It's really hard to just farm peacefully.

The gurgling sound damaged the seriousness of the atmosphere, and Nanny Huang's expression cracked for a moment, but she quickly adjusted herself. She was old and there was nothing to be afraid of such embarrassment.

Looking at Jiang Yan biting her lip as if she was chuckling, she added: "Anyone who has been hungry for most of the day will cry the same..."

As she spoke, Nanny Huang seemed to have figured out why the three people in front of her had just sang in unison. Her annoyance gradually dissipated, and she picked up Qiao again.

"You guys want to eat? Come on~" Nanny Huang found a high chair and sat down, stretching her arms. "Massage my old arms and legs until they feel better. I'll say hello to the gatekeeper and bring you food."

"It's not expensive, just, twenty cents each." Thinking of the high room fee, Madam Huang doubled the asking price.

Yile and Chunying actually hadn't thought about this. When they heard about selling food, they guessed that Nanny Huang just wanted to fight back and had no intention of helping them solve the problem of food and drink. They simply lowered their heads to warm themselves by the fire and ignored her.

But Jiang Yan was not like that. When she was hungry, she just wanted to find something to distract herself and didn't care whether Nanny Huang was sincere or not.

So, as soon as Huang Ma Ma finished speaking, she retorted without hesitation, "You're dreaming."

"You little girl, charging me ten cents for the room, isn't that a nice thought?"

"The house is right there. You can move in right away after you pay the money, but where is the food you mentioned?" Jiang Yan pointed at Nanny Huang's stomach. "You're going to starve with us tonight."

Huang Mama glared: "If you hadn't made such a fuss that the master was angry, would I have no food to eat?!"

"The truth is, you have nothing to eat." Jiang Yan was eager to test Madam Huang's sore spot. "I heard you're the Madam's most trusted madam. Tomorrow, someone will surely remember that you're also starving."

Huang Mama was indeed stung. She had been in the Chang family for nearly forty years and was very familiar with Mrs. Chang's dislike for the old and the new.

If she didn't serve Madam Chang constantly, all the goodwill she had accumulated in the early days would be gone in a blink of an eye. Otherwise, she would have long since begged for mercy and left to enjoy her life.

Jiang Yan noticed the moment when Nanny Huang was depressed. Before she could hide her feelings and start to argue, she changed the subject and said comfortingly, "Nanny, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said such sad words to you."

"It doesn't matter if no one has thought of you these days. Let's find a way to have the kitchen secretly send some food over. You're old, and you're not as young as us. You can't afford to go hungry."

Nanny Huang was aroused by Jiang Yan's constant complaints about being hungry. Tomorrow she vowed to prove that all her years in the Chang Mansion were not in vain.

Fu Weixin, who had spent the entire afternoon holed up in her room, was also deeply hurt by the words. She had been impulsive that morning, but after calming down, she felt a sense of regret. She regretted not having a plan for retreat and had forced herself into this predicament, where even her food and drink were controlled by others.

She suddenly opened the door and coldly called out to the four people who were sitting outside the house by the stove to keep warm, "Get out of here! The buzzing noise is giving me a headache."

Jiang Yan obediently shut her mouth and followed Yile and the others to pick up the things on the ground. Just as she was about to leave, Fu Nulang called her name again: "Jiang Yan, you haven't stopped talking all night. Since you are so energetic, stay and keep watch for me."

Jiang Yan pretended not to notice Chunying's mouth shape of "I wish you the best" and quickly put on a submissive smile before responding, "Yes."

Jiang Yan watched Nanny Huang and Chunying leave together, still wondering whether Nanny Huang would occupy the bed on his left or Chunying's right, when he heard the soul of Fu Nulang behind him ask, "Are you blaming me for leaving you without food?"

"How could that be?" Jiang Yan denied it without even thinking. Is she such an ungrateful person?

"It was because of us servants that the young lady came into conflict with the Chang family. If the young lady had not rescued us in time, we would have been killed in the laundry room."
