Chapter 85 Food Expenses



Seeing Aunt Zhang staring intently at the durian in her hand, Su Qian frowned slightly. Could it be... that Aunt Zhang also wanted to eat durian?

Without hesitation, she opened the durian, handed a piece to Aunt Zhang, and said, "Auntie, you eat this."

Aunt Zhang didn't take it, but stared at Su Qian and grabbed King Shang's hand, "Your Majesty, that rumor might be true."

"I didn't say it was fake." With that, she took the durian from Su Qian's hand and started eating it herself.

Ah Qian never eats anything bad. Take this durian, for example. It smells terrible, but it tastes incredibly delicious.

Aunt Zhang looked at the two people eating durian and couldn't help but sigh, "Now that Su Xin is the empress, won't something bad happen to her?"

If the outside world continues to be chaotic, they may not be able to protect this place either.

Su Qian looked up at Aunt Zhang, puzzled, "Auntie, I don't like that person."

Aunt Zhang was slightly taken aback before realizing, "Auntie misspoke."

No matter how difficult it was, they couldn't push Su Qian away.

Aunt Zhang thought for a moment, then nudged King Shang beside her, "Your Majesty, do you want to be the emperor?"

Upon hearing Aunt Zhang's words, King Shang was startled. "Wife, what are you saying?"

He doesn't even want to seize the neighboring mountain, yet he wants to be emperor?

Wouldn't that be exhausting?

"If we have grain, we can recruit a lot of people, and it's not impossible to change the emperor."

King Shang disagreed, saying, "How many people would die? Fighting is tiring enough, let alone war. Anyway, I'm not taking the blame."

Aunt Zhang understood what King Shang meant, but... she was still worried about Su Qian, "But what if they come knocking on our door again?"

Su Qian couldn't understand Aunt Zhang's worries at all. "Auntie, none of them can beat me."

They're all a bunch of weaklings, what's there to be afraid of?

Aunt Zhang's mind went blank. How could she have forgotten?

"A-Qian, what else would you like to eat?" If she fattens up a bit, then she won't be afraid that dog emperor will try to take advantage of her A-Qian.

King Shang looked at Aunt Zhang with some surprise, "Wife, do we still have any grain at home?"

Still want to eat?

If Su Qian eats any more, he won't just be without a midnight snack.

We might have to skip dinner altogether from now on.

Good heavens, what sins did he commit to be neighbors with the Su family?

(╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻

Aunt Zhang rolled her eyes at him. "Don't forget how our family got our food."

If it weren't for Su Qian, would their family be living such a good life now?

King Shang sighed silently. How could he not know all this? But the crops in the fields hadn't even sprouted yet, and his family's grain was disappearing in large quantities...

He was also anxious, as he had to support the entire village.

They can still survive now, but the people in the city may not.

What's the difference between looting grain now and killing people?

Seeing the two of them looking conflicted, Su Qian waved her hand, and instantly a mountain of fruit and rice appeared.

"Food expenses."

Hmm, how could she have forgotten these things?

Su Qian took a bite of durian and ate it with relish. Durian is indeed high in calories, and eating it gave her a feeling of happiness.

Looking at the pile of grain, Aunt Zhang didn't know what to say. "A-Qian," she said, her eyes filled with tears.

Su Qian looked at her in confusion and asked blankly, "What's wrong?" Is it not enough?

She waved her hand and took out another pile.

Even King Shang couldn't help but curse, "Damn it, you have so much food, and you're still freeloading at my house?"
