Exile at the start? Milkball filming, hoarding billions of resources

At night, Shen Zhaoning insisted on going to the outhouse, and the newly arrived constable impatiently let her pass.

Hua Zhuyue led Shen Zhaoning to the backyard of the inn.

Hua Zhuyue gave her instructions.

"With so many people around these days, avoid buying anything with a strong smell. Just buy things like flatbread or steamed buns."

Shen Zhaoning nodded and left cautiously.

The world before her eyes suddenly changed. Looking at the bustling city filled with neon lights, Shen Zhaoning felt somewhat dazed.

A boy who looked a little older than her was crying and shouting by the roadside.

"I don't want to eat it. This cookie is too hard and tastes awful. I want to eat cake."

His mother said impatiently.

"I painstakingly baked these. Take it or leave it, there's no shortage of cakes and pancakes."

The boy threw a tantrum and threw the pancake on the ground.

"I'm not eating such awful food!"

The boy's mother was so angry that she reached out and hit him.

"You complain that this pancake tastes bad, but how many people in this world go hungry? How can you waste food!"

The boy's grandmother grabbed her unhappily.

"Oh, it's just a pancake! Is it really worth hitting your child over a pancake?"

The boy screamed and yelled.

"I want cake, I want cake! I don't want cookies, Mom's cookies are awful!"

The boy's grandmother said as she wiped away his tears.

"Your mother's cooking skills are so poor. She feeds her food to dogs, but even they won't eat it. She keeps talking about how healthy and safe it is, but what's the use of being healthy and safe when it doesn't taste good?"

"Come on, Grandma will go buy you a cake."

The boy's grandmother took his hand and walked away happily.

Only the boy's mother remained, standing there wiping away tears.

Cheng Qian watched her son happily follow his grandmother away, and couldn't help but shed tears.

She was originally a screenwriter, living a free and easy life.

But her life has been disrupted ever since she gave birth to her son.

My son is in poor health and is always sick, and my mother-in-law is careless in taking care of him.

For her son's sake, she had to give up her job and spend a lot of time taking care of him.

As her son grew stronger day by day, she became increasingly lost.

Her son complained that her cooking was bad, her mother-in-law complained that she wasn't quick and efficient, and her husband complained that she was always unkempt and didn't know how to dress up.

His career plummeted, and he also failed to maintain his family.

She got up early in the morning to make pancakes, but her son threw them away as garbage.

She suddenly felt like such a failure, such a failure.

Just then, a soft, sweet voice rang in my ears.

Shen Zhaoning picked up the cake from the ground, blew off the dust, and handed it to her, saying in a childish voice.

"Auntie, here's your pancake."

She looked at the little girl who was a head shorter than her son and wiped away her tears.

"Thank you, but the biscuit is soggy and can't be eaten. Could you please throw it away for me?"

Shen Zhaoning's eyes lit up when she heard her words.

This flatbread is much softer than the coarse flatbread they usually eat, and it's made with pure white flour, sprinkled with sesame seeds. It smells really good.

It looks delicious.

"Can I give it to Tuantuan instead of taking it?"

"Tuan Tuan wants to eat."

Cheng Qian frowned in surprise.

"You want to eat this?"

Shen Zhaoning looked at her expectantly.

"May I?"

Cheng Qian glanced at Shen Zhaoning's clothes and felt a pang of sadness when she saw the worn and dirty garments on Shen Zhaoning's body.

"This pancake is dirty and you can't eat it. Wait here, I'll get you some new ones."

She returned to the kitchen and looked at the mess and the bowl of bread.

Thinking of her son's disgusted look, she simply grabbed a plastic bag and packed all the biscuits and some snacks that her son didn't like into it.

She brought the food to Shen Zhaoning.

"Take all of these."

Shen Zhaoning hugged the bag with delight and bowed deeply to her.

"Thank you, fairy sister."

Cheng Qian was both amused and exasperated.

"A fairy? A sister?"

She looks disheveled and dirty now; she doesn't resemble a fairy at all.

Cheng Qian's hair, illuminated by the streetlight, was tinged with a thin layer of light gold.

A look of surprise appeared on his tired face at this moment.

Shen Zhaoning looked at him and explained earnestly.

"Can't you see it? You are glowing."

"In my eyes, you are a fairy."

She held the bag in her arms and bowed deeply to Cheng Qian.

"Thank you, I will definitely repay you in the future."

Cheng Qian touched her face.

Fairy?

Her?

Aside from the sales staff at the beauty salon near her home who often called her that, this was the first time she had ever heard someone else address her as such.

Holding the food, Shen Zhaoning quickly ran into a secluded alley.

As she was leaving, she turned back and looked at the world with longing.

This world is wonderful.

Everyone here has food; there's no need to fight over it.

If only... everyone could live here.

Clutching the food, she reluctantly returned to her own world.

Hua Zhuyue pulled her aside and hid in a corner of the courtyard.

"You eat first, Grandma will watch over it for you."

In the pitch-black night, the only sounds besides the chirping of cicadas were the sounds of Shen Zhaoning chewing.

Shen Zhaoning ate her food in big mouthfuls.

This pancake isn't hard at all; it's much softer than a rough pancake, and it's full of the aroma of wheat and sesame seeds. It's delicious!

It would be even better if there was a bowl of hot soup to drink.

Shen Zhaoning carefully ate her food while puffing out her cheeks, and then took out a pancake and stuffed it into her grandmother's hand.

"Grandma, you should eat too."

Hua Zhuyue didn't refuse. She took the cake and ate it quickly while carefully looking around.

After Shen Zhaoning finished eating, Hua Zhuyue whispered some instructions to her.

"When you get back, tell everyone I was bitten by a snake and ask them to come over."

"Don't give anything away. Whether everyone can get something to eat depends on you."

Shen Zhaoning pursed her lips, her face tense.

"Grandmother, don't worry, I will definitely bring everyone over."

She rubbed her eyes until they were red and swollen, then burst into tears and went back to the woodshed.

"Oh no, oh no! Grandma has been bitten by a snake, and now she can't move at all."

"Aunt, Second Aunt, Fourth Aunt, please go and take a look."

Upon hearing this, Qin Su was about to rush out. The constable tried to stop her, but Qin Su knocked him to the ground.

Zhu Jingxian quickly helped the constable up and said gently.

"Please forgive me, sir. My second sister-in-law is impulsive and did not mean to offend you."

"Sir, you've heard that my mother-in-law was bitten by a snake. Could you please make an exception and help me get a doctor? I will be very grateful afterward."

The bailiff looked Zhu Jingxian up and down. Seeing that Zhu Jingxian had a tree branch stuck in her hair, was wearing hemp clothes, and was wearing straw sandals, he couldn't help but laugh.

"Come on, you've already been exiled, what kind of reward can you possibly offer!"

Zhu Jingxian began to pray.

"Sir, although I have been exiled, my relatives are still officials in the capital. If you trust me, please leave your name. My family will be very grateful when they find me."

Upon hearing this, the constable's expression softened considerably.

He had heard that these men were all from noble families. As the saying goes, even a starved camel is bigger than a horse. Although they had been exiled, they might still have connections in the capital.

Why don't we... lend a hand?

If it succeeds, you'll gain a favor; if it fails, you'll just lose some money.

Just as he was about to agree, he heard Sun Xiao curse.

"Since you've already been exiled, don't put on airs!"

"If you can endure it, you live; if you can't, you die!"

Zhu Jingxian gripped the hem of her clothes, glaring angrily at Sun Xiao.

"You...you've gone too far!"
