After the house was confiscated, I relied on billions of dollars in supplies to become a group favor

Chapter 164 Quarrel
"Mom, open it and take a look!" Mu Qinghong urged as she stared at the bulging bundle with an expression of surprise.

Sure enough, it’s not that my grandfather doesn’t care about them, it’s just that it’s inconvenient for them to break up with the officials!

However, when Mrs. Zhang lowered her head and opened the bundle, there were only a few hard pieces of rough flour inside.

The expressions of mother and daughter suddenly turned ashen. Mrs. Zhang reached out her hand in disbelief and groped carefully and nervously at the bottom of the bundle. She only found a small piece of silver worth ten taels, and nothing else.

In such a large Zhizhou Prefecture, not to mention that they are blood relatives of the Lord Zhizhou, even if they send a maid back to their hometown, they will not come up with such shabby things.

The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.

Mrs. Zhang was so angry that she clutched the big baggage tightly, her gaze fell on the baggage without moving, her chest heaved violently, and she almost couldn't breathe.

The thought that has been supporting Zhang for these days is that Zhang Zhizhou will not sit idly by and do nothing. Now this shabby burden has become a sharp weapon that breaks his defenses.

With these things, how will they go about their exile?

"How about sending a beggar away with this little thing!?"

Zhang was so angry that she didn't care. She suddenly raised her head, looked at Cui who was watching the show with her angry eyes, and roared angrily.

Hearing this, Mrs. Cui sneered, her disgusted eyes passed over the mother and daughter one by one, and she said slowly: "Oh, they are just two prisoners. With these things, it is already a favor from the magistrate."

Madam Zhang was so angry that she completely forgot about her usual humiliation. She stared fiercely at Madam Cui and said unabashedly: "You must have blown the pillow wind, otherwise...otherwise, how could dad...before?" that is……"

She always knew that since her mother died, her father had promoted Aunt Jiang to the position of mistress. In Zhang's eyes, she was just an aunt!Why are you so arrogant in front of her direct descendant?

Before Mrs. Zhang got married, Mrs. Cui was just a little maid next to her mother. She climbed up the ladder by relying on scheming. What is she pretending to be here now?
These words seemed to have stepped on a sore spot for Ms. Cui. Her face immediately turned cold. She looked at the mother and daughter with an unkind tone and said, "Are you crazy? They are just two fugitives. What kind of look do you need from me? I am willing." I came here just for Lord Zhizhou’s sake.”

Mrs. Zhang was so angry that she naturally quarreled with her and said angrily: "What do you think you are? If my mother hadn't pointed it out, how could you be regarded as my aunt?"

As the talk got louder and louder, Ms. Cui couldn't hold back her anger. She didn't care to put on the airs of Mrs. Zhizhou, and brought up the old things cursingly.

Back then, if Madam Zhang hadn't given her eye drops, she would have been almost driven to the mansion. All old and new scores were now being settled.

The two of them were arguing for a long time. The official couldn't stand it any longer. With a fierce face, he yelled at Zhang and his daughter: "Hey, hey, hey! Why are you talking to Mrs. Zhizhou!"

"I shouldn't have come here, it's bad luck!" Cui used her slender fingertips to pick up her clothes a few times, her face was gloomy, as if her whole body was stained with some dirt, which made the maids and mothers beside her confused. He supported himself and left without looking back, "I don't know how mother and daughter can be so different..."

Her last complaint-like murmur was made especially quietly, but it fell into the ears of Mu Qinghong who was standing beside her.

Mu Qinghong was a bit smarter now. She frowned and vaguely understood something after hearing this inexplicable sentence.

She never made a sound from the beginning to the end, so the mother and daughter in Cui's mouth must not be talking about her, that means Niang and Mu Qingshuang.Mrs. Zhang was furious and had been scolded by an official for nothing, but her face was as green as ashes.

Mu Qinghong, in a rare act of cleverness, tugged on Mrs. Zhang's sleeve and whispered, "Mother...sister is still there."

"What!?" When Zhang heard this, he couldn't help but asked in surprise. After calming down for a while, he finally figured it out.

"My sister is still at her place. If you quarrel with her, my sister will definitely be doomed!"

Thinking of Mu Qingshuang leaving their mother and daughter alone and escaping alone, Mu Qinghong curled her lips and said with a gloating smile.

When Zhang Zicha heard this, he suddenly felt frightened and said with regret, "It's over! I should have endured it. What did I do to provoke her... Shuang'er is still in her hands."

She didn't hate Mu Qingshuang that much. After all, it was the flesh that fell from her body. She became more and more worried about what Cui would do to Mu Qingshuang.

……

Half an hour later, the officers began to shout and signaled all the prisoners to start on their way.

Li Jiang seemed to be particularly anxious to reach the next city. This time he walked faster than before. Except for occasionally stopping to eat, they kept walking non-stop at other times.

With the ingredients prepared by the officials in advance, Ruan He became more and more comfortable in making nourishing soup.

Using spiritual spring water as the base and some medicinal materials with various effects, she could easily cook a large pot of soup.

The soup was also different from the usual bitter and unpleasant soups. It had Lingquan water as the base. Ruan He casually added a little seasoning. As the steam steamed, a faint fragrance spread out.

The large pot of soup was used to refresh and replenish energy on the road. It was enough to cook a large pot. Not only the officials, but also every prisoner received a bowl one by one.

The journey was already tiring, so a bowl of steaming and sweet medicinal soup, mixed with spiritual spring water, made my whole body feel relaxed when it entered my throat.

Wang Xiaoshuo also held a big bowl in his hands. He licked his lips with lingering thoughts and looked at Ruan He who was sitting by the pot. He lowered his voice and asked, "Sister-in-law, what did you add to this soup? Why are you drinking it?" I feel so comfortable all over. I have taken tonic soup before, but it has never had this effect!"

"It's just the medicinal materials you gave me because you're too tired." Ruan He responded casually and smiled gently.

The prisoners' worried expressions all faded away, and their spirits improved. Li Jiang naturally noticed this.

At nightfall that day, they had already arrived in front of a mountain forest. It was very dangerous to walk in the dark forest at night, so Li Jiang directly gave an order to the officers and ordered all the prisoners to rest on the spot and spend the night first. Set off again.

When they heard that they could rest, everyone looked relaxed and breathed a sigh of relief.
