Chapter 26 Sleeping on the Floor
The eight sisters-in-law and Mo Hanyue were already drooling over the braised beef, and with the mother-in-law's words, they ate it without any scruples.
"Mom is right. We are no longer the ladies of a wealthy family. It's good enough to just fill our stomachs now."
"I, Yang Manxin, don't care about rules or regulations anymore."
You know, when a person is extremely hungry, everything he sees will taste delicious.
What's more, the braised beef with soy sauce that He Zhiran brought out looked very appetizing, and even tasted better than those they had eaten before.
Looking at the once dignified and decent women sitting on the ground and wolfing down their food, He Zhiran gave them a reminder.
"Don't worry, there's more in the bag. If it's not enough, we can take more."
Anyway, the supplies in her space all have regeneration capabilities, so she can have as much braised beef as she wants.
Mrs. Mo took a bite of the braised beef and felt that it was the most delicious meat she had ever eaten in her life.
However, she disagreed with He Zhiran's words.
"Keep some of the things your parents gave you. You don't have to share them all."
"Mom, I have a lot more here!"
As He Zhiran spoke, he grabbed a handful of braised beef and shared it with everyone.
Seeing this, Mrs. Mo stopped trying to persuade him, after all, she herself really enjoyed eating it.
Seeing the Mo family eating steamed buns and braised beef with soy sauce, the people from the other four families were jealous to the point of going crazy.
Why can the Mo family eat white flour buns?
Some officials even offered to give water bags as gifts.
You know, they are so hungry that their stomachs are growling. If they want to drink a sip of water, they have to ask the officials for permission. Only when the officials are happy will they give them a sip of water.
Because of the lesson of being whipped during the day, even though those people were extremely angry, they did not dare to express their thoughts out loud.
Their eyes seemed to be on fire as they stared at the Mo family eating and drinking.
Being stared at by so many unfriendly eyes, the Mo family was not completely unaware of it.
However, they all listened to Madam Mo's words and no one looked at her. They just lowered their heads and ate their white flour buns.
After eating and drinking, Madam Mo took the initiative to move closer to He Zhiran and whispered:
"We have to find a way to get Jiuye to eat something."
Even if Madam Mo didn't remind him, He Zhiran would have thought of this.
"Mother, I'll get food for my husband later, after everyone is asleep."
Mo Jiuye could also smell the aroma of braised beef while lying on the wooden cart.
He, a person who never paid much attention to food, swallowed his saliva unconsciously several times.
Unfortunately, he was already unconscious in the eyes of others, and it was impossible for his plan to be ruined by a bite of food.
Mo Jiuye endured there with great difficulty, and the women of the Mo family finally had enough to eat and drink.
Madam Mo told everyone to find a place to rest.
Speaking of rest, the faces of the female members except He Zhiran fell.
"Mom, are we going to sleep like this?" Mo Hanyue knew this was the case, but still couldn't help but complain.
Madam Mo was also helpless.
"Hanyue, our Mo family is no longer what it used to be. It's already a luxury for everyone to be alive, so don't think too much."
Hearing this, Mo Hanyue's tears flowed unconsciously.
However, she was sensible enough not to mention it again.
Old Madam Mo gave birth to ten children, but Mo Hanyue was the only daughter. Mo Hanyue was raised under the protection of her parents.
Seeing her daughter in such a state, Mrs. Mo felt extremely distressed.
However, she had to bow to fate and make Mo Hanyue accept reality as soon as possible.
"If you can't even endure this little bit of hardship, you're not worthy of being a child of the Mo family."
Being a child of the Mo family is the thing that Mo Hanyue feels most proud of.
Her father and brothers were both heroes who defended the Dashun Dynasty. When she heard her mother say that they were not worthy of being children of the Mohist school, she stopped crying instantly and quickly wiped her tears with her sleeves.
“Mom, the Mo family is not afraid of hardship, and Han Yue is not afraid either.”
After saying that, she curled up beside Madam Mo.
Madam Mo didn't dare to look at her daughter anymore. The more she looked, the more distressed she felt. She could only turn her head away.
In order to make it easier for Mo Jiuye to eat in the evening, He Zhiran leaned on the wooden cart to rest.
In her previous life, she often slept in the jungle when she was on field missions, so she didn't find it difficult to accept.
When the sisters-in-law saw that their mother-in-law and others had lay down to rest, although they had the same thoughts as Mo Hanyue, they did not show it and slept close together on the ground.
Perhaps because everyone was too tired from traveling, they fell asleep soon after lying down.
He Zhiran didn't sleep, he just leaned there and dozed off.
Just when she was about to open her eyes to see if everyone was asleep, she found that her second sister-in-law sat up.
The second sister-in-law tiptoed to He Zhiran's side and whispered, "Ninth sister-in-law, are you asleep?"
He Zhiran also replied in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Not yet. Is there anything wrong, sister-in-law?"
In the moonlight, it can be seen that the second sister-in-law has a somewhat conflicted expression, and it is obvious that she has something to ask for.
"Well... well... Ninth sister-in-law, I want to ask you for a white flour bun."
The second sister-in-law was obviously very nervous when she spoke. Not only did she stutter a little, but her hands were also constantly tugging at the corners of her clothes.
He Zhiran immediately guessed his second sister-in-law's intention, which was simply to send it to her mother's family.
However, she did not want to be the kind of person who was too kind-hearted. After all, those families were hostile to the Mo family.
Even though my second sister-in-law's family did not curse the Mo family like the other families did, they could not hide the hatred they showed towards the Mo family in their eyes.
"Sister-in-law, aren't you full?" He Zhiran pretended to be confused.
The second sister-in-law waved her hands vigorously.
"No, I want to give it to my nephew."
After she finished speaking, seeing that He Zhiran did not give her the steamed bun, the second sister-in-law knew that the other party might be unwilling.
"Ninth sister-in-law, there must be some misunderstanding between my father and the Mo family. We didn't talk about it during the day because there were so many people talking.
I thought, since it's late at night and everyone is asleep, I'll go give my nephew some steamed buns and ask him what happened.
Seeing that his second sister-in-law had said this, He Zhiran could no longer remain indifferent.
What's more, the steamed buns are for the little kids to eat. The grudges between adults have nothing to do with the little kids.
I can also take this opportunity to understand why those families are so hostile to the Mohist School.
He Zhiran took out a white flour bun from the bag, then reached into his package and took out two slices of braised beef.
"Second sister-in-law, these are all for you."
Seeing that there was braised beef with soy sauce, my second sister-in-law was so moved that she kept thanking me.
"Thank you, sister-in-law. I will definitely find out the situation before coming back."
"Second sister-in-law, go quickly!" He Zhiran showed a harmless smile.
After his second sister-in-law walked away, He Zhiran looked around again.
The officers have been dispersed near each family, with one person on duty at each location.
The person in charge of guarding the Mo family was Zhou Laoba. It was probably that he deliberately let them go. When he saw his second sister-in-law heading towards the Xie family, he did not stop her.
