Big Brother Chu was also a little depressed: "That's not what I meant. I didn't mean to say anything about my third brother's wife. I was just curious..."
"Eat buns." Mrs. Chu silently stuffed a bun into his mouth, blocking her husband's mouth. Fortunately, her husband didn't say anything and it didn't affect his mood, otherwise she would have to consider finding her second brother to learn how to say nice things and clean up the mess for her husband.
Just like the eldest wife of the Chu family.
Brother Chu and the children all ate buns.
The second brother Chu smacked his lips and said, "Third brother is so lucky to have married such a smart wife like his third brother's wife. As the older brother, I am also enjoying the blessing."
"Am I not good enough?" Zeng Wenling looked somewhat resentful.
"Wife, what nonsense are you talking about? You are my sweetheart and my treasure. You are unique and there is no need to compare with anyone else." Brother Chu blinked and smiled heartily while hugging Zeng Wenling.
Zeng Wenling's cheeks flushed. Although she knew her husband was sweet-talker, she still fell for him every time.
"You're smart."
Zhou Jiaojiao leaned in Chu San's arms and closed her eyes. Her consciousness had entered the space. She clicked on the learning content on the panel and two video tutorials appeared, one for learning cooking and the other for learning medicine.
She first clicked to learn medical skills.
All the teaching was done through videos, so she could get answers to any questions she had, which improved her learning efficiency. She didn't know how long she had been studying, but after taking a look at the progress, she found that her progress in basic medical skills had reached 8%.
not bad.
Zhou Jiaojiao withdrew from the space and fell asleep tiredly.
The next morning at breakfast.
It was just dawn, and the Chu family, like everyone else in Dalui Village, were eating dry food. It had no fragrance, and no one lit a fire to cook it.
"Third sister-in-law, this is the map my parents left me. Due to an accident, they were taken to Youzhou in the north, and they left me a lot of silver. They told me that when I get there, I can use the silver to buy a place to enter Youzhou, and then I can settle down." Zeng Wenling did not hide it.
Zhou Jiaojiao yawned and said, "Second sister-in-law, the things your parents give you are naturally yours."
"But let me look at this map."
She rubbed her eyes tiredly, leaned in Chu San's arms, and looked at the map.
It really is a map.
Zhou Jiaojiao's eyes lit up as she looked at it. This was a topographic map and a geographical location map combined into one. "Mother, sister-in-law, this map is a great thing. Look, this is the river, this side is the mountain, and this line is the pipeline. This one corresponds to the place names of the state capital and county seat."
As she spoke, she drew a line on the topographic map with her finger.
"We'll follow this river. The end is at the state border. We'll pass through several counties along the way. And judging by the strength of the water flow, if we keep going north, we'll eventually see water in the river. We can find food along the way. As long as we have water and food, we can survive. If all else fails, there's a large mountain range over here."
"Aren't we going to Youzhou?"
Zeng Wenling was puzzled.
Zhou Jiaojiao said, "It would take us at least three months to reach Linshui County. By November, it would be cold in the north, and we'd probably be seeing snow. What if the imperial court had already distributed relief grain by then? We wouldn't have to continue north and could just go back to Dalui Village."
Old Man Chu nodded and said, "It's better to go back to my hometown."
"It would be great if the imperial court could really send disaster relief grain, so we wouldn't have to stay away from home any longer." Mother Chu also sighed.
Zhou Jiaojiao did not place her hopes on the court.
While she was eating steamed buns, she heard someone cursing nearby.
"I'm going to die. You wasted so much time all night, and in the end, you didn't bring anything back. And you still let an old woman like me take care of your son. It's a waste of energy. You can compensate me with breakfast." Mrs. Zhao pointed at Chen Lin and cursed.
Shen Lin's expression was a little ugly. She said, "At least I contacted my husband's people. Mother, without me, how could you find my husband? By throwing a tantrum?"
She had a sarcastic look on her face.
This remark really touched Mrs. Zhao's sore spot, and she pointed at her and scolded her even more fiercely. However, Mrs. Zhao's voice soon weakened. She was scolded by the old man of the Zhao family. It seemed that the old man Zhao was on Shen Lin's side.
When Zhou Jiaojiao saw this scene, she suddenly thought of what happened last night and asked, "Mom, when did Shen Lin come back?"
"It seems like he came back before daybreak."
"No food?"
"She is a weak woman, how could she be taken out of the city? She would be robbed if she was taken out. It would be good enough if she could go in and find out the news about Zhao Changliu." Mother Chu didn't understand why she cared about Chen Lin.
However, thinking that Chen Lin might also be Zhou Mianmian's spy, she followed suit and watched.
Zhou Jiaojiao asked the system: "Xiao Si, was Chen Lin's operation last night still going smoothly?"
"It wasn't going well." Xiao Si's voice was filled with joy. "She was caught last night. It took the help of the city guards and the county magistrate to get her out of that house. We paid a lot of money as compensation."
"Has her luck been affected?" Zhou Jiaojiao was quite concerned about this.
“It had some impact, down one percent.”
Zhou Jiaojiao touched her chin. "It seems that all we need to do is cause trouble for the heroine and suppress her. Even the protagonist will be affected. Once she loses the protection of her luck, she will just be an ordinary person, right?"
"Then I'm relieved." Ever since Chen Lin plotted against her original body's jade pendant, Zhou Jiaojiao has found it impossible to live in harmony with the other party. It would have been fine if she didn't continue to cause trouble for herself, but she just wanted to continue plotting against her and Chu San last night.
What goes around comes around.
Zhou Jiaojiao will not show mercy.
She just wanted to make sure that Shen Lin's luck could be affected.
The team continued to leave, and no one from Daliu Village stayed. It was not known whether it was Chu's mother's suggestion that convinced the village chief, or whether it was the idea of the elders in the village themselves.
In short, after learning that the county town only provided water and that they would sooner or later starve to death if they stayed there, the people of Dalui Village followed the route pointed out by Zhou Jiaojiao and headed north.
Zhou Jiaojiao was lying on a cart with a simple shed made of clothes on top to block the scorching sun. She closed her eyes and seemed to be resting, but in fact she was studying in the space.
"Mom, Zhou Jiaojiao is so lucky. She doesn't have to work after marrying that idiot Chu Laosan. If I had known earlier, I shouldn't have married her to Chu Laosan. It would have been great if she stayed in our house and worked." Zhou Linlin became angrier and angrier as she spoke, especially since her feet hurt and she was sweating profusely while walking. The difference was even greater compared to Zhou Jiaojiao who was able to sit on the cart.
"I didn't realize that even a fool like Chu Lao San loved his wife. When he was not stupid, he also had a temper harder than stone and never showed a good face to anyone." Mother Zhou was also a little helpless. She comforted Zhou Linlin and said, "Lin'er, don't worry. Once we leave Yuanzhou, we can go to the capital to find your sister."
