Upon hearing that there would be no goat milk to drink, Zhu Zinan started crying again and pushed away the meat soup in Wen Xiuying's hand.

He rolled over and sat on the ground, kicked his feet hard, pounded the ground with his hands, and shouted loudly.

"I want to drink goat's milk."

Wen Xiuying watched her son hit the floor, then tenderly rubbed the floor with her hand and anxiously looked at Zhu Borong.

After exchanging glances with Wen Xiuying, Zhu Borong put down his bowl and walked over to Zhu Yanyan with a smile.

"Yan Yan, I know you've suffered a lot of injustice before, but I've repented now. I just hope our family can live in harmony."

"I hope you arrive safely and healthily in the border region, do some small business, save some dowry for you, and live happily as a family."

“Your brother just wants some goat milk, so just grant his wish. I know you have a way to get him some goat milk.”

These words instantly moved Zhu Yanyan, who had never experienced family affection. She pursed her lips and hesitated as she thought about it.

Zhu Borong noticed his daughter's hesitation, patted her hand and continued, "You are my hope, and the hope of the whole family. If we hadn't listened to you, we would have been going to see the King of Hell long ago."

"Dad is very grateful for everything you have done, and I am also very fortunate to have such a blessed daughter."

After feeling her father's tenderness, Zhu Yanyan's hardened heart softened completely, and she sighed.

"Father, I can't guarantee I'll find it, but I'll try my best to think of a way."

Upon hearing that there was hope of getting to drink goat milk, Wen Xiuying nodded excitedly, "Okay, no pressure, just do your best."

After she finished speaking, she looked down and reminded Zhu Zinan, "Don't cry. Your sister got you some goat milk. Also, do you remember what your mother told you?"

After hearing her mother's words, Zhu Zinan, who was crying, thought for a while with choked sobs, and then nodded.

Wen Xiuying was very satisfied with her son's understanding and patted his head with satisfaction.

After finishing her dinner, Zhu Yanyan looked around at the pitch-black surroundings, pretended to go to the restroom, and quietly entered the woods.

After entering the forest, she led a goat out of her spatial dimension and tied it to a tree.

To prevent a repeat of the previous incident, she used a sickle to cut some branches and used them to completely cover the goat.

After finishing everything, she clapped her hands and walked towards the camp.

Wen Xiuying, who had just returned, hurriedly went up to her daughter, looked at the woods behind her, and asked excitedly.

"Yan Yan, did you have some goat milk to drink?"

Zhu Yanyan paused in confusion, then asked, "Mother, why...why do you ask that?"

Wen Xiuying was stunned for a moment, then smiled and held Zhu Yanyan's hand, "Because you are a lucky star, just like that wishing well. You can always find whatever we need."

Zhu Yanyan relaxed her guard after hearing her mother's words, and smiled proudly with her lips pursed. "Mother, I'm not a god, how could I be so magical?"

"It's getting late now. I'll try my luck again tomorrow when I go out to look for food."

Wen Xiuying nodded with a half-smile, then glanced back at Lin Zi, seemingly unintentionally.

After escorting Wen Xiuying back to her tent, Zhu Yanyan turned around and sat down in a chair, secretly letting out a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, she left it until tomorrow; otherwise, this family, being so shrewd, might have discovered something.

Meanwhile, Zhu Xixi, having eaten and drunk her fill, nestled in Old Mrs. Zhu's arms and stretched lazily.

Upon seeing Zhu Yanyan enter the woods, she excitedly thumped her arms and legs.

Her eyes curved into crescents, as if she were trying to smile.

[A sheep? It seems Zhu Yanyan failed to become a lucky charm last time, so this time she's using the good fortune of finding a ewe to reinforce her reputation!]

[Hmph! If she succeeds, that family will be doomed! Then she can swagger around again!]

Thinking about these things, Xixi felt wronged, her lips pursed, and she sobbed softly.

When will my family finally rise to prominence?!

When will Xixi finally be able to defeat the transmigrated woman who has the resources? Xixi wants to be the heroine of a wish-fulfillment novel, not a cannon fodder character!

Just as Zhu Xixi was sobbing anxiously, her round eyes filled with tears.

Grandma Zhu listened to everything she muttered in her heart, and frowned as she pondered for a moment.

Just then, the second and third brothers finished drinking the fish soup and were packing up their tools, planning to take advantage of the darkness to scout ahead.

Seeing this, Old Lady Zhu quickly handed Zhu Xixi over to Madam Sun and said anxiously, "Third son's wife, please take care of Xixi for a while. I'm going to talk to the second and third sons about something."

Sun was very fond of Zhu Xixi and happily took the child, saying, "Okay, Mother, you can leave her to me."

After handing Zhu Xixi over to Sun, Old Lady Zhu quickly went to her second and third sons and whispered instructions to them.

"Second brother, third brother, this forest is quite large. I suggest you explore the area first and see if there are any dangers."

This strange suggestion immediately piqued Zhu Chenfeng's curiosity, and he anxiously pulled his mother aside to ask her about it.

"Mother, did you see something?"

To avoid arousing her son's suspicion, Old Lady Zhu smiled and took out the map drawn on cowhide.

“Look at the location of the woods. There’s a Pear Blossom Village behind it. The villagers of Pear Blossom Village often go up the mountain to hunt.”

"There are too many people during the day, and the animals all hide. You can take advantage of this time to sneak into the forest and try your luck. You might be able to catch some prey."

The mother's explanation made them instantly realize what was going on, their eyes lit up, and they nodded in unison.

"Alright, let's greet the guards first before entering the woods."

Zhu Haotian couldn't wait to go into the forest to find wild game, and he eagerly tucked the sickle into his lower back.

After seeing that her sons believed her, Old Mrs. Zhu breathed a sigh of relief and waved to them.

"Hurry up and come back soon."

The two men, laughing, carried their bamboo baskets and tools and hurried toward the escorts, explaining their intentions.

The escorts then made a request: if they found any wild game, they should share half with the others.

In order to enter the forest and verify the information he had heard, Zhu Haotian hesitated.

Zhu Chenfeng had already agreed and pulled Zhu Haotian toward the woods.

After the two had entered the woods, Tao reluctantly turned her gaze away and sat down in front of the fire with a sigh.

"Mother, we are exiled criminals, why should the second and third sons go out and risk their lives?"

"Even if we encounter bandits, we have neither silver nor food, and we have escorts to protect us, so what are we worried about?"

"It's so late, what if..."

Old Mrs. Zhu sat down next to Mrs. Tao and handed her the milky white fish soup.

Do you know why those two hunters targeted Xixi?

Tao pursed her lips as she took the fish soup, then shook her head in confusion, "I don't know."

Upon hearing this, Grandma Zhu touched the heads of her two grandsons with a solemn expression and explained in a heavy tone.

"Although we only traveled for a month, we encountered many refugees along the way. Many of them were in worse condition than us, starving and in a pitiful state."

"When people are extremely hungry, they will do anything, and it is not uncommon for them to exchange their own children to eat each other."

“Our tribe consists mostly of children and women. If we really encounter bandits, do you think the escorts will take care of us?”

Her mother-in-law's words jolted Sun Shi awake. As if realizing something, she looked up in horror.
