At the Zhan family’s side, the whole family was eating greasy fried food happily.

Yang was putting the last bite into her mouth and was about to clap her hands and go to rest when she saw a figure walking towards her from the volunteers' side in the distance.

Yang's eyebrows jumped. She thought no one looked like a good person.

"Ayao, look at that guy," Yang called out to Zhan Xiaoyao beside her, pointing at Wang Tou who was walking towards them, "He must have seen that we have some delicious food here, so he came here to ask for it."

"Hurry up and ask your sister-in-law to pack up the rest, and then ask her later, and she will insist that we don't have it."

Yang ordered Zhan XIAO.

Zhan Xiaoyao also saw Wang Tou walking towards them, but she didn't think he was begging for food. "Mom, that's impossible, aren't those volunteers ashamed to talk to us?"

"They think we are prisoners. They themselves have high moral character. Why would they come to us to ask for food?"

Yang stretched out her finger and poked Zhan Xiaoyao's forehead in dismay.

"You, your father and grandfather have raised you to be too naive."

"Is there anyone in this world who has truly good character?"

"They are just some people who are seeking fame and reputation..."

While Yang was educating Zhan Xiaoyao, Wang Tou had already walked in front of Guo and Lin, his eyes fixed on a few fried dough sticks placed on a clean cloth.

"Daughter-in-law of the Zhan family," Wang Tou cleared his throat, "some of the volunteers over there have fainted from hunger. They are all people who volunteered to go to Mobei to guard the border. Do you have any food that you can spare for them?"

After saying this, he stared at the remaining fried dough sticks.

Guo suddenly became furious.

Their Zhan family had already had unpleasant experiences with those volunteers, and those people had even tampered with their fodder!

Now he is so shameless as to come to them to beg for food!

Seeing that Guo was about to jump up, Lin hurriedly grabbed her.

"What is this officer saying?" Lin stood up and spoke softly. She came from a prominent family, and although her tone was not as harsh as Guo's, she had an aura that should not be underestimated.

"Everyone knows how the grass we used for kindling got wet with urine last night!"

Lin was neither humble nor arrogant.

Although it was not explicitly stated that it was done by volunteers, the attitude was made clear.

"That's because you didn't take good care of your own fodder!" When Wang Tou saw that the Zhan family blamed the volunteers for this, he first felt unfair for them.

Hua'er and her people are such kind people, how could they do such a thing!

"Alas," Lin sighed, "We didn't take good care of the fodder, so we'll take the blame ourselves. That's why we didn't make a big deal about it today."

Wangtou nodded.

It seems that there are still some sensible people in the Zhan family.

Lin looked at him and nodded, her eyes flashing with coldness, "Sir, we prisoners understand this principle, how can those volunteers not understand it?"

Wang Tou looked puzzled.

Understand what?

Didn’t they say that the fodder being wetted by human urine had nothing to do with the volunteers?

Lin sneered, "We didn't take good care of the fodder, so we have to take the blame ourselves. The volunteers didn't bring good dry food, so they have to take the blame themselves too!"

Wang Tou’s face twitched. So he was waiting for him here!

"Is this even a big deal?" Wang Tou said anxiously, "Some of the volunteers have fainted from hunger, and your Zhan family has some leftover fried dough sticks. Why don't you share some with them? Are you going to watch them starve to death tonight?"

"I'll just watch them starve to death!" Guo couldn't stand Lin's tepid attitude anymore, so she took a big step forward, stood in front of Lin, and put her hands on her hips.

"You..." Wang Tou was furious and pointed at Guo. "Okay, I want everyone to judge for themselves!"

As he spoke, Wang Tou shouted loudly: "Everyone, look here, please give me some advice!"

He told the story of how some volunteers were starving to death, and how the Zhan family was guarding the leftover fried rice at home and not sharing it with anyone.

"Everyone, listen! The Zhan family claims to be a family of generals, but they are so unwilling to help someone in need!"

"How can such a person protect the country?" Wang Tou asked loudly, "How can he be called a general protecting the country? He is clearly a corrupt official who lives in luxury while people freeze to death on the streets..."

Bang!

The crisp sound of slapping echoed in the silent night.

"Sister-in-law..." Guo stared blankly at Lin as she surpassed her, stepped forward, and slapped Wang in the face.

Every time, it was her sister-in-law who taught her not to be impulsive.

But today, my sister-in-law was the first to act impulsively...

"I was polite to you before because of Lord Jiang Hu and the others. They are servants, but you, who do you think you are?" Lin's slightly pale face flushed with anger.

"My Zhan family is a family of loyal warriors who helped the current emperor end the chaos of the previous dynasty and usher in the current peace."

"From my grandfather to my father, and then to my husband..." When she mentioned her husband, Lin choked up, her beautiful eyes sparkled, and she calmed down, "to my two younger brothers."

"They died or were injured for your peaceful life."

"Not only did you leave us widows to be bullied by you, but you also turned my loyal family into corrupt officials!"

"Today, I will make this decision for my elders!" Lin turned and looked at the other two families, "Whoever needs the remaining fried dough sticks, just come over and say a word of loyalty to the Zhan family, and I will give you one with both hands!"

After the words were spoken, silence fell.

Shen Zhaozhao looked at Lin in the firelight and sighed softly. She originally thought that her sister-in-law Lin was a smooth-talking lady from a wealthy family who always followed the rules.

Unexpectedly, there are also people with strong bones.

"Zhao Zhao," Zhan Nanxing said with some worry.

"Put it away." Shen Zhaozhao patted him and motioned him to look in the direction of the Cao family.

"good!"

A clear female voice sounded, and Cao Ya walked over first, saying with a smile: "The Zhan family is full of loyalty and righteousness, there is no doubt about that."

Lin choked up and tried to get the fried dough sticks, but Guo got there first.

"Sister Cao, take it." Because Cao Ya and Shen Zhaozhao were close, Guo stuffed three fried dumplings into Cao Ya's mouth in one breath.

“Everyone has seen that the Zhan family, for the sake of their own family’s reputation, is trying to bribe people with a little favor…” Wang Tou wanted to say more, but was interrupted by Cao Ya.

Cao Ya took a step forward and raised his eyes. Those dark eyes were bottomless, like a whirlpool, hiding many emotions. But when he looked carefully, they were like a deep pool, calm and peaceful, and nothing could be seen.

"Hey, escort leader, you've been used as a gun several times, how come you didn't notice it at all?"

Cao Ya sneered, picked up a fried dumpling and took a big bite.

“It’s so delicious, there are only three left!”

"Come quickly if you want to eat."

Cao Ya helped in shouting, gave Wang Tou a mocking glance, and went back to Cao's house.

As soon as one person took the lead, the others followed immediately.

"I want the loyalty of the Zhan family!"

"Why did that little girl from the Cao family take three? Wasn't it agreed that she could only take one..."

"She has a good relationship with our Third Young Master's wife." Mrs. Guo handed out a fried dough stick and retorted, "The things belong to our Zhan family. You can give them however you want and to whomever you want!"

Every word he said was a sarcasm towards Wang Tou and the volunteers.

Wanting to eat the Zhan family's food for free is a foolish dream!

The last three fried dumplings were quickly divided.

Wang Tou's face turned blue and red, and the slap marks on his face were clearly visible.

Here on the donkey cart, Shen Zhaozhao watched a good show from afar. He had just finished eating the fried dumplings and clapped his hands to go back to rest, but was stopped by Jiang Hu:

"Miss Shen, please go over and give Lao Wang a message."

"Just to tell you, I share the same opinion as that girl from the Cao family. He's been used by someone. If he continues to act foolishly like this, we won't even be able to be brothers anymore!"
