"Shut up." She was annoyed when her granddaughter called her Old Lady Ye. She turned to look at Yu Xiuying and said, "This is the good daughter you taught. I am her grandmother after all. Look at her attitude."

Yu Xiuying turned her face away: "You have already looked through the things, you can leave now."

Old Lady Ye was furious: "This is your attitude. I am your mother-in-law after all."

Ye Shian immediately made a stop gesture: "Stop, stop, stop. If you want to show off your power as a mother-in-law, go find Ye Lian'er's mother. Don't act so arrogantly here. Letting you look through it doesn't mean we are afraid of you. It's just that the weather is hot and the sun is strong and we don't want to waste time talking to someone like you. Mom, sit down and rest for a while. Let's go when the sun is not so scorching."

Ye Xiuying responded and really sat back down holding Ziyuan.

How could Old Lady Ye bear it? Ye Lian'er, who was standing in the scorching sun in the distance, couldn't stand it anymore and couldn't help but urge this side.

"Grandma, the sun is scorching. Let's find a place to rest."

Seeing that there was no good food and the sun was making people uncomfortable, Xiaoshan was not happy: "Grandma, I'm hot."

Old Lady Ye glared at Ye Shian fiercely and said, "Let's go."

Ye Zhankui raised his head and looked around. There was indeed no shade around. The place where Ye Shian and his mother were not only had no shade, but it was even hotter. It was indeed suspicious for them to hide there.

But when I looked through their bags just now, there was really nothing in them, so why were they avoiding people?

Ye Zhankui thought about it for a while but couldn't figure it out, so he just stopped caring about it, drank some water and leaned against the roadside to rest.

"Let's divide the things up later, and let everyone take some with them."

Xiao Shan didn't understand: "Dad, do we have to break off our relationship with grandma too?"

Ye Zhankui patted his son's head and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? We will be with your grandma forever."

When Old Lady Ye heard this, she was so happy that she thought that this son must be her own son. It would be impossible to raise someone else's son well.

"Your father is a filial man, not like those ungrateful people."

Ye Zhankui continued, "It will take another seven or eight days to get to Huainan City. We don't have much food left, and there are too many people on the road. We're afraid it will be unsafe. Let's divide the food equally among everyone. If there is anything, we can give some away. This way, we can still have some left. Even if we get separated, we won't have a hard time as long as we have food in our hands."

Ye Hai felt that what his father said made sense and started to pack his things.

"Lian'er, take off your earrings too." After cleaning up, Tian looked up at her daughter. The silver earrings were not valuable, but it was always a good idea to keep a low profile while fleeing from famine.

Ye Lian'er touched her earrings. She liked these earrings very much and had been wearing them since she bought them. However, when she thought of her mother asking her to take them off, she obediently took them off and put them away carefully.

It was not until the sun was not so scorching that the Ye family set out for Huainan City again.

On the other side, Ye Shian was sure that no one would come here again, so she immediately took out cold noodles and cold skin from the space.

"Mom, which one do you want to eat?"

Yu Xiuying looked at the two bowls in front of her, each of which looked delicious. She hesitated for a moment and said, "I see this is noodles, so I'll eat this.

Ye Shian took out disposable chopsticks and thoughtfully helped Yu Xiuying stir the cold noodles so that the soup inside could better combine with the noodles: "This is cold noodles. It's icy and cool, which is best for eating at this time."

As he said this, he pulled the cold noodle bowl in front of him and said, "This bowl is cold noodle, and it's also very delicious."

Yu Xiuying squatted there with the bowl in her hand and couldn't wait to take a bite. It was delicious. She had never thought that noodles could be cooked like this.

"Is it tasty?"

Yu Xiuying nodded: "It's delicious, sour and sweet, and very cold. It's really delicious."

Ye Shian was not surprised by this answer. The food of the ancients was too light, not as rich as the food of modern people. "Hehe, I have something even better here. When we settle down, I will bring them out for mom to eat. I guarantee that every one of them will be delicious."

Ye Shian kept talking while Yu Xiuying lowered her head and took another bite. Suddenly, her nose felt sore and tears started falling. The tears dropped into the bowl one by one and could not stop falling.

She had a hard life in the first half of her life. When she was a child, there was a flood in her home and her parents died. She had not had a good day since she married into the Ye family. Her husband was a good man, but he was indeed a foolishly filial person. No matter what her mother-in-law said or did, she never dared to disobey, even if it meant selling her own daughter or even letting her die.

She felt that she must have done something wrong in her previous life, which caused her to suffer like this in this life.

But now she has a different life. The past thirty years of her life were not as happy and comfortable as these few short days. For others, it was sleeping in the open and escaping from the disaster, but for her it was not.

During this period of time, Yu Xiuying's food has been much better than what she ate at the Ye family.

Eggs are a must-eat every day, and so are the porridges. They look similar but have different names, such as sesame paste, rice paste, nutritional powder, and oatmeal porridge. Although they are all made with boiling water, their tastes are different.

The most important thing is that she no longer has to endure the oppression of her mother-in-law, no longer has to face endless work every day, no longer has to be scolded for not giving birth to a son, and no longer has to endure hunger.

Noticing that Yu Xiuying was in a bad mood, Ye Shian quickly put the bowl aside and said, "Mom, what's wrong with you? Why are you crying? Is this cold noodle too cold?"

Yu Xiuying shook her head.

"Then, is it too spicy? But I didn't add chili oil..."

Yu Xiuying continued to shake her head. Seeing Ye Shian was so anxious, she quickly wiped away her tears and said, "It's great to have you, Mom."

Ye Shian looked at the face in front of him that was familiar to his mother, and responded seriously: "Mom, it's great to have you."

After Yu Xiuying finished eating, Ye Shian spoke again: "Mom, you and Ziyuan should go into the space and sleep for a while. When you are almost done resting, we can leave."

Yu Xiuying quickly shook her head: "No, actually, eating like this is already very risky. In the future, we should not bring out such ostentatious food. As for going in, it is even more unacceptable. It is always too eye-catching for a person to disappear out of thin air."

The appearance of Xiaoshan today was a good reminder for them.

"Well, I'll be careful."

Seeing that the Ye family was resting not far away, Yu suggested, "Shi'an, let's rest here today and leave tomorrow."

Ye Shian glanced at the Ye family in the distance and said, "Mom doesn't want to be with the Ye family, right?"

"There's no need for us to add to their troubles."

"They go their way, and we go our way. What worries us? It's so chaotic now. One more day on the road means more danger. The sooner we can reach our destination, the sooner we can feel at ease. Besides, they've already gone through our things today. What else can they do?"

The most important thing is that if she doesn't go together, she won't be able to punish Old Lady Ye.

Yu Xiuying thought about it and felt that what her daughter said made sense: "Okay then."
