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

"They have all been taken away by the county magistrate. Let's go to the county government office and take a look."

As soon as Jiang Jinhe finished speaking, he walked towards the county government office. When the others heard this, they were frightened and hesitant.

The county government office is a place that ordinary people cannot easily set foot in!

What's more, how could ordinary people have the opportunity to go to court with the county magistrate and demand the return of the hostages!

Two people in the team backed out, and the remaining three looked at each other, and all followed for the sake of their loved ones.

Jiang Jinhe had no time to care about their emotions at this moment, his mind was full of planning countermeasures.

Even when they arrived at the county government office, they still hadn't found a good solution.

"Well, when the time comes, we have to adapt to the situation."

Jiang Jinhe sighed softly, forced a smile, and walked forward to ask the gatekeeper:

"Excuse me, big brother, is the county magistrate here?"

The bailiff seemed to have been prepared. He glanced at her and led her into the door.

The remaining three people wanted to follow, but were stopped.

"You wait here, I will definitely try to rescue them!"

Jiang Jinhe then followed the yamen runners in and stepped into the familiar hall again.

As soon as he entered the door, Jiang Jinhe saw Song Wenqin and others being forced to kneel in the yard by the police with beating sticks.

"Master!"

She wanted to rush forward, but was stopped.

Jiang Jinhe looked up at the county magistrate, trying to suppress his anger, but still couldn't hide his resentment:

"Sir County Magistrate, what is the purpose of this arrangement? What has my husband done wrong to deserve such treatment?"

County Magistrate Xu Fangqi stood up and said:

"You live in the city, occupying land under my jurisdiction. You should pay grain as rent. Today, the government sent people to collect grain, but your husband dared to refuse them entry. Isn't this a betrayal?"

He looked at Jiang Jinhe's furious expression and acted condescendingly.

"You dared to deceive the imperial officials. Now I have forgiven you."

"Besides, there are so many people in the city. If you don't pay the rent, please move out immediately."

Move out? Not only Jiang Jinhe, but everyone present would never agree to it.

They have been wandering for many days and finally settled down. How could they be willing to leave so easily?

Everyone turned their eyes to Jiang Jinhe, waiting for her response.

Jiang Jinhe felt the heavy burden on her shoulders. Although she was indignant, she knew that she had lost the initiative. She did not dare to turn her back easily and could only try her best to deal with it.

"Your Excellency is absolutely right, but we do not have any surplus food at the moment. Please believe that I will find new food as soon as possible and present it to you." She followed the county magistrate's words and looked up at Xu Fangqi.

"Your Excellency is wise. Although I don't have any other strengths, I am still good at finding food, isn't it?" When talking about his ability to find food, Xu Fangqi recalled the past of taro and yam, and was quite impressed.

"Okay, then I'll give you some more time." Xu Fangqi gave in.

"But if you fail to pay on time, I will no longer be tolerant of you." Jiang Jinhe nodded in agreement.

"Of course, sir, don't worry."

After some kind persuasion, Xu Fangqi finally allowed Jiang Jinhe to lead Song Wenqin and others to leave.

Everyone followed Jiang Jinhe in anxiety, and only dared to breathe a sigh of relief after leaving the county government office. They were extremely grateful to Jiang Jinhe.

Jiang Jinhe forced a smile, but inside she was holding back anger that she had nowhere to vent.

How can this be called being a parent to the people? The people are in dire straits, lacking food and clothing, and yet, as parents, the officials not only do not try to alleviate their difficulties, but actually try every possible means to squeeze the little living space they have left!

Song Wenqin noticed Jiang Jinhe's emotional fluctuations and took the initiative to take over the task of calming everyone down.

Jiang Jinhe glanced at him gratefully, knowing that she shouldn't say much at this moment, for fear that her words would get out of control and harm innocent people.

Everyone was settled in, and the relatives waiting at home finally felt at ease. They thanked Jiang Jinhe and dispersed. Song Yuyu had imitated Jiang Jinhe and prepared dinner, but Jiang Jinhe had no appetite and put down his bowl and chopsticks after a few quick bites.

After forcing a smile at the two of them, she went to sit alone by the dry well in the yard.

Soon, Song Wenqin also came and accompanied him silently.

"Do all officials act this way?" Song Wenqin replied softly, "Yes."

Jiang Jinhe was silent, leaning her head on Song Wenqin's shoulder, looking up at the moonlit sky, missing her distant home.

The next day, Jiang Jinhe was sure that the refugees would still be in fear after experiencing this disaster, so he decided to lead them up the mountain and teach them how to survive in the wild, especially how to identify food.

She knew what to eat, what to avoid, and how to eat it. She knew that "giving a man a fish is worse than teaching him how to fish." If everyone learned to be self-sufficient, she would not worry about their survival in the wild even if they were driven out of the city.

Moreover, during the study period, the food they found was eaten immediately to avoid being intercepted by the county magistrate.

Fortunately, the county magistrate seemed to think the threat was enough and did not send anyone to follow him.

But he underestimated Jiang Jinhe, the woman from the modern world.

When she was faced with a situation where she had no other options, she would of course know how to bow her head and endure, giving herself enough energy to climb up.

Even the county magistrate had no idea how much food they had collected.

Anyway, when you return to the city, just take the small portion you specially saved with you.

This will at least reassure the county magistrate, and they can also try to stay in the city for a few more days.

Since it concerns their own life and death, the refugees all study very hard.

"Everyone, listen up! The leaves of this grass can be chewed and eaten, but the roots are poisonous. They're not very poisonous, but if you're weak, you might be doomed if you eat them! Remember this."

Jiang Jinhe was holding a piece of grass in his hand, and his voice was so loud that it could be heard for miles.

Even someone as knowledgeable as Song Wenqin joined in the learning.

But he couldn't help but be distracted by Jiang Jinhe's seriousness.

His eyes always drift towards her.

In addition to recognizing food and the details of terrain and topography, Jiang Jinhe poured out everything in one go, regardless of how many people understood or remembered it.

Speaking of this, a hint of surprise flashed in Song Wenqin's eyes.

How many surprises does the alcohol in her body hold that she is unaware of?

After all these years of marriage, it turns out that she knows a lot more than just food.

After a day of intensive teaching, Jiang Jinhe felt like he was about to fall apart.

My lips are almost worn out and my throat is so dry it feels like it's on fire.

Fortunately, everyone saw it, and if anyone had some water left in their tank, even just a few sips, they would save it for her to drink.

This made Jiang Jinhe feel warm in his heart.

I always feel that I have chosen the right path.

But when it got dark and everyone left, and Jiang Jinhe returned home without any outsiders around, she really couldn't hold it anymore.

"Ouch! I'm so tired!"

He threw himself on Song Wenqin as if he had no skeleton, totally disregarding his image.

Song Wenqin subconsciously hugged her, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth as he listened to her words.

It feels like hugging a soft ball of flesh.

Although Jiang Jinhe has indeed lost weight during this period, her foundation is there and she can't just lose weight.

Besides, Jiang Jinhe not only cares about losing weight, but also cares about her physical health.

Jiang Jinhe leaned in Song Wenqin's arms, and walked forward step by step with his arms around her waist, looking as lazy as a person without bones.
