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

When I got closer, I found that the situation was much more complicated than I had imagined.

In addition to Song Yuyu, the two little guys, Dahu and Xiaolong, were also standing aside wiping their tears, looking very aggrieved and pitiful.

"Auntie, listen to me, Dahu didn't lie. My brother and I picked up all that firewood ourselves."

Da Hu choked and said, his tone weak but firm.

"Yes, Auntie, my brother didn't lie. Mom was the one who lied. In fact, she didn't come home until dark, and she even asked us to lie to you, claiming that she collected the firewood herself!"

Xiaolong also echoed, with a clear and stubborn light in his eyes.

This sudden development caught everyone off guard.

Li Yue, one of the parties involved, looked extremely embarrassed at the moment.

Her face turned pale and she stared at her two sons fiercely, as if she was about to rush up and teach them a lesson in the next second.

Fortunately, Aunt Song intervened in time and pushed the woman who attempted to commit violence aside.

"Li Yue, you've gone too far! You're actually teaching a child to lie just for a little food. That's outrageous!"

Aunt Song scolded angrily, her tone full of blame and disappointment.

"Mom, you misunderstood. I truly found the firewood myself. As for Da Hu and Xiao Long... they're still young and only know how to play and make mischief. There's no way they could possibly accomplish such a difficult task."

Li Yue defended herself, trying her best to exonerate herself, but there was a flaw in her words.

"No, Mom, you're lying. We collected all that firewood with great effort!"

Dahu refuted his mother's words again, and Xiaolong nodded in agreement.

Now, Li Yue's face turned completely red, and she was extremely excited, like a volcano about to erupt, and she was once again ready to vent her inner anger towards her two sons.

Faced with such bad behavior, the usually gentle Aunt Song could no longer tolerate it. She rushed forward and kicked Li Yue out of the kitchen with all her strength.

He fell right at the feet of Jiang Jinhe, who had just arrived at the door and witnessed everything that happened.

Li Yue, who had been arrogant just now, immediately changed her attitude when she saw Jiang Jinhe. She quickly got up and hugged the latter's thighs tightly, shouting: "Save me, save me..."

"Third sister-in-law, you're the smartest one in this family, so please be fair! I grind beans this morning, from early morning until noon, without even a chance to catch my breath. Then in the afternoon, I have to go out and collect firewood. Not only do I have to work in the fields, but I also have to take care of all the household chores. Even if I don't get any credit for my work, I've worked so hard! You're really being too harsh on me! I feel so wronged."

Jiang Jinhe had already understood that the dispute was caused by filling their stomachs.

She ignored Li Yue's complaints and went straight into the kitchen.

"Mom, what are we having for dinner tonight?"

Jiang Jinhe asked in a calm tone.

As soon as she saw her daughter come in, Aunt Song immediately put down the work in her hands, hurriedly opened the lid of the pot, and her face was full of smiles.

"Jinhe, I know you like to eat white rice, so I specially cooked some delicious rice for you."

"There's also fried dried tofu, stir-fried cabbage, and the pickled lamb has been heated up. The Fang family's cooking skills are truly amazing. They're both delicious and full of flavor!"

Seeing the table full of delicious food, Jiang Jinhe smiled slightly and nodded gratefully.

"It does look very filling, I really enjoyed the meal, thank you mom!"

"What are you thanking me for? If it weren't for a smart daughter like you, we wouldn't be able to have such a delicious meal!"

As Aunt Song spoke, she secretly glanced at Li Yue who was grumbling in dissatisfaction beside her.

"Third sister-in-law, you have to speak up for me! I really worked hard to pick up the firewood today!"

"Third sister-in-law, you know I'm the most loyal and reasonable person to this family. But these two ungrateful children turned around and wronged me, their mother, just to fight for that little bit of food. Don't you care?"

Li Yue entered the kitchen again and started yelling at Jiang Jinhe.

When Jiang Jinhe heard these words, the corners of his mouth twitched unconsciously.

This Li Yue is really capable. First, she flatters herself, praising her wisdom and righteousness, and then she flatters herself, as if she wants to make her the fair party, treating her as a little fool who doesn't understand the ways of the world.

So Jiang Jinhe decided to change the subject and asked about another matter.

"Yuyu, did my second sister-in-law have lunch after grinding those beans this morning?"

When this matter was mentioned, Song Yuyu was obviously still very angry and immediately said:

"I ate it, and I ate more than Third Brother!"

"Three big, white, soft steamed buns, a bowl of stir-fried vegetables, a bowl of fragrant millet porridge, and even drank up the delicious chicken soup I made for Dad!"

"Hey, Third Sister-in-law, why are you bringing this up all of a sudden? What does this have to do with this pickled lamb?"

Song Yuyu frowned in confusion, not understanding why Jiang Jinhe had to talk about the lunch that had already passed. At this moment, wasn't it most important to quickly finish the delicious food in front of them?

"I'm just asking."

Jiang Jinhe said lightly, looking at Dahu and Xiaolong.

For some unknown reason, these two children have become unusually well-behaved since returning to the Song family. They don't even dare to look her in the eye, as if they are very afraid of her.

She still remembered that the two children had apologized to her as soon as they returned home!

At that time, they also looked timid!

At this moment, Jiang Jinhe just glanced at them lightly, and the two children immediately lowered their heads, not even daring to sob.

"Da Hu, Xiao Long, you two just said that your mother found you when it was almost completely dark?"

Jiang Jinhe asked.

Hearing her question, the two brothers became extremely cautious and seemed afraid to speak easily.

Aunt Song nudged them and said gently but firmly, "Hurry up and tell me. You know, although Third Aunt may seem strict, she's actually a very kind person. As long as you listen and explain yourself well, she won't make things difficult for you."

After hearing this, Da Hu and Xiao Long dared to raise their heads and carefully but as thoroughly as possible recounted everything that had happened that day.

When talking about the process of them collecting firewood on the hillside on the right side outside the village, Jiang Jinhe suddenly had a rough guess in his mind.

She then approached the two children and gently took their hands to observe them.

Sure enough, both little hands were covered with tiny red spots left by being pricked by wild locust trees.
