an just her understands the situation, but no one reminded Shen Qian and them.>>>>Seeing Song Jiuli washing the mushrooms, Shen Qian believed that these mushrooms were truly edible. She then pulled Au...Jiang Wan immediately repeated what she had heard tonight, and then said to Ren Bang:

Anyway, be more careful.

She was just reminding them, as for how they should deal with it, Jiang Wan didn't want to bother, anyway, she would just protect her own family.

"Okay, thank you big sister."

Ren Bang nodded, but Jiang Wan didn't know if he believed her or not. Either way, she had said what she needed to say and returned to her dilapidated house.

After the whole family finished washing up, Song Jiu Li brought her warm water. "Big sister-in-law, I boiled some water for you to wash up."

Thank you!

Ginger nodded, packed her water and went back to the house to wash up. Tonight, she would be sleeping with the mistress and Song Jiuli.

And Song Jiuchi and Song Jiubian were in another room. Song Jiuchi carefully applied medicine to Song Jiubian's wounds.

Song Jiuli had some trouble sleeping, "Mother, what do you think they're trying to do"

"With so many of us, we can always find a way to solve anything."

Song Dajiao sighed. In fact, she was also nervous inside, but she didn't dare to show it, afraid that the children would be scared too.

Instead, ginger told her in a hushed voice, “No matter what you do, don't eat the food the villagers give us tomorrow morning.”

"I understand."

Song Jiuli softly responded and, perhaps because she was too tired from the journey, fell asleep soundly.

Jiang Wan glanced at the two people sleeping soundly, quietly slipped into the space and ate some food before falling asleep.

I was awakened early by the hustle and bustle outside. Song Daniu carried Song Jiuli in packing things up. Seeing her awake, she said softly:

"Would you like to take a little nap, WanWan"

"No, I should be leaving soon."

Ginger washed up quickly and efficiently, and several people took their luggage out of the house only to find everyone gathered in the threshing yard again.

Some villagers were busily cooking breakfast, while Shen Qian stood beside Xu Wei with a dejected look on her face. When she saw Ginger Wān, she even gave her a smug smile.

Ginger rolls her eyes.

Maybe some people just don't have brains.

"Well, you're finally here."

Song Erniang had been waiting for them for a long time, just to ridicule them.

"Xu Li Zheng's family said they want to thank us for Qian Qian, so they are treating everyone to breakfast."

"What are you so proud of"

Ginger rolled her eyes and glanced at Song Chen, whose face was ashen. "Do you think your brother can stomach this breakfast"

His rival, having ordered breakfast, gave Song Chen a headache of disgust. But for the sake of survival, he would eat it.

"It's none of your business!"

Song Chen had a cold face and seemed fine. Jiang Wan remembered yesterday's missing Duan's concubine and thought, to like such a man was truly blind.

Right now, only they mother and son have the mood to pick a fight. Old Madam and Third Miss are both heartbroken over Song Lao San's injuries. They look like wilted eggplants, their spirits crushed.

"We can't eat this breakfast."

Song Jiubian gazed deeply at the person cooking breakfast in the distance, lowering his voice to speak to Jiang Wan and the others.

"Don't worry, brother. Sister-in-law already told me last night that we won't be eating."

Song Jiuli was surprisingly well-behaved. Song Jiubian couldn't help but glance at Jiang Wan in surprise. She seemed... much smarter.

They looked at each other in silence, then quickly averted their eyes. Jiang Wan and Ren Bang, not far away, met each other's gaze. With a slight nod from the other side, Jiang Wan knew what was going on.

Over there, Shen Qian saw Jiang Wan's expression was unchanged. She felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, so she walked over.

She looked somewhat disheveled, after all, the hardships of these days were not in vain, but standing before Jiang Wan, she was still arrogant.

"Wouldn't you owe me a thank you for getting to have a good breakfast, Ginger"

She spoke loudly, intending for everyone to hear her words and remember her kindness.

She also shot Ren Bang a glance. Ginger snorted, if Shen Qian knew Xu Wei wanted to keep her as his wife, she wouldn't know what to think.

“I hope you can still say this after you finish eating.”

Ginger smiled meaningfully, her lips curling into a knowing smirk. She didn't argue with Shen Qianqi; she just waited to see the show unfold.

It felt like punching a cotton ball. Shen Qian was annoyed and stomped her foot, then walked a few steps to stand in front of Xu Wei.

"Brother Xu, Ginger and Wan always bully me…"

"Don't be sad."

Xu Wei glanced at Jiang Wan not far away. His heart moved slightly. The young lady was quite beautiful, but she didn't seem like someone easy to get along with.

In comparison, Xu Wei preferred someone like Shen Qian who was obedient, gentle, and well-behaved. So he said softly:

“This breakfast was because you invited me. Do as you please.”

"Really"

Shen Qian's eyes sparkled, and such a gaze stirred something in Xu Wei's heart. The two of them looked oblivious to the world around them, a sight that caught Song Chen's eye.

Jiang Wan clearly saw that Song Chen's anger was about to burst. Although Duan shi also did this kind of thing, she did it secretly.

This brazen display of hers was putting Song Chen to shame, especially since Shen Qian was his legal wife.

In the end, after Shen Qian acted cute, she ended up being the one to distribute breakfast. She did this to make things difficult for Jiang Wan and them.

Ginger snorted coldly, just as well, she wasn't in the mood to drink this porridge anyway.

When they lined up for breakfast, as expected, there was only one steamed bun and a small bowl of rice congee per person. Shen Qian didn't give ginger-stuffed buns, and the congee was only half a bowl, mostly water.

"I don't think you're very hungry, this should be enough"

Ginger didn't respond. Instead, she raised her foot and walked away with the bowl in hand. If it weren't for the sake of letting Xu and the others lower their guard, she wouldn't have come over to queue up at all.

Song Jiuli and Song Jichí also took turns. Song Jiuli deliberately pouted and said a few words angrily.

Worse still, because Song Jiuyuan was not well and couldn't queue up himself, Shen Qian even demanded that Song Jiuyuan go in person and refused to give Song Jichí a chance.

Song Jiuchil huffed and threw the bowl to the ground, "If I don't want to eat, I don't eat. Even if I miss this meal, I won't starve to death."

Then you just wait to starve to death!

Shen Qian walked with her chin held high, and Song Jiu Ci simply turned around and left. Xu Wei panicked.

"Wait a minute, little brother, Qianqian is just teasing you, don't go hungry."

If he really won't eat, they'll turn on them and ruin their good deeds. Grandfather and father will have to kill him.

"Big Brother Xu."

Shen Qian's pout was a real threat; she truly did intend to keep Song Jiuci and the others from having breakfast. After all, she had once endured hunger in the same way.

"Qianqian, please don't make a fuss. My grandfather is kind-hearted. He would be angry if he knew."

Xu Wei lowered his voice and whispered in Shen Qian's ear. The two were extremely close, their movements ambiguous.

Just standing behind Song Jichu, Song Chen clenched his fists and glared viciously at Shen Qian. Only then did Shen Qian helplessly relent, "Alright, we'll all listen to Brother Xu."

She angrily made two bowls of porridge for Song Jiuchil, still not giving him any steamed buns. Xu Wei didn't care, anyway the point was he had to drink the porridge.

Song Jiuchi returned with two bowls of thin porridge. Ginger and Song Jiuli had already quietly dealt with the porridge and were now eating sweet potatoes.

"Give it to me."

Song Jiuyuan took over Song Jiuchi's bowl of porridge and used sleight of hand to pretend he drank it all.l shaken.Every few steps, he walked cautiously. Although the village wasn't far away, Ren Bang planned to take everyone there to rest and resupply. Jiang Wan, with her sharp eyes, noticed that Xu Wei...
