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

After finding a safe place, Jiang Jinhe asked Song Wenqin to meditate and regulate his breathing first, while he led others to pick a bunch of wild vegetables, and then the group left the forest.

Capturing a tiger is already a considerable achievement.

I have been away from home for a long time. I need to return home quickly so that the old and young at home don't worry about them.

However, on their way back, they happened to meet refugees who were fleeing from elsewhere.

When the group of people saw that they were carrying the corpse of such a huge tiger, greed flashed in their eyes.

As fellow displaced people, Jiang Jinhe and his group understood too well the desire behind those eyes.

Chi Luoluo's thoughts almost jumped out of his throat.

Everyone immediately became alert and formed a circle at the same time, confronting the person in the circle who was staring at them fiercely, with an undercurrent surging in the silence.

Lin Shen looked at this group of people, his heart filled with bitterness.

As a local official, he naturally wanted to lend a helping hand, but his own subordinates were struggling to make a living, let alone helping more people.

Lin Shen waved his arm, and the sword-wielding guards and servants around him quickly stepped forward, their hands on the hilts of their swords, and their sharp eyes forced the refugees with murderous looks to retreat.

They had no weapons in hand and although they were outnumbered, they had the advantage in numbers.

However, at this moment, the opponent held a sharp knife, and the situation took a turn for the worse.

The hope of victory is extremely slim.

No matter how hungry you are, you will not blindly rush to death.

After a moment of confrontation, there was movement in the crowd opposite.

A skinny man walked out pushing a little girl who looked about seven or eight years old, followed by a pregnant woman and several men.

The girl held the woman's hand tightly, but was slapped to the ground, crying.

The woman had no expression on her face, as if everything had nothing to do with her.

The man hunched over and suggested with a flattering smile:

"Everyone, how about exchanging my daughter? This child is ten years old and still has a lot of flesh on her body. Look!"

Fearing that people wouldn't believe him, the man pulled the girl's arm and rolled up his sleeves to show her.

The girl, who looked as thin as seven or eight years old, was terrified and tried to retreat, but the man ignored her and just looked at everyone expectantly.

Jiang Jinhe and others' expressions changed slightly.

During those years of famine, cannibalism was not uncommon, but when tragedy was not right in front of people, people always thought that disaster was far away.

At this moment, the heart-wrenching cry was like a reminder that similar tragedies are happening every moment, and they are just lucky.

With Jiang Jinhe around, they are still some distance away from despair.

"Dad, Dad! I really can go without food and drink and still take care of Mom. Please don't abandon me, Dad!"

The man seemed not to hear and knocked his daughter down with another palm.

He completely ignored the fact that his daughter had fallen to the ground and just kept talking about the girl's "value".

Jiang Jinhe almost felt sick after hearing this and stepped forward to stop it.

"We will never exchange!"

Jiang Jinhe found it difficult to speak the word "cannibalism".

The man was stunned when he heard this, and when he saw that everyone behind Jiang Jinhe had no objection, he realized that Jiang Jinhe could represent everyone.

He looked at the tiger in the circle reluctantly, his face suddenly becoming ferocious and terrifying.

His back straightened instantly and he kicked the girl on the ground, followed by a round of punches and kicks accompanied by curses.

"Waste! What's the point of raising you? You can't even buy food!"

Several other men also joined in the violence.

Jiang Jinhe looked at the child, and even after enduring the beatings and kicks, she showed a hint of relief, as if she was glad that she was not abandoned.

Her heart softened and she turned her gaze to Song Wenqin and other onlookers, but she found that many people could not bear to watch and avoided their sight.

Jiang Jinhe resolutely intervened and stopped this injustice.

"That's enough, stop fighting, I'll switch with you."

As soon as he finished speaking, the abuser suddenly stopped, stared at Jiang Jinhe with shining eyes, and responded repeatedly. His appearance made Jiang Jinhe feel as if she had fallen into a preset trap.

This guy seemed to have calculated her sympathy and the fact that she was a woman, so he performed this drama unscrupulously.

Even if he lost something in the bet, he would not suffer any loss, it would just be a waste of some physical strength.

Jiang Jinhe glanced at him indifferently, turned around and cut a piece of meat from the tiger with a knife.

During this process, she noticed the strange expressions on the faces of the people around her, but she had no time to care about them at the moment.

She exchanged tiger meat for the little girl. Although the little girl had just been beaten, she did not cry. She just looked back at her mother and left with Jiang Jinhe.

Jiang Jinhe had no time to comfort the little girl. She just wanted to take her home as soon as possible to avoid any further trouble.

After entering the city, Jiang Jinhe openly instructed Song Wenqin to deal with the tiger, skin it and bleed it, and then divide the meat equally among the people who went into the mountains with him, without any partiality.

A few people who were injured and wanted to complain shut up when they saw that what they got was no different from Jiang Jinhe and Song Wenqin.

Lin Shen directly proposed that the largest piece of tiger meat should belong to Jiang Jinhe and his wife. Facing Jiang Jinhe's refusal, Lin Shen emphasized loudly:

"You two have made an invaluable contribution to this trip. Without you, not only would we not be able to share the tiger meat, but we wouldn't even be alive. Don't refuse anymore."

Lin Shen's words made no one dare to object. After all, what he said made sense, and everyone's future survival still depended on Jiang Jinhe.

So, Jiang Jinhe accepted this well-deserved honor with a clear conscience.

After the distribution was completed, Lin Shen took away the tiger bones, whips, skins and other items, intending to sell them at a good price as precious medicinal materials to extend the period of porridge distribution in the city.

Jiang Jinhe and Song Wenqin returned with the tiger meat and the little girl, and Song Yuyu greeted them at the door with a big belly.

Jiang Jinhe hurried forward to support him, scolding him, "Why are you still standing? What if you fall?"

As he was talking, he helped Song Yuyu walk inside. Song Yuyu glanced at the tiger meat in Song Wenqin's hand, and couldn't help swallowing her saliva. She smiled shyly, "Sister-in-law, I heard that we divided the meat, so I couldn't help but come out to take a look."

The two of them walked into the inner courtyard while laughing and talking, only to see the Song family's first and second wives waiting for them.

Song Yuyu whispered a reminder: "Sister-in-law, they are here to share a piece of the pie too!"

The news of the meat-sharing had apparently spread throughout the city, and those who were too timid to participate must have regretted it greatly. The eldest and second wives of the Song family were two of them.

Everyone stared at the large piece of tiger meat that Jiang Jinhe took from Song Wenqin with envy. They felt itchy in their hearts and wanted to snatch it away directly.

Jiang Jinhe glanced at Song Wenqin and saw that he was not unusual, so he boldly teased the others, "Hey, isn't this Uncle and Aunt, Uncle and Aunt? What's the matter? Did you come all the way to see if we are the ones who made it out of the mountains alive, or if we have become the wronged ghosts in the mountains?"

There was a hint of sharp sarcasm in his words.

"Oh, sister-in-law, you misunderstood us. How could we not hope for your well-being? We are just worried." Aunt Zhang Xiuqin's face flashed with embarrassment as she tried to defend herself.

Jiang Jinhe almost laughed out loud when she heard this: "Haha, Auntie, what you said is really funny. Have you forgotten who once said that I was crazy and wanted to drag the third brother to die in vain?"

Zhang Xiuqin blushed and stammered, unable to speak. Second Aunt Xie Xiaofang, who was beside her, quickly tried to smooth things over: "Hey, why are we talking about that as a family? Third sister-in-law, let's..."
