Lu Cuilan was so frightened that she didn't pay attention at all. Now she just cried and begged Lu Shiyan for help, but she couldn't explain in any way which direction the bandits ran.
Lu Shiyan was silent for a moment, then said, "I'll take you back first."
"But where are my things?" Lu Cuilan asked anxiously. "Please help your aunt find her things first."
Jiang Tangtang couldn't stand this awful mother and daughter. "Aunt, why is my husband going off to find the bandits instead of sending us back to the group first? What if we run into bandits again here? Are your things more important, or are everyone's lives more important?"
Fang Peilan was terrified by the robbers and quickly grabbed her mother's hand, saying, "Mother, let's go back to the group!"
Lu Cuilan was also afraid, so she had no choice but to go with Jiang Tangtang and Lu Shiyan to find the Fang and Lu families to meet up.
Seeing Fang Peiru's state, Old Mrs. Fang immediately wailed at Lu Shiyan, "Lu Sanlang, your cousin is truly devoted to you. If she hadn't seen you two being so affectionate, she wouldn't have run away heartbroken. Your cousin has suffered this misfortune all because of you. You have to take responsibility for her!"
Jiang Tangtang immediately retorted angrily, "Grandma, you're wrong about that. I'm my husband's lawfully wedded wife, and whatever we do is legal. Miss Fang wanted to run around, what does that have to do with us? My husband kindly went to save her, and you're blaming us for everything. You're being completely unreasonable."
Madam Su cast an admiring glance at Jiang Tangtang; the more she looked at this daughter-in-law, the more pleasing she became.
That's right. According to what Old Mrs. Fang said, their son would have to take Fang's cousin as a concubine, wouldn't he?
Jiang Tangtang turned to Lu Shiyan and said, "Husband, I think you should save your energy! Don't go out of your good intentions to help your aunt find her valuables, only to have them blame you for letting her be robbed by bandits, or come back with the items and say the quantity is wrong, implying you've hidden them. We should stay away from people like that."
Upon learning that Lu Cuilan had been robbed of all her belongings, Fang Mulin immediately became anxious. He grabbed Lu Cuilan and asked anxiously, "Is what she said true? Your things were stolen?"
Lu Cuilan wailed, "They've all been stolen! Don't stop Sanlang, let him go and help me find my things first. We can talk about other things after we find them."
As she spoke, she hurriedly said to Lu Shiyan, "Sanlang, I beg you, please go and help me find my things! They belong to our whole family."
"You're not allowed to go!" Madam Su said forcefully, "If you go, what will happen to our whole family? Besides, you're such an ungrateful person. I think your wife is right, some people just don't know what's good for them."
Lu Shiyan wasn't a particularly enthusiastic person to begin with, and given the Fang family's character, he naturally didn't want to get involved.
He took the cart from Li Shi and Brother Lu and said to Jiang Tangtang, "Get on."
Jiang Tangtang put the clothes back in her bundle, shook her head at him, and said, "It's not so hot now, I can walk by myself."
Lu Shiyan didn't say anything, turned around and carried Lu Chenyan onto the oxcart, then pushed the oxcart forward.
On the other side, several of Fang's sisters-in-law surrounded Lu Cuilan and said, "Sister-in-law, our Fang family hasn't split up yet. I told you, how come you're still hiding things?"
Zhu Dong'e looked at Old Madam Fang and said, "Mother, aren't you being too biased? When any of us from different branches of the family make money, you demand that we hand over every single copper coin, but you keep all the money that my fourth brother's family makes for themselves."
When she learned that her daughter-in-law's money had been stolen, Grandma Fang was heartbroken.
Fang Mulin was the youngest son, so he inevitably doted on him more. In addition, the couple were shrewd and calculating, and Lu Cuilan was sweet-talking, often buying her little gifts as a sign of respect, so her heart became more and more biased.
So even though they knew the fourth branch of the family had secretly saved money, they let them have it, never imagining that all the money would be stolen.
If I had known that my daughter-in-law would have taken them all if I had left them with her, I would have preferred to keep them with her!
At this moment, Old Mrs. Fang also began to dislike Lu Cuilan, feeling that her daughter-in-law was too domineering. If the things had been given to her son, they wouldn't have been stolen.
Similarly, Lu Cuilan also resented Old Madam Fang, thinking that if it weren't for her meddling, would Lu Shiyan have refused to help her find the things?
Even if we want to hold him accountable, we should at least set a timeframe! He can't just run away, can he?
The Fang family members blamed each other, creating chaos.
The Lu family ignored them and focused on continuing their journey.
Jiang Tangtang was in so much pain that she called the system again, "[How many character points do I have now? Can I get a horse if I activate the random reward now?]"
[You currently have 28 percentage points. With a little more effort, you can reach 50 character points to unlock the random rewards and increase your chances of obtaining a horse.]
Jiang Tangtang almost yelled, "[50 percentage points? Are you trying to kill me?]"
[Actually, it's not difficult. Just like what the male protagonist did earlier, if you do it a few more times, you can increase it to 50 percentage points.]
Jiang Tangtang was speechless and complained, "What kind of system are you? How can you have such strange requests?"
[Romance System!]
Jiang Tangtang muttered to herself, "Love my ass, I think you're more like a stupid system."
Please refrain from verbally abusing the system.
Jiang Tangtang screamed in her mind, "[You're spying on my thoughts again! Don't I have any privacy? I protest! From now on, no one is allowed to spy on my thoughts without my permission!]"
[It wasn't that I intentionally read it; it's just how the program is set up...]
Jiang Tangtang raised an eyebrow, "So, does that mean I'll be watching every time I hook up with a man?"
The thought of witnessing the two being intimate sent a chill down the system's spine. [That's definitely not going to happen; I'll block it.]
[If it could be blocked back then, why can't it be blocked now?]
The system reluctantly compromised: "Okay, from now on, I won't monitor your thoughts unless you call me."
Jiang Tangtang snorted. "That's more like it."
system:【……】
Jiang Tangtang wasn't in the mood to argue with it. She was thinking to herself, "Why do I feel like my public image has improved rather quickly today?"
She had a guess in her mind: [Does the character's appeal increase faster when the object of her affections is the male lead?]
You found out.
【Why?】
[Didn't I tell you? We're a dating system, and our ultimate goal is to help you and the male lead have a pleasant romantic relationship.]
Jiang Tangtang was speechless. [Are you out of your mind? Are you trying to drag us into a famine relief story to have a romance?]
I can't even get enough to eat, how can I be in the mood for romance? And how many days has it been since I last showered?
How can we still be all lovey-dovey and lift each other up high?
Today, when I sat on the male lead's shoulders, I was afraid that he would smell the sour odor on me.
[Host, your literary cultivation is lacking! I suggest you read more books in your spare time. Wasn't Bai Liusu and Fan Liuyuan's love also born in turbulent times? Love born in such difficult circumstances is all the more precious.]
Feeling annoyed that the system had rejected her, Jiang Tangtang retorted, "Yeah, my literary skills aren't good enough. Should you let me go back and find someone with higher literary skills to do the task?"
[Host, don't be ashamed of your lack of knowledge. With effort, you can improve your literary skills. Our system not only has various books to help you with romance, but also all sorts of reference books and encyclopedias—everything you could want. You just need to make the male lead change his opinion of you even slightly, and you'll have it all.]
Jiang Tangtang: [...]
What's there to be ashamed of!
She just wanted to go back to the modern world; she didn't want any of that precious, worthless sentimentality. She just wanted to return to the modern world, continue squandering money, and live her life like a salted fish.
