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

Jiang Qinyu sneered in her heart and glanced at Lu Yancai and Ma with a cold gaze.

They have always been the only two people in this family who have been eating free meals, and they still want to split up?

However, Jiang Qinyu did not step forward and waited to see how the two elders of the Lu family would solve the problem.

Old Man Lu's solution was simple and crude. After he came to his senses, he picked up a large wooden stick from the corner of the yard and hit Lu Yancai, "I'm not dead yet! I told you to propose a division! Who has the final say in this family?"

Lu Yancai was beaten so badly that he ran away with his head in his hands. Jiang Qinyu was blocking the gate of the yard again. Thinking of the fierceness of the woman's beating just now, he felt a chill on his back for no reason. He didn't dare to get close to Jiang Qinyu and could only run around in the yard.

Chen was so angry that she grabbed a brush hanging in the yard and hit Ma on the arm. "You black-hearted lazy bastard! How dare you instigate the second son to split up the family property? As long as I'm still around, don't even think about doing that!"

Ma was fat and couldn't move fast, so she was caught by Chen and hit several times. Finally, seeing that she couldn't avoid it, she could only lie on the ground and protect her face, but she didn't stop shouting and cursing.

Jiang Qinyu watched the farce in the yard coldly, turned around and locked the gate, letting them do whatever they wanted, and she took the two children to the kitchen.

After making such a fuss for a long time, she was already hungry and thirsty, and the children's lips were dry and chapped.

However, when Jiang Qinyu opened the lid of the water tank, she felt unwell.

There is only a thin layer of water at the bottom of the water tank, and it is very turbid. Not to mention what you can do with this little water, is it really drinkable?

"Aunt, are you thirsty? Here, I have some jade leaves." Jiang Shufan handed Jiang Qinyu a few jade leaves.

Jiang Qinyu felt so sad when she saw this that she wanted to cry.

Jade leaves are indeed rich in water, but some are poisonous, and the mucus in jade leaves can cause allergies in some people with sensitive skin.

Oh my God, what kind of life are they living in? They actually use jade tree leaves instead of water to quench their thirst?

As I recall, starting from half a month ago, most families in Dingshui Village have been preparing half a month's worth of dry food at one time to reduce water consumption.

Nowadays, it takes two days to draw a few buckets of water from the wells in the village. The wells are protected by the village chief and his men, and each household is given two bowls of water every three days.

In such a situation, it is absolutely impossible to drink water in big gulps.

But others don’t have it, but Jiang Qinyu does!

She had seen a lot of mineral water and drinks at the cashier counter just now. With a thought, a bottle of mineral water appeared in Jiang Qinyu's hand.

Jiang Shufan and Jiang Pan'er stared at her without blinking, both holding their breath and not daring to move.

"Don't eat this. It's not good if you get sick." Jiang Qinyu unscrewed the bottle cap and poured a bowl full of water for the two of them. "You drink first. If it's not enough, I have more."

After saying that, she drank all the remaining water from the bottle in one gulp.

She just took a quick look at the system. Currently, except for the cashier counter, all other areas are unlocked. If she wants to drink water freely, she must first unlock other areas.

But how do I unlock it? This broken system doesn't even give me any clues!

Jiang Qinyu had just thought about this when the mechanical voice rang in her mind again: [Task: Host, please collect 1,000 kilograms of grain and unlock the grain and oil area!]

[Open the task item map prompt. Important reminder: Please complete the collection task within three days. If the task fails, it will not be opened again.]

A thousand kilograms of food? And it had to be done within three days. Jiang Qinyu almost wanted to curse. The entire Dingshui Village probably had less than eight hundred kilograms of food in total. Where the hell was she going to find so much food?

Also, what are the quest item map hints?

As soon as she thought of this, a map of Dingshui Village immediately appeared in Jiang Qinyu's mind, and the location of each house was indicated by green dots of different sizes on the map.

She understood instantly. Isn't this just like in the game? With this thing, finding a thousand kilograms of food would be much easier!

As long as the grain and oil area is unlocked, she will no longer have to worry about food and drink!

But...she can't just rob the villagers, right?

It seems that she must quickly urge, oh no, persuade the villagers to follow her to get back the food that the group of people from Qinggang Mountain had stolen.

Just as he was thinking about it, he heard Lu Yancai and Ma begging for mercy from outside.

"Dad, Dad, please stop hitting me. I don't want to split up the family. I don't want to split up the family!"

"Mom, I was wrong! I won't split up the family either. Our family will never split up!"

Jiang Qinyu's eyes turned cold. Never separate? Dream on!

After watching the two children finish their water, Jiang Qinyu packed up her things and went to the yard.

"You two lazy bastards want to split up the family? Without your eldest brother, this family would not be in its current state?" Old Man Lu held his chest, obviously very angry.

Chen's eyes were red as well, and she angrily said, "Our family's current situation is all earned by our eldest brother back then! Don't even think about taking anything away with you when we divide the family!"

Thinking of her eldest son whose life or death was unknown, Chen's heart ached, and she looked at Ma with more and more disgust.

If Ma had not given birth to Lu Tianbao for the Lu family, she would have sent him back to Ma Village!

When Lu Yancai heard this, he habitually retorted: "Even if it was earned by big brother, isn't it our Lu family? What does it have to do with the Jiang family?"

Ma also plucked up the courage to whisper, "That's right. Why do parents always side with outsiders? Which family lives like this?"

"It has nothing to do with me?" Jiang Qinyu sneered at the two people on the ground. "I am the eldest daughter-in-law of the Lu family, married through formal marriage. Compared to some unmarried people who got pregnant before marriage and brought disgrace to the family, who has less to do with me?"

It was not glorious for Ma to marry into the Lu family, but the two elders of the Lu family were kind and did not treat her harshly in daily life. As time went by, she even forgot how she had become dependent on the Lu family in the first place.

Sure enough, as soon as these words were spoken, Ma and Lu Yancai's faces turned ugly and they dared not say another word.

"My dear eldest daughter-in-law, please don't be angry. This is their fault. It's also your father and I's fault for being too indulgent towards them. I apologize to you here." Chen said to Jiang Qinyu.

Old Man Lu also quickly said, "Your mother is right. We are also responsible for what happened today. Let's put it this way. The second brother and his wife apologize to you. In addition, we originally planned to give the land next to the creek at the foot of the mountain to the second brother's family, but they made a mistake. That piece of land will be given to you and the eldest brother."

Jiang Qinyu wasn't someone who couldn't tell right from wrong, so she immediately shook her head and said, "This matter has nothing to do with my parents, but I'll accept it."

That piece of land is top-quality farmland. It would be a waste to give it to Lu Yancai and his wife. It would be better for her to keep it.

Hearing this, Ma subconsciously wanted to make trouble again, but Lu Yan quickly covered her mouth with his hands, "Shut up! If you keep talking nonsense, we might lose everything!"

He was lazy, not stupid. The two old men in the family clearly favored the eldest brother. Even if they said he was dead, the two old men took good care of his wife and her family. And after what happened today, they would not get any good results if they continued to make a fuss.

Ma was unwilling, but had no choice but to glare at Jiang Qinyu hatefully.

Seeing this, Chen pointed at Ma and said angrily, "From now on, your family's food rations will be reduced by half, and Shufan and Pan'er will have extra meals!"
