My whole family time-traveled! I became a god during my exile in a famine.

Chapter 2 The Family Gathers

Meanwhile, after Xin Nian and the other old women had gone some distance, they quickly opened the two bundles and took a look.

I must say, the supply packages sent by the Marquis of Lin'an's residence were quite good.

One of the packages contained only white flour cakes and also included dried meat.

The other package contained three sheepskin water sacs, several thicker cotton coats, and seven or eight inconspicuous small porcelain bottles.

She smelled them one by one; they were all pills and powders for reducing fever, stopping coughs, stopping bleeding, and relieving pain.

Not bad, these supplies will come in handy during our exile. Lady Lin'an is quite thoughtful.

She took out a warm-to-the-touch jade pendant from the corner of her bundle and examined it closely.

I reckon this is some kind of betrothal token that the original owner's grandfather exchanged with the old Marquis of Lin'an.

It looks to be in pretty good condition. Maybe I can pawn it to tide me over if I'm ever short of money.

Lady Hou, a woman of conscience, may good people live a long and peaceful life. Xin Nian silently gave her a thumbs up.

Feeling hungry, Xin Nian hid the jade pendant back in her bundle, quickly pulled out two white flour cakes, picked up a piece of dried meat, and started eating.

The flatbread was soft, and the dried meat was chewy. It tasted great when it was fresh; it definitely wouldn't taste as good if it were left out for too long.

Xin Nian took a big bite of a pancake and then casually wrapped another one.

Looking up, he saw about twenty pairs of eyes, young and old, staring at him, their expressions varied and hard to describe.

"Want some?" Before Xin Nian could finish speaking, the sound of a child crying came from a corner of the cell.

"Father, Mother~ Waaah, you're finally awake! I thought you didn't want Han'er anymore, waaaah."

Xin Ruoyu reached out and nudged her, saying hurriedly, "It must be Fourth Uncle and Fourth Aunt who have woken up. Let's go and see Brother Han quickly."

Xin Nian's mind was a bit blank; she couldn't quite figure out the relationships between these people.

However, when her third sister, Xin Ruoyu, spoke up, she quickly squeezed through.

She secretly pondered, since she had a chance to live, perhaps her parents and brother could too…

Having previously received some of the original owner's memories, Xin Nian roughly understood that the original owner came from the fourth branch of the Duke's mansion.

Coincidentally, he has a father, mother, and older brother. In addition, he has a seven-year-old younger brother named Xin Mohan.

Xin Mohan was facing his mother at that moment, crying with a face full of grief and despair.

His mother's eyes looked strange after she woke up. She looked around blankly. Could she have lost her mind from the fall?
The more Xin Mohan thought about it, the more panicked she became, and she couldn't help but burst into tears.

"Daddy, Daddy, look at Mommy! What's wrong with Mommy? Waaaaah!"

His father, Xin Wenyuan, was too busy taking care of himself to do anything else. He was covering his head with one hand and receiving a huge wave of nonsensical information that didn't belong to him.

Xin Wenyuan subconsciously reached out to help his wife, muttering under his breath, "Wife, where did we get here?"

Turning his head, he found himself staring at a beautiful woman. Startled, Xin Wenyuan quickly withdrew his hand and blurted out, "Who are you?"

"Absurd!" Old Madam Yu scolded irritably. "Fourth son, what time is it? You two must not make a scene anymore."

A couple? Xin Wenyuan rubbed his head, recalling the series of complicated messages he had just received.

The fourth son? The spendthrift fourth master of the Duke of Xin's mansion?

He had just been forced to accept a wave of information in his brain, and he didn't have time to sort it out. Now he was gradually coming to his senses.

According to fragments of memory, the Xin State Duke's mansion was raided this morning, and they should be serving their sentences in jail right now, preparing to be exiled from the capital at around 5 a.m. tomorrow...

The original owner, the notorious fourth master of the Duke of Xin's mansion, was a playboy whose greatest love was teasing cats and dogs, eating, drinking, and having fun. On the day his family's property was raided, he even got into a fight with his wife, leaving them both bloodied and unconscious—truly despicable.

So, he just happened to travel through time here?

Xin Wenyuan hurriedly turned to look at his bewildered wife and tentatively called out, "Wife? Xiao Xie?" Xie Ninglan snapped back to reality, stared at the refined but unfamiliar face in front of her, and nodded frantically, almost as if her head would fall off.

Xin Wenyuan breathed a slight sigh of relief and secretly squeezed his wife's hand to comfort her.

Don't panic, he must not lose his composure at this moment.

According to the information received, the original owner of this spendthrift son had two sons and a daughter.

Leaving aside his youngest son, Xin Mohan, his eldest son, Xin Mochen, and second daughter, Xin Nian, happen to share the same name as his eldest son and beloved daughter.

However, Xin Mochen of the Duke's Mansion perfectly inherited his father's good bloodline of being a spendthrift playboy. He usually does nothing but cause trouble and does nothing of importance.

As for the young lady from the Duke's mansion who shares the same name as his precious little daughter, she has been a weak and indecisive mama's girl since childhood. She only knows how to cry and cry over the smallest things, and once she starts crying, she can't stop...

Judging by their personalities alone, they are completely unmatched by his own son and daughter.

Xin Wenyuan remained outwardly calm, but inwardly he was experiencing a turmoil of emotions, forcing himself to stay composed.

"Mom~" Poor little Xin Mohan buried his head in his mother's arms, sobbing, "Please don't argue with Dad."

Her doe-like eyes turned pitifully to Xin Wenyuan again, "Dad, please don't hit Mom anymore, okay?"

The old lady, Madam Yu, rebuked him with a stern face, "In the past, I could let you do whatever you wanted, but now you've all seen how things have come to this. I, this old woman, don't have the energy to deal with your affairs anymore."

After saying that, he looked at Xie Ninglan with a deep gaze, "If you can make it work, then make it work; if you can't, then break up. You're going to ruin even the best days. Xie, if your family comes to take you back, then go back with them. We have no objection."

Xie Ninglan was extremely flustered.

Go back? Go back where? Heavens above, who can tell her what happened?
While she was pondering, she saw a girl of about fourteen or fifteen years old, with almond-shaped eyes, peach-blossom cheeks, and fair skin, squeeze through the crowd and suddenly squat down in front of her.

Xin Nian looked at Xie Ninglan seriously, then glanced at Xin Wenyuan.

Even though the two people in front of me had changed into prison clothes, their fair skin and delicate features clearly indicated that they came from wealthy families and had been pampered.

She had absolutely no connection with her parents, who had endured many hardships during the post-apocalyptic world.

The three of them, with their eyes locked, looked at each other, their expressions gradually becoming serious.

Xin Nian took a deep breath and slowly uttered four words, "Family code."

"666!" The couple exclaimed in unison, their expressions suddenly becoming excited.

Three hands clasped tightly together, instantly evoking a feeling of unwavering loyalty despite the vicissitudes of life.

Despite Xin Nian's calm and collected demeanor, her heart was already a turbulent sea of ​​emotions.

Xin Wenyuan was also extremely excited. Fortunately, the whole family was safe and sound and no one was missing.

The next moment, Xin Nian asked, "Dad...Father, have you seen my brother?"

Xin Wenyuan snapped back to reality with a start. Oh right, he had almost forgotten about his eldest son!

Three pairs of eyes simultaneously shifted downwards, looking at Xin Mohan, who was sobbing.

"Little friend, have you seen your older brother?"

Little Xin Mohan is a bit depressed right now.

What was that family code just now? My parents really dote on my sister the most; they only told her the family code, while he knew nothing about it.

The poor thing wiped away her tears, "Big brother is still unconscious."

Xin Ruoyu squeezed next to the three of them, picked up Xin Mohan and patted him reassuringly, then sighed, "Sanlang has been unconscious for three days, and his fever hasn't gone down yet."

"She didn't wake up even though the doctor was watching over her before, but now...sigh."
