Chapter 90 The Chen Family Comes to Discuss a Deal

Jun Moye looked at Chen Wenlin who was so humble, and his heart was a little complicated, but then there was a hint of pleasure in his eyes. Father, mother, if you meet people from the Chen family on the road to the underworld, don't forgive them easily.

Then he walked towards his carriage and looked at the carriage not far away, where his family was waiting for him.

Su Hanchu looked at him coming up with two strings of candied haws and spoke in surprise.

"Why would you buy candied haws? And if you bring back two bunches, there won't be enough for several children."

Jun Moye walked over the goods and sat next to her, handing her the candied haws.

"This isn't for them, it's for you, eat it!"

Su Hanchu was stunned for a moment holding the candied haws.

"For me?"

This is the first time I’ve bought food for someone, Jun Moye said with his head down.

"Well, eat quickly."

Su Hanchu looked at the candied haws in his hand and couldn't help but smile. He actually saw that she wanted to eat candied haws.

Slowly put it to your mouth and take a bite. The sour and sweet feeling comes up, and all your taste buds seem to open up.

Then he handed the candied haws to Jun Moye's mouth.

"You eat one."

Jun Moye shook his head slightly, wondering why he would eat something that children like.

Su Hanchu spoke coquettishly upon seeing this.

"Take one. It's delicious. You'll be very happy after eating it."

As she spoke, she pursed her lips and looked at Jun Moye eagerly.

Seeing this, Jun Moye had no choice but to hold her hand holding the candied haws and took a bite of it.

Su Hanchu kept watching his expression.

"Is it tasty?"

Jun Moye looked at his own reflection in her eyes and reached out to rub her hair.

"Mm, it's delicious. Eat more. I'll buy you more later."

Upon hearing this, Su Hanchu bit one himself and let him bite another.

"Two skewers, help me eat some, otherwise I won't be able to finish them when we get to the inn."

Seeing this, Jun Moye had no choice but to eat another one. Although he didn't like this kind of sour and sweet thing before, he would always subconsciously take a bite when she fed him.

After the two of them finished eating the candied haws, Jun Moye looked at the inn not far away.

He took out a handkerchief from his arms and wiped the corners of Su Hanchu's mouth.

Then he wiped his own before getting out of the carriage and helping her out.

When they arrived at the inn, Su Hanchu and Jun Moye first gave Wan Chatou a pot of good wine and a box of cakes.

Only then did they distribute the purchased clothes to the people from the Jun and Su families. Of course, Chuntao and Jiang Like also received some clothes.

This time with the carriage, Su Hanchu bought a few more quilts. Basically, two people from the Jun and Su families can have one quilt, and Chuntao and Jiang Like can share one. There shouldn't be any problems getting to the Northwest.

Early the next morning.

Captain You and Captain Ning also rushed to the inn. After counting the number of people, they continued on their way. Along the way, some died of cold, some died of starvation, some died of illness, and together with those who had died in encounters with bandits before, only half of the exiles were still alive. They were too lazy to form groups and just continued on their journey together.

Although they had already written a memorial and submitted it regarding the delays caused by snow and bandits, the Chinese New Year was approaching, and the Youchatou group still wanted to celebrate the New Year in the northwest, so they sped up their journey.

The Jun and Su families had enough food, so the children and the elderly all sat in the carriage where the luggage was placed, which made the journey much easier. However, the bag was always carried by Jun Moye or Ping'er.

Several escorts looked at Su Hanchu's arrangements but didn't say anything. After all, they were the ones who gave the horses to others, so how they used them was their business. Moreover, whatever food Su Hanchu and his wife had, they would share with the escorts. They would choose to turn a blind eye to some things because they were grateful for the food they received.

After learning that the steamed buns were to be distributed, the Jun and Su families no longer shared the porridge and just took care of themselves.

However, Su Hanchu is still willing to help if someone needs to borrow a pot to boil water or a fire, or if they come across edible wild vegetables and fruits, Su Hanchu will also teach everyone how to recognize them.

Because many people in the town had bought some food, even if some people didn't have money, they had steamed buns distributed by the officials and endless boiled water, so life was not so difficult.

The Chen family had the hardest time. Except for Chen Sipan who followed Ning Chatou, everyone else could only eat dry and hard steamed buns and could not even drink hot water.

There was a small pot in the main house of the Fang family, but only Chen Fang and Chen Wenlin could get some hot water to drink.

The others could only watch.

Chen Fang looked at the Jun family's carriage many times with jealousy in her eyes. These days, everyone was excluding the Chen family and the Fang family's eldest branch. Not to mention helping each other, the Chen family couldn't even borrow fire. No one knew why. The weather was cold and rainy, and sometimes there was even rain and snow. The firewood was wet, but the Jun family could easily start a fire.

The fire in the main house of the Chen and Fang families just wouldn't start. Even after it started, it would go out again. Every time the fire was started, it would happen repeatedly, making people cry.

It was the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month, and the Chinese New Year was only two days away, but we still had not made it to the northwest, and the heavy snow had started to fall again.

Several more people from the Chen family and the Fang family's eldest branch died along the way. The Chen family, which originally had the largest population, now has only one-fifth left, making it the family with the smallest population.

They didn't have time to arrive in the northwest to celebrate the New Year, and several of the officers were in a bad mood. Officer You coldly announced that they would be settled in a dilapidated temple.

The Su and Jun families found a corner, quickly picked up firewood and started cooking. They were lucky today, Jun Moye found a frozen pheasant, and Su Yuanzhe also found a pheasant and a few pheasant eggs.

I cooked two pots of chicken porridge and boiled eggs to share with the children.

Just as the Jun and Su families were eating meat porridge and potatoes, Chen Wenlin came over with Chen Fangshi.

This is more garbage coming to add to the clutter. Su Hanchu deliberately made gurgling sounds while drinking porridge.

"Wow, this meat porridge smells so good..."

Jun Moye looked at her smiling face with a slight upward curve of his lips, showing a bit of doting.

Chen Fang's expression suddenly turned ugly. Thinking that she had to ask for help from others, she swallowed the words that were about to come out of her mouth.

"Mo Ye, your aunt wants to discuss a deal with you."

Jun Moye glanced at the two of them coldly.

"Mrs. Chen is so lucky. She miraculously survived in such a harsh environment. She is indeed a scourge that will last for thousands of years."

Chen Fangshi didn't expect Jun Moye to speak so harshly to her, an elder.

"Jun Moye, I am still your aunt after all. How could you become so rude now? If your mother were here, she would be extremely disappointed."
