Chapter Thirteen: There is only one rule
Qin Wan has long been aware of the current situation. His uncle's family was willing to come over, which was a big risk.
"As long as you don't betray us, I will do my best to protect you. If anyone dares to attack you, I will never let him go!"
Hearing Qin Wan's assurance, Xiao Hua nodded with satisfaction. He called another person over, who was also from the Xiao family. Xiao Hao's cousin Xiao Jun is eighteen years old this year. He is tall and strong.
Very powerful.
Xiao Hua asked Xiao Hao to carry Xiao Lie, and then asked Xiao Jun to carry Qin Wan's big cloth bag, while An went over to support Cui Niang.
There was definitely no way to get the cart. The wheels were broken and the cart was so heavy. There was no way to take it away, so we had to throw it where it was.
"Aunt, let me get the kettle for you." Xiao Qingyuan was young and was not assigned any work, but he took the initiative to run to Qin Wan and wanted to help.
He really wanted this aunt to like him more, so that she might be able to give him delicious pastries again.
Xiao Qingyuan looks very handsome, like an elegant little scholar. Even though his clothes are tattered, he still looks very pleasant.
"Okay, I'll bother you then." Qin Wan gave his kettle to Xiao Qingyuan, "If you are thirsty, it's okay to drink aunt's water."
"Thank you, Auntie." Xiao Qingyuan's face turned red with joy.
Seeing how Xiao Qingyuan behaved in front of Qin Wan, Xiao You felt a little sour in his heart.
Damn it, why didn't he think of going over to help his aunt carry the kettle? This brat showed off!
Seeing that Xiao Hua and others dared to work for Qin Wan, Huang Mazi was so angry that he was speechless, but he was afraid of Qin Wan's skills and did not dare to do anything openly.
Not long after they were on the road, Mrs. Xu quietly came to Qin Wan.
"Wan'er, I just heard Qingyuan's mother say that our carriage was damaged by the guards." Mrs. Xu was very worried when she thought that the guards were targeting them like this.
It's still a long way to Xizhou. If these guards keep making things difficult for them along the way, how will they live?
Qin Wan looked very calm, "I know."
"You know?" Ms. Xu looked at Qin Wan in surprise. She thought that with Qin Wan's temper, if he knew about it, he would definitely get into trouble with the guards.
After all, Qin Wan had behaved so fiercely before.
Qin Wan comforted Mrs. Xu and said, "Don't worry, I'm here, nothing will happen to you."
During the lunch break, the officers distributed steamed buns to the exiles, but deliberately did not distribute them to Qin Wan's family and uncle Xiao Hua's family.
In my uncle Xiao Hua's family, in addition to Xiao Hao's family of three and Xiao Jun, who came to work for Qin Wan, there was also a large family of two sons.
Almost equal to most of the Xiao family, none of them have been given rations.
Hu Lai said: "Princess Wan, it's not that the younger ones don't give you food, it's the boss that doesn't let me give you food. Anyway, you have so much food, you should have no problem feeding these people, right?"
Qin Wan took a general glance and found that in addition to other people in the Xiao Hua family, there were more than thirty people.
How could she not know what Hu Lai was thinking?
"It's no problem to feed so many people, but I have to go out to buy things. With these things in my hand, I'm afraid they will starve to death in a few days." Qin Wan said.
Hu Lai said quickly: "It doesn't matter, as long as I'm here, you can do whatever you want, as long as you come back on time."
Qin Wan didn't expect this guy to be so easy to talk to. She secretly glanced at Huang Mazi, who was also looking at them.
It seems that when Hu Lai did this, it was most likely Huang Mazi's signal.
She thought for a moment and immediately understood their intention. She turned to Xiao Hua and said: "Uncle, since they don't give rations to your family, please let them all come over. I will distribute rations to everyone. We are one family."
People must be good at working together."
When Xiao Hua heard what Qin Wan said, he immediately happily called the whole family over. Thinking of the good things Qin Wan had, those people crowded over without hesitation.
If you follow Qin Wan, at least you won't have to eat cornstarch anymore.
Qin Wan asked them to stand in a row, recognized each one, and then said: "We are all a family. Although we are in trouble now, we should support each other. Now the guards ask you to follow me. I will be responsible for everyone."
For the rest of the meal, I have only one rule, and that is to listen to me! Anyone who dares to stir up trouble, or secretly engage in small tricks, I will ask him out immediately, do you understand?"
Many of these people are Xiao Lie's elders, and even Xiao Lie would not speak to them like this, but Qin Wan is a princess, and the aura of a superior person makes them subconsciously surrender.
"Understood." Everyone said in unison.
Qin Wan said: "Myolie, share the food you bought before with everyone, one sesame seed cake and one steamed bun for each person, and an extra piece of orange cake for children under ten years old."
Shaobing, steamed buns, orange cakes... everyone who had eaten the steamed buns for several days was drooling.
Xing'er took Xiao Jun, who was carrying a big cloth bag, to take out sesame seed cakes, steamed buns and orange cakes, and distributed them to everyone one by one.
Although the sesame seed cakes and steamed buns are cold and a little wrinkled, they are already rare delicacies compared to the steamed buns.
The other exiles were nibbling on steamed buns and looking at Qin Wan eating sesame seed cakes and steamed buns, their eyes turned red with envy.
If it had been them when Qin Wan was recruiting workers, they would be able to eat these good things now!
On the side, Huang Mazi and the guards looked at Qin Wan with ridicule in their eyes.
In their eyes, Qin Wan is stupid and generous.
Obviously one sesame seed cake per person is enough, but they even gave me an extra steamed bun.
However, this fits their plan.
"When Qin Wan runs out of money, these exiles will be enough for her to drink a pot without us doing anything!" Huang Mazi said with a sinister smile.
Hu Lai came up and said, "Boss, we will arrive at Mingyue Ridge soon. Aren't you very familiar with the bandits at Mingyue Ridge? When the time comes, let them come and rob Qin Wan of the food she bought. By then, she will have spent her money and the food."
It’s gone too, let’s see what she does!”
Although Hu Lai was poisoned, he was not loyal to Qin Wan at all.
He secretly gave Huang Mazi a bad idea, but Qin Wan couldn't hear it, and there was no evidence that he did it.
If you dare to offend him, he will make Qin Wan suffer a lot.
"Hu Lai, in terms of intelligence, no one in our team can match you!" Huang Mazi patted Hu Lai on the shoulder and said with a satisfied smile: "When I get promoted after this trip, I will report to Fu Yin
Your Excellency recommends you to take my place!"
Hu Lai hurriedly said: "Thank you, boss. When the time comes, I will take you to Hongxiang Tower and find Miss Peony to honor you!"
Not far away, Qin Wan sat on a big rock and had a clear view of Huang Mazi and Hu Lai's movements.
