Zhang Xiuqin couldn't help but lick her lips, her throat twitched slightly involuntarily, and she swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
The round and cute egg, emitting golden light like a little sun, attracted her attention.
Almost in the next second, her hands seemed to reach into the pot uncontrollably, trying to grab this mouth-watering delicacy.
Just as she was about to touch those cute-looking eggs, she felt a sudden sharp pain in her wrist, followed by a few crisp slapping sounds.
The sudden blow made Zhang Xiuqin quickly retract her arm. The pain made her frown and she couldn't help biting her lips.
"If you move again, I'll chop you up with a knife!"
Jiang Jinhe's cold words seemed to pierce her heart like frost. Her originally gentle face was now filled with seriousness and determination. Such a threat obviously had a deterrent effect, forcing Zhang Xiuqin to give up the idea of continuing to struggle.
But the anger in her heart burned like fire. She gritted her teeth and thought, "You're not allowed to eat it, right? Then forget about eating it!"
Thinking of this, she quickly bent down, grabbed a handful of sand from the ground, and threw it towards the crowd who were enjoying the food!
Just as Zhang Xiuqin was about to continue sprinkling dirt on the shiny and fragrant roasted chicken, Jiang Jinhe kicked her to the ground with a neat move.
Then Song Mucheng stepped forward, grabbed her arm, and pushed her aside without any courtesy.
"You are looking for death!"
She cursed in her heart.
What followed was a series of fierce verbal clashes, with names like "fat pig", "fat woman", and even worse personal attacks coming out of Zhang Xiuqin's mouth one after another, while Jiang Jinhe listened attentively, occasionally a sneer appearing at the corner of his mouth, and he found it extremely funny that the woman in front of him would insult others for a bite of food.
However, the turmoil was quickly calmed down by the timely appearance of the little girl Song Chunhua. She hurried over, stuffed a rag into Zhang Xiuqin's mouth, and sternly accused her, "Don't scold my third sister-in-law, you bad woman!"
At the same time, it was added that Jiang Jinhe has now lost a lot of weight.
This little girl, who is only in her teens, really tried her best for a few eggs. She apologized and took the initiative to help cook. It was simply amazing!
As the last rays of sunset gradually disappear in the sky and night slowly falls, the roasted chicken with its tempting aroma gradually begins to show its perfect color and taste.
More and more villagers gathered around, each greedily breathing in the fragrance wafting through the air, their faces revealing endless yearning...
Seeing this scene, Jiang Jinhe felt a little warm in his heart - although they had just experienced an unpleasant quarrel, at least at this moment they could still sit together and share this rare and beautiful time.
For Song Chunhua, who has shown remorse and tried hard to make amends for her mistakes, perhaps a little tolerance and understanding is necessary; but for Zhang Xiuqin, who has refused to change despite repeated warnings and only hurts others with vicious words, a more decisive and resolute attitude is needed to truly maintain the peaceful order within the family.
Just as everyone was immersed in the laughter and joy brought by the delicious food, a man in his thirties suddenly ran into the yard, shouting: "Xiaoyue, Xiaoyue, is it really you?"
His eyes were filled with surprise, yet mixed with a few complicated emotions...
Jiang Jinhe quickly stretched his neck and looked over.
Although the man was limping and his steps were stumbling, he was still running hurriedly towards the Song family, and every step seemed to be accompanied by a slight gasp.
When the man finally ran in front of her, Jiang Jinhe realized that the lame man was actually Zhang Xiuqin's elder brother Li Cheng.
Meeting someone who knew Zhang Xiuqin in such an occasion was really beyond everyone's expectation. It was as if there was an incredible force in the dark that was guiding everything to happen.
It turned out that Li Cheng was from Shangyue Village where they lived.
According to the geographical divisions and traditional customs between villages, this place is already very far away from his village. Under normal circumstances, people should have entered the neighboring areas long ago.
This made Jiang Jinhe have many doubts in his mind: What on earth happened?
Why is Li Cheng still staying here at this time?
Seeing his little sister suffering injustice in a foreign land, the usually gentle and humble Li Chengli immediately became indignant.
He immediately called out to his family for support.
As several figures hurriedly appeared one after another, the onlookers suddenly felt a strong aura coming towards them - it turned out that it was not just Li Cheng who came to help. Behind him were several family elders and several young and strong members of the younger generation, even including Zhang Xiuqin's parents. In an instant, they surrounded the originally arrogant Song family tightly, leaving no room for leakage.
After hearing his sister tearfully recounting her experience, brother Li Cheng immediately fixed his eyes on the woman who had bullied Zhang Xiuqin - it was Jiang Jinhe standing in the crowd!
"Xiaoyue, is this the woman who bullied you?"
Zhang Xiuqin gently smoothed her hair, which had become extremely messy due to excitement, while she shouted angrily, "That's right, brother, it was her! Not only did she beat me violently, but she also verbally abused me. What's even worse is that she wouldn't share eggs and chicken with Da Hu and Xiao Long, food that should belong to children!"
Seeing that someone was supporting them, the two little boys showed smug smiles on their faces.
"Uncle, it's true that this woman did something wrong!"
Da Hu, one of the older ones, added, "She had a lot of goodies hidden in her bag—candies, eggs, and even some delicious rabbit meat. But she insisted on enjoying them all by herself and wouldn't even let us have a taste."
After hearing the children mention such a rich list of supplies, Li Ben's already angry expression became even more ferocious and terrifying.
"You mean those roast chickens and boiled eggs that smell so tempting?"
As soon as the words fell, the two naughty kids rushed to accuse Jiang Jinhe, "That's right, uncle! It really is her! This strange woman from the grassland is unwilling to share her delicious food with us!"
Faced with these accusations, Jiang Jinhe felt a surge of powerlessness in his heart.
But before she could refute or explain, she heard the other party's increasingly excited voice:
"Is this what you two good kids are talking about? It's really outrageous!"
Li Cheng, who was obviously extremely angry, had completely lost his mind at this moment.
