In the years of famine, the knife in my mother's hand is not bad either

The high-pitched and passionate voice came out of Wang Tianci's mouth again.

Everyone looked at each other.

They could all see the displeasure on each other's faces: Young Master, why can't you see the situation clearly?

I told him all the channels for purchasing charcoal and winter clothes.

He actually made things difficult for his own group of people.

For a moment, everyone turned their heads away, their eyes looking at their noses, their noses looking at their mouths, and their mouths looking at their hearts.

Wang Tianci saw that even the county lieutenant Liu Sheng lowered his head and remained silent after he spoke again.

I suddenly understood.

Said angrily:

"Since you are unwilling to sell, then Quan Tianci has not come today."

After he finished speaking, Wang Tianci walked outside with anger.

Seeing this, Liu's father, who had just warmed himself by the fire, although he was greedy for the hot charcoal brazier, still quickly chased outside.

"Good son-in-law, good son-in-law!" Father Liu reached out and grabbed Wang Tianci's arm, calling him softly until he pulled Wang Tianci to stand in place.

Then he slowly said:

"What those merchants said makes sense. Even though we've split up, it doesn't mean you can't go back and buy things with your mother."

"It's just some charcoal and winter clothes. Others can refuse, but your mother can't."

"After all, we are blood relatives."

But what he said made Wang Tianci feel like a heavy mountain pressing on his heart.

Close relatives connected by blood?

But he ended up separating from his closest relatives and living with his father-in-law's family?

He could have had enough food and clothing, and even the current cold winter was not something he should have to experience. Living with his mother, he had winter clothes, charcoal fire, and his own room to live in.

Why did he separate from his mother and live in his father-in-law's house?

Especially in recent days, my father-in-law has been glaring at me and often treats me badly.

Embarrass yourself in front of your wife and lose face.

Even Liu Hao, who had always admired him, now always looked disgusted.

What? Did he, as her brother-in-law, suffer any loss?

Isn’t it just that they and their family are eating refined rice and white flour like themselves?

Thinking of this, Wang Tianci responded in a muffled voice:

"I see."

After hearing Wang Tianci's response, his father-in-law Liufu showed joy on his face.

Then he followed Wang Tianci and walked towards the residence of his mother-in-law Shen Qian and her group.

When we got outside the camp, there were soldiers guarding the area.

He didn't dare to go in directly.

Even Wang Tianci only entered the camp after meeting soldiers he was familiar with.

Father Liu could only watch silently from outside. When he saw his son-in-law walking away, he shouted:

"Tell your mother that without charcoal and winter clothes we might freeze to death."

"I understand!" Wang Tianci responded, and then walked in with big strides.

He stopped and observed carefully until he disappeared from Liu's father's sight.

When he saw the maid in luxurious clothes busy changing the charcoal at the door, he concluded that...his mother lived here.

After all, apart from my mother, no one else brought a maid with them.

Even the empress did not bring any maids with her.

As long as I don’t see the empress and only see my mother, there shouldn’t be any problem! Wang Tianci encouraged himself.

The moment you lift your foot.

A voice appeared in my ears:

"It's so warm here, Mom. Xiao Qi likes staying by Mom's side the most."

"You are such a scheming little girl, don't you think your mother doesn't know what you are thinking about?" Shen Qian chuckled, and then shouted to the maid beside her:

"Bring some honey and give her a piece."

"I bought this specifically for Emperor Zhao. If you eat this every day, be careful not to damage your teeth."

"No way..." Xiao Qi's stubborn and happy voice came from inside the house and entered Wang Tianci's ears.

Wang Tianci listened and stood at the door in a daze, his hands frozen in mid-air, not daring to push the door open.

When a maid walked past him carrying something, he pulled his hand back and subconsciously avoided and dodged.

"I shouldn't... disturb my mother." Wang Tianci thought dejectedly:

"The joy of the separation that day was undisguised."

"How can I have the face to see my mother?"

As he said this, he walked away from Shen Qian's room in a daze.

After the maid who entered the house reported to Shen Qian that Wang Tianci was standing outside the door, Shen Qian narrowed her eyes and asked softly:

"How long have you been standing there? Go see if he's leaving."

"If he hadn't left, he should have come in."

Although this family business has been separated.

But the tens of thousands of taels of silver he took from me have not been returned yet.

According to his own information, he and his father-in-law's family should be short of winter clothes and charcoal.

He took the initiative to come to me and gave him a clear way out, allowing him to use the golden area to buy winter clothes and charcoal.

The money he saved was taken away by his father-in-law's family.

Then when he's down and out, he comes back to me and makes things difficult for me.

"Yes." The maid responded.

Walk to the door, open it again, and look around.

I found that the fourth young master had disappeared.

He closed the door again, returned to Shen Qian's side, and recounted the entire situation:

"My Lord, the Fourth Young Master has already left."

After hearing the maid's story, Shen Qian murmured "hmm".

This was also within my expectations.

When the second snowstorm comes, he will definitely not be able to endure the cold winter and will come to buy from me.

Just wait patiently, your money won’t run away.

......

At the entrance of Shen Qian and his group's camp, Father Liu, who was almost frozen to death, looked at the figure slowly walking towards him, and a look of joy appeared on his face.

But when she noticed that his clothes had not changed, her happy face suddenly fell.

Especially since he didn't even have an extra package on him.

When Wang Tianci came closer, Father Liu asked Wang Tianci coldly:

"Where are the winter clothes and charcoal fire?"

"Didn't buy it?"

Facing Liu's father's question, Wang Tianci looked up at him but did not answer.

He now recognizes his snobbish father-in-law.

Before, I felt that I could buy winter clothes and charcoal, and I was very respectful to myself.

Now that he saw that he didn’t buy it, his face changed immediately.

Why didn’t I notice it before?

If I had discovered it earlier.

I wouldn't be so deceived as to separate from my mother.

Seeing that his virtuous son-in-law ignored him, Father Liu walked back on his own.

His brows furrowed.

I feel unhappy: Why are you so arrogant?

Your mother is not even willing to give you some charcoal or winter clothes, and she won't even sell them to you even if you bring money.

What could you do without our family's help?

Thinking of this, he quickened his pace.

The two men returned to the shantytown one after another and sat down guarding the carriage.

The moment Liu Hao saw Wang Tianci, his face showed a deep joy and he shouted loudly:

"Brother-in-law, have you bought the winter clothes and charcoal?"

"Did they deliver it to us?"

Faced with Liu Hao's enthusiasm, Wang Tianci took a look and got on the carriage directly.

Liu Hao was frustrated and his face suddenly turned ugly.

He looked at his grandfather, but he just shook his head.

Liu Hao's original enthusiasm for Wang Tianci suddenly faded.

His face also turned cold.

Night is approaching.

Outside the carriage, the Liu family had prepared dinner and were gathered together eating.

Wang Tianci smelled something in the carriage and immediately stuck his head out. When he saw that they were eating without calling him, his eyes suddenly widened:

"You...you guys!"

"Why didn't I call my husband and I to eat?"
