If Madame Li wanted dumplings, she couldn't do it. On the contrary, she even ended up throwing a few holes. This made her feel like she was holding back her anger. She almost took a deep breath, and just lashed out at him.

That night, both Madame Gao and the Jiang Clan were detained for a meal, and even Erlang and Tian Yufang were detained for half their meals.

Early the next morning, when Tian Yuqiao saw that Lady Wang and Yutang were still awake, she tiptoed to the ground and secretly took out the half bowl of dumplings that she had previously hidden in the Emptiness Realm. She quietly placed it on the wok.

In the morning, Mrs. Wang cooked a small half pot of cornmeal sauce, heated up the half bowl of dumplings left over from the previous night, and pasted some black noodle cakes on it. He took out the remaining oil from the broken tank and hastily ate it for breakfast.

To the second branch of the Tian Clan, this was already equivalent to celebrating the new year, or even more so than celebrating the new year. These days, the food had kept up. The faces of the two children from the second branch weren't as dark and gloomy as before. Instead, there was a healthy redness on their faces.

After finishing his meal, Yutang still carried his little bamboo basket and went up the mountain to dig vegetables and catch bugs to feed the chickens. Tian Yuqiao planned to make another trip to the town, but Lady Wang also wanted to follow.

Lady Wang's reason was very simple. The embroidery threads at home were not enough. After all, Tian YuQiao had brought back a little too much cloth, so the threads at home were not enough. The remaining ones were the embroidery threads saved by the Wang clan. Although some of them were left in each color, they were all small threads that were not short or half a length in length.

Tian Yuqiao had originally planned to help Mrs. Wang buy them back, but Mrs. Wang said that she had been sick all this time and didn't have much to do at home. She planned to buy more daily necessities.

Mrs Wang already believed in Tian Yuqiao selling the herbs. Moreover, she also gave two taels of silver to Mrs Wang. After all, she was in charge of the finances of the family, so Mrs Wang had to extend her hand to buy things.

Mrs Wang did not ask how much money Tian Yuqiao had left. She was surprised to see two taels of silver.

”Qiao'er, your little brother hasn't come back yet. If we don't lock the door, I'm afraid your mother will bring someone here to search for something.” However, if we lock the door, Yutang will not be able to come in once we return. Lady Wang carefully pocketed the silver and asked.

”Mom, I'll inform Grandma Chrysanthemum that I can't come in when I return. I will definitely go to Grandma Chrysanthemum's house, so we can just have Grandma Chrysanthemum tell him that.” Tian Yuqiao said with a smile.

Chrysanthemum's home was on the way. Lady Wang told Pillar Wife about the matter, and together with Tian Yuqiao, they went to the village entrance to wait for the ox-cart ride to the town.

In addition to the mule-cart in the pillars, there were two other families with ox-carts in their homes. They would usually bring the villagers to the town to earn some money while at the same time.

Zhang Ronghua soon arrived with his oxcart. A few women who also wanted to enter the town paid a copper coin to each person according to their size, and even Lady Wang and Tian Yuqiao were no exception.

After everyone paid the driver, the ox-cart slowly moved forward.

However, just as they left the village, there were two boys who were worried about the Tian Residence. They were secretly hiding behind the houses in the west wing and roasting bird eggs.

The two men were Jiro and Saburo. They had just found four eggs in a nest today. Since he didn't carry any flint or paper with him, he hurriedly ran home to roast the eggs.

”Second Brother, you must not let Milkman and this Aunt see this egg, or else they will definitely take it from you again. What do you mean, you have to feed Fourth Uncle's brain?”

As his eyes rolled around, the two sneakily entered the old mansion through the courtyard gate and went straight to the west wing.
