The fat wife is rebellious: she was spoiled by the group on the way to escape famine

Ever since she apologized to everyone that day, this girl has been hanging around them like sticky candy, and she is especially affectionate to her.

"Sister-in-law, you are so awesome!"

Upon seeing Jiang Jinhe, the girl immediately burst into praise with a beaming face, "If it weren't for your quick wit today, I probably would have been sold to some bandit as a slave!"

Seeing that the other person's head and face were almost covered with dust, with only the two rows of teeth still showing some bright colors, and looking like a moving black coal ball in the sunlight, Jiang Jinhe, who was originally still thinking about the whole process of what happened before, couldn't help laughing out loud.

"Haha... Look at you! Not to mention bandits, even a mouse would probably avoid you! But then again," she said, her tone becoming slightly more serious after the laughter, "if I really hadn't been there to help you out, the consequences would have been truly disastrous."

Aunt Song, who had been listening to the entire conversation, nodded and agreed, saying, "That's indeed the case. So, Chunhua, from now on, you must remember your mistakes and be grateful to those around you who have helped you. Don't do anything stupid again."

After hearing her mother's words of admonition, Song Chunhua, who was originally playing and joking with her third sister-in-law, could not help but put away her previous playful expression.

He lowered his head and softly agreed, "Mom, I know I was wrong... I will always love my third sister-in-law and praise her more, please rest assured."

In such a scene that was slightly warm and humorous, Xie Xiaofang came over with her three daughters.

She looked towards Jiang Jinhe with gratitude and said, "Jinhe, if you hadn't stepped forward and saved the children today, I'm afraid we would all be in great danger now."

Seeing that her eyes were red and she was obviously still blaming herself for accidentally losing the precious rabbit skin, Jiang Jinhe quickly took out the package that he had hidden long ago from behind and handed it to the sister-in-law.

"Actually, I hid all those rabbit skins. Here they are, returning them to you in their original form."

As he said this, he showed her the object in his hand.

In an instant, the person in front of me had his eyes wide open and his mouth slightly opened. It was obvious that he couldn't believe that this scene was real.

"How could you do this? I thought..."

As he spoke, tears welled up in his eyes, which showed how strong the shock and emotion he felt in his heart was at that moment.

Facing Xie Xiaofang's genuine expression, Jiang Jinhe responded with a smile, "Of course I have my own unique method~ But I'll keep the details a secret for now."

Obviously, she was using a joking way to easily resolve the other person's worries.

The latter waved his hands repeatedly to indicate that he had no intention of delving into too many secrets...

Considering that the current situation is still unknown and there is no clean water available for washing, everyone chose to stay by the road and wait for the rest of the villagers to arrive and join them.

About half an hour later, I saw many fellow villagers gathering in an open area.

After about an hour (equivalent to about two hours by modern standards), except for some abducted women, strong laborers and those who unfortunately lost their lives, all the surviving villagers had stood here in unison, ready to await subsequent arrangements.

After silently calculating the difference in the number of people, Jiang Jinhe found that there were about twelve fewer faces around him.

While the crowd was discussing the recent unfortunate events, the last person to arrive was none other than the head of the Zhou family.

His entire body was covered with obvious scars and his face was extremely pale and haggard.

Especially the blood stains at the corners of his mouth, which made him look particularly miserable and pitiful.

We learned from other villagers that the old man had tried to negotiate with the bandit leader known as the One-Eyed Dragon in order to release his imprisoned daughters.

The result is predictable: he was subjected to brutal and brutal treatment.

Not only that, the other party actually demanded a huge ransom of 20,000 taels of silver, otherwise they threatened to make the eldest daughter of the Zhou family the bride of the thieves.

Just as everyone was indignant about this sudden disaster, some people whose families were still safe joined in the discussion out of boredom or simply to distract themselves from their negative emotions.

"Ah, do you think Mr. Zhou can save his daughter? What if he gives the money but finds out that it's all in vain?"

"Even if we can get the child back, after all this trouble, I don't think it will be able to return to its original state.

Just thinking about it makes me feel heartbroken! "

"Indeed, falling into the hands of such a vicious and cruel person, there is no way there could be a happy ending... It's really pitiful!"

"Oh my god! My family is the worst off in this place. If I had known this day would come, I would have done everything I could to get Miss Zhou to marry me! What a waste of such a beautiful lady..."

At this moment, the village chief suddenly walked towards the Song family and called out from a distance, "Brother Song, what on earth is this black disease that your third son just mentioned?"

His words were filled with anxiety and worry, and he was obviously very concerned about this matter.

His question immediately attracted all the people in the village.

Everyone wanted to find out what was going on, but they didn't dare to get too close and could only watch from a distance.

They were full of doubts, but did not want to miss any details.

The villagers stood in the distance, whispering to each other, and occasionally looking back at the group of Song family members who stood out.

"What on earth is going on? What if it gets transmitted to us?"

The villagers' discussions were heard one after another, and everyone had their own opinions.

Some people think this is a sudden disaster, while others are more pessimistic and believe that once the disease spreads, the entire village will be in great danger.

There was a sense of unease in the air.

Some villagers said that this disease was good luck because the Song family escaped from the bandits unscathed.

"Although they have suffered such a thing, at least they are still alive."

Such words convey a sense of comfort and hope.

Some people sighed at their dark faces and said, "Song Yuyu used to be quite pretty, but now she's become so ugly."

These people seem to have completely ignored the essence of things and only focus on changes in external appearance.

"Wen Qin is really at a loss. He finally found a wife who is a little plump, but she got sick and became even uglier... Hey, she doesn't seem so fat anymore..."
