and started scolding again: "You unfilial thing, you have meat to eat yourself, but let grandparents go hungry!"

Xiao Yanxi pretended not to hear. Xiao Zhenzhen felt that Old Madam Chen was scolding her. She managed to smile a little, then hid aside and burst into tears.

Xie Fanjin rolled his eyes. "Put in more meat. Bingyi might be able to get something back."

Old Madam Chen was so angry that she almost fell backwards.

Mrs. Chen Er was waiting for Mr. Chen's next words. Mr. Chen didn't say anything, so Mrs. Chen Er refused to leave.

Seeing her arrogant look, Old Master Chen finally spoke: "They say that happiness should be shared and hardship should be shared. You have enjoyed all the happiness, but when hardship comes, you refuse each other. Who doesn't understand your cunning? You are making such a fuss that you are making others laugh at you."

Mrs. Chen Er rolled her eyes in her heart, you see it very clearly, you know that you are being laughed at, why don’t you give us some more money to let everyone have enough food and drink?

Old Master Chen continued to act pretentiously: "From now on, we will spend money based on the number of people. The family with more people will spend more, and the family with fewer people will spend less. Is this fair?"

After hearing this, the second wife was satisfied.

The second wife only had one son and two daughters, and the eldest daughter was married. Knowing that she was exiled, she would definitely support her. So there were only the two of them and their son and daughter, four people left.

But there are many people in the eldest house, including the eldest son and daughter-in-law, the eldest daughter, the youngest daughter, and the youngest son, a total of seven people in the family.

Madam Chen said with a bitter face, "Father, it's fine if you want to divide it this way, but Xiaobao from the second room is picky about food. We can fill our stomachs with corn cakes, but he wants to eat meat every day, and we can't all eat with him, so he has his own special meal, and we can't share the money equally."

Mrs. Chen Er was not happy anymore. A mouthful of meat from Chen Xiaobao was two days' food ration for their family. If this little brat could eat his father to death, wouldn't all their family savings be eaten up?

Old Madam Chen: "Then Xiaobao won't eat from the big pot, and his food allowance will be removed."

This time, Mrs. Chen was satisfied.

At this time, Mrs. Chen San, who had been silent the whole time, slowly spoke up: "Dad, Mom, we don't have much money, so we won't eat with everyone else. We can just pick some wild vegetables along the way to fill our stomachs."

Mrs. Chen San is not a fool. Even if Mr. Chen said to calculate it based on the number of people, and others can drink two bowls of porridge, she and her daughter may not even get a bowl, and they will have to pay for two people's meals. They are the ones who suffer the loss.

Old Master Chen sighed, and knowing what Mrs. Chen San was thinking, he remained silent.

Mrs. Chen Er certainly understood: "Sister-in-law, as long as our parents are alive, we will not divide the family. You are sharing the food with us. You simply don't put your parents in your eyes."

Chen Xinyan regained some strength: "Second Aunt, didn't you just say that we should eat alone and find water alone?"

"You stupid girl, you have no right to speak!"

Mrs. Chen Er's face changed, and she stepped forward and slapped Chen Xinyan, finally venting some of her anger from the past few days.
