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

If they were the adoptive parents of the Su family's adopted daughter, it would be perfectly reasonable for them to go to the Lin family.

But they are just the grandparents and uncle of the adopted daughter of the Su family. What face do they have to go to the Lin family?

This is outrageous!

Upon hearing this, Shen Yuehua's disgust for the Su family elders reached its peak.

She said to Su Yunhai with a cold face, "They didn't consider my daughter's feelings at all when they did this, and they're slapping my daughter in the face!"

"Let me tell you, Su Yunhai, from this day forward, my daughter and I will never acknowledge your parents or your elder brother's family!"

"Don't try to fool me with that stupid talk about filial piety! I don't acknowledge them!"

"Also, I'd like to formally announce something to everyone: my daughter will take my surname, Shen, and be named Shen Shuli, not Su Shuli!"

"When we went to the government office to register her household registration, we already changed her name to Shen Shuli! Please don't call her by the wrong name!"

The villagers generally agreed with what Shen Yuehua had said earlier.

After all, they had seen and remembered what their daughter had done for everyone.

Naturally, he didn't have much affection for the Su family's adopted daughter and could understand Shen Yuehua's actions.

But to their surprise, the Su family's daughter did not take the Su surname, but instead took Shen Yuehua's surname.

No one present could understand this.

But this is a family matter for the Su family, and it's none of their business to interfere.

"Hehe, since she has taken our Shen family's surname, she is now my Shen family's granddaughter. From now on, A-Li will have to call me Grandpa."

The Shen family already knew about this, and were naturally pleased.

Old Man Shen immediately stepped forward to express his opinion.

Grandma Shen took out a jade bracelet from her bosom and handed it to Shen Shuli.

"Hehe, my dear granddaughter, this jade bracelet is for you. This jade bracelet is a pair; your grandfather and your second grandfather's family each received one."

This one was originally meant to be passed down to your uncle, but I'll just give it to you.

The Shen family has a pair of heirloom jade bracelets, which are quite valuable.

The brothers Shen Huai'an and Shen Huaikang each got one.

Grandma Shen originally intended to leave the jade bracelet to her eldest son, but she changed her mind and gave it directly to Shen Shuli.

To appease her eldest son, Old Mrs. Shen quickly offered an explanation.

“Eldest brother, this jade bracelet was originally meant to be passed down to you, but Ah Li saved our Shen family’s life. She not only saved your second brother, but also saved our entire Shen family from the barbarians.”

"Now they've given our Shen family so much food, saving our whole family once again."

"The road to escape famine is still long, and what we owe Ah Li will only grow, and we will never be able to pay it back."

"Now it's all good. Ah Li has taken our Shen family name, so she's a member of our Shen family."

“Your father and I don’t have anything of value, except for this jade bracelet. We hope your family can understand.”

Shen Yuehui and Wang Fanghong exchanged a glance.

The two knew that the Shen family had a pair of heirloom jade bracelets, and they also knew that their parents would eventually pass the jade bracelets on to their eldest son's family.

But they never expected their parents to make this decision.

Over the years, they had long since decided that the jade bracelet belonged to them.

It's understandable to feel uncomfortable when something that belongs to you suddenly no longer belongs to them.

But they are all reasonable people.

I know there's nothing wrong with what my parents did.

Ah Li has saved the Shen family so many times, and the Shen family has no way to repay her.

One jade bracelet is simply not enough to repay Ah Li for saving her life.

Wang Fanghong nodded to her husband, and only then did Shen Yuehui speak up.

"Mother, we respect your decision."

“You’ve forgotten to mention it once. If it weren’t for my sister persuading us to flee the famine with the Su family, the Shen family would have been killed by bandits long ago.”

"A jade bracelet is far from enough to repay Ah Li's life-saving grace. From now on, my life, Shen Yuehui's life, belongs to Ah Li. I will do whatever she asks me to do without any hesitation!"

Mr. and Mrs. Shen were very pleased to find their son so understanding and righteous.

Shen Shuli had no desire to accept the Shen family's heirloom, mainly because she had plenty of top-quality jade ornaments in her space and was not interested in this one.

"Hehe, Grandma, I can't accept this. I'll be married off to another family sooner or later. This is a treasure of our Shen family. It can't be left to others. It must be kept for our Shen family."

Shen Shuli quickly made an excuse to refuse.

Just kidding, getting married is out of the question.

In her past life, she never had a man who could catch her eye or capture her heart.

She can't just come to ancient times and be like the heroines in those female-oriented historical romance novels, praising the male lead to the skies the moment she sees him.

Having been a spinster her whole life in her previous life, she'll have her virginity taken by an ancient man as soon as she arrives in ancient times, right?

what is this?

Domestically, it closed itself off from the world.

Opening up and reform to the outside world?

Unless she has a need and wants to sleep with a man.

Shen Shuli refused, and Grandpa and Grandma Shen had no choice but to give up.

With the matter concluded, the group resumed their journey.

.

Lin Yuan.

The Lin family walked for two hours before finally arriving at Lin Garden.

In the past, the Lin family always traveled by luxurious carriages and had never traveled this far before.

Moreover, the garden is built halfway up the mountain.

The Lin family was robbed twice, and their carriage and livestock disappeared together, leaving them to escape on foot.

The short stretch of mountain road had already exhausted the pampered Lin family.

"We've finally arrived. Fortunately, we still have this compound, so those rioters shouldn't be able to find this place for the time being."

Lin Wufeng, panting, spoke to the Lin family members.

"Everyone, rest here for two days. We have important business to attend to. Once we're done, we'll head south immediately. We can't stay in Qingzhou any longer."

The brothers Lin Wufeng and Lin Wuchong would come to Linyuan to stay for a period of time every year.

They each have their own courtyard in the forest, so there's no need for special arrangements.

This time, there are more than a dozen members from the Su family, and Madam Lin still has to make arrangements for them.

She was so tired that her legs were trembling, and she was very irritable. She randomly pointed to a place and asked the servants to take the Su family to rest.

The Lin family had just entered the Lin Garden.

Unexpectedly, the forest garden was completely dark, with not a single light on.

Lin Wufeng immediately asked the guards outside, "What's going on? Why is it so dark inside? Not a single lantern is lit?"

The guard who was questioned immediately clasped his hands in a fist salute and bowed his head in response.

“Go home, Lord. We don’t know that our group of brothers has been on duty here for eight hours. No one has come to relieve us, and we dare not leave our posts without permission.”

He really wanted to say that they were starving and exhausted, but he didn't dare.

Upon hearing this, a sense of foreboding arose in the minds of the Lin family members.

"Come with me inside and take a look!"

Lin Wufeng rushed into the courtyard, holding the torch that the soldier had just lit.

good news.

Not a single person from Lin Yuan was missing.

bad news.

Everyone was lying on the ground, unconscious.

How familiar this scene is!

The Lin family was filled with despair upon witnessing this scene!

This is what it looked like when the Lin family ancestral home and Lin San's private residence were burgled!

Everywhere they went, there were maids and servants lying on the ground.

This time it's even more outrageous!

Why are all the thousands of guards they secretly trained lying on the ground?
