I will lead the whole village to occupy the land and become the king.

That night, most families in the village had a good meal, and the Lu family was no exception.

Chen and Jiang Qinyu made a pot of noodles together and added a small ball of pickles to the pot. Jiang Qinyu took out a bag of chicken essence from the discount area at the cash register while Chen was not paying attention and sprinkled some into the pot.

Perhaps because of the added flavor of the chicken essence, everyone in the Lu family was very satisfied with the noodles tonight and they frequently praised Chen's improved cooking skills.

Chen, however, turned to Ma and Lu Yancai with a stern face and said, "You two should stop looking. There's nothing left in the pot."

"How come it's gone? I clearly saw you make such a big pot!" Lu Yancai said dissatisfiedly.

The three of them only had half a bowl of noodles tonight, and he thought there was more in the pot!

Chen said with a cold face, "Do you think your father and I were lying when we said we would cut your family's food rations in half?"

"But mother, Tianbao is at the stage of growing up now. If you treat him badly like this, what will you do if he doesn't grow taller in the future?" Ma's eyes rolled, and she immediately started with Lu Tianbao, trying to get an extra half bowl of noodles for him.

Anyway, what belongs to her son is hers, and if he asks for another half bowl, she can get two bites.

At this time, Old Man Lu spoke up, "As long as you two don't cause any trouble and behave well in the future, he won't suffer any loss."

He dared to ask Lu Tianbao to reduce his food intake as well because Lu Tianbao had a good physical condition and eating less for half a month or a month would not cause any harm to his health.

Lu Tianbao was used to eating the best and most of the food in the house, but today he was suddenly asked to reduce the amount and he simply refused.

But children's thoughts are the most direct. In this family, his parents and grandparents will definitely not treat him harshly, so the ones who make him hungry are naturally Jiang Qinyu and her aunt and nephew.

When Lu Tianbao heard that he could only eat this much tonight, he immediately climbed onto the table to grab Pan'er's bowl!

"What are you doing?" Jiang Qinyu held his hand and looked at Lu Tianbao with a cold face.

"They eat my family's food, why can't they eat me? They should be grateful to our family for having something to eat. Why should they eat more than me?" Lu Tianbao glared at Jiang Qinyu righteously.

Before Jiang Qinyu could say anything, Old Man Lu slammed the table in anger and dragged Lu Tianbao down. "Lu Tianbao, what do you want to do? You ignored everything your grandfather said, didn't you? Get off here right now!"

What does a six-year-old child know? These words that Lu Tianbao said were definitely what Lu Yancai and Ma had whispered in his ears before. When Old Man Lu thought of this, he was furious. He stood up directly, picked up the long bench under him and threw it at Lu Yancai.

"I told you not to teach the kids the wrong way! I'll beat you to death!"

Lu Yancai had developed a conditioned reflex from being beaten these past two days. He rolled on the ground before the stool hit him, narrowly avoiding a bloody head.

"No, Dad, what's wrong with me? Is there anything wrong with what Tianbao said? I didn't teach him that! Even the child knows it. How can Tianbao be convinced if you and mom treat a few outsiders like this?" Lu Yan rolled a few times, ran to the door, and yelled at Old Man Lu bravely.

It wasn't that he wasn't afraid of being beaten, but he felt incredibly aggrieved. Tonight they were eating thin noodles! They rarely got to eat this once a year, so why should they give so much to outsiders?

"Outsider, outsider, who is the outsider in this room? What I said is no longer effective, right?" Old man Lu was so angry that he was shaking all over.

If the eldest son was still at home, he would definitely split the family immediately! He was really angry just looking at the second son and his wife.

Chen grabbed Lu Tianbao with one hand and slapped Ma with the other. "You two have corrupted the child. If I hear you say Shufan and Pan'er are outsiders again, get out of this house!"

As long as the eldest brother was still alive, she would never oppose the division of the family. The second brother's family should be separated. Only when they suffer themselves will they know the benefits of following them and the eldest brother.

Jiang Qinyu watched the whole thing coldly, not being affected at all. She even urged Shufan and Paner to finish all the remaining noodles in their bowls.

She didn't want to live with Lu Yangcai and his wife, and now was not the time to separate.

It’s not that she can’t afford to raise two children, but everything in this family, from the house to the furniture, and the entire family fortune, was earned by her original body’s cheap husband Lu Yanzheng.

Since she has taken over someone else's body, she naturally enjoys all the rights and interests that the original body should have.

Now that the family is dividing up, the Lu family can either give her two rooms or give her some money so that she can take her children out and build a thatched house.

She must be stupid to refuse to live in a big brick and tile house and run to live in a thatched house.

Therefore, the family must be divided, but it must be divided according to her wishes.

When she becomes more important in the family, even if Lu Yan is the biological son of the old couple of the Lu family, they dare not deduct anything when dividing the family property.

Moreover, the attitude of the two elders of the Lu family towards her made it impossible for her to bear watching them being angered to death by Lu Yancai and his wife.

Everything will have to wait until she has more say in the Lu family, or even in Dingshui Village.

After the two elders of the Lu family had a fierce tantrum, Chen pulled Lu Tianbao back to the house to teach him a lesson, and ordered Ma to clean up the table and the kitchen.

Jiang Qinyu wanted to take the two children back to the house, but Shufan leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Aunt, we have to watch the water tank and prevent Aunt Lu from drinking water secretly."

Jiang Qinyu almost laughed out loud, and whispered to him, "There's only the bottom of the water tank left, no need to stare at it anymore."

Just now, Chen brought her out three days' worth of dry food. The water in the water tank was only enough for each person in their family to drink half a bowl every day for the next three days.

Anyway, they, the aunt and niece, will never be short of water. If Ma wastes all the remaining water, Chen will take care of her.

Ma looked at the three aunts and nieces who were whispering to each other, and she hated them so much that her teeth were about to break, but she dared not say anything anymore, let alone take action.

These two old fools are truly inhuman! How can they withhold food from their own sons and grandsons, yet be generous to outsiders?

But no matter how much she hated him, it was useless. Chen hid the food very well. Their room was locked with two big locks. Even if she wanted to steal some food, she couldn't do it.

That night, Jiang Qinyu coaxed the two children to sleep, but she herself tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep.

It was not until this time that she had time to think carefully about her current situation and what she should do in the future.

Dai Viet was located in the northwest of the entire continent. Yongshan County, where Dingshui Village was located, was located in Yukang Prefecture, northwest of Dai Viet. Due to climatic reasons, the supplies in Yukang Prefecture were not very abundant.

After three years of drought, the entire Yukang Prefecture began to become destitute. But strangely, the court did nothing this time, and no news came down from above. Under the pressure of survival, the people began to go to various places to seek refuge with relatives or escape famine.

Jiang Qinyu would never flee from famine, but in troubled times, human lives are worthless, and she cannot live alone. Joining the people of Dingshui Village has become her only choice.

However, due to the drought, it seems that there will be no production from the fields this year, and food and water have become the biggest problems at the moment.

Jiang Qinyu opened the system in her mind, looked at the flashing green dots on the map provided by the system, and sighed secretly.

Don’t think too much about it, just fix the bug and find more food and water for everyone first!

Early the next morning, Jiang Qinyu handed the two children to Chen and went to the village chief's house.
