Old Madam Zhang coughed twice. Looking at her daughter and son-in-law, she whispered, "Don't go trying to snatch anything; they aren't fools.

If they don't hand them over, just take them by force. With your grandmother here, don't be afraid of them."
Madam Zhang hurriedly added a few more instructions. They had noticed at noon that the Si family was definitely eating well. They had smelled the aroma but hadn't dared to grab anything because several guards were surrounding the Si family at the time.
While everyone was lining up to collect their steamed corn buns, Si Jiuyue greeted Zhang Bangchui, saying she wanted to go dig for some wild herbs. Zhang Bangchui didn't think much of it and agreed.
