The fat wife is rebellious: she was spoiled by the group on the way to escape famine
Chapter 15: Much Progress
Some people were eager to step forward and talk, but were stopped in their tracks by the stern look given by Song Wenqin who was following closely behind them.
Song Wenqin still remembered the last time Jiang Jinhe was injured, and would never allow any possible danger to approach her again.
Jiang Jinhe gave a few brief answers and then led the anxious crowd into the city gate.
There were guards everywhere at the city gate, but they did not stop the refugees, and they could not hide their excitement.
Most people clearly remember Jiang Jinhe's promise. It was unbelievable that she fulfilled it in just a few days.
The villagers of Ayuan Village followed the crowd, and several people close to the village chief began to whisper.
"Village Chief, this girl from the Jiang family is really capable. We've really entered the city! Why don't we move forward and let her find a good position for our village?"
The village chief was unwilling to humble himself and ask for help from a woman. He stroked his small beard and said calmly:
"No need, we are from the same village, the Song family and the Jiang family will take care of us."
Although the village chief spoke with certainty, he was actually unsure in his heart. Even if Jiang Jinhe did not do this, he had a way to make the villagers attribute it to her.
Jiang Jinhe was completely unaware of this at this time.
After entering the west city, Jiang Jinhe was randomly assigned a residence.
Most women, children and the elderly receive better conditions, while young and middle-aged people receive relatively poor conditions.
Although all the people in Ayuan Village were housed together, due to the small number of people, other refugees also mixed into the yard.
This move caused strong dissatisfaction among villagers.
"What does the Jiang family girl mean? How can we squeeze in with outsiders? How can we live in this shabby yard? Why don't you give us the brick and tile courtyard over there?"
Just as the villagers of Ayuan Village were complaining,
Jiang Jinhe has already selected people to go with her to dig taro.
She never thought of bringing people from Ayuan Village. Many people in the village were hostile to her, and Jiang Jinhe had no intention of feeding ungrateful people.
After selecting the personnel, she immediately led the team away. When the village chief and his men came to look for her, Jiang Jinhe had already disappeared without a trace.
When Jiang Jinhe brought back the food, everyone was delighted.
Having shelter and food is a gift from God in the eyes of refugees.
Jiang Jinhe distributed the food based on the number of people, and everyone in Ayuan Village received two small taro pieces.
Although small, each one is about the size of a fist, which is quite a feast for people who have not had enough food for many years.
Each young child has one.
For Ayuan Village, this is like adding fuel to the fire.
They did not take care of their own people when allocating housing, and favored outsiders when distributing food, completely disregarding the lives of their own people.
Complaints arose from all directions in Ayuan Village. At this time, the second son of the Song family, Song Laoer, returned quietly with Xie Xiaofang and the child, and quietly found Jiang Jinhe to apologize:
"Third sister-in-law, I'm so sorry. Our past mistakes were due to our ignorance. We admit our mistakes. As long as you feel relieved, we'll do anything. But can you give us a little more of the taro? Yingzi is still growing up."
Jiang Jinhe looked at Song Laoer's humble appearance in front of her and chose to remain silent.
"Why don't you apologize to your sister-in-law?" Seeing this, Song Lao Er suddenly pushed Xie Xiaofang beside him.
Xie Xiaofang apologized to Jiang Jinhe in a soft voice, but Jiang Jinhe did not feel relieved. Instead, a chill rose in his heart.
She could clearly feel that Xie Xiaofang was wholeheartedly thinking about this small family. In comparison, Song Laoer's selfishness made her heartbroken.
Looking at Xie Xiaofang holding the child in her arms and keeping her head down in silence, Jiang Jinhe finally softened her heart and gave them her share as well.
After sending everyone away, Jiang Jinhe was able to catch his breath for a while.
Song Wenqin helped her back to their cozy little home, where Song Yuyu was waiting by the fire.
When Song Yuyu saw Jiang Jinhe returning, she wanted to get up to greet him, but her bulging belly stopped her from moving.
"Yu Yu, just sit there and don't move. Your belly is so big that I'm worried." Jiang Jinhe quickly advised.
Jiang Jinhe sat down with Song Wenqin's help and said, "Come, I'll help you make these taro. Do you want to boil them or roast them?"
Song Wenqin replied casually, "Anything is fine."
Song Yuyu's eyes were full of anticipation: "Me too, I love whatever my sister-in-law cooks. Her cooking skills are the best!"
Jiang Jinhe looked at Song Yuyu's innocent face, his heart aching. He forced a smile and said, "Okay, I'll do both. Today, I'll let you see my real kung fu!"
It’s just ordinary boiled and roasted taro, but it somehow feels like preparing a feast.
Jiang Jinhe self-deprecatingly attributed the abnormality to hunger.
She simply washed the taro, then fried it briefly in oil in a simple iron pan, then added water and boiled it.
As for roasting taro, it is more direct. Throw the taro and the chestnuts collected by Song Yuyu into the pile of hot stones and wait for the magic of time and high temperature to work.
While cooking, Jiang Jinhe was fully focused, while Song Wenqin and Song Yuyu beside her stared at her intently.
Song Yuyu's eyes were full of admiration, while Song Wenqin's were filled with inquiry and amazement.
Especially when the aroma overflowed from the lid of the pot, both of their eyes lit up.
After tasting it, this rare delicacy completely conquered the brother and sister.
"Sister-in-law, it's delicious, you are awesome!" Song Yuyu exclaimed incoherently.
Jiang Jinhe looked at them wolfing down the food, feeling filled with satisfaction - this was the greatest honor for a chef.
In order to maintain her figure, Jiang Jinhe only stopped eating when she was about 50% full.
She forced Song Yuyu to eat more of the remaining food. After all, the little girl was always reluctant to eat more.
After dinner, Song Yuyu couldn't resist the sleepiness, so Jiang Jinhe urged her to go to rest.
But Jiang Jinhe himself had no desire to sleep. It was still early, which was around six or seven in the evening in modern time.
Glancing at Song Wenqin who was glancing at her from time to time, Jiang Jinhe understood what he was thinking.
It must be that I have changed so much that he became suspicious.
But she wasn't prepared to explain. Since she likely couldn't return to her old world, and she and Song Wenqin were already husband and wife, destined to be together for the long term, hiding the truth wasn't a good idea. It would be better to be honest with him, allowing him to accept her true self, rather than constantly pretending and exhausting herself physically and mentally.
"When will days like this end?" Jiang Jinhe suddenly asked.
This time, Song Wenqin responded quickly: "Soon, we are much stronger now than before."
He paused and added, "This is all thanks to you."
Jiang Jinhe felt a little warm in her heart that Song Wenqin, a taciturn person, could say such words.
The two chatted for a few more minutes and then went to rest.
In the middle of the night, Song Wenqin was awakened by the sound of Song Yuyu turning over. He turned his head and found that Jiang Jinhe was not around.
His heart suddenly tightened, and panic washed over him like a tide. He quickly got up to look for her, only to find Jiang Jinhe sitting alone outside, looking up at the moon.
Thinking of her slightly depressed words after dinner, Song Wenqin's heart couldn't help but tighten. He sighed secretly and turned to go into the house.
Song Yuyu was still awake, sitting against the wall, staring at the campfire in a daze.
Song Wenqin hesitated for a moment and said softly, "Little sister, why don't you go see your sister-in-law? She seems to be in a bad mood. You should go and keep her company."
