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

At the same time, Zhang Xiuqin, who had noticed the commotion, could no longer suppress the emotions surging in her heart. She quickly stepped forward and asked in a tone that was as polite as possible but still a little stiff, "Sister-in-law, are you not very satisfied with our two boys?"

The straightforward words made the atmosphere at the scene stagnate, but instead caused Jiang Jinhe to burst out laughing.

After a moment's thought, she replied unabashedly, "Well, I really don't like them that much."

Zhang Xiuqin was obviously surprised when she heard this, but she quickly regained her composure, a fleeting smile reappearing on her face. "Oh, how can this be? After all, Dahu and Xiaolong are the future pillars of our family! What if my sister-in-law can't give birth to a boy to carry on the family line... shouldn't we cherish and love them even more? That way we'll have someone to rely on in the future!"

She tried to persuade the other party to change his mind by emphasizing this point, but obviously ignored the underlying problem.

After hearing this, Jiang Jinhe tried hard to suppress her laughter, "Oh, you mean you hope they will take care of me in my old age?"

Zhang Xiuqin, oblivious to the teasing, immediately became excited upon hearing this, as if she had found a treasure. She thought she had found a way to persuade him, "That's right! Third sister-in-law, you don't have to worry about anything. As long as Da Hu and Xiao Long are by your side to take care of you, I guarantee you'll have a worry-free life!"

To prove his sincerity, he even reached out and tried to pull Dabao and Xiaolong, who were standing not far away, closer to express his friendship...

Helplessly, as they had already witnessed Jiang Jinhe's strict side before, no matter how their mother tried to persuade them, the two brothers not only had no intention of getting close to her, but instead took a few steps back to keep a safe distance to avoid touching the minefield again and being scolded.

Faced with such a situation, Jiang Jinhe, who has always been calm and composed, couldn't help but curl up the corners of her mouth.

"No problem, but you must agree to a few preconditions."

She stated the facts calmly.

"Just state any conditions you want."

Zhang Xiuqin quickly interjected, still with a bright smile on her face, hoping to win the final victory.

Then Jiang Jinhe began to list in detail all the requirements and expectations for her future life...

"And you, who can only give birth to daughters, don't even have the ability to give birth to sons! When you get old, don't even dream that our children will take care of you."

Zhang Xiuqin's sarcastic words filled the air, like a sharp blade piercing Xie Xiaofang's heart.

Her eyes flashed with the triumph and mockery of a winner, and the corners of her mouth rose in a distinct arc, as if in a provocation.

"You and your family should just go begging!"

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere around them suddenly froze, as if even the air had become heavy.

The Song family members looked at each other, with varying degrees of shock and confusion on their faces.

Xie Xiaofang turned pale instantly, the blood color on her cheeks disappeared in an instant, and embarrassment was written all over her face.

Her fingers unconsciously tugged at the corner of her clothes, as if trying to find a hiding place.

Jiang Jinhe, who was standing by, also felt an indescribable pressure, but her expression remained calm and composed, without any hesitation.

Seeing this situation, Song Muchang immediately stood up, his brows furrowed tightly, but his tone was surprisingly gentle: "Second brother and sister-in-law, let's talk it out. After all, we are all family."

Seeing Song Muchang showing such weakness, Zhang Xiuqin felt even more proud.

She sneered, "What kind of family are we? We'll talk about it if your wife is also capable of giving birth to a boy!"

Although she was apparently speaking to Song Muchang, her eyes were actually fixed on Jiang Jinhe, full of provocation and hostility.

It seemed as if he was warning Jiang Jinhe that he should not waste precious family resources on daughters who would be useless in the future. It would be better to leave them all to his own sons Dahu and Xiaolong so that they would have no one to rely on in the future.

In Zhang Xiuqin's heart, no matter how capable Jiang Jinhe was - even if she could easily catch wild rabbits, dig up delicious yams, or even magically turn ordinary water into sweet syrup, Jiang Jinhe was ultimately a loser when it came to giving birth to a son.

She had an ordinary appearance, even bigger than the sow at home, and was completely unattractive.

Zhang Xiuqin thought, if she were Song Wenqin, she would never touch Jiang Jinhe in her life.

Jiang Jinhe actually already knew all of this.

She simply raised her eyes slightly, her calm gaze sweeping over Zhang Xiuqin, then looked at the two boys standing behind her—Xiaolong and Dahu—and nodded slightly: "Well, I understand what you mean. I'm considering adjusting my opinion of you."

After hearing this, Zhang Xiuqin showed a satisfied smile on her face, as if she thought her goal had been achieved.

Although the Song family members around him remained silent, Jiang Jinhe could feel that they still tended to prefer boys in their hearts.

The corners of her mouth curled up slightly, revealing a hint of a sneer.

I'm afraid I can't treat them with such delicious food and fish in the future, otherwise it will only bring more trouble.

A moment later, Song Wenqin came back with two young men from the village.

Under the guidance of these two people, everyone came to a hidden valley not far away.

It was almost time to prepare lunch, so the village chief gave a few quick instructions and left.

All family members immediately got busy - some were responsible for collecting firewood, some were looking for water sources everywhere, and everyone devoted themselves to their own work.

Unfortunately, a captured little rabbit among the supplies they brought was accidentally crushed to death. Seeing this scene, the three sisters Xiaolan couldn't help but show a bit of sadness in their eyes.

Jiang Jinhe firmly decided not to let the three girls get involved in such things again. Then she turned to Xie Xiaofang and ordered, "I'll leave this rabbit to you."

Since Xiaolan couldn't fit into the clothes that had been prepared earlier, someone else had to take care of it.

Xie Xiaofang was introverted and not good at speaking. She snorted and said that she had never done this kind of work before, but she still took the rabbit and walked towards the cooking area.

At this time, Old Lady Song also stood up, brushed the dust off her pants, and said to Mu Cheng, "Let's go to the village chief to discuss borrowing some food. We still have a long way to go!"

Hearing his mother say this, Song Mucheng immediately put down the work in his hands and prepared to leave.

However, Zhang Xiuqin had been waiting for an opportunity. She immediately stepped forward to stop Song Muchang and smiled shrewdly, "Mother, why did you have to go out and borrow food? How can we pay them back now? Besides, didn't my third sister-in-law promise to supply us with food throughout the journey?"
