Jiang Jinhe interrupted her before she could finish, "Okay, we still have to eat, please help yourself."

Jiang Jinhe might be able to tolerate Aunt Zhang Xiuqin, but she really didn't like Second Aunt, who was always fussy and good at stirring up trouble.

Seeing Jiang Jinhe ordering them to leave, the two families sat down on the ground and burst into tears, staging a farce.

"Dad and Mom, you left early. How could you have known that the Third Brother is so heartless now? He doesn't even dare to say a word to his brother and sister-in-law. He really brings shame to our Song family!"

Even the two children were dragged in and forced to cry along.

"Why are you crying? It's all because your grandpa and grandma passed away early, leaving us orphans and widows. How could your uncle and aunt remember you when they have something delicious?"

Jiang Jinhe sneered, "Cry, even if you cry your heart out today, don't even think about getting anything from me in this yard!"

She pulled Song Wenqin straight into the kitchen, started to light a fire and cook.

This was her first time cooking tiger meat, and she felt a surge of challenge and excitement as a chef. The noise outside could not disturb her mood at all.

In this time and space, tigers are protected animals. How could anyone have the chance to taste this wild game in the past?

This was the first time Jiang Jinhe experienced the benefits of time travel.

She examined the cuts of meat carefully, some thighs, some belly, each with a different texture, suitable for different cooking methods.

The belly meat is relatively tender, while the leg meat is firm and all lean meat.

Jiang Jinhe decided to mix the two, cutting the meat into even cubes, grilling part of it and making soup with the rest.

There is still some yam left at home. Although there is no taro, the taste will surely be better if stewed with taro.

Amid the wails of the two families, Jiang Jinhe was busy and happy.

During this mountain trip, in addition to meat and medicinal herbs, she also collected a lot of spices.

Now, her small kitchen is full of seasonings, except for sugar or honey, otherwise the flavor of the barbecue would be even better.

However, this is a huge improvement compared to the situation when I first arrived.

Jiang Jinhe self-deprecatingly felt that he was too greedy.

Song Yuyu and Song Wenqin assisted on the side, and Jiang Jinhe handed the simple tasks to them.

The new little girl huddled timidly in the corner, not saying a word.

Jiang Jinhe didn't pay too much attention to it. After all, people from the first and second houses were present. If she wasn't careful, some trouble might arise.

She made up her mind to send those two families away first, and then have a good chat with the girl.

Before long, bursts of aroma wafted from the kitchen, making people so hungry that they felt like the little glutton in their throat was about to jump out and run wild.

Song Yuyu and Song Wenqin had been watching from the sidelines. After tasting the meat slices that Jiang Jinhe handed over as a sample, their eyes lit up immediately. When they looked at Jiang Jinhe, it was as if they had seen a living Bodhisattva who saved people from suffering.

Jiang Jinhe looked at the two people's reactions and smiled contentedly, obviously quite proud of her culinary innovation.

Yingzi and Huzi were originally forced to cry by their parents, but now, as they smelled the fragrance filling their noses and thought that they would not be able to taste even a single bite, they were instantly filled with sadness and cried even more sincerely.

Even the four adults from my uncle's and second uncle's families couldn't help but swallow their saliva when they smelled the smell.

Jiang Jinhe had prepared the food, but the six people were still lingering in the yard.

She asked Song Yuyu to stay in the kitchen and then closed the kitchen door.

He turned around and walked to the corner of the yard, picked up a big broom and swung it at them.

Dust was flying everywhere and several people were choking and coughing.

Seeing that there was no hope of getting a free meal, Zhang Xiuqin and Xie Xiaofang began to curse:

"You little rascal, how dare you treat your sister-in-law like this! I'll report you to the village chief!"

"Woo woo! Jiang family! Remember this!"

Jiang Jinhe ignored their threats and, without saying anything, drove them out of the yard. After closing the door, he breathed a sigh of relief, clapped his hands, and said with a smile:

"Okay, those annoying mosquitoes are gone, now we can enjoy our food."

Song Wenqin impatiently opened the kitchen door and brought the food into the house, while Jiang Jinhe went over to help the little girl up.

He brushed the dust off her body lovingly and led her to get a wet towel to wipe her hands.

Touching her thin and rough little hand, Jiang Jinhe's eyes couldn't help but become moist.

"Tell me, what's your name?"

The little girl raised her head timidly and said in a hoarse voice:

"Sister, I don't have a name, Daddy calls me a stinky girl."

Jiang Jinhe felt a pang in his heart, and he suppressed his emotions and said:

"Then I'll help you pick a name. What do you think? From now on, you can take my last name and be called Jiang Wan'er. How about that?"

She looked at the girl carefully. She had delicate features and the name Wan'er was really appropriate for her.

I hope she can become a gentle and virtuous girl in the future.

The little girl nodded, completely unaware that her fate was about to change dramatically.

Jiang Jinhe brought the freshly washed Jiang Wan'er back to the house and solemnly introduced:

"This is Jiang Wan'er. She will live with us from now on."

Song Yuyu liked the child very much. She smiled and took her hand to sit next to her.

"Okay, after working so hard for so long, we can finally start. Everyone, please feel free."

Jiang Jinhe picked up the chopsticks first and picked up a piece of barbecue. Seeing this, the other two also raised their chopsticks.

The barbecued meat was well-balanced, fragrant but not greasy. The three of them agreed that this was the best delicacy in the world.

After Jiang Jinhe finished eating a piece of meat, he noticed Wan'er secretly swallowing her saliva but not moving her chopsticks.

She put the chopsticks into Wan'er's hand and said:

"Don't just look, eat."

Wan'er burst into tears and sobbed...

"Sister, I can't eat. Can you please not leave me?" Jiang Jinhe's eyes instantly turned red, and he gently stroked her cheek to comfort her.

"I will never leave you in this life, don't worry. Come, eat a little, okay?" Wan'er nodded with tears in her eyes, carefully picked up a small piece of meat, and as soon as she put it in her mouth, tears burst out even more.

She had never tasted anything so delicious.

This time, Jiang Jinhe felt less worried and smiled more. She jokingly asked:

"How does it feel? Is it so delicious that it makes you cry?"

Wan'er nodded heavily, and this scene made everyone around her laugh out loud.

After dinner, Jiang Jinhe arranged for Wan'er to sleep with Song Yuyu. Song Yuyu was only six years older than Wan'er and loved her very much, treating her almost like her own sister.

The next morning, Song Wenqin decided to go hunting in the mountains alone.

Although Lingshan is full of dangers, he decided to explore deeper in order to find food.

Traveling alone made him more agile, and he set out before dawn and returned on the same day.

However, not long after Song Wenqin left the house, an uninvited visitor arrived at his home.

A ragged man broke into Jiang Jinhe's room.

Taking advantage of Jiang Jinhe's unpreparedness, he pushed her to the ground.
