Armed with a machete and a gun, armed with a system, they fled the famine.

Yuan Tianbao is six years old this year. His round little face is chubby, and he looks like he has plenty to eat and drink.

He stuffed the dark-colored steamed bun into Zhao Yunchen's hand and said sincerely, "Brother Chen, I'm not hungry, you eat it."

“My grandfather said your leg can be cured, and it definitely can be cured. You have to have confidence in yourself.”

Zhao Yunqi wanted to give the black steamed bun in his hand to his elder brother, but Zhao Yunchen raised his hand to stop him.

"Take it and eat it yourself, I have some here."

After a pause, he finally made up his mind and took a bite of the dark-colored steamed bun.

"Okay, I'll eat."

As for what his aunt has done for him, he will find a way to repay her sooner or later.

Zhao Yan followed Yuan Yutang back to Miao'an Hall, where she picked up her medicine and paid for it.

Before leaving, Yuan Yutang stuffed a bottle of plaster into her hand.

"Yan'er, this is a scar removal cream I made myself. Take it back and use it on your nephew's face."

"Uncle Yuan, how much is this jar of plaster? I'll pay you."

Zhao Yan felt grateful and reached her hand into her bosom.

Seeing her gesture, Yuan Yutang quickly waved his hand at her.

"It's free. I made the plaster myself, so I'll give it to you."

Finally, he added, "Let me know when you're done using them, I have some more."

Hearing him say that, Zhao Yan became even closer to him.

She bowed sincerely to Yuan Yutang and said, "Uncle Yuan, I'll bring Xiaomi to visit you another day."

After leaving Miao'an Hall, she didn't rush to the dilapidated temple to find her three nephews. Instead, she inquired around and found a brokerage firm in the west of the city.

She was greeted by a man named Sun Xiaodi.

I asked around and found out that the man named Sun Xiaodi lived in Sunjia Village, which is under Baima Town, and he was not yet married.

Don't let his old appearance fool you, he's only twenty-two this year, the same age as the original owner of this body.

Sun Xiaodi led Zhao Yan to an empty house in the south of the city.

“Zhao Niangzi, this is the place. Don’t be fooled by its dilapidated exterior; inside it’s a solid brick and tile house.”

He took out his keys from his pocket, opened the gate, and gestured for Zhao Yan to step into the courtyard.

Zhao Yan walked into the courtyard, her eyes scanning the small courtyard from side to side.

The house faces south, with the main hall on the north side and a bedroom on each side.

To the west was a storage room and a livestock shed.

Two rooms were also built on the east side, one side room and next to the side room was a kitchen.

The place wasn't big, but the house was made of blue bricks and tiled roofs, with a sturdy and reliable roof that could withstand wind and rain, making it a hundred times better than the dilapidated temple where my three nephews lived.

More importantly, there is a well under the west wall next to the gate.

I don't know if there's still water inside; we'll have to test it to find out.

Putting that aside, Zhao Yan was quite satisfied with the house in her heart, but she was still picking and choosing on the surface.

"The house looks sturdy, but look at the kitchen window, it's all broken. And this door, I could kick it open with one kick..."

Sun Xiaodi had thought he was absolutely certain he could rent out the house, but after Zhao Yan's suggestion, he immediately lost confidence.

He bought the house from the original owner at a low price a few years ago.

His original intention was to rent it out, which would bring in some income each month.

However, he did not expect that people's lives would be difficult in recent years, and the houses would become his unsellable assets.

If he can't rent it out again, all the money he invested back then will be wasted.

Sun Xiaodi's eyes flickered, and he gritted his teeth, "Girl, if you rent this apartment, I'll give you a discount of twenty coins per month."

He set the rent at 350 coins per month, with a deposit of one month's rent and two months' rent paid in advance.

Zhao Yan was interested in renting it, and after thinking for a moment, she made her demands.

“I can rent the house, but I have a condition: I will pay you the rent at the beginning of the month and settle it monthly.”

"If you agree, I'll rent it."

She rented a house temporarily simply to make it easier for Zhao Yunchen to recover from his injury.

Once Zhao Yunchen's leg injury heals, she will definitely take her three nephews back to Chenjiagou.

Chenjiagou is nestled against the mountains. Although she has no other skills, hunting wild game in the mountains is still a piece of cake for her.

Sun Xiaodi hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and agreed.

"Okay, let's do as you say."

If you can rent for a month, you'll get a month's rent.

This house will be abandoned sooner or later if no one lives there.

Once the rent was settled, Zhao Yan felt much more at ease.

The two immediately signed the lease agreement.

Zhao Yan promptly paid the first month's rent, and Sun Xiaodi left after handing her the room key.

Zhao Yan opened each door, looked through them one by one, silently noted down what she needed to buy in each room, then locked the courtyard gate and headed straight for East Street.

She bought three quilts and three cotton quilts in one go at the clothing store.

Thinking that her three nephews had nothing of value, she bought each of them two sets of spare clothes.

The proprietress was overjoyed to have closed this big deal.

After leaving the clothing shop, Zhao Yan went to the grain shop across the street and bought fifty catties of dark flour, twenty catties of millet, twenty catties of white flour, ten catties of rice, two catties of brown sugar, and ten catties of salt in one go.

Having staple food alone wasn't enough, so she went to the meat stall and bought two pounds of pork belly, five pounds of pork fat, and two pork bones.

After buying the food, she realized that there was nothing in the kitchen, so she went to the largest general store on East Street and bought pots, pans, and other utensils.

When she passed the car dealership, she bought an extra handcart.

It was half an hour later when all these items were purchased.

Worried that her three nephews would be waiting anxiously, Zhao Yan returned to her rented house, took a bunch of things out of her spatial storage, and without even having time to put them away, she pushed the cart and rushed to the dilapidated temple.

Zhao Yunchen and his companions were waiting for Zhao Yan to return in the dilapidated temple.

Half an hour passed, and Zhao Yunjie, being impatient, paced back and forth in the room.

"Big brother, Aunt hasn't come back yet. Could something have happened to her?"

Seeing that he was getting dizzy from spinning around, Zhao Yunchen couldn't help but close his eyes.

"Yun Jie, stop and rest for a while. Your aunt is with Elder Yuan, she'll be fine."

Zhao Yunqi, being thoughtful, glanced at his elder brother and couldn't help but remind him, "Brother, Uncle has been gone for several years now. Aunt and my cousin must be having a hard time living in the Yang family. If she suddenly takes us in... Brother, do you think Aunt might suddenly regret it and not want to take care of us anymore?"

It's not impossible.

Zhao Yunchen thought bleakly that it was understandable that his aunt thought he was a burden, given that he was a useless person and he had two good-for-nothing boys with him.

He didn't want to say anything bad about his aunt, so he didn't respond to Zhao Yunqi's words.

Upon seeing this, Zhao Yunjie's jubilant mood plummeted.

A heavy sense of sorrow immediately filled the dilapidated temple.

Yuan Tianbao looked at this and then at that, his face blank.

Um?what's the situation?

Why are Chen and his two brothers looking so sad again?

Just as the three brothers were looking worried, they heard the sound of the door being pushed open.

Zhao Yunjie's eyes lit up, and he turned and ran out in a flash.

The next second, his joyful shout came from outside.

"Auntie! You're finally here!"
