After hearing her husband's explanation, Lu Jueyu finally understood the problem.
There were several factions in the government, and whoever controlled the food supply would gain the upper hand. No wonder they were even contacting black market middlemen.
Just after they finished their discussion, Dong Li returned with the empty bamboo baskets, and they had lunch together. After lunch, Li Chenmo and Dong Li closed their eyes and took a nap.
Lu Jueyu didn't return home after lunch. Instead, she took out a bowl of ice from her space by using the bamboo basket as cover. She placed the bowl near her husband and son and used a palm leaf fan to fan them slowly.
With the ice, the temperature around them was cooler, allowing father and son to enjoy a good nap.
Before the lunch break ended, she stored the remaining ice back in her space and gently pushed her husband's arm. "Husband, wake up. It's almost time."
