These words made the old lady very dissatisfied, but she didn't say anything, just glanced at Zhang Xiuqin indifferently.

Then Zhang Xiuqin took the opportunity to continue, "Mom, I think we can consider finding a rich man to sell some rabbit skins in exchange for food..."

After hearing these words, Aunt Song was a little moved. She thought about it for a while and felt that this might be a feasible solution.

After all, it is really difficult to find enough food in this wilderness.

Zhang Xiuqin obviously grasped this point and nodded in agreement, as if everything was within her calculations.

"Mom, this is really a helpless move. For the time being, I can consider that the skin is borrowed from my third sister-in-law. I think she won't mind."

Just as Jiang Jinhe was about to speak, Zhang Xiuqin's voice floated over from behind her. The firmness and deliberateness in her tone were as sharp as the chirping of cicadas in summer, almost shaking the air.

Who says I won’t mind?”

The response came almost instantly. Jiang Jinhe's voice was calm but powerful, with a certain sense of unquestionability.

In fact, Zhang Xiuqin had planned this sudden conversation for a long time.

When you see the other person's unhappy expression, you may feel a little happy in your heart, even though there are complex and subtle emotions hidden behind this happiness.

"Third sister-in-law, my original intention was to help you get back the things you gave away. Why don't you understand me?"

Facing Jiang Jinhe's slightly reproachful gaze, Zhang Xiuqin pretended to be innocent and explained, but her words did not diminish the provocation in the slightest.

Jiang Jinhe's lips curled up slightly, his smile as faint as a distant mountain. "No need, I never intend to take back what I give away!"

Although the words were soft, they were firm and resolute.

Then, she turned her gaze to Aunt Song, who was standing silently by the side, and asked, "Mother, the amount of wheat I lost at that time was exactly 20 kilograms, right?"

Seeing the old mother nod hesitantly, it seemed that she wanted to avoid talking about this upsetting matter again.

But soon, Aunt Song gave an affirmative answer, "Well, yes."

Hearing this, Jiang Jinhe felt a little relieved and continued, "I've let that matter go. Please don't worry about it anymore. But now that everyone is gathered together to prepare dinner..."

She paused, her eyes softening, "...why not let me go find some food supplies?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present focused their eyes on Jiang Jing's face, their surprise evident.

Especially Zhang Xiuqin, the second wife who was usually quite confident, had a hint of obvious dissatisfaction in her eyes.

"How could I let you go out alone? It's too dangerous."

Obviously, she didn't want to miss any opportunity to attack her competitors. "Third sister-in-law, can I go with you?"

However, this proposal did not receive the expected enthusiastic response.

Faced with the invitation, Jiang Jinhe just shook his head slightly and said the refusal coldly and politely.

"Don't bother. One person can handle it."

After saying this, she quickly turned around and left the crowd, walking towards the long-abandoned path at the edge of the village, leaving behind a period of silence and confused eyes as her back gradually disappeared into the distance.

Walking alone in the silence, I can hear the sound of falling leaves and the occasional chirping of birds with every step.

After passing through the familiar village scenery, Jiang Jinhe stopped at a remote place - there was a secret entrance leading to an unknown space, which was the special ability left over from the various adventures he had experienced before.

Ever since she accidentally discovered and used the weight-loss drug, she has never experienced the hunger and thirst that ordinary mortals experience. Occasionally drinking a few sips of clear and sweet spring water is enough to meet her daily needs.

What's even stranger is that lately, whenever I savor the flowing liquid in the dead of night, I always feel an unprecedented nourishing effect...

Thinking that her family was about to run out of food, she immediately quickened her pace and entered the mysterious place to look for something that could be used to exchange for food resources.

Before long, they successfully captured two poultry with colorful feathers that looked very similar to pheasants but were even more gorgeous and eye-catching.

Perhaps these colorful little creatures can help solve the current dilemma...

From the moment she returned to the real world from the other side, she still habitually tied up the two precious creatures with tough and sturdy straw ropes to ensure that they could not easily escape control.

Carrying this heavy and anticipated harvest, Jiang Jinhe returned to the camp and handed the item directly to her mother-in-law, completely ignoring the curious and even questioning eyes of the people around her.

"Mother-in-law, can these be exchanged for the rations we need?"

Although his tone was calm, he could not hide his urgency.

But in fact, Song Muchang is only 28 years old this year, and his eldest child Xiaocao is only eight years old.

This means that the Song family's parents got married very late, much later than the average person.

Perhaps they had their first child, Song Muchang, when they were around thirty years old.

In this country, if a woman is not married by the age of seventeen, it will be considered illegal.

So, who could have imagined that this couple would wait until they were in their thirties to get married?

The hidden story behind this is puzzling. Could someone have secretly modified their household registration records?

Generally speaking, this rarely happens.

All signs indicate that this family is hiding many puzzling secrets.

The more Jiang Jinhe thought about it, the more she felt that this couple was full of unknowns and mysteries.

She was lost in deep thought, and suddenly, her eyes met Song Chunhua's.

Jiang Jinhe gave the other party an extremely ferocious smile, which instantly startled Song Chunhua, and the bowl in her hand almost fell and broke on the ground.

After dinner, the whole family finished eating quickly and started packing.

At this moment, the village chief began to anxiously urge everyone: "Hurry up and pack up! Prepare everyone's bags. We need to rush to Yunshui Town ahead to rest tonight."

He went on to emphasize, "There, you can buy enough drinking water and food!"

He then added, "Starting tomorrow, we will enter the Fancheng area. Living conditions there are extremely difficult, especially with the extreme scarcity of water. Everyone must prepare all necessary supplies in advance!"

The village chief's words were like a sharp knife piercing everyone's heart, causing the villagers of Xiafang Village to feel unprecedented panic.
