The villagers' thoughts were not off; the Qin Family indeed still had a lot of grain, and unlike the previous life where most of it was stolen by people from outside the village, this time the Qin Family truly still had plenty.
Even though they weren't lacking food, when everyone else was in scarcity, the Qin Family didn't dare to show they weren't hungry. Just like the others in the village, they pretended to go out daily to gather some bark and roots. Of course, they wouldn't eat them after bringing them back.
Every time Qin the Third went out to find bark and roots, he would wander far, find a spot to lazily take a nap, and after waking up, he'd grab some inedible dry grass, cover it with a cloth, and no one would know what he actually brought back.
