During my escape from famine, I survived by eavesdropping on the whispers of food.

Everyone can see clearly that in the current state of affairs, being able to eat one's fill is a matter of life and death, so naturally, they can distinguish between what is more important and what is less important.

As a result, everyone's attention was focused on Qin Shuangshuang's face, and no one rushed to save the old lady Qin.

Old Mrs. Qin's eyes were slightly sunken. Seeing that no one in her group was paying attention to her anymore and no one wanted to come to her rescue, she instantly flew into a rage and shouted at them, "You heartless people! I've never treated you badly in the slightest, and now not a single one of you is willing to come to my rescue? You're a bunch of heartless bastards!"

Old Qin, who was standing to the side, was weak and leaning on his cane. He and the eldest son, who was standing next to him, were both very anxious as they watched this scene.

If no one comes to rescue Old Lady Qin, it means that everyone probably doesn't want to stand on the same side as them.

Seeing that only the old man behind her and the eldest son were still trying to protect her, Old Mrs. Qin realized that at the moment, only the old man behind her and the eldest son's family were still trying to protect her.

Old Mrs. Qin said to the eldest son's wife, "Quickly bring your father-in-law over here. We're going to stay here today. If others can stay here, we must stay here too. Let's see what they can do to us. Do you think anyone would dare to kick out their own night nurse? I don't think she would dare."

Old Mrs. Qin's tone became increasingly arrogant, speaking as if her two sisters owed them something.

Unexpectedly, Qin Shuangshuang, who was good at dealing with arrogant people, decisively addressed the crowd and said, "Since that's the case, let's vote by raising our hands. There shouldn't be any objections to the minority obeying the majority, right? Those who agree that this family should stay here can raise their hands."

As soon as he finished speaking, the room fell silent; not a single person agreed.

Qin Shuangshuang couldn't help but snort coldly. Sure enough, it's just human nature.

Seeing herself isolated and helpless, Old Mrs. Qin was furious and was about to step forward to slap Qin Shuangshuang, "You brat, you liar! Do you believe me? When I get to a big county, I will definitely take you to court. How can you treat the elders of the family like this?"

However, several burly men pushed her and her family out of the crowd. The three of them looked at these big men in front of them and became as timid as mice.

Qin Shuangshuang told her without hesitation, "You are disrespectful to your elders, why should I respect you?"

Seeing that Qin Shuangshuang no longer treated her like an elder, Old Mrs. Qin simply said to the eldest son, "Forget about her, let's go to the backyard and find a place to stay. I don't believe she dares to do anything to me. Otherwise, if we really leave this place, where will we find food? This is the only place that can keep us warm and fed!"

Seeing that Qin Shuangshuang was also difficult to deal with, and looking at the frail Old Master Qin beside him, the eldest son of the family really didn't know what to do.

Then several burly men came over and dragged the three of them away.

Old Mrs. Qin struggled and said, "Why did you throw me out? Qin Shuangshuang, I thought you were corrupted by your mother who couldn't keep a man because of your rotten man, so I tolerated you again and again. Let me tell you, apologize to me now, and I can forgive you. Otherwise, one day I will not let you off the hook!"

She dared to curse her own mother again.

Qin Shuangshuang sneered and retorted, "Is that so?"

Qin Shuangshuang gave a look to the group of burly men.

The eldest son watched as the two burly men behind him gripped his elbows tightly, becoming even more rude, and dragged him outside.

The eldest daughter-in-law cried out, "What are you doing? You're abusing an innocent woman! Help! Help!"

No one dared to say anything; they simply watched the spectacle as the old man from Qin and his family were ruthlessly dragged away.

Qin Shuangshuang clapped her hands in satisfaction and said to the newcomers around her, "Since we were all from the same village, I won't make things difficult for you. Since you've chosen to follow me, you can rest assured that I will treat you well and try my best to make sure everyone has enough to eat."

Everyone nodded in agreement, and someone stepped forward to say to Qin Shuangshuang, "Shuangshuang, since you say so, we are relieved. We hope you will forgive and forget your past mistakes."

"We were wrong before, helping that old hag to make things difficult for you. Don't worry, we're here for you, and we'll make sure no one bullies you again."

"Yes, we were wrong before, and we hope you can forgive us for our past mistakes."

Don't worry, we will definitely work hard with you, and everyone's life will get better and better!

Qin Shuangshuang nodded in satisfaction and said to everyone, "I'm relieved to hear you say that. Since some of you have already caught a cold..."

I quickly brewed some herbal medicine for everyone to drink, and that should help them get through this cold. Those who are still able to work should have the eaves repaired tomorrow so everyone has shelter from the wind and rain.

Finally, Qin Shuangshuang divided the family groups according to how she had previously organized her own team.

They split into several groups, and when Qin Shuangshuang was there stewing a pot of soup, she called over a few strong men to help.

Everyone was waiting there happily, especially the new team, who were waiting to see if Qin Shuangshuang would bring something good.

However, after Qin Shuangshuang finished cooking the herbal soup, several people around her couldn't help but rub their noses.

Uncle Li stood next to Lu Jun and asked him, "What is Shuangshuang doing?"

Lu Jun smiled and said, "This is to poison you."

Uncle Li was instantly shocked and said, "Trying to poison us? Qin Shuangshuang isn't that kind of person. I'd rather believe someone else would poison us than believe her."

Lu Jun chuckled and said to him, "Don't worry, she won't poison you. It's all medicinal herbs in there. Drinking it will cure your cold."

Upon hearing this, Uncle Li nodded and said to Lu Jun, "In that case, you'll have to drink several bowls later. You coughed quite a bit last night."

Thankfully, Shuangshuang came up with a way to brew some herbal soup for everyone today, which puts my mind at ease. My child hasn't been feeling well lately, and I'm counting on this herbal soup to save his life.

Before long, Qin Shuangshuang served several people a bowl. Seeing that everyone was holding a bowl, she said, "Hurry up and drink it, and see if there are any changes in your body."

Looking at the dark, murky medicine in the bowl, the elders said to Qin Shuangshuang with some concern, "Although this does have a medicinal smell..."

But is it really drinkable?

Qin Shuangshuang nodded and said, "Don't worry, drink it. After drinking this, we'll definitely be able to get through this cold."

After her affirmative answer, the leaders drank it down, and then there were no more dissenting voices.

Qin Shuangshuang couldn't help but look up at the sky outside. It was starting to snow lightly. How to get through this winter was indeed a bit worrying.

After all, the things placed inside the space have been growing naturally all along.

But it's uncertain whether they can survive this winter, given the large population.

Lu Jun stepped forward and asked Qin Shuangshuang, "What are you thinking about?"

Lu Jun looked out at the sky and said to Qin Shuangshuang, "It's snowing."

Qin Shuangshuang said, "With so many people, it seems I need to think of more ways to get more food so that everyone can get through this winter safely."

Lu Jun frowned slightly and said to her with concern, "With so many people, how can we rely on just you? Take everyone up the mountain together."

Qin Shuangshuang hesitated for a moment.

She thought about it. After all, she could hear the thoughts of those foods, but they might not be able to. They could probably only search for them in the grass. But finding something was better than not finding anything.

If they can find a few examples themselves, they should be able to find some food among them under their guidance.

Qin Shuangshuang felt that it was unrealistic to rely on herself alone now.

Lu Jun noticed her hesitation and the complex emotions in her eyes, and looked on with suspicion.

He had always been curious why even the soldiers couldn't find food, yet this little girl could. It was so amazing that it made him suspicious.

Just then, a series of strong footsteps sounded outside the door.
