"We need manpower everywhere right now, and you're still asking Jiang Zui to split up the family. In the end, all the good stuff Jiang Zui gets will go to the Qi family."

I truly regret letting Qi Chen marry Jiang Zui in the first place.

"If it weren't for that feisty Qi Chen, Jiang Zui wouldn't have rebelled against us."

Liu Yu started babbling on and on, and Jiang Hongsheng roared, "Enough!"

"There's no need to bring this up again."

The Zhao family lived right next to the Jiang family, so Zhao Xingyuan witnessed the whole process.

Zhao Xingyuan's silence made Jiang Zhou anxious. He said, "Xingyuan, I'm sorry, I didn't know Mother would treat me this way..."

"Jiang Zhou, I'm fine." Zhao Xingyuan smiled at Jiang Zhou, thinking to herself: As the one who benefited, how could Jiang Zhou not know about Jiang Zui's matter?

And he... already knew, but... pretended not to know.

Over the past month, Zhao Xingyuan had been silently observing Jiang Zui and Qi Chen's every move, feeling incredibly bitter inside.

He didn't know how to describe it; it was like... the care that was once exclusively yours was given to someone else.

Zhao Xingyuan glanced at Jiang Zhou beside her, a hint of loneliness flashing in her eyes.

He knew Jiang Zhou's feelings for him, but he... had no feelings for Jiang Zhou.

Meanwhile, after Jiang Zui returned, Qi Chen eagerly approached him, asking with concern, "Husband, are you... alright?"

Qi Chen and Yin Yue had also heard about the matter between Jiang Zui and the Jiang family from others.

Qi Chen wanted to go find Jiang Zui, but Yin Yue stopped him, saying, "This is Jiang Zui's own business, let him handle it properly."

Hearing Yin Yue's words, Qi Chen gave up the idea of ​​going to find Jiang Zui.

Jiang Zui looked at the worried look on her husband's face and smiled, saying, "Don't worry, I'm fine."

What could possibly be wrong with him?

He was overjoyed to have gotten rid of a family of vampires.

He could finally be free from the Jiang family's opinions.

Qi Yi and his two companions brought back a lot of wild fruits and sweet potatoes, but unfortunately they couldn't find firewood, so they had to eat the sweet potatoes raw.

Although it was tough, at least we weren't starving.

For the next three days, Jiang Zui and Qi Yi went out to find food, leaving Yin Yue and Qi Chen in the cave.

Jiang Zui was worried that if they weren't in the cave, someone might cause trouble, so he asked the officials to keep an eye on them.

Because of the information about the food brought by Jiang Zui, the officials readily agreed to the matter.

There were many officers and soldiers, and two-thirds of them would be sent out every day to find food, but this food was only enough to sustain them.

As for others, if they want food, they need to spend money to buy it.

Otherwise, you can risk your life to go out and find it yourself.

The entire Jiang family only has two adult males, Jiang Hongsheng and Jiang Zhou. Jiang Xuan is not included, as he is not yet an adult.

Finding food for seven or eight people is very difficult.

Furthermore, since many people had no money, they had to go out to search for wild fruits and sweet potatoes, which had already been picked up by others in the surrounding areas, so they had to go to more distant places to search.

But this also increases the danger.

After several days of continuous rain, the soil on the mountain has begun to loosen slowly. There are no abnormalities in the cave area yet, but other places have collapsed.

Under these circumstances, Liu Yu set his sights on Jiang Zui.

The Qi family consisted of six people, including Jiang Zui and Qi Chen, but four of them went out to find food, and they always brought back a lot of food.

Jiang Hongsheng, persuaded by Liu Yu, also nodded in agreement.

He thought that if the Qi family was really willing to help the Jiang family, then he could treat Jiang Zui better.

At this moment, Jiang Hongsheng was still thinking about the private money and provisions he had hidden away, unaware that Jiang Zui had already seized them all.

To prevent Jiang Zui from refusing his request, he also asked Zhao Xingyuan to help persuade him.

Zhao Xingyuan also wanted to see her standing in Jiang Zui's heart, so she agreed to Liu Yu's request.

Liu Yu brought Zhao Xingyuan, Jiang Li, and Jiang Zhou to find Jiang Zui.

At that moment, Jiang Zui and the Qi family had just returned from outside, carrying a pile of wild fruits and sweet potatoes.

Liu Yu happened to see this, and a hint of jealousy flashed in her eyes. Jiang Zhou and Jiang Li, who were standing to the side, both looked envious and possessive, wishing they could immediately take the item back to their own territory.

Zhao Xingyuan saw Jiang Zui and Qi Chen being intimate. Jiang Zui found a sweet fruit outside and washed it.

After returning, she casually put her things down, fed Qi Chen a wild fruit, and Qi Chen happily squinted his eyes, saying coquettishly, "Husband, I want more."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Zui took out a pile from his arms and presented it to Qi Chen, saying indulgently, "Look, this is enough, isn't it?"

"Mmm, that's enough, that's enough." Qi Chen nodded happily.

Seeing this, Zhao Xingyuan felt a pang of sadness. Jiang Zui used to spoil him just like that. Whatever he wanted, whether he had it or not, he would give it to him.

Liu Yu, with a loving mother's expression, said, "Little Zui is back! You had a very fruitful day."

With Jiang Zui around, the Qi family is always "lucky."

Jiang Zui, seeing Liu Yu's ill-intentioned look, coldly asked, "What is it?"

"Ah, our Xiao Zui is so savvy, it's a long story..." Liu Yu's face was full of fake smiles and flattery.

"Then let's make it short."

Qi Chen disliked Liu Yu, and after learning about Jiang Zui's past from Jiang Zui, he felt even more disgusted. Therefore, seeing Liu Yu's incessant chatter and pretentious manner, he immediately interrupted him.

Upon hearing this, Liu Yu's lips twitched, but since she needed his help at the moment, she swallowed her grievances.

"Xiao Zui, as you know, the Jiang family has many members, but only your father and Zhouzhou are adult men. Your father is old, and he feels unwell every time he goes out to find food."

Even though you've separated from the family, the Jiang family is still your family. Can you help...?

"You want me to help you find food?"

Jiang Zui's nonchalant tone made Liu Yu's eyes light up. Thinking Jiang Zui had agreed to her request, she excitedly exclaimed, "You agreed!"

"I didn't agree." Jiang Zui's next words instantly extinguished Liu Yu's excitement.

"Jiang Zui, don't push your luck. My mother has already come to beg you herself, what more do you want?" Jiang Li said angrily when Jiang Zui refused.

Zhao Xingyuan chimed in, "Brother Jiang Zui, you and your uncle and aunt are still family. Even if you've separated, you still share the same blood."

Besides... and seeing that you managed to find so much food, sharing some with your aunt and uncle wouldn't make much difference to you."

Zhao Xingyuan secretly glanced at the food next to Qi Chen. There were all kinds of wild fruits, lots of sweet potatoes, and even a pheasant.

Although Zhao had an older brother, he could only eat three or four wild fruits a day to stave off hunger, just enough to keep him from starving.

Yet Qi Chen in front of me has so much food.

At this moment, Zhao Xingyuan's regret reached its peak!
