"Stop crying, what are you crying for? As long as you're alive, you're not in dire straits! Hurry up, go into the village and see if there's anything to eat, drink, or use."

"Let's find a clean room and stay there for a day to rest."

At the crucial moment, Aunt Chi stepped forward and shouted a few words of abuse.

They're not dead yet, so they haven't reached a dead end!

"Yes, Mother is right, I'll go look for it right now!"

"Big brother, I'm going too."

"Walk."

The group split up instantly and went around to look for it.

A group of children and Grandma Li remained where they were, but for safety reasons, Li Mingfan stayed behind to protect and look after the children.

Aunt Chi specially took Chi Tang and went to find her alone.

Upon arriving at a courtyard, Chi Tang immediately understood and took out two bottles of milk from the small courtyard in her space. The mother and daughter shared the milk.

Then Chi Tang frantically took things out again.

Two pots.

A bag of coarse flour.

A bag of whole grains.

A small bag of 20-pound japonica rice.

Ten pounds of mung beans.

There's also a bag of rock sugar.

A pile of apples and big sweet pears were scattered all over the ground.

"That's enough, that's enough, girl. Don't take any more, or it'll arouse suspicion," Aunt Chi quickly stopped her daughter.

Her daughter is truly a treasure bestowed upon her by God.

Chi Tang chuckled, then took out another box of ice cream from the refrigerator and shared it with Aunt Chi.

After only a few bites, Aunt Chi hesitated.

Such delicious food, why not share it with your children and grandchildren, and instead eat it all by yourself?

Chi Tang tried her best to say, "I'll give it to you, hehe."

"Tangbao, are you saying you'll give it to your brothers later?"

"That's right!"

Aunt Chi pinched her daughter's chubby little face and smiled lovingly.

I occasionally share a spoonful of ice cream with my daughter.

This stuff tastes so comforting.

After finishing her meal, Aunt Chi got up, dusted herself off, and ran outside happily, shouting, "Everyone come quick! Look what I found here!"

Soon after, someone appeared.

Eat Chi Dasao and Li Mingfan's wife.

Each of them was carrying two wooden stools and two door curtains.

It seems we haven't found anything useful.

"Mom, what did you find?" Aunt Chi jogged over, with Li Mingfan's wife following closely behind.

Once inside the courtyard, the young wife was overjoyed to see the various odds and ends scattered around on the ground.

Li Mingfan's wife even slapped her thigh hard, "Oh my god, it's true. I'll go call someone to move it right now."

There are so many, they can't take them all with them.

As soon as she left, Chi Tang immediately took out a bottle of ice-cold milk from her spatial storage and handed it to Chi's sister-in-law: "Kai, this is good."

Eat up!

While no one was around.

Sister-in-law Chi was stunned for a moment.

"Eldest daughter-in-law, drink up, this will fill you up," Aunt Chi urged.

Sister-in-law Chi didn't mince words; she unscrewed the cap and gulped it down in one go.

The empty bottle was taken back by Chi Tang.

Wiping the milk stains from the corner of her mouth, Sister-in-law Chi squatted down and kissed Chi Tang's chubby cheeks, saying with a smile, "Our Tangtang is so amazing! If it weren't for Tangtang, we don't know if we would still be alive!"

Although I believed in Tangtang when I left.

But who doesn't have some doubts in their heart?

I can't believe it, it's actually true!

Chi Tang proudly puffed out her little chest and happily shook her head.

A little while later, they did the same thing again, spending time alone with their eldest, third, fourth, and fifth brothers for a while, and then all the brothers got to drink milk.

As for the children, they weren't given any to drink, for fear they might let slip that it would be discovered by Sister-in-law Chi and the Li family.

It's not that I'm keeping an eye on the Li family.

The truth is that Chi Tang's abilities are too extraordinary, and if others find out, they are worried that it will threaten Chi Tang.

Finally, everyone settled down in the largest courtyard in the village.

The pots, pans, and everything else were still there, but the gold, silver, valuables, and grain had all been looted.

It's unclear whether the family fled or was killed by bandits.

After the two families arrived, they tidied up the yard a bit and then started cooking.

Having finally settled down temporarily, it's only natural to have a good meal.

A pot of brown rice, a pot of dark-colored steamed buns, and a pot of mung bean soup.

As soon as the mung bean soup was cooked, a group of children shared it all.

Chi Sanhe caught seven or eight big fish in the river at the edge of the village, which made the boys very happy.

Steamed, braised, and served with fish soup.

The whole family ate with gusto, their mouths greasy and their hearts overflowing with satisfaction.

After dinner, Chi Dashan and his men took the kids to the river at the village entrance to bathe and play in the water.

The woman was boiling water in the yard while she took a bath.

We were covered in dust from the long journey; even if we didn't have fleas, we definitely smelled bad.

Aunt Chi washed Chi Tang first.

The chubby baby was stripped naked and placed in a large wooden tub, where his little bottom and toes were washed.

Chi Tang was so shy that she kept struggling, splashing water all over Aunt Chi.

He only behaved after getting two slaps on the butt.

As it grew late, Sister-in-law Chi called the men, young and old, back to their homes.

Who knew that Chi Sanhe would bring back another bucket of fish.

"What great luck today, so many fish!"

"Yes, yes, there are so many fish!"

The women looked at the bucket of fish with a mixture of joy and worry.

This fish can't be kept here.

It's even more inconvenient to carry on the road.

Are we going to eat it all at once?

"If you gut the fish and soak it in salt water, it can be preserved for many days," Grandma Li suddenly said. "Then you can make dried fish, which is delicious with porridge."
