Chaos erupted at the Qi Prince's mansion, while inside the small tent outside the city gate, a scene of warmth and coziness unfolded.
Nanzhi took out the clothes she had bought.
The family sat inside a small tent.
Nanzhi rummaged through the large package.
"Grandma, look, do you like it?"
A dark green outfit appeared before everyone.
Qian Lanfang stood to the side, and several children gathered around.
Qian Lanfang: "Mother, look, this is good material. The wealthy families in the city wear this kind of material."
Grandma Nan's hands trembled; she had never worn such fabric since she got married.
She reached out her hand, then withdrew it.
It would be a shame if such precious material were torn by rough fingers.
Nanzhi said eagerly, "Grandma, please try it."
Old Mrs. Nan looked troubled.
"Mother, please wear it. Nan'er is capable now, this is a special gift for you."
Even the usually silent Nankai spoke up, "Mother, give it a try."
Amidst everyone's anticipation, Old Lady Nan changed her clothes.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, she was at a loss for what to do.
"Isn't it ugly?"
Qian Lanfang came to her senses. She knew before that her mother-in-law was a young lady from a wealthy family, and now that she was dressed in those clothes, she really did look like her.
Several grandsons stepped forward.
Nam Chun-hyun: "Grandma looks really good in it."
Nanzhi silently gave a thumbs up: "My grandma is really impressive."
Nan Chungu: "Grandma looks just like the old lady in the painting."
Forgive him for never having seen such beautiful clothes before. Once, when he went to the bookstore in town, the old lady in the painting was wearing clothes just like that.
"Nan girl really knows how to buy things. Look, it fits Mother perfectly."
Nanzhi then took out several more pieces of clothing, one for each person.
Qian Lanfang looked at the clothes handed to her in disbelief.
"Oh, there's one for me too."
The fabric felt smooth to the touch, and although it couldn't compare to the old lady's, it was the best dress she had ever seen.
Qian Lanfang secretly vowed that she would protect Nanzhi from now on.
Nan Chunxian and Nan Chungu, Nan Kai, including Wu Nanshuang, each have one.
Touched, Wu Nanshuang took the clothes and delivered them to the people of Weiguo outside.
Wei Guo and Wei Min hugged their clothes and hid in a corner, crying for a long time.
Zhou Chang also received a set of clothes.
"If you ask me, it's better to get married. This kid is already showing respect to his master."
The whole family was very happy.
"Please don't wear them for now, put your clothes away."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Now is the time to flee famine, and going out dressed like this is clearly telling everyone.
I have money, come and rob me!
A short while later, Zheng Xinghai arrived with his son.
The Nan family lifted the curtain and invited the person in.
Zheng Xinghai looked worried.
"Nan girl, when can we set off? How's the wolf thing going?"
Qian Lanfang: "Erbao and Sanbao are raised by my family. Just because he's a higher-ranking official, he wants to go there. What right does he have!"
Zheng Xinghai: "But if this continues, our food supply will not be enough."
From that day on, the King of Qi stopped distributing grain to everyone.
Before, we could dig for wild vegetables as we walked, but now we're stuck in this place.
The surrounding hills had been dug up by everyone, leaving them bare and empty.
Zheng Xinghai: "Nan girl, you and Hunter Song need to think of a solution for us. If we keep going like this, none of us will be able to hold on any longer."
Old Mrs. Nan sighed deeply, "I heard that in the next village, they've already started selling their daughters."
If the city gates are not opened, it will be useless even if they knock on them.
Nan Chunxian said, "These days, more and more people are dissatisfied with our family. I often see them gathering together, I don't know what they are discussing."
Qian Lanfang said angrily, "Apart from the villagers of Taile Village, they are probably all thinking about how to mess with us right now."
Song Hanyan nodded. "If nothing unexpected happens, we'll make our move tonight."
"Then, what should we do?" Qian Lanfang panicked.
"These bastards, why don't they just let the sparks from the volcano kill them? They're bullying us honest people."
Zheng Xinghai, who had originally intended to persuade the Nan family to hand over the wolf cub, has now given up on that idea.
It now seems that the Nan family is unwilling to hand over the wolf cubs.
With so many people gathered at the city gate, even with the help of the blacksmiths, they couldn't possibly defeat them.
The enemy's crowd could drown them.
Qian Lanfang: "Girl, don't you know how to make poison? Put some medicine on them and kill those nasty things."
Nan Chunxian was terrified by his mother's idea. "Mother, if so many people are gone, it's obvious that we are the murderers."
Knowing his mother's temper, if she had a packet of poison, she really would have done it.
"Why don't we escape while they're asleep?"
“No way,” Nankai said, “so many people leaving, making such a commotion, those people aren’t stupid.”
"This won't work, that won't work, are we really going to fight those people?"
If a fight breaks out, their chances of winning are zero.
The group discussed it for a while, but couldn't come up with any ideas.
Grandma Nan noticed Nan Zhi, who remained silent.
"Nan girl, do you have any good ideas?"
All eyes turned to her.
Nanzhi raised her head and said something that no one could refute.
"I think it's lunchtime."
Everyone was speechless, unsure how to proceed.
Nan Chungu's stomach rumbled, breaking the silence.
Grandma Nan nodded absentmindedly, seemingly still caught up in the previous topic.
"It's time to eat."
