Morning came, and everyone woke up one after another.
Not long after, the head guard stood up and told everyone to come and collect their food for the day. His men brought out the dry buns and began handing them out.
Fu Tong and Fu Teng went together, with Fu Sheng beside them. They collected their buns quietly and returned.
On the other side, Grandma Fu and Uncle Fu stayed seated. They did not move at all. Instead, they told Bai Ming to go and get the food for them.
Aunt Fu also stayed where she was, sitting with her daughter Fu Jia and her son Fu Fong. None of them stood up.
Bai Ming paused for a moment, then stood up with her two children and walked forward to collect the buns.
The head guard noticed something was wrong.
