Happiness System

Meng Yuxi frowned, "It's only been two months and you're already borrowing food?"

She sat up and said to Meng Yiyun, "Dad, although I am not the head of the Meng family, I still know that the Meng family can save some food for two years, but no matter how much food there is, it can't keep up with Zhang's mouths...

In addition, the food prepared for you will be charged separately!

I thought the Meng family had learned their lesson from the last water shortage, but I didn't expect them to be so philanthropic!

Some things are not suitable to be said outside, but it is okay for daughters to bring them up at home.

Father, have you ever thought about a year like this? Without food shipped from Tianyuan City, how would the border guards of Mo City survive?

Father, if you see the royal supplies, do you think His Majesty has prepared food for the border guards?"

Meng Yiyun was shocked. "What do you mean?"

Meng Yuxi shook her head, "My daughter doesn't mean anything!

My husband is here too, so I will make my point. No matter if my husband minds or not, I will definitely protect my father and my brothers. But as for the Meng family, I am sorry that I cannot help them a second time!"

Meng Yiyun also became worried, "Your grandfather and uncle are confused!"

"Those people barely made it through the first level, Black River Pass. They may not be able to pass the second level, Mocheng Pass. There are still third and fourth levels to come. I have limited abilities and can only protect myself. I hope my father-in-law will forgive me!"

Wen Yujin understood. Those families had fallen into decline just like the Meng family. They did not have descendants like Meng Yuxi, so they were not well prepared to begin with and would inevitably be more stingy and frugal.

But if you don't understand the importance of keeping a distance and suffer a great loss, and you don't know how to improve yourself, but instead want to rely on others, then you will lose your own value and will never be able to stand on an equal position again.

Wen Yujin and Meng Yuxi have the same idea. If the Meng family cannot correct their attitude, they will abandon the Meng family if necessary.

Meng Shijin, who was awakened by the voices behind, closed his eyes again silently.

Does it mean you will be abandoned if you don’t work hard?

With a water source, they finally no longer had to live in tents.

Having said almost everything that needed to be said, Meng Yuxi urged Wen Yujin to take a shower and went back to her room to take a nap.

"Uncle Three!"

Meng Shibai felt a little embarrassed when he saw Meng Yiyun. His ignorant child had snatched his uncle's food and almost ruined his health...

In fact, he was quite embarrassed whether it was his cousin Jiandan or the father and son of the third room, but he had to make this trip.

He forced a smile, "Why didn't you take a lunch break? Is it too hot?"

Meng Yiyun put his hands behind his back and said seriously, "You are here to look for Ajin and Xier."

Meng Shibai nodded in agreement.

Meng Yiyun snorted, "You can't even protect yourself, and you still think you can be a holy father!"

He learned these words such as Mary and Holy Father from his daughter, and now it is just right to use them to mock others.

Can’t protect yourself?

Meng Shibai didn't understand what his third uncle meant.

"follow me!"

Meng Yiyun walked towards the study room that had been cleaned up in the front yard.

After closing the door to block his view, he didn't hold back and started yelling at his nephew.

Seeing his nephew still looking confused, Meng Yiyun snorted coldly, "Do you think the royal family will protect you unconditionally? Protect the Meng family? Then why doesn't he protect those civilians?"

After that, he snorted again, then waved his hand to drive the person away, "There is no such thing as free stuff in the world!

Go back and think carefully, take care of your own family first, and don't meddle in other people's affairs all day long!"

Meng Shibai felt as if he knew some shocking secret, but also as if he knew nothing.

He walked back to his room absentmindedly, and sat by the window thinking blankly, completely forgetting about his relatives and in-laws who were still waiting for news in the study in the front yard.

Meng Yihui waited for his son but he didn't see him. He sent someone to ask and found out that his son had already returned.

He knew that something must have happened, so he sent those people away and went to look for it.

Meng Shibai did not hide anything and repeated every detail of what happened and what his uncle said without missing a single word.

Meng Yihui felt depressed and immediately went to the Wen family in person.

Meng Yiyun from the Wen family became even more worried after talking with his eldest brother. He felt that his eldest brother and sister-in-law were not fit to be the head of the family!

Those two are both peerless saints!

Sighing, he asked his eldest son to tell his daughter that he wanted to invite his parents over for dinner tonight.

It seems that for now we can only ask the old man and the old lady to come out and take care of the household!

It’s just a meal, the Wen family can still afford it, and they are kind grandparents.

It just so happened that Wen Cheng and his friends went out and hunted some animal meat today, and Meng Yuxi also took out some private goods and asked the kitchen to make the meal as sumptuous as possible.

Knowing that his father and grandparents had something to discuss, Meng Yuxi and his wife tactfully left after dinner.

I originally wanted to go out for a walk, but after thinking about it, I have one more day to rest, so I might as well go out and do some private shopping...

Coincidentally with Wen Yujin's idea, they led the team out of the city.

It was a little after six, almost seven, and the sun hadn't set yet. It was still hot outside, but it was better than before when we were on the road.

In short, nothing can stop their wild hearts...

Because of the previous fruit and vegetable sales, there were quite a lot of people coming out to pick up bargains, so Meng Yuxi and the others could only go somewhere farther away.

In addition to the Wen family, also coming out this time were Wen Yujin's allies and his leaders, the Lin family.

With nearly a hundred people coming together, even Meng Yuxi has a hard time handling the situation!

But her space is running low on inventory, so she has to operate even if it's not easy. This time she chooses a secret place: sowing seeds, stimulating birth, and harvesting...

Fortunately, it was a hot summer day, the land was dry and loose, and the vegetation was sparse, otherwise her actions would have been easily discovered.

After the space was replenished, she began to randomly sow seeds to stimulate growth.

In the end, except for her, everyone else ran back leading their horses.

Back in Sand City, even though night had fallen, they amazed everyone again.

Then another large group of people came out to pick up bargains.

The Meng family felt very uncomfortable being involved. My cousin didn't ask them but brought the Lin family along instead!

They began to reflect...

It wasn't that Meng Yuxi didn't call the Meng family on purpose, but she simply didn't think of it. After all, they didn't live together. As for Wen Yujin, of course she didn't remind him on purpose!

He has seen his wife's dedication to the Meng family, and he does it without any selfish motives, but the Meng family is sorry for his wife's sincerity!

Meng Yuxi could only say that her husband overestimated her!

She is really not that kind of person, she is very selfish!

Look, now she ignores the Meng family.

Although the clan was very important at that time, as a married woman, she was not oppressed by the elders in the Wen family, and her husband respected and loved her, so her mother's clan became less important.

Especially since she needs to rely on her maternal clan, the relationship is really just about being comfortable when she is comfortable, and not being comfortable when she is unhappy!

Now we are fleeing from famine, there are not so many rules, strength is the only thing that matters!

She has the right to be willful!

For the next two days, Meng Yuxi did not go out and stayed at home studying food and medicine.

Meng Yiyun became a doctor after suffering from illness for a long time. He already knew some medical skills. During this period, he also studied medical books with his daughter and often followed the medical skills of the Wen family's doctors. Now he can be used as a half-doctor.

Moreover, because they were fed a lot of private food during this period, the health of the father and his two sons has improved a lot. Although they are still weak, they are no longer a drag.

The Wen family's doctor was a capable person. He taught them a physical training technique. The three of them, father and son, practiced it whenever they had time, and gradually they felt a sense of strength in their bodies.

On the day of departure, Meng Yuxi was grabbed by Xiaoqiu and Xiaoxia early in the morning.

She yawned and glanced at the hourglass, "Is it necessary to get up so early?"

Xiao Xia and Xiao Qiu nodded, "Of course there is! The water in the deep pit is only one-third of what it was before. Wen Cheng ordered them to fill up the water tanks and left some water for the master and the lady to bathe...

Madam, please don't waste this kindness, or we won't know when we'll be able to find water to bathe next time!"

Meng Yuxi could only get up and let them do whatever they wanted.

By the time my hair was dry and tied up, the day was just beginning to brighten.

Hearing the quarrel in the front yard, she walked out.

The former Meng family members were fighting for the remaining water.

Two days ago, the Meng family came to ask for help, and the Wen family also allowed each of these relatives to come and fetch three buckets of water.

The Wen family originally had more than fifty people, and with the addition of relatives and in-laws, most of the daily water supply was consumed, and there was no more water to supply others.

The government had a monopoly on four deep wells, one for the royal family, one for the army, and one for the nobles.

Although the remaining water was given to ordinary people, it was also a quota, and everyone had to personally take a container and queue up to receive a fixed amount of water.

As for those declining noble families and small families, the government would open the well given to the nobles for "selling water" at two hours every day.

Some of the Meng family’s relatives are really hopeless. At a time like this, everyone knows that water is more important and precious than food, but these people are reluctant to buy water!

So, early in the morning, I wanted to get the free water as early as possible, but the Wen and Meng families had already taken the clean and clear water.

There were probably only ten or eight buckets of turbid water left. None of the families wanted to admit defeat. Everyone felt that they had a closer relationship with the Meng family and should get more water, so they started arguing.

Meng Yuxi knew the whole story, but she had no intention of judging the case for these people. She sneered and turned away.

So she became the target of everyone's attack. When Wen Cheng heard these people slandering her mistress, she drove them all away in anger.

What’s even more infuriating is that he asked people to fetch up all the water from the bottom, and then randomly picked a lucky passerby to give water to!

When the news reached the inner courtyard, Meng Yuxi felt relieved. "This Wen Cheng is quite interesting! Xiao Xia, go cut a melon and give Wen Cheng half of it as a reward!"

Of course they eat the remaining half themselves!

Wen Yujin had already gone to work before Meng Yuxi got up, so naturally he had no share of the melon. Half a melon weighed five or six pounds, and Meng Yuxi and his two sons certainly couldn't finish it, so the melon naturally went to Xiaoxia and Xiaoqiu.

Following their master around and serving him, the two of them were often fed special meals.

Over there, the Meng family’s relatives were driven out, but the Wen family still gave away water for free in front of them. Isn’t this a slap in their faces?

A group of people ran to the Meng family to complain angrily.

Old Master Meng sighed in embarrassment, confusion, and a bit of embarrassment, "My family's water bucket is mostly empty. The Meng family has long been in decline. How can we still have any status and face... Although my Xier no longer has a mother-in-law, she can't live without the head of the family..."
