As soon as Xia Ping'er ran back, Lu Huifen reached out to her.

"Mom, the steamed buns are made of white flour and are still warm. You and Dad can share them."

Xia Ping'er was so smart that she had already thought of how to divide the four buns on the way back. With a congratulatory smile on her face, she handed a large white bun to Lu Huifen.

Then, without waiting for Lu Huifen to say anything, she turned around and stuffed two steamed buns into Su Chengliang's hands, "Uncle, eat them. You are a man and you have a big appetite. You have suffered a lot these past two days."

Then he stuffed the last steamed bun into his daughter Su Qiaoqiao's little hand, "Good girl, eat quickly."

With her back to everyone, she quickly winked at her little daughter. Su Qiaoqiao had been following her mother to make a living since she was young. She had the same personality as her mother, being a little smart, sweet-mouthed, and good at reading people's expressions.

Immediately, he held the white flour bun in his two little hands and ate it quickly.

"Sister-in-law is so nice. She thinks of my parents and me when she gets a bite to eat. It's not easy for my sister-in-law, so you should eat too."

Su Chengliang's face was full of smiles. He took a bite of the steamed bun, handed the other one back to Xia Ping'er with one hand, and gave her a wink at the same time.

[Ping'er is really considerate. When I have the chance, I will give Ping'er some money to keep on me. Also, General Gu asked me to find the Su Family Army token. I have to discuss this with Ping'er. Since she can get white flour buns from the second wife, she should be closer to the second wife than me, and it will be easier for her to find the token. If Ping'er can find it, I will ask General Gu to take the mother and daughter out, get a fake identity, and we will leave together.]

The old couple Lu Huifen did not hear what Su Chengliang was thinking.

If they heard it, they would definitely curse Xia Ping'er as a vixen who had seduced their son's soul and made him abandon his parents.

"She is a concubine, how can she be worthy of eating white flour buns."

Lu Huifen spoke angrily and was about to walk over and take the steamed bun from her son.

"Uncle, mother-in-law is right. I am a woman and a concubine. You are of noble status and the last hope of our third room. You must take care of yourself and eat."

"What are you talking about, sister-in-law?"

Su Chengliang looked at Xia Ping'er's tearful eyes and felt more and more heartbroken.

If it wasn't in front of so many people, he would have hugged her and comforted her.

"It's a kind gesture from my uncle, I'll just take a bite."

Xia Ping'er broke off half of the bun and stuffed the other half into Su Chengliang's pocket. Then she sat next to Su Chengliang and ate the bun in a few bites.

All the curse words Lu Huifen had intended to curse were stuck in her throat and she couldn't utter any more.

"Mom, you half."

Lu Huifen broke the white flour bun in her hand in half and gave half to Grandma Lu, then divided the other half into two, gave one half to Su Quanming and stuffed the other half into her own mouth.

"mother."

The eldest daughter-in-law of the third room, Fang Juexia, sat on one side, and the youngest son, Su Zihuai, who was sitting on the ground next to him, was only a six-year-old child. He watched his grandparents and uncle eating white flour buns, and no one gave him a bite. He and Su Qiaoqiao were the only two children at home. Su Qiaoqiao ate a large white flour bun by himself.

"Be good, Zihuai. Wait until lunch time and I'll buy you some white flour buns."

Fang Juexia felt upset because her parents-in-law didn't treat her like that last night.

Last night, her family spent money to stay in a large bunk bed in a room with 30 people. There were 13 people in the family. It cost 900 coins in total. The mother-in-law said that concubines could not be treated the same as the master. So Xia Ping'er and her daughter and the two concubines of her uncle were not counted.

Xia Ping'er finally paid for the room herself, so her family of eleven squeezed into the innermost room, which was said to be a large bunk bed for thirty people.

In fact, there was a small partition between the ten people. This way, the three families lived in a small compartment.

The whole family had only one package sent by her parents. She gave all the money in it to her mother-in-law, leaving only some miscellaneous items for herself. Her mother-in-law also took all the clothes in it, and it was not enough to share among several people.

The quilt that the nanny brought was used by my mother-in-law to cover several people yesterday.

What about tonight? Fang Juexia didn't even dare to think about it. Would she and her son still be able to cover a corner of the quilt tonight? When her mother-in-law took her money last night, she was so kind to her, but today, in the blink of an eye, she became so cold and refused to even give her son a bite of white flour buns.

You know, her son Su Zihuai is the only grandson of her parents-in-law! Fang Juexia smiled bitterly, feeling that she was the stupidest person in the world.

My parents couldn't come to see me off in person, so the old nanny who was sent by my mother was the most caring person around her. She not only sent her money and clothes, but also brought her a handwritten letter from my father.

In the letter, her father told her to be more careful along the way and not to give all the things to her parents-in-law.

Look,

She acted foolishly and not only harmed herself but also her son.

Of course, her parents had never expected that, apart from her family, no other relatives in the Third House would send her anything. So, all the things her family sent were for her and her son. There weren't many things to begin with. Now, when you count them up, the only things her family sent, apart from the few pieces of silver she had hidden and some jewelry, were the clothes she and her son were wearing.

Fortunately, his parents were thoughtful and made two sets of cotton clothes for their youngest son.

If it weren't for the fact that they were children's clothes and adults couldn't wear them, they would have been divided up by my parents-in-law.

"Mom, can we buy a cart too? It's too early to be exiled. My grandma is old and can't walk. And we have to buy some quilts, food, pots and other things in the future. We can't carry them all on our backs, right?"

Su Chengliang had something to hide, as he was thinking about the five hundred taels of silver notes he had on him.

Besides, he could leave the exile team as long as he completed the task, and he would not let himself stay in this exile team for a long time.

So there was no need for him to save the five hundred taels. He might as well spend it and buy some things to make himself happier.

If his officials allowed him, he would have bought a donkey cart. After just one day of walking, he felt exhausted, especially his feet. The skin on the soles of his feet was rubbed raw, and the pain kept him awake all night.

Of course, with the donkey cart, it would be convenient for him to take Xia Ping'er and her mother with him when he escaped.

"I should buy one, but it's too expensive. Fifty taels is simply robbery."

Lu Huifen felt pain in her heart. She calculated that Fang Juexia gave her 600 taels last night, and Qingchi gave her 89 taels. She secretly deducted 100 taels from Su Quanming. All the assets of the three families were here. The exile was long. If you count the journey, it would take three or four months normally. If something happened, it would take half a year.

This money is simply not enough.

What's more, once you arrive at the place of exile, you will need to register your household registration, buy a house and land to live in, all of which will cost money.

"Let's buy one, sister. It's too early on this road. Besides our mother, who can avoid getting sick on this road? We can't do without a cart."

Lu Xianglian held Lu Huifen's arm affectionately.

When her feet hurt, she can sit in the car for a while.

"Buy it, mother."

Su Chengliang glanced at Xia Ping'er, then turned to look at Su Huifen, thinking,

[Ping'er is too delicate. She not only has to walk by herself, but sometimes she has to carry Qiao Qiao on her back. It's too tiring. With a cart, Qiao Qiao can ride on it. I can pretend that my legs hurt and my feet are heavy, and Ping'er can come over to help me walk. We can talk more.]
