Chapter 20

When Su Mo returned to the temple, he came to Zhang Guilan and whispered in her ear.

"Mom, I just went out to relieve myself, and I seemed to see eggs in the haystack. It was too dark, so I couldn't see clearly."

Su Mo couldn't take out the eggs by herself, lest someone would make irresponsible remarks.

That's why she hid the eggs in the hay.

In this way, Zhang Guilan would go out with her and take out the eggs, which would be fair and aboveboard.

Zhang Guilan's eyes lit up: "Really?"

"Yeah, but I didn't see it clearly. It might have been left by a pheasant."

"Come on, mother and you go take a look!"

She hadn't eaten anything in the past two days, and her stomach growled when she heard the word "egg", and her mouth was secreting gluttonous fluid.

"Let's go pick it up quickly before others pick it up."

"Do you have a stomachache?" Su Mo's eyes were bright.

Zhang Guilan understood what he said, and then she ran out with her hands on her stomach, as if she would defecate in her pants if she ran slower.

Su Mo followed closely and said to the leading official Ding Yu, "My mother has a stomachache. I'm going to take a look."

"it is good."

Ding Yu was still wondering. Su Mo cooked wild vegetables for them during the day, and it worked for them even if they drank it. Why did Zhang Guilan still have a stomachache?

Anyway, with Yan Yi here, it was impossible for the two of them to run away, so he didn't think much about it.

Su Mo led Zhang Guilan to the place where the eggs were hidden.

The two of them grabbed each other.

"One, two, three, four, five." Zhang Guilan counted, with uncontrollable excitement on her face, "There are five eggs in total."

"Mom, we will send three to the officials at once, one for you and your husband, five are just right."

Su Mo thought that they had extra things for nothing. Even if these things were picked up in name, the officials would still have to cover their mouths.

Anyway, she has space and can eat whenever she wants.

Zhang Guilan didn't know that Su Mo had space. When she saw Su Mo dividing the remaining two eggs between her and Yan Yi, she was moved to tears.

"Child, you and Yi'er each have one for the two remaining eggs. Mom is getting older. You young people should eat more, and you can get more protection on the road to exile, right?"

Not knowing what was going on, Su Mo felt the tip of her nose suddenly sore and almost broke her guard.

Zhang Guilan meant that if he was exhausted on the road, he should leave food to the children so that they could survive.

At this time, most people are concerned about their own interests, and there are very few people like Zhang Guilan.

Of course, Su Mo knew that Zhang Guilan was not just doing this for Su Mo. She also felt that Su Mo was stronger than her and that with Su Mo around, Yan Yi would be more likely to survive.

But at this moment, Su Mo still had different feelings for Zhang Guilan.

"No, mother, you and your husband can eat these eggs. I still have a lot of wild vegetables I dug during the day. I'm not hungry. Don't worry."

"The mother will eat wild vegetables, and you can eat the eggs."

Seeing Zhang Guilan's loving eyes, Su Mo smiled at Zhang Guilan from the bottom of his heart.

Her parents divorced when she was very young in her last life.

Su Mo followed her mother at first, but soon her mother had a car accident and died early.

Later, Su Mo was picked up by her father, but her stepmother had her own children and was not nice to her at all.

Su Mo lived frugally and saved money, and moved out as soon as he reached adulthood.

Later, I went to work-study, went to college, and found a job, and everything got better and better.

But the lack of family affection for so many years was like a scar imprinted on her heart.

At this moment, the scar seemed to have a small opening.The two returned to the temple talking and laughing.

Su Mo gave three eggs to Ding Yu: "We just picked these from the haystack outside. They may have been laid by pheasants. There are five in total. These three are for you."

Ding Yu nodded and took it. His impression of Su Mo was a little better. He was a capable person.

Seeing Ding Yu answer, Su Mo breathed a sigh of relief, which proved that she was truly recognized by the official.

Su Mo struck while the iron was hot: "Can I use your pot? I want to boil this egg."

Before Ding Yu could answer this time, several officials gathered around the pot had already enthusiastically made room for Su Mo.

"Come on, come on, use it as you like."

"I'm telling you, it's amazing that the method you used during the day worked really well. I haven't had any pain in my stomach since I drank the wild vegetable soup you gave me."

"That is to say, the method really works."

"If we rough guys can learn a little bit of this skill on the road, we will save ourselves a lot of trouble when we go on missions in the future."

Su Mo was convinced that the officials wanted to learn from her how to identify medicinal materials. This was not a difficult task, and with this relationship, the journey into exile would be more convenient.

"Isn't that right? We people are just illiterate, otherwise we wouldn't be able to do this hard work."

"It's hard work, but the oil and water are okay."

"Ha ha ha ha."

"By the way, girl, what's your name?"

Su Mo put the eggs into the pot and boiled them, and smiled: "Su Mo."

"Xiao Mo, my name is Ma Youcai. You can just call me Lao Ma. If you need anything in the future, just talk." A strong man with a beard said.

"Okay, Uncle Ma." Looking at the man's big muscles and round waist, he was right to call him Uncle.

"My name is Li Mingze." said a lean man with a slight build but strong muscles.

"Uncle Li."

"I am Wang Mingxian." The official with thick eyebrows and big eyes, who looked a bit fierce, introduced himself.

"Uncle Wang."

Several of the escort officers were straightforward, and it didn't take long for Su Mo to get acquainted with them.

On the other side, when the big family members saw this scene, they all had their own thoughts.

The concubine Zheng Meiyu said bitterly: "I don't know what kind of foxy tricks were used to actually strike up a conversation with several official officials."

Although the hostess Lin Mengan was not welcomed by the big family because she could not have children, today she paid for the man in the family to take off his shackles for a night, which made her feel that her status had increased.

Hearing this, he also said: "You just got lucky, you have no money, and you won't be much better in the future."

She had to remind everyone all the time that she was the only one with money.

When the eldest aunt Tang Si saw Zhang Guilan grinning, she felt very angry. She was nothing when the family was not separated. Now that the family is separated, how can she live a better life than the eldest family?
She pondered for a moment, and happened to see Su Mo walking towards Zhang Guilan with the egg.

Then he stood up for his grandmother Luo Si and said, "Mom, look at them, even if they have delicious food, they don't miss you. You are Yan Yi's own grandma."

Grandmother Luo Si closed her eyes and said nothing, but her face was visibly gloomy.

When Tang Si saw that his goal was achieved, he closed his mouth and said no more.

Grandma Luo Si was in a panic. Lin Mengan, the lobby sister-in-law, was dull and would only move after shouting. She would only exchange white/faced steamed buns when she took the money to exchange for something. She would not change anything you asked her to do.

The last time I wanted to get her money, the unlucky Zhang Guilan happened to have a family breakup.

You still have to find a way to get this money into your own hands.

The three men, the eldest cousin, the third cousin, and the uncle, looked a little gloomy, and they gathered together to whisper.
