My reborn husband and son are thinking about how to kill me every day.

When Ji Yunshuang entered the space today, she picked out a few cold medicines suitable for children, repackaged them, and put them in her pocket.

We missed the chance to take out these medicinal powders yesterday, and it would seem too strange to take them out now, so it would be best to put them into the decoction of Dendrobium officinale without anyone noticing.

She decided to put aside making porridge and get the medicine for the child first.

Ji Yunshuang said to Gu Chunzhi, "Mother, Yanqi has a fever again. I'll heat up the medicine and feed it to him again. Take the cauldron and fill it with water, and stew the chicken! We'll make porridge with the chicken broth later."

Gu Chunzhi felt that her eldest daughter-in-law had really changed after her eldest son was injured. Not only was she capable, able to bring back game after a single trip, but she was also efficient in handling matters.

She nodded with satisfaction and said, "Okay, I'll go right away."

As she spoke, she went to open the cloth bag that Ji Yunshuang had brought back.

I was stunned the moment I opened the bag.

She almost couldn't control the sound she was making, exclaiming, "This rice is so white! This must be the kind of japonica rice that only wealthy families can afford! This... eldest daughter-in-law, you're so lucky!"

Upon hearing his mother's words, Lu Yinheng glanced at the rice in the bag, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes.

This is not the kind of japonica rice that ordinary wealthy families can afford.

This rice is crystal clear and plump, almost identical to the tribute rice from the palace.

Thinking back to the rumors that the Huang family had risen to become imperial merchants by offering tributes in his previous life, he frowned slightly.

Could it be that the Huang family had already started growing tribute rice at this time?

She got this rice from Master Huang yesterday.

He felt that the reason he didn't take it back yesterday but only took it back today was easier to explain.

He must have been worried about arousing suspicion, so he didn't dare to take it back yesterday and deliberately hid it somewhere. Today he found an excuse to take it back.

Ji Yunshuang was unaware that even the rice eaten by wealthy families in that era was very finely broken. Unlike modern rice, which is processed with various polishing techniques and has a very glossy appearance, this rice was not as finely broken.

The original owner's mother died not long after his birth, and his father later remarried.

The original owner's family was actually quite well-off, but her stepmother often complained that life was hard and therefore treated her poorly. After testing her several times, she discovered that the original owner's father didn't like her much either, so she simply stopped giving her fine food.

Later, the original owner of this body married Lu Yinheng.

When Lu Yinheng got married, although the family's financial situation had improved, Gu Chunzhi had been widowed for a long time and had to raise four children. When Lu's father died, Lu Yinheng was only thirteen years old.

To support her family and raise her children, Gu Chunzhi sold off her land multiple times.

The Lu family owned little land and had to pay taxes, making life extremely difficult for them.

Later, Lu Yinheng grew up a bit and started hunting to supplement the family income, and the Lu family's life gradually improved.

But Gu Chunzhi was terrified of poverty, and even as her children grew up and the family's life gradually improved, she dared not spend money recklessly.

She wouldn't let her family go hungry, but they mainly ate whole grains. Even during holidays when they ate refined grains, it was still brown rice.

However, for ordinary people in the countryside during that era, being able to feed the whole family meant they were considered to be living a relatively good life.

In reality, many families in the village often faced food shortages during the lean season, barely managing to survive until the new harvest by mixing wild vegetables with coarse grains. In years of famine, many also starved to death.

Because the original owner had never seen the rice eaten by wealthy families and had no deep impression of rice, Ji Yunshuang didn't think too much about it.

So I just took a bag of rice out of my spatial storage.

She had no idea that Lu Yinheng had thought so much about this bag of rice.

She poured the decoction of Dendrobium officinale into a bowl, intending to heat it by the fire, but then realized that since the bowl had no lid, it would get covered in ash if she put it in the fire.

In the apocalypse, there were no conditions, and she would even eat mutated beasts raw, but now that the environment has changed, she wants to return to being a civilized person.

She said to Lu Yinheng, "Lend me your knife for a moment, I'll go cut some bamboo from the side and make a few cups."

"I'll go!" Lu Yinheng stood up and was about to leave when Ji Yunshuang snatched the broadsword from his hand and said, "Alright, don't bother. I can handle this little thing. You should stay here and recover from your injuries!"

After saying that, she picked up her knife and left the cave.

There was a large bamboo grove next to the cave. Ji Yunshuang picked a thick, straight bamboo and cut it down in a few strokes.

However, after she cut it down, she didn't immediately return to the cave. She had inadvertently discovered many bamboo fungus in the bamboo forest.

This stuff is excellent for stewing, braising, and making soup.

Ji Yunshuang immediately squatted down happily and started picking.

Bamboo fungus is delicate and must be harvested with extra care, otherwise its integrity can be easily damaged.

To save time and to preserve the bamboo fungus's appearance, she ultimately used her telekinesis to harvest all the bamboo fungus from the bamboo forest and store it in her spatial dimension.

While using her telekinesis to harvest bamboo fungus from the space, she also multitasked by cutting the bamboo into shorter pieces and making several bamboo cups.

She didn't throw away the remaining bamboo tubes, but instead cut grooves in them, planning to use them to make bamboo rice that evening.

Returning to the cave with a large pile of bamboo, Ji Yunshuang returned the knife to Lu Yinheng and then went to the fire to busy herself.

Lu Yinheng was still in a daze.

He believed that even if he was injured, no one could easily take his weapon away from him.

But just now, she easily snatched the broadsword from his hand.

Is it because her skills are now extraordinary, or is it because I'm still...soft-hearted towards her? Or perhaps I still harbor expectations?

He wouldn't allow either of them.

He will not give her a second chance to hurt his family.

No matter how well she disguises herself now, she can't change her vicious, foolish, and greedy nature.

When Ji Yunshuang discovered that she didn't have enough firewood and went to the woods to collect dry firewood again, he silently followed her.

Having lived in the apocalypse for ten years, Ji Yunshuang possessed an extraordinary sensitivity to danger. This sensitivity had saved her life multiple times during the apocalypse.

When she sensed someone behind her, and their aura was off, she subtly moved her mind, and a small scalpel appeared in her hand.

She gripped the scalpel tightly, turned around abruptly, and just as she was about to sever the other person's carotid artery, she unexpectedly met Lu Yinheng's deep, cold, and unfathomable eyes, like a bottomless pool.

At the same time, the large knife in Lu Yinheng's hand flew out.
