She said to Song Wenqin seriously:

"When you hunt in the future, don't just think about finding meat. In this day and age, it's nice to be able to eat meat, but meat isn't the most nutritious. It's useless other than satisfying hunger. For our future, finding grass, roots, nuts, and water is the most important thing."

As recorded in history, there were many years of disaster in the past.

Many starving refugees even began to eat humans.

People are also meat, and big pieces of meat at that.

The victims thought they could survive by eating meat, but they didn't know that meat would bring them plague and disease, and even the even more terrifying disaster of hunger.

If they want to survive for a long time, they have to rely on crops such as grains and rice. Unfortunately, they can't even find a good piece of land, so they can't farm.

Jiang Jinhe fell into deep thought. Noticing that Song Wenqin hadn't responded for a long time, she poked his muscles and urged him, "Did you hear that, my husband?"

Song Wenqin finally came back to his senses and responded with a "hmm".

He was silent for a while, as if his patience had reached its limit, and asked, "What did you call me just now?"

What's your name? My husband!

The two have been married for three years!

If not husband, what should I call him?

Of course, according to Jiang Jinhe’s previous memories.

The original owner and Song Wenqin used to get along like two strangers living in the same room, hardly speaking from morning to night.

The man just took food home.

As for women, after eating, they would just fall onto the bed, and couples would never call each other "wife" or "husband" affectionately.

But didn’t Jiang Jinhe travel through time?

She was determined to change her fate, but of course she couldn't just pretend to be the lazy owner and continue to eat and wait for death!

Besides, she also knew that Song Wenqin was a cold-hearted person who didn't like to meddle in other people's affairs. Instead of guessing all day long, it would be better to be frank from the beginning and bring this guy into her camp.

Having a helper like Song Wenqin who has extremely strong fighting power will only benefit me and not harm me!

Jiang Jinhe thought about this, staring at his sturdy body with sparkling eyes, even the rough linen clothes could not hide his strong chest muscles.

Oops, after looking at him for so long, I don’t think this man with a scar on his face is ugly anymore.

Who made Song Wenqin have such an amazing figure? If she had seen him in a short video in her previous life, she would have had to call him "husband" countless times.

"you......"

It was the first time in his life that Song Wenqin felt a chill down his spine when he was stared at by a woman. He frowned and was about to say something when he was interrupted by a shout.

"The third son of the Song family, get out here!"

"Don't think we don't know you're secretly eating meat in there!"

"Third brother, how can your family be so selfish? You have meat but you don't share it with everyone? Hurry up and take out the meat! Otherwise, don't blame us for being ruthless!"

Hearing these shouts, Jiang Jinhe realized that they were people from Ayuan Village and couldn't help but wonder.

"What are they yelling about?"

Song Wenqin frowned, hid the dried meat, and pushed Jiang Jinhe away: "You stay at home, I'll go out and take a look."

"Wait!" Jiang Jinhe snorted and pushed Song Wenqin behind her.

"I'll handle it myself."

Jiang Jinhe opened the door of the outer room and saw at a glance that the leaders were Zhang Xiuqin and Xie Xiaofang, as well as Li Min, the village chief of Ayuan Village.

Jiang Jinhe raised an eyebrow: "What's going on? Even the village chief was alarmed?"

"Guess what!" Xie Xiaofang spoke first, hugging Zhang Xiuqin's arm and crying.

"Sister, I really didn't expect that the third brother's family was so mean. This morning, my brother and his wife stole your food. At night, the third brother hunted a rabbit and didn't tell the villagers. The two of them hid in the house and ate it secretly!"

When the villagers holding torches heard the word "rabbit", they all became excited and screamed and shouted:

"Get the rabbit out!"

"Rabbit! That's meat! It's been so long since I've tasted meat!"

"Village chief, that fat guy Jiang Jinhe actually hid meat. Such a cunning person should just be killed! If it's important, we can sell it to the bandits and get food in exchange!"

These starving victims spoke with a fierce tone.

Most people would be scared to death, but Jiang Jinhe remained calm. He looked directly into those malicious eyes and asked, "You said we have rabbits at home? Where's the evidence?"

She still used the same old tricks, never defending herself but just questioning the other party.

This time Xie Xiaofang was smart and took out the rabbit skin from her pocket.

"I knew the third brother's wife would cheat! I came to your house in the evening and saw rabbit blood and rabbit skin!"

Jiang Jinhe was not flustered, but laughed twice.

"Second sister-in-law, when did you come to my house? How come I didn't know you were here?"

"I never opened the door for you, how could you get in? Did my second sister-in-law come in through the dog hole in the backyard just to steal this rabbit skin?"

Xie Xiaofang's face turned red.

"What's wrong with crawling through a dog hole?! Stop talking nonsense! You can't deny it this time! You're just eating meat secretly!"

Faced with irrefutable evidence, the village chief, Li Min, said in a deep voice, "Old Third's wife, what you're doing is unkind. It's a famine year, and the whole village is fleeing together to survive. Before we fled, we agreed to work together, help each other, and forage for food together every day, sharing what we found."

"I understand that some villagers harbor selfish thoughts. Normally, we'd turn a blind eye to minor quarrels. But this time, you've really gone too far. It was a rabbit! Don't you know how long it's been since our village tasted meat? If you don't share the food, it's obvious you don't consider Ayuan Village your home!"

As soon as Li Min finished speaking, some villagers started to make a noise:

"Just kick these selfish people out!"

"Don't you think this is your home? We shouldn't protect this family anymore! I don't think that fat woman Jiang Jinhe can survive without the villagers to look after her. Sooner or later, she'll be caught by bandits and stewed!"

Jiang Jinhe shook his head and coldly questioned Li Min, "Village Chief, you can drive me away, but you have to think clearly. Can Ayuan Village do without my wife, Song San?"

"After three years of fleeing famine, every time we settled down, wasn't it Song Wenqin who did the most work and looked for food the most diligently? Yes, my family ate rabbit meat in private, but did we enjoy it?"

Isn't it just a competition of who can speak better about moral principles?

She doesn't?

Jiang Jinhe's face changed, and she covered her face with her hands and started crying, as if she was putting on a show. "After the family split up, my eldest and second sisters-in-law took away all the valuables in the house! They didn't even leave a bag of salt or a pot of oil! I cried and cried at the village entrance all day, but which villager helped us? If we weren't so heartbroken, would we have hidden the meat?"

"Village chief, ask yourself honestly, has this ever happened before? Every time my husband found food, didn't he give it all to the village? Even today, when the villagers shared the firewood we collected, we didn't say a word. Now it's dark, and you come with all these torches, but our house is pitch black, without even a light! Even if robbers come, they won't know where we are!"

"Woooooooo..."
