Aunt Ren stared blankly at Tang's mother, tears streaming down her face.

"You're right. I can't let my children die without ever finding their way home. I have to go find them!"

The two embraced and wept bitterly, releasing their pent-up pain.

The three children were so frightened that they didn't dare to move and sat there looking at each other.

Once the two had calmed down, Lin Zao took out the rice balls, braised meat and braised eggs that she had prepared beforehand as lunch, and told everyone to eat first before setting off.

"I won't eat anymore. Thank you for saving me. I have no way to repay you. Once I find my children... I will definitely find you and repay you."

When Aunt Ren saw the food Lin Zao took out, she was unwilling to leave it. In this day and age, who doesn't fight tooth and nail for a bite to eat? Food is so precious!

"Aunt Ren, please don't be so polite. Since we've met, it must be fate. You'll have to eat your fill before you have a chance to repay us!"

Lin Zao shoved the food into her hands without giving her a chance to refuse.

Aunt Ren knew their good intentions, and with tears in her eyes, she ate the food bite by bite. It had been a long time since she had eaten such a good meal.

After finishing her meal, Aunt Ren prepared to leave.

"I heard that my daughter was sold to Ganzhou by the prefect's wife, and I plan to go there to find her first! I wonder where you benefactors are headed? I will come to find you after I have settled down!"

Tang's mother and Lin Zao exchanged a glance and smiled slightly.

After traveling for more than a month, they encountered several groups of bandits along the way. Each time, Lin Zao would preemptively shoot and kill several of them. The bandits were so frightened by Lin Zao's exquisite weapons that they fled in panic and dared not provoke them again.

Thus, relying on the intimidation of modern weapons, Lin Zao led the group safely to Ganzhou.

Lin Zao only breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the city gate of Ganzhou Prefecture. She had been on high alert the whole way.

Now she could finally relax. Lin Zao's face was full of exhaustion. All she wanted to do now was find an inn and get a good night's sleep.

"Mother, Aunt Ren! We've arrived in Ganzhou!"

Finally, after queuing up, they entered the city. Lin Zao planned to take Xiao Bao home first, as his family must be worried sick after so long.

"Xiao Bao, I remember you said that Zui Xiao Lou is owned by your family. Shall I take you home first?"

"No, I want you all to come back with me! Auntie~ please come home with me~"

Xiao Bao quickly hugged Hu Tou and Ya Ya, afraid that Lin Zao would separate them, and even started to act cute.

“We need to find a place to stay and won’t be leaving Ganzhou for the time being. Once we’re settled, can I bring Hutou and Yaya to visit you? Or you can come visit us if you want.”

Lin Zao patiently coaxed the chubby boy, while Tang's mother and Aunt Ren sat in the mule cart watching the show.

"You can come stay at my house, it's very big!"

"That's Xiaobao's house. It would be very inconvenient for us to stay there. Be a good boy and listen to me. Auntie will cook something delicious for you when she comes to visit!"

Seeing that Lin Zao had made up her mind, Xiao Bao frowned and remained silent, pouting the whole way.

Lin Zao inquired about Zuixiaolou and was surprised to find that it was the largest restaurant in Ganzhou, and it was said to have a powerful background.

When Lin Zao, a modern person, actually saw Zuixiao Tower, he was somewhat surprised.

The three-story restaurant, covering an area of ​​over 1,000 square meters, is decorated with carved beams and painted rafters, exuding an antique charm.

There are many passersby and tourists coming and going at the entrance, and the crowds are like clouds.

Lin Zao asked Aunt Ren to look after Tang's mother and the others in the car, while she carried the little fat boy out of the car and went straight into Zuixiaolou.

The restaurant was bustling with noise and activity. The waiters greeted the new customers warmly as they entered.

"Please, sir/madam! Please let me know what you would like to eat!"

Lin Zao glanced at the little baby in her arms, and seeing that he was still pouting and angry, she didn't ask him anything, but looked directly at Xiao Er.

"I have something important to discuss with your manager, is it convenient for you, waiter?"

"This..." The waiter seemed a little embarrassed.
