Others are fleeing famine, but I am a salted fish

"You didn't see that little girl's face was ruddy and shiny. It's obvious that she has no shortage of food and clothing. Otherwise, do you think I can target them?"

Father Chen seemed unconvinced, and snorted in response, "Are you stupid? Or are you just talking nonsense because you are so hungry? As for your daughter-in-law's family, you have seen all kinds of family conditions. Wasn't it because you despised her poor family that you criticized her to death? Even if they are registered in a village under Wanbao Town, do you think they can still live well with their paper-thin family background?"

"I told you, but you still don't believe it. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't believe it either."

"Okay, okay, you're right." Father Chen said impatiently, not wanting to argue with Mother Chen any more. "Even if their family is doing well, what does it have to do with us? Don't forget, their eldest sister was buried under the rubble during the earthquake, and none of us went back to pull her out. It's been so long, I'm afraid her body must have stank."

"Humph, that bitch should have died long ago. Her family is poor and incompetent, and they can't help my son at all. My son is a scholar, and it's a blessing for their family to marry a country woman like her. Now that the bitch is dead, she's dead. They have to pay us back for all the food and drink we've given them."

"Hmph, that's easy to say. If they are really that easy to get along with, they can beat you so hard this afternoon that you can't even get up."

"Tsk, that's because I wasn't prepared. Wait till I have my hands free, and then I'll make them pay me back tenfold or a hundredfold for everything that bitch ate, drank, and used over the years."

"...Okay, then you can do whatever you want. Go to sleep, don't make any noise. I have to go carry bricks for someone tomorrow. I'm exhausted, and you won't let me have a good rest at night."

Faced with Chen's mother's inexplicable self-confidence, Chen's father did not say discouraging words to discourage her. After all, if Chen's mother could get some food or other things from the Lin family, it would be beneficial to him.

……

After listening to the bizarre conversation between the two old monsters, Lin Xiaoyue just felt unlucky.

What kind of people are these? They haven’t even fallen asleep yet and they’re already dreaming. How can they not be so happy?

Lin Xiaoyue gritted her teeth secretly, and was too lazy to cover the thatch back, so she went straight to the roof next to her.

Fortunately, when she came over, the fight between the fairies had already ended, otherwise she would have had to poke her own eyes out.

It was numb. Even though it was just after the war, Lin Xiaoyue felt that her nose was polluted. She couldn't help but clench her fists, wishing she could beat the bitch and the dog into a paste.

She was just about to turn over and teach them a lesson when she heard them actually starting their post-war summary.

"My husband, those two girls you mentioned this afternoon, your ex-sister-in-law, I saw they were dressed pretty well, not as shabby and unpresentable as you said."

After the war

Wanwan lay exhausted on Chen Youtian, her slender white fingers moving in circles on his chest. Her charming voice was like a hook, tickling Chen Youtian's heart from time to time, making him itch unbearably.

"You little devil, it looks like I haven't fed you yet, and you still have the time to mind other people's business?" Chen Youtian grabbed Wanwan's hand that was stirring up trouble, put it in his mouth and took a bite, "I didn't expect to meet someone from their family here. They are so poor that they should have starved to death in some mountain valley, but I didn't expect them to survive until here."

"What should I do, husband? They are your ex-wife's family. If I, who has risen to this position without any status, are caught by them, it will affect your future career."

"Tsk, what are you afraid of? Their sister has been dead for a long time. Even if she is alive, she can't hinder us. Even if their eldest sister is alive, let her come back to serve our family, serve you tea and water, wash clothes and cook for you, so that you don't have to do so many things every day. I feel bad for your hands."

Seeing that Chen Youtian really didn't care about his ex-wife and kept saying that he put her first, Wanwan couldn't help but feel happy. She smiled and patted his chest gently, and continued to flirt with him coquettishly, "What you said is nice, but I'm afraid that if my elder sister really comes back, my husband will be reluctant to let her go. After all, my elder sister also gave birth to a son and a daughter for you. I'm really worried that you can't let go of my elder sister. What should I do then?"

"You idiot." Chen Youtian scratched Wanwan's straight nose with his finger and said in a cold tone, "Don't even mention Dabao. He has been with you every day and has already regarded you as his mother. As for the little one, she looked like she was dying when she was born. Now there is a natural disaster and famine everywhere. With her small body, I'm afraid she will die earlier than her mother."

"Even if we don't consider the issue of the child, that family doesn't look like they are easy to get along with. I'm afraid that when my husband passes the college entrance examination, they will come to him and ask for an explanation. Wouldn't that just tarnish his reputation?"

In the darkness, Chen Youtian seemed to think twice about what Wanwan said. Thinking that if he went to high school in the future, and his family came to cause trouble without knowing what was good for him, it would be a big trouble indeed. His high spirits unconsciously became heavy.

Seeing that he had taken her words to heart, Wanwan pursed her lips and continued to act coquettishly, "Also, husband, even if Dabao treats me as his biological mother now, when he grows up, what if someone whispers in his ear one day and says something to alienate the relationship between us mother and son. I'm afraid that the child will have a rift with me, and you'll be caught in the middle and it's difficult."

Wanwan's words did have some meaning after all. Although she did not mention her ex-wife in every sentence, every sentence was also implicitly reminding him that in the child's heart, the biological mother is more important than the stepmother.

But when Chen Youtian heard this, he felt that Wanwan was not only more beautiful than a flower, but also knowledgeable and sensible, always putting him first. He was not only worried about his ex-wife's family finding trouble with him, but also worried that his son would miss his mother and become estranged from him when he grew up, which put him in a dilemma.

What a lovely little guy.

Wanwan's knowledge and tact made Chen Youtian feel heartbroken. He hugged her and rubbed her for a while. When they separated again, Chen Youtian said breathlessly, "Originally, I didn't want to tell you so early, but in order to reassure you, a little devil, it doesn't hurt to tell you in advance."

"What is it, sir?"

"You saw this afternoon that their family is doing much better than we thought. I thought, since their eldest sister is gone, why not send Dabao to their home for foster care? Firstly, it will be a reminder for them, so that there will be no possibility of rift between Dabao and you. Secondly, they will help us raise Dabao, which will save us a lot of worry and effort. At the same time, we can also get some money from that family. Why not?"
