Sweet Dreams in Famine Years: The System Leads to a Brilliant Life

Zhang Laoer and Zhang Laosan, who were also at the end of the team, originally wanted to leave with Zhang Xingwang's family, but after hearing the villagers' discussions, they dared not follow.

It was not until Zhang Xingwang's family disappeared that Zhang Laoer withdrew his gaze and saw Zhang Xiaohua huddled beside Chen Yufen.

"What are you still standing there for? Go and find a way to get some food back." Zhang Laoer shouted at Zhang Xiaohua.

Zhang Xiaohua shrank back a few times in fear, but she dared not disobey Zhang Laoer's words.

After all this journey of fleeing famine, Zhang Xiaohua was no longer as arrogant and domineering as before. Without Mrs. Zhang to protect her, she became the punching bag of Zhang Laoer and Zhang Laosan.

After all, when Mrs. Zhang was around, Zhang Xiaohua had often humiliated the two brothers.

"I...I'll be there right away."

After Zhang Xiaohua finished speaking, she went out to find something to eat. When Zhang Laoer saw Zhang Xiaohua going out to find something to eat, he sat down.

Ever since Zeng Zhengen broke his arm in the cave, Zhang Laoer's temper has become much more irritable, as if he has become a completely different person.

When Chen Yufen saw Zhang Laoer sitting down, she hurried forward to massage his shoulders.

Zhao Laoer, on the other hand, sat on the ground like a big boss, enjoying himself with his eyes closed.

When Zhang Laosan saw his second brother sitting down, he also sat down. Then he ordered Li Caihua to massage his shoulders, and his two daughters to massage his legs on the left and right.

The two Zhang brothers were enjoying the massage services from their wives and children, but the villagers of Zhangjia Village on the other side were very disgusted with their behavior.

"The Zhang brothers are really immoral!"

"Okay, why bother with them so much?"

"That's right. No matter what they do, we should just take care of ourselves. Why waste our time arguing with irrelevant people like this?"

Just as everyone was talking, Zhao Xiaohua, who had gone out, came back with a small piece of steamed bread in her hand.

When Zhang Laoer saw the steamed bun in her hand, he rushed forward and snatched it away without saying a word, then stuffed it all into his mouth in one gulp.

"Second brother..."

Zhang Xiaohua originally wanted to say something, but after meeting Zhang Laoer's fierce eyes, she had to swallow the words back.

After Zhang Laoer swallowed the steamed bread, he looked up at Zhang Xiaohua and said, "Go find some more food. This little bit is not enough to fill the gaps between our teeth."

Zhang Xiaohua lowered her head, and after a while she mustered up the courage to speak.

"Second brother, I..."

However, before Zhang Xiaohua could finish speaking, Zhang Laoer interrupted him.

"If I can't get the food back, I'll sell you to a brothel in this city."

When Zhang Xiaohua heard this, he was so frightened that his face turned pale.

"No, brother, don't do that! I'm your biological sister! You can't do this to me."

Zhang Xiaohua knew that if she was sold to a brothel, her life would be over.

"Since you don't want to be sold to that kind of place, then go find us something to eat."

As soon as Zhang Laoer finished speaking, Zhao Xiaohua hurriedly ran out again.

However, after hearing this, Zhang Laosan, who was standing by, became interested.

"Brother, I think your idea is great. I'll go to the brothel and ask for the price later!"

Zhang Laoer originally just said this casually, but after hearing what Zhang Laosan said, he couldn't help but be moved.

After hearing this, Chen Yufen and Li Cuihua, who were standing by, looked sad.

Although this time they planned to sell Zhang Xiaohua to a brothel, who knows if they will be the ones sold next time!

The two sisters-in-law looked at each other and saw despair in each other's eyes.

The two Zhang brothers nearby were discussing how to get Zhang Xiaohua over there.

On the other side, Zhang Xingwang and his family have already embarked on their journey south.

After leaving Qingzhou City, Zhang Xingwang and his family headed directly south and met many refugees heading south on the way.

Later, Zhang Xingwang and his family followed a group of refugees who were also fleeing famine to Lingzhou City, but at this time the gates of Lingzhou City were closed.

There are also many refugees gathered outside the city gate at this moment. Although the number of refugees is not as large as that in Qingzhou City, there are still quite a few.

"Dad, what should we do? The city gate is not open!" Zhang Daqiang looked at his father and asked.

Anyway, Zhang Xingwang is the backbone of the family. Whenever there is any problem, everyone will look to him for decision.

Zhang Xingwang looked at the tightly closed city gate and was silent for a long time before he said, "Wait here for a while."

After hearing what Zhang Xingwang said, Zhang Daqiang and his two brothers directly found a place to put all their things down.

Not long after Zhang Xingwang and his group sat down, a group of people came from a distance. Leading them was a man in a black robe with a silver mask on his face.

Although the man's face couldn't be seen clearly, one could tell from the aura emanating from him that he must be an extraordinary person.

When the refugees saw the group coming, they spontaneously made way for them.

Soon the man and his group arrived at the city gate. Looking at the closed city gate, the man frowned slightly.

Without waiting for the man's orders, a guard beside him stepped forward and spoke to the officers and soldiers standing on the city wall.

"The prince of Liang has arrived, why don't you open the city gates quickly?"

When the officers and soldiers on the city wall heard that the Prince of Liang had arrived, they were so frightened that their legs went limp.

When the refugees at the city gate heard that the Prince of Liang had arrived, they all knelt down.

Zhang Xingwang pulled Zhang Daqiang who was still in a daze, and Zhang Daqiang came to his senses and knelt down hurriedly.

"See Crown Prince."

The officers and soldiers on the city wall also knelt down one after another.

Xiao Ruicheng, wearing a mask, waved to everyone.

"Everyone is free of charge!"

Everyone thanked Xiao Ruicheng again and then stood up.

Xiao Ruicheng said to the officers and soldiers on the tower: "Why don't you come down and open the city gate?"

Xiao Ruicheng had spoken, and the officers and soldiers on the city wall naturally dared not disobey.

In just a cup of tea, the city gate was opened.

Xiao Ruicheng led a group of secret guards into the city. Just after they entered, the city gate was closed again.

Xiao Ruicheng didn't have time to care about all this. After entering the city, Xiao Ruicheng went straight to the government office.

In the government office, the prefect Zhou Zide heard a report saying that the prince of Liang had arrived in Lingzhou city.

Zhou Zide was so frightened that he immediately stood up from his chair.

"What did you say? Who's here?" Zhou Zide asked loudly.

The man did not dare to be vague and replied immediately.

"Reporting to the Lord, it is the Prince of Liang who has arrived and is almost at the government office."
