The Li family was from Lijia Village. The Li family was related to the Li family, and by some reckoning, the Li family should call Li Mazi "Second Uncle".

Li was overjoyed to see the family: "Second Uncle, I never expected to run into you again. I'm so glad you're all alright."

Li Mazi nodded: "Niece, we've been walking for two days and we're exhausted. We just saw you have steamed buns, so please share some with us."

Li's smile froze, somewhat embarrassed. "Unfortunately, I didn't buy many buns in total, and they're all gone now."

She had no idea she would run into these people outside the city, so she bought some food for her family and saved the buns she gave to the others from her own mouth.

Li Mazi was immediately displeased upon hearing this: "You give it to everyone else, but not to us? I'm still your second uncle."

Li could only force a smile and say, "Second Uncle, we really don't have any more. When you come to my house another day, I will definitely treat you well."

"What's in your bag? Why are you hiding something from your own family?" It was Li Mazi's eldest son who spoke.

As he was about to grab Li's bundle, Wang Datou pushed him, causing him to stumble.

Li Mazi's eldest son was not to be outdone and returned the favor with a swift counterattack.

Soon, chaos erupted as the two families started fighting.

Li Mazi and his sons beat up Wang Dashan and his two sons, while the women grabbed Li's mother and daughter by the hair, and for a time they fought fiercely.

The children were not to be outdone, and they swarmed forward to beat up Wang Yiyi, who was standing to the side.

Although the children weren't very strong, they were outnumbered. Wang Yi was so angry that he forgot how to hit people and just followed his instincts, pulling hair and biting people.

Although Li Mazi's family was large, they hadn't eaten for several days and soon lost their strength. Wang's family, on the other hand, had eaten and drunk their fill and became increasingly engrossed in the fight.

Wang Yiyi then remembered to take out her weapon, but the weapons in the RV were all swords and daggers, and it wouldn't be appropriate to take them out now, since there were people all over the road. She couldn't very well kill the Li family.

Finally, she took out a rolling pin from the RV and started hitting the Li family members with it.

Before long, the Li family members were all begging for mercy, but Wang Yiyi showed no mercy and almost broke the rolling pin.

Li then clapped her hands, picked up the scattered items from the ground, and put them back into her bundle.

Li was an orphan. Although she grew up in Li Family Village, she had never returned since marrying Wang Dashan. Calling him "Second Uncle" was purely out of politeness.

She's lived to be this old, so naturally she must have a bad temper.

While tidying up, he cursed, "I told you not to, but you still tried to rob me. You old geezer who can't understand human language, what's the difference between you and a robber? You deserve to starve to death."

Then he said to Wang Dashan, "Boss, let's go. From now on, you don't need to pay any attention to the people in Lijia Village."

Li's anger subsided a little after they had walked quite a distance.

"Let's not do this 'good guy' thing anymore. It's not only unappreciated, but it also offends people for no reason."

She got angrier the more she thought about it. She shouldn't have given away those buns; it would have been better if her family had eaten them.

She couldn't help but scold her husband again: "I always said that found money is unlucky, and now you're going to jail and getting into fights. Why did you have to pick up that money?"

Wang Dashan touched his nose and couldn't help but glance at Wang Yiyi.

"Why are you looking at our daughter?" Li followed Wang Dashan's gaze and what she saw shocked her.

My daughter's hair was a mess, her clothes had a missing sleeve and a tear in her pants. I looked at the others, and they were all in similar condition.

She almost fainted from anger: "That Li Mazi is a real scoundrel! He tore my perfectly good clothes, does he have to pay for them?"

Wang Yiyi added slowly, "Their clothes were also torn by us, and there are more of them. If we really have to pay compensation, we should be the ones who suffer losses."

Li choked, opened her mouth, but swallowed back the words of abuse. Her daughter was right.

Her mood suddenly improved, and she smiled, saying, "Let's go home quickly, Mother will make you new clothes."

This laugh made the whole family laugh. Seeing each other's disheveled appearance, they couldn't help but tease each other and chased each other home.

The sun was about to set, casting very long shadows of the family.

Wang Yi smiled, took a step forward, and caught up with the others.

The Wang family lives in Hedong Village, which is 30 miles away from Shi County.

As darkness fell, the group finally made it home.

Pushing open the courtyard gate, Wang Yiyi couldn't help but widen her eyes. This was so different from how the original owner remembered it.

The once tidy courtyard was now littered with broken pieces of pots and pans, and the firewood pushed in the corner was scattered all over the ground.

Needless to say, the house had a huge hole punched in the roof, the door was wide open, and overturned tables and chairs could be vaguely seen.

She closed her eyes; without even thinking, she knew the room was a complete mess.

If it weren't for the original owner's memories, she would definitely think this was a long-abandoned house.

The others were also stunned; it wasn't like this when they left!

Suddenly, Li let out a wail, rushed into the kitchen, came out crying, ran to the chicken coop, and finally rushed into the main room, shouting, "It's all over, it's all over, everything is gone."

The others then came to their senses, picked up the bundle that Li had slipped from her hands, and went inside.

The scene inside was pretty much what Wang Yiyi had expected; things were scattered all over the floor, and it looked like the place had been ransacked.

Wang Dashan helped Li Shi, who was slumped on the ground, to her feet: "It's nothing serious, just tidy it up a bit."

Li cried, "Our food is gone, our chickens are gone, and our money is gone. What are we going to do?"

"Not a single bit left?" Wang Dashan's voice trembled uncontrollably.

The crops in the fields are not yet ripe, and now we have no money and no food. Will our family starve?

Li wailed, "That damned Da Yong stole all the money I hid in the kitchen! How am I supposed to live now?"

Wang Dashan was also starting to stagger; the money in the kitchen was all the family's savings accumulated over the years.

The children also frowned, looking as if the sky had fallen.

Wang Yi sighed inwardly. "Sigh, this is no different from having your food stolen in the apocalypse."

If she were truly from this era, she would probably be in despair, but things are different now. All the food from her RV came with her, and she can have more children.

She wiped away Li's tears: "Mother, have you forgotten that we still have the silver we took from the wolf's mouth?"

She estimated that Li should still have more than four taels of silver. Prices in this world are not expensive. Four taels of silver should be enough for their family to eat the harvest. If necessary, she could secretly supplement their income.

Wang Dashan nodded repeatedly: "Yes, we still have money."

Li also felt hopeful. She took out a cloth bag from her bosom, opened it, and found a few pieces of silver and a few copper coins inside.
