Chapter 431 Getting Better

　　When the whole family was exiled, she forced herself to become the pillar of the family; on the road to exile, Qian Jie'er gradually became the backbone of the family. She was happy but also deeply worried; when they arrived in northern Hubei, everything was different from what they had expected, but they still survived.

　　To this day, although they are still fugitives, the life they lead is completely different from that of Wu Laoliu and others in the opposite yard.

　　Apart from some things that had to be bought, the entire Huanxiyuan was self-sufficient in food and daily necessities, and could also earn money quietly, making life less difficult for everyone.

　　"Everyone has worked hard this year. I don't want to say anything else. I hope that our family will live better and better in the coming year!" Mrs. Wu picked up the rice wine glass and said to everyone.

　　Shen Qingqian and the others all stood up and raised the cups in front of them.

　　“It gets better and better!”

　　Everyone was excited or emotional, and had different ideas, but they all hoped that they could live a better life in the new year.

　　Shen Qingning was young, and said playfully, "Aunt, we have a sixth sister, and our lives will definitely get better and better. Anyway, I have made up my mind to follow her forever, so don't fight with me."

　　"Fifth sister, it's not right for you to do this. Who among us sisters doesn't want to follow Sixth sister? You should at least leave some room for us." Shen Qingman joked.

　　Shen Qingxiao covered his mouth, his eyes full of hope for the future, "That's right, Fifth Sister, you can only hang on to Sixth Sister's arm at most, and the remaining arm, two legs, and neck will be left to us."

　　Shen Qingyu, who was drinking rice wine, choked when she heard this. She almost spit out a mouthful of rice wine, and laughed so hard that tears came out. She echoed, "Ahem, Third Sister, I'll give you Sixth Sister's neck. I'll just hold her legs."

　　Shen Qingqian was so embarrassed by her sisters' words that she didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She pretended to be distressed and raised her arms to look at them. Then she said to the sisters around her with regret, "Sisters, I'm so sorry. My arms and legs are so thin that I really can't let you hug me!"

　　"Hahahaha" Wu and others couldn't hold back any longer and burst into laughter.

　　The meal lasted for more than an hour in such an atmosphere and ended with Shen Yong's funny behavior.

　　After the Jiayu tribe sent people to negotiate, Shen Jun and his companions were released and sent back home. Only Shen Yong, who had volunteered to join the army, had become a member of the Hubei Northern Army. However, due to his status as an exile, he could only be a low-level soldier, and it would be difficult for him to be promoted unless he made great contributions.

The women quickly cleaned up the main room, while the men placed the tables and chairs in the corners, leaving the middle for the children to play.

　　After finishing the chores, the whole family gathered in the main room, chatting and laughing while eating chestnuts collected earlier in the mountains and melon seeds and peanuts bought a few days ago.

　　"Sister Man, go get some more chestnuts. I see that everyone likes to eat them. Let's roast some more and give some to your grandmother Chen and the others to try later." Mrs. Wu said to Shen Qingman.

　　Shen Qingman stood up after hearing this, "Okay, mom, I'll go right away."

　　Their family now uses only coal, which makes it convenient to roast anything and there is no need to save it. After all, the Hubei Northern Army had promised that the Shen family could use unlimited coal.
