Chapter 38: Don't blame us for not helping you when you

As long as they put in the effort, they can catch up, so they're not in a hurry.Today, Song Jiuli didn't have much energy. Probably because she was hit, or maybe she was in a bad mood, the blisters on..."My lord, this is a hunter from the village. His way back home is blocked, so he came to the abandoned temple to take shelter."

Shen Qian brought the man into the dilapidated temple. The man carried two wild chickens and a wild rabbit in his hands, his gaze falling on Ren Bang.

"My lord, I'm from the neighboring village. I went hunting in the mountains yesterday, but an unexpected heavy storm struck last night."

What's your name

Ren Bang narrowed his eyes, scrutinizing the man before him. The man smiled.

"Little Xu, these are offerings to show respect to the official."

He gave Ren Bang both the wild chicken and hare he had in his hands. Shen Qian, who was standing beside him, felt a pang of sympathy seeing this.

She silently prayed that Ren Bong wouldn't take it, but she knew it was a vain hope, because the officials had little food left.

As expected, Ren Bang took the wild animal from Xiao Deng and handed it to one side, then Xu Wei said: “You can rest here, but don’t cause trouble.”

"Okay, okay."

As if in answer to her happy expression, the elders of the Lao Song family gave Shen Qian a knowing look. The corners of Shen Qian's mouth curled into a smile.

"Brother Xu, these are my family members. You can rest with us for a while."

Ginger glared coldly as Shen Qian brought Xu Wei to Lao Song's territory. Song Jiuli couldn't help but whisper her disapproval.

"Why do I feel like Shen Qian is because of that chicken"

"Be confident, take out the 'feeling' part."

Jiang Wan was combing her hair, the sweet potatoes in her hands had already been washed clean by Song Jiuchi and Song Jiri. She instructed Song's wife to put them in a pot and steam them.

As they spoke, people who had gone out to look for food gradually returned. It wasn't that no one had thought about running away.

They have no other way out, they really can't run away. They can only come back honestly.

They scrounged up some food here and there. Desperate times call for desperate measures, they even nibbled on some wild grass. It was better than starving to death.

Song Sanniang was like this. She grabbed a handful of wild grass and returned in disarray, only to be scolded by Old Madam Song.

"Look at you, bringing back some weeds! How are we supposed to eat this We're a whole family here, are we going to starve to death"

People talked to each other, each one saying their piece while keeping an eye on Xu Wei who was standing to the side. Xu Wei tried to pretend he didn't see them.

So, he offered the wild chicken in his hand to Shen Qian. "Why don't we share it together"

"Brother Xu, you are such a kind person."

Shen Qianjiao's words made Jiang Wan almost break out in goosebumps. They were really too mushy.

"Ugh..."

Song Jiu Li made a motion like she was about to vomit, rolling her eyes with sarcasm. "For the sake of Shen Qian's stutter, she can really do anything."

It is not surprising.

Ginger thought to herself, if she knew what Aunt Duan had done, she would probably be disgusted too.

Mind your own business.

Song Jiu's indifferent glance swept over the people of the Lao Song family, as if looking at several insignificant individuals. He clearly treated them as strangers.

Listen to your big brother.

Song's daughter smiled, while the old Song family on that side happily killed chickens and prepared ginger. Over here, however, things were quiet as everyone was busy working diligently.

While everyone's attention was focused on the officials and the wild animals at Lao Song's house, Jiang Wan quietly tossed a few quail eggs into the pot.

Gradually, the temple began to smell of incense, and ordinary people had brought some food.

"Wow, it smells so good!"

Shen Qian shouted in an exaggerated voice, not forgetting to glance at Jiang Wan, as if showing off.

As a result, no one paid attention to her. She thought Jiang Wan would be envious, but this only made her feel particularly heartbroken.

It's like punching a cotton ball, soft and annoyingly irritating.

Okay.

After ginger's hair was dried, the steamed dinner was also ready. Song’s madam lifted the lid of the pot and first quietly hid some quail eggs for everyone.

This is when he picked up a fragrant yam root and sniffed it, "It smells so good."

"Sister-in-law, the fragrance is fragrant, but it's still a question whether it can be eaten."

Song Erniang, pleased and smelling the aroma of chicken in the air, scoffed: "The mushrooms before were just as fragrant, yet they were poisonous."

I advise you not to eat things you are unfamiliar with, lest you cry out to heaven and earth but find no answer.

"Don't worry about me."

Song Dajie's voice was cold, and she didn't even glance at her. This angered Song Erjie to no end.

"You're going to be powerful now, aren't you When the poison takes hold later, don't come crying to us for help."

"Mother, it's ready to eat."

Ginger tasted a mouthful. Hmm, the wild yam tasted good. It was better than the imitation stuff she bought in her past life.

Song Jiubian also opened his mouth and took a bite. The taste was soft and glutinous, indeed delicious. In fact, he had eaten this thing before.

He had only ever eaten mountain yam dishes cooked by the chef, so he didn't know what a real mountain yam looked like.

But at this moment, he could eat with peace of mind. He spared no words and gave a perfunctory compliment.

Not bad.

"I think it tastes similar to sweet potato."

Song Jiuli happily puffed out her cheeks, and secretly stuffed a quail egg into her mouth. When she smiled, the corners of her eyes curved up.

Such a harmonious scene made Shen Qian and the others particularly dislike it, but fortunately, the chicken they had been simmering was finally done.

This chicken belongs to Xu Wei. Shen Qianrou softly opened her mouth: "Brother Xu, here's the spoon for you."

It was you who helped me, this chicken is given to you to dispose of as you see fit.

Xu Wei smiled warmly at Shen Qian, a smile that was particularly dazzling, making Song Chen's heart ache with a sourness.

He glanced again at Duan, his concubine, who had been spending time with other men these past two days. Song Chen felt a surge of disgust.

"Grandpa."

Aunt Duan tenderly wiped the wounds on his body, making Song Chen's heart ache. He didn't want this either, actually.

When Shen Qian received Xu Wen's instructions, she happily cooked a large bowl of chicken for him before serving the rest to others.

She is petty and leaves herself more meat. As for Aunt Duan, it's almost all soup, but Aunt Duan doesn't seem to mind.

After finishing her meal, Shen Qian smiled contentedly as she held her bowl and glanced smugly at Jiang Wan and the others. The next second, the smile on her face froze.

Because Xiao Deng had finished half a chicken and gave it to Jiang Wan, "Sister Jiang, sweet potatoes are delicious. It's only polite to reciprocate."

When he smiled, his white teeth were on full display, making him even more likeable. Jiang Wan raised her eyes to glance at Ren Bang not far away.

He gave her a friendly smile, it seemed like the two of them were deliberately helping her out, who let Shen Qian be so arrogant

Jiang Wan smiled as she took the chicken from Xiaoduan, sincerely thanking them: "Thank you!"

"You're welcome."

Little Deng scratched his head and waited for Ginger to divide the chicken meat before carrying his empty bowl back.

And Shen Qian, seeing that Jiang Wan and the others also had chicken, suddenly felt that the chicken in her bowl was tasteless and bland.

"Delicious."

Song Jiuli spoke loudly and without a care, almost causing Shen Qian to choke. Damn it!

"After eating, go wash the dishes."

Ginger didn't much care about the Song family's opinions. She was more concerned that this rain might just keep pouring.

Even if she had no power left, she couldn't escape. That was truly a difficult situation.

"Alright."

Song Jiuli happily agreed, the young lady has now learned to take care of herself.is pulse. Her tightly furrowed brows quickly relaxed."It's nothing, just a fit of anger."He was probably furious when he heard the news, so angry that he almost vomited blood. Hua Xiao felt very dist...
