"Is this—is my vision blurry?"
The second sister-in-law stared with her eyes wide open, her face full of disbelief.
What happened in such a short while?
She didn't feel like anyone had come in?
The eldest sister-in-law raised her eyelids, looked at Xiao Yunzhan, and then looked at Old Madam Xiao.
She pursed her lips and had a rough idea in her mind.
The one who could deliver the things so quickly must be a noble family in the capital that has close ties with their Xiao family.
Fourth brother’s confidants are too far away and can’t get here so quickly.
The third sister-in-law took a deep breath,
"Second sister-in-law, it's not your eyes that are blurring, I saw it too."
This was the first time in her life that she felt greedy for steamed buns.
I just don't know who brought these things in.
It seems that my mother and fourth brother should know it very well.
Madam Xiao waved her hand and said softly, "Don't talk, don't ask, sit down quickly, and be gentle so as not to wake those people up."
The three sisters-in-law looked at each other and quickly sat around Old Man Xiao.
If you don’t want to ask, then don’t ask. You will know it later. It’s not worth the time.
We should quickly destroy the physical evidence to avoid being discovered by the officials and wasting other people’s kindness.
At this time, Lin Yiran also came over with two children in her arms, and placed the two children in their respective mothers' arms.
After all this trouble, Xiao Lingyan and Xiao Linghui were also woken up.
They trembled their eyelids, half-opened their eyes, and snuggled in their mother's arms.
Madam Xiao looked at the number of steamed buns and stuffed one into each person's hand.
"Eat quickly."
Then she gave one of the bowls of porridge to Xiao Yunzhan, and placed the other two bowls of porridge between the women and children. Everyone took turns drinking when they were thirsty.
When Xiao Lingyan and Xiao Linghui saw the steamed buns, their eyes immediately opened wide, without any sign of sleepiness at all.
Seeing Old Madam Xiao eating the steamed buns in big mouthfuls, everyone covered their mouths with their sleeves and quickly stuffed the buns into their mouths.
In less than two minutes, the family finished the steamed buns and rice porridge in their hands.
The stomach that was originally cramping felt much better instantly.
Lin Yiran originally thought that this family would be like on TV, where they would give in to each other, say touching words to each other, and haggle for a while.
As a result, after everyone got the food, they lowered their heads and started eating quickly.
At this time, even the third sister-in-law, who always behaved like a lady, started eating without caring about her image.
It is no exaggeration to say that we are eating against the clock.
Lin Yiran nodded slightly, and admired the Xiao family even more in her heart.
Be clear-headed at critical moments and avoid useless false courtesy.
Who wouldn’t be hungry at that time? Even if there was only one steamed bun, it would be broken into pieces and everyone would take a bite. There was no thought of sacrificing anyone, and no one needed to eat.
Everyone needs to eat something so that they have the strength to continue on their journey and not burden their families.
Lin Yiran drank two mouthfuls of porridge to moisten her throat, and like everyone else, she ate the steamed bun in just a few bites.
I have to say that the steamed buns bought from the system takeout are quite fragrant and have a light sweetness.
At this moment, she completely ignored the disgusting smell in the air.
It tastes delicious.
Sure enough, you still have to endure some effort to make the food taste delicious.
Old Madam Xiao looked at the two remaining steamed buns on the plate, thought for a moment, and stuffed another one into Xiao Yunzhan's hands.
Xiao Yunzhan didn't refuse, took it and started eating it in big mouthfuls.
Only when he is well fed will he have the strength to deal with these officials, and only then will his sisters-in-law have a good life.
Old Madam Xiao frowned and thought for a moment, then divided the remaining steamed bun into eight pieces as evenly as possible.
One person stuffed a piece into his hand and said, "Eat it all, don't leave any."
Originally, Madam Xiao wanted to save the steamed buns for tomorrow morning.
But when she glanced at Old Lady Niu who was sleeping soundly on the ground, she immediately gave up the idea.
If Old Lady Niu sees us eating tomorrow morning, she will definitely shout something out because of her noisy personality.
There will be trouble at that time, so it is safer to eat it directly.
Everyone was stunned for a moment, but without asking any questions, they just stuffed the food into their mouths and ate it.
"Okay, go to bed quickly and be gentle."
After everyone finished eating, Old Madam Xiao waved her hand and signaled everyone to find a place to sleep.
The sisters-in-law nodded, got up silently and walked to the corner.
After a whole day of walking, my legs felt like they weren't my own. When I stood up after a rest, I felt sore all over.
Now that I’ve eaten and my stomach feels better, I can’t help but feel sleepy.
Lin Yiran huddled together with her three sisters-in-law, leaning against the dirty wall and closing her eyes to sleep.
Although the walls look dirty, they are much better than the floor.
But there were mosquitoes flying everywhere in the cell, making it impossible for Lin Yiran to sleep.
She pretended to close her eyes and listened to the conversation between Xiao Yunzhan and his mother with her ears perked up.
After watching her daughters-in-law go to bed, Old Madam Xiao turned to look at Xiao Yunzhan.
"What about these bowls and plates?"
If we keep this thing, it will definitely be discovered tomorrow morning.
Xiao Yunzhan frowned slightly and stacked the bowls and plates together.
"Mom, lie down on the quilt and rest first. I will take care of this."
If the gods can give it to us, they can certainly take it away.
Madam Xiao looked at Xiao Yunzhan deeply and nodded slowly.
"Be careful, just wrap it in oil paper next time."
Since you're already living in a cell, there's no need to be so particular.
It was too risky to ask his men to make another trip just to get the plates.
Xiao Yunzhan was slightly stunned.
next time?
He didn't know if there would be a next time.
Besides, no matter if it was the gods or the ancestors of the Xiao family who helped him this time and allowed him to recover, he should find a way out on his own.
