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

The sun has been exceptionally strong these past few days.

Sun Xiao didn't give out flatbreads to everyone in the morning, and he didn't give out any food at noon either.

Even though they had delicious fried rice yesterday, quite a few people still couldn't hold on any longer.

Shen Zhaoning was fine, sitting in Qin Su's arms and not having to walk on her own.

Hua Zhuyue, Xiaoman, and Shen Yingying were all feeling unwell.

Qin Su simply held Shen Zhaoning with one arm and Xiaoman with the other.

Shen Zhaoning looked at the fine beads of sweat on Qin Su's forehead, pursed her lips, and spoke softly.

"Second Aunt, put Tuantuan down. Tuantuan can walk by herself."

Qin Su, however, refused to let go.

"It's so hot today, you'll probably faint from the heat after just a few steps."

She took out old clothes from her bundle and covered the two children's heads with them.

"You guys hold on for now, it'll at least provide some shade."

Although the clothes were thin, they provided some shade from the sun.

Shen Zhaoning looked at the withered yellow grass by the roadside in this small shady spot, feeling depressed.

She turned her head and glanced at Xiaoman. Xiaoman looked unusually listless, showing none of his usual energy.

Shen Zhaoning felt somewhat uneasy.

She moved closer to Xiaoman and tugged at Xiaoman's sleeve.

"Brother Xiaoman, are you alright?"

Xiaoman listlessly looked up at her.

"I'm fine, I just feel a little nauseous."

Shen Zhaoning remembered the Huoxiang Zhengqi Water she had bought and hurriedly took it out of her bosom.

"Have some of this; it's said to treat heatstroke."

When Xiaoman heard that this stuff could be drunk, her face immediately lit up with excitement.

"Yay!"

Shen Zhaoning handed the Huoxiang Zhengqi Water to Xiaoman.

Xiaoman studied it for a long time before finally opening the medicine bottle with her teeth. Because she didn't control her strength well, the medicine sprayed into her mouth.

A strong medicinal smell immediately wafted out.

Shen Zhaoning covered her nose and spoke cautiously.

"Brother Xiaoman, you smell a little bad."

Xiaoman retched as she tried to defend herself.

"No... Hmm~ I think I smell really good~ Hmm~"

Shen Zhaoning subtly moved aside.

"Really? Would you like another one?"

Xiaoman waved her hands in a panic.

"No need, I feel like I'm already more than halfway recovered, so it's okay to take less medicine."

Xiaoman loves to eat, he even wants to pick up the poop on the roadside to taste its saltiness, but now he's so disgusted with this medicine!

Shen Zhaoning held the empty medicine bottle to her nose and smelled it.

Surprisingly, there are things that even Xiaoman's older brother doesn't like.

That's really rare.

I must say, although this medicine tastes terrible, it's very effective.

After taking a dose of medicine, Xiaoman felt much more energetic and soon started urging others to go downstairs and walk by themselves.

Xiaoman scratched herself: "Sitting in my mother's lap is too boring, I want to walk by myself."

Qin Su knew he was a restless little rascal, so she didn't make things difficult for him and put him down.

Shen Zhaoning glanced at Hua Zhuyue and Shen Yingying, who both looked unwell, and then gave them the medicine.

Shen Yingying looked at the medicine bottle with a look of resistance.

"What kind of medicine is this? Is it even reliable?"

"When you see a doctor, they usually do the observation, listening, questioning, and palpation. You didn't ask any questions, you didn't even know if it was the right medicine for my condition, and you just gave me the medicine. Are you sure you're not going to kill me with it?"

Wan Zhenzhen glanced at the medicine in Shen Zhaoning's hand, her expression somewhat indifferent.

"If you had the medicine, why didn't you bring it out sooner!"

"Didn't you see how upset Yingying is?"

Hua Zhuyue studied it for a while before opening the medicine.

"Tuantuan doesn't know how to tell fortunes, how did she know Yingying would get heatstroke?"

Although Shen Zhaoning is young, she is not without a temper.

She puffed out her cheeks and snatched the medicine back from Shen Yingying's hand.

"You all seem so energetic, you don't look sick at all. I'll give this medicine to someone else."

As Shen Zhaoning spoke, she actually took the medicine and gave it to the others to drink.

The person who took the medicine thanked Shen Zhaoning repeatedly.

Shen Zhaoning returned to her grandmother's side with satisfaction and stuck out her tongue at Wan Zhenzhen.

"I think my cousin can hold on, so I gave the medicine to someone who needs it more. Isn't Tuantuan great and smart!"

Wan Zhenzhen was so angry that her face turned pale.

"Shen Zhaoning, are you out of your mind from the heat?! We're family!"

"What do you gain by giving the medicine to those outsiders, besides a few insincere thanks?"

Shen Zhaoning tilted her head back, her face full of displeasure.

"When outsiders receive my medicine, they will at least say a few insincere thanks to me, but my aunt and cousin never thank me. You treat me worse than outsiders."

Wan Zhenzhen never expected that Shen Zhaoning would dare to talk back to her.

His face immediately darkened.

"Shen Zhaoning, do you have any manners at all! I'm your aunt, how can you talk to me like that!"

Shen Zhaoning, hands on her hips, retorted defiantly.

"How dare you talk to me like that? I'm your niece!"

Shen Zhaoning, though small in stature, stood with her hands on her hips and responded fiercely to Wan Zhenzhen. Her adorable appearance immediately drew laughter.

"How can an adult argue with a child?"

A prisoner who was exiled after being reported by his family curled his lip and said disdainfully.

"What does it matter if you're family? What does it matter if you're strangers? Many times, family members you spend every day with are not as good as strangers you've only met once!"

"That's right, that's right. Since we're family, we should support and understand each other. How can we be so shameless as to take each other's efforts for granted?"

Wan Zhenzhen has always been admired and emulated by everyone.

She was always the one criticizing others, but now that so many people were criticizing her in public, she felt ashamed and spoke up in displeasure.

"Shen Zhaoning! I've been so tolerant of you because I pity you for being an orphan. Don't go too far."

"Give me the medicine, and I'll let bygones be bygones today."

Shen Zhaoning certainly wasn't that heartless to give all the medicine to others.

She had actually left medicine for Shen Yingying, but after hearing Wan Zhenzhen's words, she didn't want to take it out at all.

Shen Zhaoning hugged her chest tightly, glaring angrily at Wan Zhenzhen.

"I don't……"

Wan Zhenzhen was too lazy to say anything more to Shen Zhaoning and went straight for it.

"You're getting more and more outrageous. I really don't know how your mother raised you. She's spoiled you rotten."

Hearing her aunt mention her mother made Shen Zhaoning feel very sad.

If her mother were still alive, she would definitely protect her and her brother, and wouldn't let her be bullied by her aunt like this.

No matter how much Shen Zhaoning resisted, she was no match for Wan Zhenzhen.

Wan Zhenzhen snatched the medicine from her arms and gave her a shove.

She fell backward, but a thin hand caught her.

Shen Zhaoning turned around and saw her brother Shen Yu staring angrily at their aunt with a sullen face.

"Auntie is so curious about how Mother taught us; could it be that she doesn't have a mother herself?"
