He suddenly had no reason to stop her because he knew that he would probably only be a burden to her.

Was he really getting old?

Shi Zhong smiled bitterly and shook his head. Without saying a word, he made way for Shi Man. Looking at the two young figures walking away together, he realized the meaning of his white hair.

At this moment, the event location was in chaos. The brothers of the Shi family spread out and brought people to investigate the men who were stirring up trouble at that time. Finally, they found some clues.

When Shi Man arrived, the sky was already dark. After venting their anger, the people gradually calmed down. Recalling what they had done just now, many people fell into deep regret.

The biggest problem in front of them now was that they had accidentally injured Madam Shi in the afternoon, causing them to not have dinner tonight.

Shi Ke looked at the surrounding commoners who wanted to say something but hesitated. He felt angry and could not bear to see them like this.

Although this group of people had accidentally hurt their mother, there was no lack of innocent old people and young children. These people were now staring at him eagerly, hoping that he would give them some supplies to fill their stomachs.

Shi Yu couldn’t bear it and said helplessly, “Forget it, Brother. It’s been a day. Let everyone have a good meal first.”

When the people wandering around heard this, the light in their eyes lit up. However, because of what happened in the afternoon, no one dared to take the initiative to go forward.

Shi Ke sighed. Just as he was about to instruct someone to organize everyone to line up in an orderly manner to collect the supplies that had not been distributed in the afternoon, he heard a stern female voice suddenly interrupt them.

“Don’t give it out!”

Shi Man glared fiercely at the refugees who were fighting to gather nearby. Her sharp gaze forced them to stay away instead of moving closer.

Only then did she turn to face her two brothers. “I’ve learned what happened this afternoon. I low’s your investigation going?”

Shi Ke’s face was filled with guilt. He had been busy for the entire day and did not even have time to drink water, causing his voice to be a little hoa.r.s.e. “Sister, we asked the crowd at that time. Many people provided clues about the people who led the trouble, but we haven’t found them yet.”

“1 understand.” Shi Man quietly listened to their characteristics and sneered. She said to the surrounding crowd who were staring at her, “Since you despise these supplies in the afternoon, we can take them back and give them to those who don’t despise them.”

“We don’t despise them. Missy, we really don’t. It was those people who instigated and caused trouble in the afternoon. We didn’t want to hurt Madam Shi!”

The surrounding people hurriedly cried to clear their grievances.

However, Shi Man did not listen. Her expression turned even colder. “We don’t want to donate anymore. If anyone dares to cause trouble, don’t blame us for being rude!”

“W-what do you mean? If you don’t donate, won’t we all starve to death?” Another dissatisfied voice sounded from the crowd, but they did not dare to be too loud in the face of Shi Man’s cold words. One or two evil words appeared sporadically but the speakers were quickly stunned by Shi Man’s cold gaze.

Seeing that they would probably really starve tonight if this continued, they had no choice but to ask the Shi family for help. They could only compromise and say, “Miss Shi, 1 beg you. What will it take for you to give us a bite?”

“If you want to eat, sure.” Shi Man curled her lips slightly, a sly smile flashing across her eyes.

When everyone heard that she was about to relent, they hurriedly struck while the iron was hot to please her. “Tell us, you can raise any conditions. We’ll try our best to do everything for you.”

Shi Man glanced coldly at the person who spoke.

The person beside him hurriedly scolded him unhappily and immediately corrected him. “I will definitely do it for you!”

“Alright.” Only then did Shi Man smile in satisfaction and put on a pleasant expression. “There’s no such thing as a free dinner in the world. Since you want to eat, use your own labor to exchange for it.”

Hearing her say this, some smart people immediately reacted and said with a frown, “Missy, don’t tell me you want us to catch those people who led the trouble? Where are we going to find them? Besides, even if we find them, we haven’t eaten for a day and night. We might not even have the strength to arrest them.”

“Yeah, yeah.”

The surrounding people echoed and looked at Shi Man with even more eagerness.

Shi Man gave them a relaxed smile and said briskly, “There’s no need. Your mission tonight is to protect the old, weak, women, and children around you. I’ll come and inspect you tomorrow. If anything goes wrong, I’ll reduce the supplies accordingly. After all, resources are scarce now. I can donate to useful people to help rebuild the city.”

“We’ll definitely do our best. Don’t give your things to anyone else!” The smartest man took the lead and agreed.

Now, as long as someone was willing to give them a bite to eat, they would be willing to do anything..
