Zhen Wanwan and Mrs. Fang sat on a stool chatting about parenting, occasionally exchanging a few words, creating a very harmonious atmosphere.
As they chatted, Zhen Wanwan tried to sell her milk powder to Mrs. Fang. She took out an opened milk can from the trunk. The outer packaging of the milk can was made of wood. She chose this packaging to dispel any suspicion from others.
The seal is just as good as other packaging, and you don't have to worry about air leakage causing the milk powder to spoil.
Mrs. Fang looked at the wooden box on the table with a puzzled expression, thinking to herself that the box had a rather unique shape.
"Choose the original milk powder, it tastes better and is healthier!" Zhen Wanwan imitated the model's movements in the advertisement and gracefully pushed it in front of Mrs. Fang.
The lively atmosphere suddenly fell silent...
When Madam Fang saw Zhen Wanwan's strange movements, her toes seemed to want to dig into the ground for some reason, and Siqin did the same, even involuntarily shaking her body.
Why does this lady's smile look so strange...?
If Mrs. Fang and Siqin lived in modern times, they would definitely know that this is called making someone else feel embarrassed.
Actually, Zhen Wanwan regretted it as soon as she finished the action. She didn't know why, but her brain suddenly went blank.
Seeing that Madam Fang and Siqin were looking at her like she was a fool, the feeling of her toes digging into her skin returned, and she deeply felt the sense of impending doom.
"Hehe, Madam, this is a milk powder that I developed by chance using the punishment I received. It is most suitable for feeding children from birth to three years old."
This formula is even more nutritious than breast milk; children who grow up on this will be healthier.
Zhen Wanwan said in a low voice, "Moreover, his brain will be smarter, and he will be smarter in his studies than other children. If you feed this to the future young master, he will easily become the top scholar when he grows up, and he will definitely earn you an imperial title."
Madam Fang was a young lady raised in a wealthy and prestigious family, even though she didn't agree with what Zhen Wanwan said.
She continued to flatter, saying, "Really? This... milk powder is quite amazing; only you could make it."
However, she was merely curious and had no intention of stockpiling food for her unborn child. The origin of this substance was unknown, so how could she dare to feed it to her child so easily?
Although it smelled very sweet, she was still worried and did not plan to feed her child with this formula.
Zhen Wanwan waited expectantly for Madam Fang to ask the price, but seeing that Madam Fang seemed uninterested, she felt somewhat frustrated.
But then again, considering they're rich and powerful, what kind of good things haven't they seen?
She didn't insist, put the milk powder back in its place, and the two chatted for a while before parting ways.
It wasn't raining today, and through the gaps she could see many villagers had gone outside. Some were picking wild vegetables, while others were digging holes to bury the people who had been beaten to death yesterday.
Zhen Wanwan felt a tightness in her chest and a sense of loss. It was the first time she had witnessed someone being so cruel to their own family in order to survive.
If she hadn't had any cheat codes when she transmigrated, would she have died long ago?
Having personally experienced the pain of famine, she longed for a stable life.
After all, she knew her own limitations and couldn't really learn the tricks of the female protagonist in a time-travel novel who saves the world.
For her, living a peaceful and stable life is the best course of action.
Now that she has two children, she longs for peace more than ever, but the thought of the Prince of Yang's rebellion and the constant warfare on the border always makes her uneasy.
She looked at the scenery outside and silently prayed that General Xiao would quell the rebellion of Prince Yang as soon as possible.
Inside the grain cave, there was a great commotion. Two groups of people stood facing each other. On one side were villagers who wanted to distribute the grain on the spot, and on the other side were people led by Qu Huaiyuan who wanted to go in and find Lin Biaotou and his men.
The Li family members stood in the line of villagers distributing grain. Li Zhaodi looked at Qu Huaiyuan with eyes full of tenderness, and anyone could see that she was a young girl in love.
Unfortunately, her flirtatious glances were in vain; Qu Huaiyuan didn't even give her a second look.
Wang pinched Li Zhaodi's arm in exasperation, and Li Zhaodi winced in pain and silently shrank her neck.
Qu Huaiyuan was dressed in a linen outfit, but it couldn't hide his handsome figure at all. Wang's eyes lit up, and she was very satisfied with her future son-in-law.
Thinking this, she did just that, smiling and trying to get closer to Qu Huaiyuan with her triangular eyes: "Master Tongsheng, we're all family, why get angry with your own people!"
Qu Huaiyuan snorted coldly and said firmly, "If you want to distribute the grain, then distribute it. Why are you stopping us from going in to find people?"
The bodyguards behind him drew their swords, silently mourning for Lin, the head bodyguard. The villagers he had kindly protected along the way turned out to be a group of ungrateful villains.
One of them sneered, "Have you forgotten who protected you all the way? If it weren't for Chief Escort Lin, you would have died on the road long ago."
"That's right, Pockmarked guy, do you remember what happened half a month ago when you offended a big man and almost got your leg broken? If it weren't for Chief Escort Lin mediating, your body would probably be rotting by now!"
Ma Zi recalled the scene from half a month ago, and his thighs were still trembling, as if his legs would be split in two at any moment.
“Li Si, and you too! Three days ago, you came hunting with us and almost fell off the cliff because you lost your footing. It was Boss Zhen who caught you.”
Li Si's mother looked at her son in shock. She walked excitedly to Li Si's side and asked, "Fourth brother, is what he said true?"
Li Si lowered his head in shame, not daring to look at anyone. In the end, his mother pulled him away, preventing him from participating in the distribution of grain among the villagers.
Wang looked at the departing Li family with disdain and spat on the ground: "Useless fools who don't even want food."
The others had all received some help from Lin the镖头 (bodyguard) and Zhen's family. Those with a conscience left silently, while half of those who remained kept their heads down and did not resist Qu Huaiyuan's actions to save people.
Wang wanted to stop them, but she was so frightened by the bodyguard's knife that her legs went weak and she didn't dare to say a word.
And so, Qu Huaiyuan led his men one by one into the grain burial pit, leaving four men to guard the entrance and keep watch on the group.
The villagers exchanged glances, but no one dared to bring up the matter of dividing the grain. After waiting for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, and seeing that the people inside the cave had not yet come out, they mustered their courage and began to discuss the matter of dividing the grain.
Half the people had already left, and these people could each get a few more bags of grain. Surprisingly, they didn't argue and happily carried away their share of the grain.
One of the bodyguards looked indignantly at the villagers busily distributing grain in front of him: "I really feel sorry for our leader."
“I think it’s more than that. We haven’t even found our leader yet, and they’re already dividing up the food among themselves,” another bodyguard said with disgust in his eyes.
Upon hearing this, the group fell silent, ignoring the villagers and focusing solely on guarding the grain shed.
Many of these people had never been inside a grain storage cave before. Seeing the grain piled up like mountains, they assumed that most of the grain had been moved.
Naturally, no one thought of going in to risk searching for anything, since Lin Biaotou and the others had disappeared inside, and who knew what strange things were inside.
