My treasure bowl connects the past and present; I've won everything on my journey into exile.

Chapter 56 A small favor is appreciated, but a large one breeds resentment.

The next day.

As dawn broke, everyone was awakened by the rich aroma of bone broth.

When they realized the aroma was coming from the direction of the Xu family's house, everyone craned their necks.

Seeing the steaming pot next to the Xu family's house, everyone suddenly realized what was going on.

It turns out that the Xu family borrowed the pot last night to make soup.

The rich aroma of bone broth that filled the air made many people swallow hard.

Especially when they see the soup simmering until it turns white, the sound of swallowing their saliva becomes even louder.

"I could eat two big bowls of this soup with noodles," someone exclaimed.

"If you sprinkle some chopped green onions on top and add two slices of meat, wouldn't you be able to eat another bowl?"

This answer made many people laugh.

His eyes then dimmed.

Eating a bowl of noodles has become a luxury for them now.

You have to understand that in the past, they would have completely disregarded ordinary ground.

Lin Mo glanced at the soup, then looked up at everyone:

"I'm out of noodles."

But the soup can be half a bowl.

"If you want some drink, bring a bowl. If you're late and there's nothing left, don't blame anyone else; you can only blame yourself for being slow."

Before Lin Mo finished speaking, everyone hurriedly lined up.

Look at that layer of oil on the surface of the soup; a little meatiness is actually a good thing.

Soon, a long queue formed in front of the large pots.

Because there were so many people, each person could only have one spoonful of soup.

For children, they are given an extra piece of chopped bone.

Even after cooking, the bones still have some meat on them.

On a winter morning, a bowl of hot soup brings a touch of satisfaction to everyone's face.

Some people, after drinking the soup, were not satisfied and couldn't help but complain about Lin Mo's stinginess.

They still have so much meat and rice, why not put some in to fill their stomachs? Instead, they've eaten a little something, but they're just craving it.

The one complaining was Chen Zhihua from the Chen family.

As soon as he finished speaking, he was ridiculed by everyone.

"Ha, you're the kind of person who takes an inch and wants a mile."

At this point, the Xu family was already being incredibly generous by offering the bones to make soup for everyone; how could you expect them to offer everything? "

"Exactly, people are never satisfied. If everyone thought like him, who would dare to help others? And if I did, I wouldn't get any credit for it."

"By the way, your Chen family still has plenty of food, why don't you take some out for everyone to eat? Please share some with us, we would be very grateful."

……

Chen Zhihua was so badly criticized by everyone that he almost couldn't lift his head.

He was resentful, saying, "I was just saying it."

"We were just saying it."

Someone retorted with a comment and then left.

Everyone else also kept their distance from the Chen family, their disdain evident in their eyes.

They just ate someone's food, and before they've even digested it, they're already complaining that it wasn't good enough or that they didn't give them enough. How shameless!

Chen Zhihua's face flushed red. These people.

Just then, the escorts came over and urged them to set off immediately.

Without delay, the group quickly packed their things and set off.

Because they had eaten oily food these past two days, everyone had a lot more energy when walking.

Lin Mo also received the news.

She twitched the corner of her mouth, a hint of mockery appearing on her face:

"Sure enough, there are always greedy people who want more."

A bowl of oily soup is better than eating wild vegetables all day.

"That's human nature. If you give, they'll want more." Xu Wuyan scoffed.

"A small favor is appreciated, but a large one breeds resentment."

Xu Pingan nodded, "These people are only a small part."

But most people know how to be grateful.

Lin Mo stretched lazily. "I didn't expect them to be grateful."

The corners of her mouth curled up:

"Build up favorability, understand?"

Once you've built up enough goodwill, you'll be at her beck and call.

Xu Wuyan raised an eyebrow; his wife always surprised him.

Lin Mo, oblivious to Xu Wuyan's expression, was deep in thought.

In three more days, we will be out of this area.

In the past three days, everything was in chaos.

I doubt it will happen in this lifetime.

Lin Mo hesitated, not entirely sure.

She looked at Xu Pingan and said in a low voice:

"These next few days, pay close attention to your surroundings. If anything seems amiss, let me know."

Xu Pingan nodded, hesitated for a moment, and lowered his voice:

"Zhao Tong from the Zhou family got into the carriage of the escort officer with yellow teeth last night."

It was a secret matter, but he saw it.

Lin Mo frowned; what was bound to happen had finally happened.

In her past life, after Zhao Tong's son died, she also sought out Big Yellow Teeth. She never expected that this would happen earlier in this life.

Zhao Tong... she's a complete lunatic.

She will not let go of the person she believes killed her son.

In this lifetime, I will always be on her list.

"Ping An, don't tell the young mistress these dirty things. Don't dirty her ears." Xu Wuyan said with a look of disdain.

Xu Pingan lowered his head. "Yes."

Lin Mo rolled her eyes; she had seen far more filthy things than anyone else.

What does this count as?

After giving Xu Wuyan a disdainful look, Lin Mo looked at Xu Ping'an:

"Don't listen to him. Just remember to tell me if you have any news."

Also, keep an eye on what each other is doing.

After Xu Pingan left, Lin Mo looked at Xu Wuyan with disdain:

"I am not a weak woman, I don't need your protection."

"Yeah, I know, after all, you killed a wild boar with one punch." Xu Wuyan raised an eyebrow, a slight smile playing on his lips.

"But madam, I need your protection."

Lin Mo, “…”

Do you want face?

Forget it, this man has been acting very frivolously lately. Talking to him will only lead you astray.

"Xu Wuyan, I'm serious, you better be serious." Lin Mo glanced at him and shook her head.

"These next few days are likely to be very turbulent."

Xu Wuyan's smile faded. "Really?"

"You doubt me?" Lin Mo twitched the corner of her mouth:

"Believe it or not, I'll make you slap in the face right now?"

molar!

After going through so much, this guy still doubts himself. What else could he be but asking for a beating?

If it's safe now, why would she bother with such calculations?

You think you're safe once you leave here?

Lin Mo gave him a disdainful look. Wrong, that was just the beginning of trouble.

This guy is actually a jinx; there are people everywhere who want to kill him.

She couldn't understand why these people wanted to kill him.

Xu Wuyan, "..."

He seemed to sense contempt; his wife seemed to despise him.

But Xu Wuyan believed her when she said she was being contradicted.

His expression turned serious as he approached Lin Mo, lowering his voice:

"Madam, what will happen next?"

Lin Mo hesitated.

Should I tell him?

Tell him, will the course of events change as a result?

After hesitating for a moment, Lin Mo sighed:

"Many people will die, right? Maybe I'll die too."

In her past life, Zhao Tong killed quite a few people.

Because she had always worked like a servant, finding food for the Shen family and serving them, she didn't know much about this matter.

All that is known is that Zhao Tong went mad. In order to avenge her son, she followed a guard and killed many people.

Upon hearing that something was wrong with her, a murderous glint appeared on Xu Wuyan's face:

"Zhao Tong, is that right?"

Xu Wuyan quickly guessed the answer.

He is not a fool.

When Xu Pingan mentioned Zhao Tong, her emotions were clearly off. No problem? Xu Wuyan didn't believe it.

She would endanger Lin Mo, so she...

The murderous intent in Xu Wuyan's eyes intensified. "I'll go kill her."

Lin Mo didn't miss the murderous intent in his eyes and shook her head:

"If you act rashly before anything happens, you'll only give others ammunition against you."

Don't worry, I can protect myself.

Xu Wuyan's eyes softened slightly. "Lin Mo, we are husband and wife, you can try to rely on me."

Lin Mo was stunned; she hadn't expected him to suddenly say this to her.

Suddenly, I felt a little lost.

After regaining her senses, she awkwardly turned her head away and stammered:

“We were forced to marry. Once we are in exile, you can give me a letter of divorce. I promise I will never bother you, really.”

Because, soon he will meet the girl he likes.

Having been given a second chance at life, she didn't want to wrong herself and become a bitter, resentful woman.

The world is so wonderful, she wants to go out and see it.

Is she trying to distance herself from me?

Xu Wuyan was inexplicably displeased, his voice low and somber, "Madam, don't even think about getting a divorce, it's impossible."

"Don't speak so confidently, or you'll be proven wrong." Lin Mo glanced at him.

"If you don't want to give it to me, it's the same if I do."

Seeing that he still wanted to speak, he shook his head:

"I'm tired. I'll get in the carriage and rest for a while. You can walk slowly by yourself!"
