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

Chapter 34 This brat is starting to seem reliable.

The prisoners stopped howling, probably because they were really frightened by the earth-shaking incident. Now, they didn't need the guards to urge them on; they automatically followed the group and walked quickly.

Yu leaned on Zhao Xun's shoulder, her expression unchanging, but in her heart she was once again grateful to her unreliable youngest son.

I used to think it was a waste to exchange water and food for Zhao's strength, but now I realize that the brat was quite farsighted.

If it weren't for the spendthrift son arranging for this girl to help carry people, she probably would have lost her life on the way.

Ruoyu is a good child. After her fever subsided, she insisted on walking by herself and asked Miss Zhao to carry her. Otherwise, at this rapid marching speed, the journey would have been quite difficult.

The loss of a whole cartload of shackles and chains has made the journey much easier for the convicts.

Currently, apart from bandits and serious criminals like Longhu Village and Boss Sha who are in shackles and chains, everyone else is free.

Xin Nian didn't sleep all night, but her spirits were still pretty good.

Xie Ninglan whispered beside her, "Daughter, where did you go? Why were you gone for so long? Your dad and I were so worried."

Xin Nian winked at her mother, and without going into details, just said that she had pulled off a big heist and gotten a lot of good stuff.

"Xiao Chang has also transmigrated here." Xie Ninglan suddenly became happy. "I wonder how much of her superpowers have recovered. With Xiao Chang here, we won't have to worry about running out of water anymore. That's great."

"Judging from what the Chang family said, the original owner of this body was mentally impaired for over ten years and only regained consciousness last night." Xin Nian pouted, "She probably hasn't even touched the threshold of regaining her superpowers yet."

"That's true, there's no rush." ​​Xie Ninglan regretted not being able to say more to Xiao Chang before the mother and daughter were pulled away by the Chang family.

“Daughter, when our team was fighting that disgusting two-headed monster together, we were about to die together. You and we were both transported into this world, and now Xiao Chang has come along too. I was thinking that our team of six has now been completed, and we have five. I reckon your eldest brother will have had his soul replaced when he wakes up.”

Xin Nian nodded. Yes, Big Brother must have come. Big Brother is so strong that even the weakling Xiao Chang came. There's no way Big Brother wouldn't come.

"I think Fatty will most likely be here too."

"Mm." Xin Nian nodded again. That chubby kid is so stubborn; if he sees they're gone, he'll probably jump down and fight to the death, even if it means dying with them...

Do you think Fatty might be in this exile group too?

Xin Nian: ...

"Can't you hope for something good for him? Think about it, Fatty has always been incredibly lucky, he shouldn't have such a disastrous start."

"Ah, right." Xie Ninglan nodded. "Ah, right, right, daughter, you're right. We can't compare him to that unlucky guy Xiao Chang. Even if Fatty transmigrated, he probably wouldn't start out as an exile. He might end up as a grassland khan or a northwestern warlord or something?"

That's unnecessary; Xin Nian found herself in a state of bewilderment, neither laughing nor crying.

“I remember Xiao Chang once said that she was smaller than a thermos when she was born, and her parents thought she couldn’t survive, so they abandoned her on the roadside to fend for herself.”

"After the orphanage took her in, she looked like she was about to die eighteen times a day. Before she turned five, she slept fifteen or sixteen hours a day. The director named her Mianmian, taking the director's surname. Later, they realized that this name was particularly bad; 'Chang Mianmian, Chang Mianmian' sounds like she's about to sleep forever..."

Xin Nian couldn't help but laugh.

"Fortunately, Xiao Chang is a promising child." Xie Ninglan was muttering to herself when she saw Mei Zhuqing, the second daughter-in-law of the eldest son's family, leading her youngest daughter, Xin Man'er, walking briskly towards them.

"Sixth Sister, thanks to your timely help, my mother-in-law and sister-in-law asked me to come and express their gratitude."

Xin Nian nodded, her gaze falling on her stomach, and she frowned. "Do you know you're pregnant?"

Mei Zhuqing paused for a moment, then nodded with a wry smile, "I know."

"Have you felt any heaviness or pressure in your lower abdomen these past couple of days?"

Mei Zhuqing nodded quickly, "Sixth Sister, you noticed that? Could it be that you have medical skills?" Xin Nian didn't reply, but simply said, "You've been running around these past two days, do you know that your pregnancy is a bit unstable?"

"You still have to take care of your little girl, so don't worry about anything else. Take good care of yourself."

The ancients were so virtuous. They were pregnant and had to take care of their young daughters, barely managing to keep up with everything, yet they still had to serve their delicate mothers-in-law...

The impression that Aunt Nie, the eldest daughter-in-law, left on Xie Ninglan and her husband over the past few days was that she was always crying!

I cry so much, it's like I can't stop crying. All day long, whenever I encounter something trivial, all I can do is cry!

Mei Zhuqing smiled bitterly, "I consulted a doctor three days before the raid, and I was already more than three months pregnant at the time. I thought the pregnancy was stable, and with my physical condition, I should be able to travel without any problems. I never expected... that the child would still not be with me."

"If that's the case... there's nothing we can do."

Xin Nian thought for a moment and asked her, "Do you want to keep this child?"

Mei Zhuqing replied almost without hesitation, "Of course I wanted to. If I could, I would do everything in my power to keep this baby. But... there are so many dangers and hardships along the way, and many things are beyond my expectations."

Xin Nian hummed in agreement. "If you're determined to keep it, I can help you."

"But you need to think it over carefully. Once the child is born, it will be your lifelong responsibility, and you can't shirk it. Your second brother is on the front lines protecting our country, and he might already be gone. If you keep the child, you'll be a widow raising two children alone. In that wild and desolate place in the north, life will definitely be much harder than for others."

“I’m not afraid of hardship. I have hands and feet, and once I recover, I’ll have inexhaustible strength. I can work. Sixth Sister, if you have a way, please help me.” Mei Zhuqing looked intently at Xin Nian.

Xin Nian nodded slightly, "It's good that you've made up your mind. I'll brew you some medicine tonight to help with the pregnancy. If you take it three times, there shouldn't be any major problems."

Mei Zhuqing was overjoyed and thanked him repeatedly.

Xin Nian glanced at Mei Zhuqing, "Have you practiced martial arts?"

Mei Zhuqing smiled sheepishly, "I learned some martial arts from my father at home before, but it was very basic."

"It's fine." This girl is pregnant; if she weren't so physically strong, she would have suffered a lot on the way.

If it were someone as delicate as Nie, let alone trying to save the pregnancy, she probably would have died along with Buddha...

"Just hang in there a little longer. Come find me when you have a break in the evening."

"Okay, I will definitely hold on."

Xin Nian glanced at Xin Wanqing not far away and said expressionlessly, "Why does Eldest Sister always hang out with the Third Branch of the family? Auntie sprained her ankle, let her go and take care of her."

Mei Zhuqing spoke of this with a hint of helplessness, "Third Aunt was a little frightened just now and can't walk very well. My eldest sister said she'd help her for a while."

"And I also had to take care of my fourth and fifth sisters, who were also quite frightened."

Xin Nian silently rolled her eyes.

The eldest sister is a good person, but she's too much of a saint. Her own side is full of orphans and widows; why should she care about the affairs of the third wife's family?

The man from the third wife's family didn't die, so how did he manage to disappear perfectly?

Perhaps she doesn't understand ancient large families.

As the eldest sister, her responsibility is probably to take good care of all her younger brothers and sisters...
