Only after a closer look did I realize that it was a white steamed bun.
She suddenly became anxious and her face changed. This must be another private collection of that bitch Su Huaiyue.
Wei Ersao glared and put her hands on her hips: "Why can't I have a share of Su Huaiyue? If you don't give it to me, then I will report it to you. No one will have a good life!"
Su Huaiyue felt disgusted, but being discovered hiding food was no joke.
So she took out a steamed bun, and Wei Ersao looked at it eagerly, thinking that Su Huaiyue would give it to her.
But Su Huaiyue slowly broke it in half. Just when Wei Ersao thought that she would finally give it to herself...
Unexpectedly, Su Huaiyue broke the steamed bun in half again, and then in half again.
Only then did he hand the pitifully small steamed bun to Wei Ersao.
She shouted, "Why give me so little?"
Su Huaiyue lazily looked up at her and said nonchalantly, "Eat it if you want. If you want to report it, go ahead. Then you won't even be able to eat this little steamed bun!"
Mrs. Wei was so angry that she gritted her teeth, knowing that she did not have the courage to report it, so she could only swallow her anger and eat the steamed buns.
Wei Che, who was sitting beside him, looked at Su Huaiyue with some dissatisfaction: "No matter what, he is still your second brother's wife!"
In fact, he didn't really want to speak up for Wei Ersao, he just wanted to scold Su Huaiyue for some unknown reason.
Hearing this, Su Huaiyue smiled and snorted disdainfully: "If you don't like it, just give her food yourself. If you don't have it, don't bother.
Oh, don’t forget, the steamed bun you are eating now was also given to you by me…”
Wei Che's preaching failed and he was preached to instead.
His face darkened instantly, and he put the half bun in his hand into Su Huaiyue's hand without even looking at her.
"Li'er Zhi'er, come here."
Su Huaiyue broke the steamed bun into two halves and gave them to the two children.
The two children took the steamed buns, looked at each other, and hid the buns in their arms.
They knew it would be difficult to eat these in the future, so they wanted to save them for the next meal.
Everyone finished their meal and consumed all the food, leaving nothing behind.
Many people were not full after this barely sufficient meal, and due to the power of the officials, they could only swallow their anger.
It was late at night and the officers did not dare to move forward rashly. They packed up their remaining belongings and began to set up tents.
The rest had nothing and had to lie on the sand in the open air. The double torture of the cold night and the hunger in their stomachs made them miserable.
Fortunately, the Wei family still had two tarpaulins left. They simply put the tarpaulins together and had a shelter from the wind. They were already very content.
The family huddled together, and with the shelter of the tarpaulin, they actually felt a little warmer.
But they were still woken up by the cold in the second half of the night.
Su Huaiyue lost her sleepiness and got up to see that many people were sitting on the sand, covering themselves or their families, huddling together for warmth.
Soon, the fish's belly turned white, and the officials came out of the tent one after another.
Lord Li tucked his hands into his sleeves, his face slightly solemn. "Without water and food, even survival has become a problem, let alone whether we can safely reach the place of exile."
Lord Li's words made the officials feel troubled. What Lord Li said made sense.
The most urgent thing right now is to find food, otherwise all of them will die in this desert.
Just when they were at a loss, Wang Lao San spoke first, "Sir, do you remember that when we were looking for food before, the wife of the Wei family was very good at it. She always found food and water. How about we send her to look for it this time?"
She's just a woman, if we can find her we can just sit back and reap the benefits without losing anything."
When the officials heard this, they suddenly understood. This made sense. They could reap the benefits without having to put in any effort.
So after a unanimous discussion, they called Su Huaiyue over again.
Lord Li did not come out to meet Su Huaiyue, but Wang Laosan and a group of officials came to question her.
"Mrs. Wei, you've always found food before. This time, we've unanimously decided to send you to look for food. Are you willing?"
Wang Laosan spoke these words in an arrogant and fierce manner.
Su Huaiyue had disliked him for a long time and cursed his ancestors repeatedly in her heart.
He was just a small soldier and could only boss around ordinary people like them.
Wanting her to find food for everyone is probably just a daydream. This group of people imposes everything on her without any reason. How many heads does she have to use to put accusations on her?
I saved their lives, but they turned around and blamed me for making them throw away the food.
People are always selfish. Su Huaiyue decided to live with only his own family and no longer care about the lives of others.
He cursed in his heart but smiled gently on the surface: "Sir, you are joking. The previous few times we found those foods were just accidents. Besides, the desert before was not as desolate as this one. If it were someone else, they would also be able to find those food and water sources.
We are now in the depths of the desert. We don't even know if we can save our lives, let alone food. I am just a woman, and you really think too highly of me, sir."
Su Huaiyue's answer was flawless and he pushed the matter away.
Seeing that Su Huaiyue refused to look for food, the officials began to advise him.
"Madam Wei, you know everything along the way and you have great magical powers. You must be a lucky person who will find food."
"Yes, if we don't find food along the way, we will all starve to death."
“That’s right…”
The officers tried to persuade Su Huaiyue to agree to this matter one after another.
