He Invited Me Over to Sponge a Meal!

Don't scare her like that so early in the morning.

Zhou Wanwan got up and said, "You scared me so early in the morning! Aren't you guys sleeping?"

Zhao Muyuan said:

"Your Majesty, I have an important matter to report. Our farms are growing larger and larger, and we simply don't have enough manpower."

The trees in the yard also have their own things to do, and many of them lack energy and are simply unable to work.

Your humble servant suggests increasing the number of personnel.

"Yes, now that Great Qi has bought so much land, there's simply not enough manpower!"

Zhou Wanwan thought for a moment and said, "There's no need to increase manpower. Don't worry about the fields in Great Qi; I'll take care of them."

Everyone immediately fell silent.

Zhao Muyuan continued, "The first level of the War God Hall is about to open. Do you think we need to prepare anything?"

Zhou Wanwan thought for a moment and said:

"The first level of the War God Hall has opened in just half a month?"

No need to prepare anything, just open more shops and stock up on supplies, and more and more people will come.

It can be said that the War God Hall has a total of 49 floors, and each floor is more difficult to open than the last.

The further you go, the more generous the rewards become.

These people will stay here for a very long time.

The first level of the War God Hall took more than a month to complete, and they have already made an untold fortune.

It's perfectly normal to give these people some rewards.

These awards are all from pirated publications; anything published by Black Wind Stronghold is guaranteed to be of high quality.

Zhou Wanwan waved her hand and said, "Is there anything else?"

Old General Xie said:

"Your Majesty, I have something to say. The Emperor of Great Xia has issued an edict ordering us to attack Great Qi."

They say now is the perfect opportunity, to seize the chance when the Great Qi is caught off guard and take it all in one fell swoop.

Zhou Wanwan's lips twitched. "Attack Great Qi? Has he lost his mind? You want him to lead the attack?"

Old General Xie quickly replied, "Your Majesty, I have already replied, saying that our border region is extremely poor and the people are suffering terribly, and I urge them to quickly provide supplies and provisions."

Zhou Wanwan sighed and said:

"He can spout off whatever he wants in court, but doesn't he know the situation on our border?"

If we weren't here, Yanmen Pass would have fallen long ago, and the people on the border would have vanished without a trace.

Perhaps the Great Xia has already been annexed by the Great Qi.

"Has he had too many good days and lost all sense of direction?"

Even Zhou Wanwan wouldn't dare to attack rashly.

Old General Xie wiped the sweat from his brow and said, "Your Majesty is absolutely right; that's what I think too."

Zhou Wanwan waved her hand and said:

"Don't rush into the palace now. Qin Yuan's military seal is in my hands now."

I plan to have his soldiers help me grow crops first.

We're really short of treants lately!

Although there are tens of thousands of Tree People, the land of the Great Xia Kingdom needs to be cultivated, and some Tree People also need to produce seafood and salt.

Many more Tree People have been sent out to build houses; we've received far too many orders right now.

We're too busy, we simply can't keep up.

Many of the tree people had to be dispersed to protect various towns, so they were quite scattered.

In addition, Zhou Wanwan's spiritual power is indeed limited, and she can only recharge a few hundred tree people at most each day.

Therefore, there are increasingly fewer tree people available now.

Zhou Wanwan sighed. There were more and more tree people, but it still wasn't enough.

The key issue is that some of the tree-planting people still need to undertake large-scale projects.

In places like the Great Qi, many areas lack water sources; wouldn't they have to simply dig out canals?

Since we can't rely entirely on the tree people, using the Great Qi army would be quite useful.

After finishing the morning court session, Zhou Wanwan returned to the Zhao Family.

They happened to run into the Zhao Family having breakfast; Qin Zimo and his group hadn't left yet.

Last night, the three siblings kept trying to persuade Jiang Yunyao.

Unfortunately, Jiang Yunyao remained unmoved. Qin Ziyu came over early in the morning and looked at Jiang Yunyao, saying:

"Mother, if you don't settle this debt..."

Then my marriage will be called off, and my life will be over. Can you bear to do that?"

Jiang Yunyao looked at Qin Ziyu and said:

This matter was caused by your father and your current mother; it has nothing to do with me.

If you have any problems, just ask them to help.

Qin Ziyu shouted, "It was clearly you! If you hadn't insisted on lending them money for their wedding, things wouldn't have turned out this way!"

Jiang Yunyao looked coldly at Qin Ziyu and said, "They want me to host a banquet, but I don't have any money, so I have to borrow it. Isn't that normal?"

Qin Ziyu shouted, "You can't have spent so many silver notes! What are you going to use to pay for this now?"

Jiang Yunyao looked at Qin Ziyu and said:

"This is not something I need to consider; it is something your father needs to consider."

They wanted to live a glorious life, but now that things have gone wrong, they regret it.

Why should they get all the benefits while I have to bear all the bad?

Enraged, Qin Ziyu shouted, "Jiang Yunyao, you vicious woman! You're selfish, you're cold-blooded, you don't care about our lives!"

Jiang Yunyao suddenly laughed, "I'm selfish? I'm cold-blooded? I'm a poisonous woman? Did you even consider whether I live or die?"

Qin Ziyu's face paled. Qin Zixuan walked in and said, "Fine, since that's how it is, then let's sever our mother-son relationship. Don't come looking for us when you're old."

Qin Zimo said, "Yes, in front of so many people, let's write a document severing our mother-son relationship, and sign it."

They were just saying things out of anger. Jiang Yunyao nodded and said, "Okay, fine."

The document was quickly written and signed by both parties.

After the signatures and seals were affixed, Qin Zimo said, "From now on, when we're outside, let alone saying we're from the Qin family, we can't afford to lose face like this."

Qin Zixuan nodded in agreement, saying, "From now on, Aunt Zheng will be our mother. You are nothing to her. Remember that?"

Qin Ziyu wiped away her tears and said, "I'll remember you. Even if you become a beggar and come to our house begging for food, I won't give you a single bite to eat."

Jiang Yunyao nodded and said, "I'll remember that. I'll say the same thing to you: don't come looking for me even if you're begging for food in the future."

Qin Ziyu snorted coldly and said:

"You're the one begging! Your Jiang Family has to beg for food."

I've heard that the Jiang Family has lost everything, and the Jiang Clan has driven you all out.

A family that had fallen on hard times.

This is why they want to sever ties with Jiang Yunyao.

Because the Jiang Family is no longer of any help to them; on the contrary, they have become a burden.

They want to take this opportunity to completely sever ties with the Jiang Family.

After they left, Jiang Yunyao sneered, "Severing ties is a good thing; it'll save us trouble later."

Zhou Wanwan nodded and said, "That's right, you've ruined these three children."

Jiang Yunyao sighed and said:

"Yes! I also want to take good care of myself, but there are too many things to do at home."

The responsibility of raising these three children rests entirely with my mother-in-law.

I rarely see them, and gradually their thinking becomes extreme.

Zhou Wanwan said, "That's right."

Zhao Mingzhu and Zhao Yuzhu walked over. Zhao Mingzhu said, "Zhou Wanwan, you're really shameless. You came to my house again to freeload. How can you be so thick-skinned?"

Zhou Wanwan looked at Zhao Mingzhu and said, "Zhao Kun invited us here, do you have a problem with that?"

Zhao Mingzhu frowned and asked, "Fifth Uncle, why did you come here?"

Zhou Wanwan grinned and said, "You invited me over to freeload!"

Zhao Mingzhu shouted, "Have you no shame? Coming to someone's house to freeload, aren't you ashamed?"

Zhao Kun glared at Zhao Mingzhu and said, "Zhou Wanwan is my guest. How dare you speak to me like that?"

Zhao Mingzhu stamped her foot and said, "Fifth Uncle, Zhou Wanwan is a little liar, don't fall for her tricks."

Zhao Kun roared, "This is my territory, it's none of your business to speak here, get out of here right now!"

Zhao Mingzhu turned and stormed off.

Zhao Kun looked at Zhou Wanwan with a smile and said, "You must be hungry, right? What would you like to eat? I'll have the servants prepare it right now."
