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

After being contradicted by two children in a row, Wan Zhenzhen was so angry that her face turned distorted.

She was usually reluctant to resort to violence because of her status, but even so, she couldn't help but raise her fist.

"You two little brats, you are so disrespectful to your elders, you have no manners, and you know nothing!"

Wan Zhenzhen's voice grew louder and louder, attracting the attention of everyone around her.

Qin Su scoffed.

"I think you're the one who's disrespectful to elders, lacks manners, and is clueless."

"Mother is still sitting here. Even if someone wants to discipline the younger generation, it should be Mother who does it, not you."

Feeling humiliated by Qin Su's words, Wan Zhenzhen simply glared at Hua Zhuyue with a dark expression.

"Mother, Yingying is also your granddaughter. How can you bear to watch her die of illness?"

Yingying is the only child of the eldest son's family, so Hua Zhuyue couldn't bear to see anything happen to her.

But if we directly ask Tuantuan to take out the medicine, it will hurt Tuantuan's feelings; both are her flesh and blood.

Hua Zhuyue sighed.

"That's right, Yingying is my granddaughter, but isn't Tuantuan her too?"

"It's not that Tuantuan didn't give you medicine, it's just that you looked down on it and didn't want it. How can you blame Tuantuan?"

Shen Zhaoning could see the difficulty in Hua Zhuyue's eyes; she understood that her grandmother was worried about her cousin.

She didn't want to put her grandmother in a difficult position, but she also didn't want to let her aunt have it so easy.

She pouted, her little face puffing up.

"I bought the medicine with my own money. If your aunt wants it, she can buy it for herself too!"

Wan Zhenzhen frowned in displeasure.

When Shen Zhaoning gave the medicine to those exiles just now, she didn't ask for a single penny.

Why is it that when it comes to her, she's asking for money?

"You want money from me? I'm your aunt!"

"Shen Zhaoning, are you out of your mind?"

Hua Zhuyue's face darkened.

"Wan Zhenzhen! You always say others are rude, but I think you're the rude one! How can you talk to children like that!"

Shen Zhaoning tugged at Hua Zhuyue's sleeve and looked up at Wan Zhenzhen.

She pursed her lips, a rare seriousness showing on her petite face.

"This is something I bought. Shouldn't my aunt give me money if she wants it?"

Or was it that my aunt was deliberately trying to bully my brother and me because we were young?

Shen Yu leaned closer, a smile playing on her lips, but no smile could be seen in her eyes.

"Tuantuan, your aunt is not the kind of person who takes advantage of her age and shamelessly tries to take advantage of the younger generation."

"What my aunt means is that, as our aunt, she naturally understands our hardships more than others and is willing to buy the medicine from us at a high price."

Shen Yu's dark eyes were fixed on Wan Zhenzhen, his voice rising slightly at the end.

"Right, Auntie?"

Wan Zhenzhen dared not say no.

If I say no, then wouldn't I really be the kind of person who takes advantage of their age, shamelessly tries to bully the younger generation?

She glanced around and, seeing that everyone was watching, took out a silver note from her bosom and shoved it into Shen Zhaoning's arms.

"That's enough! With so much silver, you could buy not just one dose of medicine, but an entire pharmacy."

Shen Yu took the silver note from Shen Zhaoning's arms, folded it carefully, and put it into his own pocket.

He received the silver notes, but did not show much joy.

A child carrying gold through a bustling market; only a fool wouldn't snatch it.

If the Shen family hadn't already subdued these people, Wan Zhenzhen's act of handing the silver notes to Tuantuan in public would have certainly brought trouble to Tuantuan.

Shen Zhaoning's eyes lit up when she saw the silver note, and she immediately took out the medicine.

"Thank you, Auntie. You can come to Tuantuan next time you need to buy medicine."

Shen Zhaoning distributed the medicine in a large circle, and there wasn't much left in her hand.

Only three remain.

Wan Zhenzhen spent so much money, but in the end she only got three doses of medicine, which made her head throb with anger.

"If this place weren't so remote, I wouldn't buy your medicine."

Shen Zhaoning is just a little brat, where would she get so much money to buy medicine?

It must have been given by that old geezer Hua Zhuyue.

It's clear that all Hua Zhuyue could do is say a word to get Yingying to take her medicine, but instead she has to watch her get bullied by those two brats.

Shen Zhaoning had just earned a large sum of money and was in a great mood.

She didn't care at all about Wan Zhenzhen's cold face.

She's just a child, why should she argue with such foolish adults?

Zhu Jingxian stood at a distance, anxiously asking Hua Zhuyue.

"Mother, won't what Tuantuan and Yu'er are doing upset my sister-in-law?"

"Or perhaps we should have them return the money to my sister-in-law."

Wan Zhenzhen is not a magnanimous person. What if she really hates the two children?

Hua Zhuyue glanced at Wan Zhenzhen and saw that she was frowning and cursing as she tried to open the medicine bottle. She lowered her drooping, aging eyelids.

"Even if we return it, she might not be happy, so it's better not to return it at all."

"Besides, if Tuan Tuan hadn't provided weapons and food, no one would have followed the Shen family, and Shi Hou wouldn't have obediently returned the stolen silver notes to the Wan family."

"Tuantuan saved her from so many losses, it's not an exaggeration for her to kowtow to Tuantuan, and it's only right that she give Tuantuan some silver notes."

Zhu Jingxian hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped.

Wasn't it said that these resources were offered up voluntarily by forces that secretly followed the Shen family?

Why does it sound like all of this was brought out by Tuantuan when Mother is talking?

Before nightfall, the guards led the prisoners to a village to stay in.

There were no inns in the village, so they had to find the local village head.

When the village head met them, he looked troubled.

"My lords, in the past we would have treated you to fine wine and meat, but these past few days the drought has been severe, and the vegetables in the fields have withered. We have nothing of worthwhile to offer but some coarse tea and simple fare to fill our stomachs..."

After a long day's journey, the constables were exhausted and hungry. They would be content with just a roof over their heads, let alone simple food.

Sun Xiao nodded.

"The brothers are all tired, let's make arrangements as soon as possible."

The village head's wife had a long face, looking very unhappy.

"Gentlemen, please clear the room."

The village head wasn't just being polite; the meal was truly simple, consisting of wild vegetable porridge and wild vegetable buns.

The entire table of dishes consisted almost entirely of wild vegetables, with not a single trace of meat.

Because the food was provided by the village head, the prisoners also received a bowl of wild vegetable porridge.

Shen Zhaoning held the chipped ceramic bowl, took a small sip, and then frowned.

It's so bitter, so astringent, and so hard to drink.

This wild vegetable porridge was made without any oil or salt; it relied entirely on the natural flavor of the wild vegetables.

These wild vegetables taste delicious if you add oil and salt.

But without oil and salt, it's not as delicious.

Everyone was suffering from the pain of drinking.

Xiaoman stuck out her tongue and said to Shen Zhaoning with a mournful face.

"Tuantuan, do you still have the medicine you gave me during the day?"

I think that medicine is pretty good. Although it tastes spicy, at least it makes me feel comfortable after drinking it.
