Exile at the start? Milkball filming, hoarding billions of resources

When they tasted the milk tea, everyone was amazed.

"What is this? It tastes amazing!"

"Absolutely, just like that...that chocolate, one sip and you feel refreshed and energized."

After the meal, everyone sat on the floor and sighed with emotion.

"This is the first meal of rice I've had since I was exiled. It smells so good!"

Cheng Hu nodded.

"Thanks to the old lady, we will remember the kindness of the Shen family."

A few people who had once caused trouble with the stone monkey spoke up, somewhat embarrassed.

"Madam, we were wrong before. We shouldn't have joined the stone monkey in his nonsense."

A hint of understanding flashed across Hua Zhuyue's aged eyes.

When people are starving, they are capable of any evil deed.

But once they have enough to eat and wear and there is no longer any threat to their survival, they begin to worry about their reputation and image.

Hua Zhuyue did not humiliate them because of this.

"I understand, you were also forced into this position by the constables."

"The imperial court clearly allocated enough silver for us to eat and drink our fill, but these runners embezzled it all, and they only gave us a few hard, coarse cakes."

"I thought that as long as I was obedient, that would be enough, but I didn't expect these constables to go even further and refuse to even give us coarse bread."

Hua Zhuyue's words gave everyone a way out.

Their ugly faces, revealed in their struggle for survival, suddenly seemed reasonable.

No one reflected on their own actions; instead, they followed Hua Zhuyue and directed all their anger at these servants.

"The old lady is right, these constables are simply going too far!"

"If it weren't for them, how could we have made such a big mistake?"

"I'm down on my luck now. Before, these bailiffs would all be bowing and scraping before me! When I rise again, I'll make sure these bastards don't get away with it!"

The crowd grumbled and cursed, venting their grievances against the constables.

Shen Zhaoning was getting a little bored and secretly glanced at Qin Su.

I noticed that my second aunt was engrossed in cleaning her baton and had no intention of joining the conversation.

Seeing the faint marks on her second aunt's body, Shen Zhaoning took out the safflower oil and walked over to Qin Sumin.

She opened her small hands, her voice soft and gentle.

"Second Aunt, I see you're injured. Does it hurt?"

"This is the medicated oil I bought; I heard it's very effective for external injuries."

Qin Su glanced at the safflower oil in Shen Zhaoning's hand.

The packaging, I don't know what it's made of, has a strange sheen in the dim light, making the reddish-brown liquid inside look exceptionally appealing.

"This is?"

Shen Zhaoning introduced it in a soft voice.

"This is called safflower oil. It's said that rubbing it on an injured area will make it feel much better."

Shen Zhaoning stuffed the safflower oil into Qin Su's hand and then took out a few small capsules from her bosom.

"And this too. The doctor said it's for promoting blood circulation and relieving pain. If you take this, your second aunt won't feel pain anymore."

Qin Su touched the web of her hand.

Yesterday, when I was hitting someone with the baton, I didn't control my strength well, and my thumb and forefinger hurt terribly.

But in war, injuries are inevitable; she was used to it by now.

She never expected that Tuantuan would notice and even buy her medicine.

Not bad, it wasn't a waste of love to spoil this little guy.

A smile appeared on Qin Su's slightly tanned face.

"Ouch, this little injury of mine doesn't hurt anymore, why buy medicine? It's such a waste!"

Qin Su said it was a waste, but she was playing with the safflower oil and couldn't put it down.

Zhu Jingxian came closer and looked at her curiously.

"Is this medicine? It looks rather nice."

Xiaoman squatted down beside him like a monkey and nodded vigorously.

"It looks good, is it drinkable?"

Qin Su glanced at Shen Zhaoning, who was adorable from head to toe, and then looked at her own mischievous son.

They're all of the Shen family bloodline, so why is there such a big difference?

The two children from the third wife's family are both very good-looking and intelligent.

My own child is always running around and jumping around, never still for a moment. All he does is play and eat.

"Why are you drinking this? It's medicine! Aren't you afraid of poisoning yourself?"

Qin Su opened the safflower oil and took a gentle sniff.

"It smells quite nice. Just one sniff made me feel refreshed."

Zhu Jingxian also leaned over and took a sniff.

"It really is! I just smelled it, and I felt like my body wasn't hurting as much anymore."

Qin Su was always generous to her family, and she poured the safflower oil into Zhu Jingxian's hand.

"What good is just smelling it? Didn't you get injured yesterday? Try applying some."

Seeing everyone's curiosity about a bottle of safflower oil, Shen Zhaoning quickly spoke up.

"I still have some here..."

Qin Su glanced at the safflower oil in Shen Zhaoning's hand and waved her hand.

"I don't have three heads and six arms, I don't need that many. You should keep them for your grandmother."

Hua Zhuyue glanced at the prisoners inside the room.

Almost everyone was injured, and they were grimacing and wincing as they moved, looking like they were in great pain.

Hua Zhuyue took out the remaining safflower oil.

"We have no use for this extra bottle of medicinal oil. Any brave souls who need it can take it."

Cheng Hu took the safflower oil without ceremony and rubbed it on his body.

"The old lady is really generous."

Medicine isn't cheap.

Hua Zhuyue smiled, her eyes narrowed.

"Accumulated jade and piled gold bring high official rank, but disaster strikes and all is vanished in an instant."

"Fame and fortune are nothing but fleeting clouds, vanishing in an instant. Why be attached to external things?"

"If we can use these things to gain the help of you brave warriors, then it will be worth it."

Cheng Hu paused slightly as he applied the medicated oil.

"Don't worry, old lady. Now that I, Cheng Hu, have agreed to form an alliance with the Shen family, I will naturally protect them."

No matter how capable he is, it's not as good as not having food to eat.

He needs the Shen family's help.

Others also expressed their opinions.

"Don't worry, Madam, we are not shameless scoundrels."

"Since we accepted your gifts, we should naturally return them double."

Hua Zhuyue listened to everyone's compliments and smiled gently.

"Then I thank you all. It is difficult for us, a widow and her children, to get by. With your help, things will be much easier."

Everyone took the opportunity to express their desire to curry favor.

The Shen family was clearly the leader of the exiled group.

The direct result was that the next day, everyone was vying to carry Shen Zhaoning on their journey.

Shen Zhaoning felt as if she were surrounded by a group of smelly old men.

The stench of sweat enveloped her, almost making her faint.

It stinks!

Shen Zhaoning looked at this group of filthy people and felt like crying.

At the critical moment, Qin Su reached out and picked up Shen Zhaoning.

"This child is shy, let me hold him."

With tears in her eyes, Shen Zhaoning hugged Qin Su's neck, deeply moved.

"Second Aunt, you are so kind."

"Tuantuan must work hard to earn money in the future so that she can buy delicious food and drinks for her second aunt."

Qin Su was amused by Shen Zhaoning's childish words.

"Okay, then your second aunt thanks you in advance. When Tuantuan grows up, your second aunt will give you a dowry."

Little girls are so nice; they're so soft and fragrant when you hold them, much better than your hard, smelly son.
