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

God knows, she looked down on the villagers the most.

When she married Lai Yiu Chung, wasn't it because she was attracted to his family background?

But now, the Li family has also settled in the countryside, farming and becoming farmers.

So why did she grovel and tolerate Lai Yiu-fai's philandering and sleeping with his maid in front of her?

Ji Wanying was unhappy, and so was Li Yanxiu.

She raised an eyebrow and said, "Sister-in-law, you don't know the government's policy, do you? The government clearly stipulates that all refugees who flee here can only register their household registration in the village."

Our Li family was able to settle in Shuanghe Village only because my parents spent money and pulled some strings!

They said that their village originally couldn't accommodate everyone, but they reluctantly put us in that village out of consideration for my parents.

As she spoke, she pursed her lips, "You do nothing and just enjoy what's readily available. I don't know what you're dissatisfied with."

Ji Wanying said, "Even if we register our household in the countryside, there's no need to actually live there! We can register our household in the countryside, buy a house in the city, and do business there, isn't that enough?"

Li Yanxiu deliberately raised her voice, full of surprise, and said, "Sister-in-law, you don't know what the situation is like now, do you?"

Now that the Northern Qi has invaded, who knows what will happen to Jiangzhou in the future? What are you planning to do by having us buy shops in the city?"

Li Yaozong also said, "Our Li family lost a lot of shops during this escape, and those were all bought with real money!"

Moreover, the prices of shops in Hongdu are currently inflated, and the situation is unclear. I think my sister is right; now is not a good time to buy a shop.

"Yingniang, you've been married into our family for so many years. You should learn more from our parents and sister, instead of just being jealous and petty."

“That’s right, what man doesn’t have three wives and four concubines?” Li Yanxiu said, “Sister-in-law, you’ve made such a scene outside over such a small matter, you’ve completely disgraced the Li family.”

Ji Wanying sneered and said, "I'll remember those words. I hope you'll still remember what you said today after you get married."

Li Yanxiu tugged at her older brother's sleeve and said aggrievedly, "Brother, look at sister-in-law, she's cursing me..."

Impatient with their bickering, Li Yaozong interrupted them, saying, "Alright, stop talking. The carriage ahead seems to have stopped; it must have reached the village."

Upon hearing that they had arrived at Shuanghe Village, Ji Wanying was too lazy to argue with Li Yanxiu anymore. She lifted the carriage curtain to look outside, and the expression on her face instantly fell upon seeing what was there.

The moment the Li family arrived at the village entrance, the villagers of Shuanghe Village also looked at them with curiosity.

"Are relatives visiting? This is quite a grand affair."

"Who has such impressive relatives? I've lived in this village for so long, but I've never heard of such a thing."

"That's right, look at all these carriages, so many of them. They must be from a wealthy family."

"With so many horse-drawn carriages, could it be that more refugees are coming to settle in the village?"

……

The villagers were talking amongst themselves, each offering their own guesses.

Those families who had benefited from Gao Lan's guidance that day all crowded around to talk to the Li family.

When Ji Wanying saw the villagers crowding around her, she showed a look of disgust.

Zhao subtly stepped in front of her, smiling and greeting the villagers, "Fellow villagers, is this Shuanghe Village? We are refugees who have come here for resettlement. Could you please show us the way?"

Upon seeing Zhao's kind smile, villagers immediately went to help guide them.

Ji Wanying pouted, finding her mother-in-law hypocritical. She clearly disliked these villagers just like she did, yet she pretended to be very friendly.

That's why she would lower herself to pay attention to these lowly villagers!

Just then, Ji Wanying overheard a villager whispering among himself, comparing her to the refugees who had been resettled in the village earlier.

They not only compared her to others, but also said that although she looked rich, she wasn't as pretty as that other woman's daughter-in-law.

The thing Ji Wanying couldn't tolerate most in her life was someone saying she wasn't good-looking. She immediately pointed angrily at the villager and said, "What did you say?"

The one gossiping was an old bachelor in the village, over thirty years old, who still hadn't found a wife.

He would always chatter away with the village widows whenever he saw them. But seeing Ji Wanying's flushed face and her glaring at him, he suddenly felt a surge of energy.

He said, "You're not as pretty as that Lu family's daughter-in-law to begin with, and you won't let people say that?"

The villagers nearby listened to his words and, thinking about the new Lu family daughter-in-law, all showed expressions of agreement.

Upon seeing this, Ji Wanying's heart twisted even more violently.

She wanted to see just how beautiful that so-called daughter-in-law of the Lu family really was.

Once settled, he inquired about the Lu family's address, hoping to meet the Lu family's daughter-in-law.

Li Yaozong wasn't particularly interested in the Lu family's daughter-in-law.

These past two days, all he could think about was the image of his wife's stepsister.

Whenever he thought of his wife's stepsister, he felt all the blood rush to one spot, and he felt a terrible discomfort in that spot.

Watching Ji Wanying's retreating figure, a strange rage rose within him, and he quickly caught up with her.

The two walked into a grove of trees, and he suddenly pulled Ji Wanying into the woods and grabbed her clothes.

The two had been married for nearly three years. When they first got married, Li Yaozong would pester Ji Wanying all night long.

But in the past two years, Lai Yiu-chung has clearly lost interest in her and often goes ten days or half a month without touching her.

Ji Wanying felt bitter inside, but she couldn't say it out loud.

Holding Li Yaozong in his arms and having her clothes torn off in a few quick movements, she felt both ashamed and happy.

She said in a sweet voice, "Yaozong, not here..."

Li Yaozong's actions didn't stop; instead, they became even more urgent. Ji Wanying was initially nervous and wanted to refuse firmly. But after being secluded for so long, she unconsciously became captivated by Li Yaozong's actions.

Li Yaozong imagined the other face he was pressing against the tree trunk, and unconsciously asked, "What's your stepsister's name?"

Ji Wanying was in high spirits when she couldn't help but hug Li Yaozong tightly. Unexpectedly, Li Yaozong suddenly asked her about the person she hated most in her life.

She suddenly opened her eyes, glaring angrily at Li Yaozong, and said, "What are you saying?"

Li Yaozong's forehead was covered in sweat. He coaxed him gently, "Tell me, what's her name? Tell me about her usual life."

Ji Wanying swayed, her eyes blazing with fury. "Li Yaozong, what are you thinking? Tell me honestly, are you thinking about that bitch?"

Li Yaozong, panting heavily, said, "What does it matter who I think about? I'm still stuck here with you, aren't I? Tell me quickly, was that man next to your stepsister the man she married? Who picked him for her?"

Ji Wanying felt as if she were in a frozen wasteland, her whole body was cold, her heart felt like it was being burned by fire, and her stomach felt like it had swallowed a dozen flies.

She tried to push the man in front of her, but couldn't budge him. Suddenly, she vomited.
