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

Knowing that the Shen family had disposed of Madam Shen's body without hesitation, Lin Mo did not show much emotion.

The Shen family has always been cold and selfish.

I was already surprised enough that they didn't abandon Madam Shen when she was beaten to the point of near death.

So nowadays, it's perfectly normal to throw away the body after someone dies.

After all, they weren't the only ones who did this along the way.

Being laid to rest during exile is a luxury.

As long as they don't bother me or come looking for trouble, I can't be bothered with them.

Why not find something to do while on the go, and enrich yourself?

Glancing at Xu Wuyan's stern face, Lin Mo swallowed back her idea of ​​having him as her sparring partner.

Forget it, I'll figure it out myself first.

They walked very late that day before they reached a place where they could set up camp.

It was still a dilapidated big house, just as neglected for years, covered in dust and cobwebs.

Everyone has long been accustomed to it.

Everyone will then go about their own business.

Lin Mo was a little tired today, so she didn't want to move. After helping to tidy up the place, she sat down to rest.

Just then, a few women of decent appearance quietly walked toward the direction where the escorts were.

Xu Mengxian happened to witness this scene.

Unable to resist, he spat on the ground to express his disgust.

Then, unable to resist, he ran to Lin Mo's side:

"Sister-in-law, why do you think these people are willing to degenerate? Aren't they afraid of being ridiculed?"

"Xiaoxian." Xu Xianyu frowned.

The ancient saying goes, "Do not listen to others' faults, do not look at others' shortcomings, and do not speak ill of others."

Don't gossip about other people's affairs behind their backs; just focus on doing your own thing.

Xu Mengxian stuck out her tongue and sat obediently to the side:

"Sister, I understand."

I just can't stand how they choose to degenerate.

"You look down on them?" Lin Mo glanced at Xu Mengxian, a half-smile on her face.

“You’ve never experienced hardship, you’ve never been a mother, what right do you have to talk about them behind their backs?”

To be honest, you're not as good as them. Don't advise others to be kind if you haven't experienced their suffering; and even if you have, you may not be as kind as they are. Think about this carefully.

Xu Mengxian blushed and stared at Lin Mo in disbelief.

Is her sister-in-law scolding her?

"What, do you think I'm wrong?" Lin Mo sneered.

"They are willing to do such things for their children, to get food for their children, to keep their children alive. Can you do that?"

So, what right do you have to despise and look down on them?

“But what they did was wrong,” Xu Mengxian retorted.

"If there's nothing to eat, go find some. Wild vegetables can fill your stomach; there are plenty of things to eat."

Lin Mo suddenly didn't want to talk to her.

He got up, moved to another seat, and immediately closed his eyes.

Naïve and foolish, beyond redemption!

Xu Mengxian looked at Xu Xianyu with a blank expression and a wronged look, and asked softly:

"Sis, did I say something wrong?"

She clearly found plenty of wild vegetables to eat those days and didn't starve to death.

Why is my sister-in-law ignoring me again?

Xu Mengxian completely forgot that during the days when she had to dig for wild vegetables to fill her stomach, she could still eat two cornbread buns every day, and Xu Xianyu would also secretly give her food from time to time.

“Wrong, terribly wrong.” Xu Xianyu shook her head, looking at the still somewhat naive Xu Mengxian with some disappointment:

"If food is so easy to find, how come so many people go hungry and starve to death every day?"

We got there because my sister-in-law and older brother took care of the food, you know?

If I asked you to go find food right now, you definitely wouldn't find anything.

My sister-in-law is right. They sold themselves out of love for their children.

She recognized them; they all had several children, and the children were all quite young.

Xu Mengxian suddenly stood up. "I'm going out to find something to eat."

After saying that, he lifted his foot and walked outside.

Xu Xianyu tried to call out to her, but Lin Mo stopped him.

“I’ll follow her,” said Granny Yun. “I’ll watch from a distance so she won’t notice.”

Seeing Lin Mo nod, Granny Yun then chased after her.

She looked at Xu Xianyu:

"Leave her alone."

Some people just have simple ideas.

To survive, one might even kill; selling one's body is nothing.

A dark look flashed in Lin Mo's eyes before she closed them.

……

When Shen Qingyun saw Xu Wuyan return carrying a pheasant, Shen Liuli's words flashed through his mind.

Yes, this marriage is an alliance between the Shen family and the Xu family. What does it have to do with Lin Mo?

She had already severed ties with the Shen family before her marriage.

Therefore, what he needs to do now is to set things right and marry the real Shen family girl to her.

Yes, it's about setting things right.

Let's correct this marriage arrangement.

Shen Qingyun stopped Xu Wuyan, "Your Highness..."

next second.

boom!

Xu Wuyan kicked Shen Qingyun away and sneered:

"I forgot to emphasize that, just like my wife, members of the Shen family are not allowed to appear within three zhang of me. If they get close, I will beat them."

He left immediately after saying that.

You can tell at a glance that this kind of person is up to no good.

Shen Qingyun, who was kicked away, turned black with pain.

It hurts!

Shen Qingyun looked up, her face contorted as she watched Xu Wuyan's departing figure.

That damned Xu Wuyan is ruthless; he didn't say a word and just attacked.

He understood Xu Wuyan's attitude.

He's on Lin Mo's side, so there's no point in talking about it; he won't admit it.

"Great uncle."

Just as Shen Qingyun scrambled to his feet, Shen Liuli ran over.

"Did you say that?"

Her voice carried a hint of excitement.

Because of the distance, she only saw her uncle blocking Xu Wuyan; she didn't see anything else.

Only then did he notice Shen Qingyun's unpleasant expression, and he slightly suppressed his excitement:

"Uncle, what's wrong? You look so pale."

"Shen Liuli, the matter is settled, don't interfere in their affairs anymore."

Shen Qingyun, his face dark, turned and strode away.

Damn it, if he got any closer to them, he was afraid he'd lose his life.

Shen Liuli's face immediately darkened.

So, he didn't agree?

She turned her head to look in the direction of the Xu family, a hint of hostility flashing in her eyes.

The cuckoo has taken over the magpie's nest!

That woman doesn't deserve it.

……

Xu Wuyan frowned when he returned and didn't see Xu Mengxian.

After Xu Xianyu explained, Xu Wuyan remained silent.

This girl is so troublesome.

"Your sister-in-law did the right thing. She's stupid. She wasn't satisfied with just one lesson, she kept doing it. She needs to be taught a lesson." Xu Wuyan said disdainfully.

"None of us have the right to criticize others. All we can do is mind our own business."

Xu Xianyu nodded, "I know, that's what my sister-in-law said too."

Xu Wuyan nodded, telling her to go about her business, and then sat down next to Lin Mo:

"Madam, are you angry?"

Lin Mo opened her eyes. "Which eye of yours saw that I was angry?"

For your stupid sister? Is she even worth it?

"not worth."

Xu Wuyan nodded, then took out several bright red hawthorns from his pocket:

"Eat?"

Lin Mo's eyes lit up, and she reached out to take it without hesitation.

Xu Wuyan's eyes crinkled into a smile. "On the way back, I passed by the river and washed it. It's clean and can be eaten directly."

Lin Mo nodded, took one, and took a small bite.

That sour taste...

She squinted her eyes contentedly; it was delicious.

Xu Wuyan placed the remaining hawthorns into her hand, saying, "Eat slowly."

I glanced at Granny Qin, who had already prepared the pheasant:

"Madam, chicken, would you like chicken soup or roast chicken?"

"Chicken soup, please." Lin Mo spat out the hawthorn seeds, looking completely satisfied.

"Boil some soup so that everyone can have some to warm their bodies."

Xu Wuyan nodded and asked Granny Qin to make chicken soup.

As for the little incident involving the Shen family looking for him, he didn't mention it to bother her.

That kick was enough to make Shen Qingyun understand his attitude.

No matter what he wants to say, I'm on Lin Mo's side.

If he can't figure it out, then he's just stupid and deserves a beating.

As for us, ha, a punching bag delivered to our door for free. In short, we might as well beat them up.

Just as the aroma of chicken soup wafted through the air, Xu Mengxian returned, looking rather awkward.

At this moment, she was in a disheveled state.

Not only was his hair disheveled, but his face and clothes were also covered in dust.

Xu Wuyan glanced at her; she looked pitiful.

If she were the only member of the Xu family to be exiled, this girl probably wouldn't survive.

"you……"

He was about to speak when she walked past him toward Lin Mo, and he swallowed back the words that were about to come out.

Well, let women handle their own affairs.

"sister in law."

Xu Mengxian called out cautiously, and when Lin Mo opened her eyes, she lowered her head guiltily:

“I was wrong, you’re right, I shouldn’t have said those things about them.”

It's really, really hard to find.

In the dead of winter, there's hardly any wild vegetables, let alone green grass.

Just now, quite a few people were digging up grass roots to fill their stomachs.

She tried, and after digging for a long time, her hands blistered from gripping a stick and scratching the ground, she only managed to dig a little bit.

After washing it, it's almost impossible to swallow one.

My sister-in-law is right to scold me. She hasn't experienced the hardships others have gone through, so she has no right to criticize them.

They did all this simply to survive.

Whether she knows she's wrong or not is none of my business; Lin Mo has no interest in teaching her how to be a person.

She's such a fool, let whoever wants to teach her do it; she's not going to put up with it.

He stood up and walked towards Granny Qin:

"Granny Qin, is it ready to eat? I'm hungry."
