A massive famine! The whole family travels through time together, and with their spatial abilities,

"Mom, please give us some water, we've run out."

Li Jiao'e had walked all day and had drunk all the water she carried.

Last night, the family wouldn't give her a single piece of meat, or even any dry food.

She had been hungry all night, and if she hadn't cooked porridge for herself in the morning, she probably wouldn't have been able to eat a single bite.

She was starving and could only drink water to stave off hunger.

Li Jiao'e handed the empty bamboo tube to Shen Yuehua.

Shen Yuehua glanced at her eldest daughter-in-law, and her expression darkened.

"This is a day's supply for your family of three, and you used it all up in half a day?"

Li Jiao'e wasn't ashamed at all, and said confidently, "Mother, you haven't given me any food for two meals. If I don't drink some water, how will I have the strength to travel?"

"You won't even let me ride in the carriage. I've walked so far, I'm hungry and thirsty, how can I survive without drinking more water!"

"I've already told you, there's not much water left at home, so we have to use it sparingly. The water I've given you is the amount I've calculated. If you want water, wait until tomorrow." Shen Yuehua didn't hold back and directly refused.

Her daughter risked her life searching for water resources outside, charging ahead to fight the enemy for everyone.

Asking this sister-in-law to cook a meal, she makes excuses and acts all high and mighty, showing no sense of responsibility whatsoever.

Do they really think the Su family is easy to bully? They take it for granted.

"Mother, how could you do this! Are you trying to force your daughter-in-law to die? What have I done to offend you?"

"You've never treated us daughters-in-law like this before! It's all because of you, your daughter, that you've treated me like dirt! It must be this bitch instigating it all behind my back!"

"She really is a troublemaker! She makes the house uneasy! No wonder the Lin family kicked her out! She can't compare to Wanwan at all!"

Unable to get water, Li Jiao'e broke down and began to curse incoherently.

Seeing his wife and mother arguing, Su Chang'an dragged his tired body over to inquire.

"What's going on? Mother, did you bully her again?" Su Chang'an frowned unhappily, feeling exhausted.

When will this exhausting life ever end?

He couldn't hold on for even a day longer!

As Shen Yuehua watched her son blame her without asking why, a small flame of anger grew in her heart.

"Drag your men away from me, and don't come hanging around in front of me looking for trouble again! You get the hell out of here too, you idiot."

Su Chang'an was stunned by the scolding; he hadn't expected his mother to scold him like that.

He's a scholar, after all. Does his mother really have no respect for him?

There are so many people watching!

"Mother, can you please stop being unreasonable?" Su Chang'an rebuked Shen Yuehua, clearly displeased.

Su Yunhai had just returned after arranging the team when he heard the boss yelling at his wife.

Without asking any questions, he kicked the man away.

"You wretched child, how dare you speak to your mother like that? Haven't you been beaten enough lately?!"

"Take your men and get the hell out of here, or I'll make you regret it."

Su Chang'an didn't expect his father to kick him again!

He's been kicked twice in the last two days!

What did he do wrong to deserve this treatment?!

Despite his many grievances, he dared not argue with his father. He pulled Li Jiao'e away and found a shady spot to sit down.

Seeing that his elder brother had been plagued by bad luck lately, Su Ding'an didn't dare to go near his parents anymore. He immediately stayed far away to feed the livestock.

Grandma Su and her husband, along with the people from the first and third branches of the family, surrounded the second branch.

Grandma Su originally wanted to get closer to the second wife's family, at least to get some water for the family and cook them a meal.

She saw the second son and his wife searching for someone in a fit of rage, and she was a little scared, not daring to go over and add to their troubles.

Her eyes lit up when she glanced at the second son of the second wife.

Those three grandsons are such spendthrifts!

Even though there was no water for the people, he still gave the livestock so much water!

This is going to kill her!

She immediately grabbed a washbasin from the house and rushed over, shoving Su Ding'an aside.

He deftly scooped a full basin of water from the wooden bucket, not caring whether the livestock had drunk from it or not, and then gulped it down in big mouthfuls.

She hadn't drunk much water for two days, so this sip felt so refreshing!

The mule, who was drinking water, was suddenly deprived of its food and became unhappy.

It had never seen people and livestock fighting over water before!

It's the one that drank it!

So ungrateful!

Su Ding'an was so shocked by this sudden scene that he couldn't come to his senses.

"Grandma, that's water meant for the livestock! How could you steal water from them!"

All the supplies at home are pulled by these few animals!

We absolutely cannot skimp on their food rations!

Otherwise, if these animals die of exhaustion, how will we transport the supplies back home?

Are we relying on him to carry the load?

He doesn't have that ability, and he doesn't want to treat himself like an animal!

Su Ding'an was clearer about this matter than his two brothers.

Therefore, Su Ding'an was in charge of feeding all the livestock in the family, and dared not neglect it in the slightest.

Shen Shuli sat under a tree to rest, feeding her and Su Yunhai's horses alone.

However, she kept a close eye on what was happening in the house.

She saw all of Grandma Su's outrageous actions.

She had to admire the unique way this old lady Su did things.

They even went so far as to steal water that the livestock had drunk from and then flaunt it.

She deserves to have access to water; she's convinced!

Grandma Su had already taken the washbasin and headed towards her eldest son.

She smugly showed off to her old man and eldest son.

"Look, this is water that I managed to get with great difficulty. We'll cook some thin porridge for today to replenish our fluids."

"Eldest daughter-in-law, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and start the firewood to cook!"

The Su family's eldest branch watched as Old Lady Su fought for water.

Even they didn't expect that this basin of water was obtained in this way.

They all seemed disgusted and couldn't bring themselves to drink it.

But they hadn't had much water for two days, and they couldn't bear to waste the water they had finally managed to get!

What else can we do? Just keep drinking it!

Su Ding'an was worried that the old lady would continue to compete with his livestock for water, so he was on high alert when feeding her water.

Su Yunhai and his wife also saw it, but what could they say?

She's his own mother. How could he possibly stop her from fighting with his livestock for water?

Then Su Yunhai will probably lose all face.

Not only did the Su family have no water to drink or cook, but the people from Peach Blossom Village who fled halfway also had no water or food.

They stared longingly at Su Yunhai's family and Li Youren's family, swallowing hard.

Several shameless individuals even brazenly asked them for water, but they were all refused.

They rested in place for an hour.

The intense sunlight finally subsided slightly.

Su Yunhai told everyone to continue their journey and try to reach the small town ahead before dark to spend the night.

Zhang Shiwen inquired along the way and chased after them without rest.

In the distance, he saw a person several sizes larger than normal preparing to travel.

"You all continue on your way. I'll go ahead and see if it's the Su family," Zhang Shiwen said to the group before immediately riding off to catch up.
