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

Hu Ersao pouted, but ultimately said nothing.

This time, by using the excuse that the eldest son and his wife had instigated the youngest sister to break off the engagement, causing the whole family to be in a difficult situation, they made two people from the eldest son's family serve in the military. They really got the better of them.

Her two children complained to her several times about this, saying it was unfair of them.

Although the elderly couple eventually agreed to let Hu Xing and his son Hu Dazhou serve in the military, they still had many complaints about her.

To prevent any mistakes at the last minute, she suppressed her anger and didn't argue with Sister-in-law Hu.

The family fell silent, but after a while, Hu Erge couldn't help but say, "Why don't we go find Lu's second son too?"

Hu Chunjiao said that she and Hu Dazhou would go to the village to ask for help. But she never returned.

At first, Hu's family thought something had happened to her and searched the village several times, but they couldn't find Hu Chunjiao.

It wasn't until later, when people from the same village said they thought they saw Hu Chunjiao heading towards Hongdu, that the Hu family realized that Hu Chunjiao had secretly run away.

The Hu family also considered going to find Hu Chunjiao, but at that time the temporary house they had built collapsed, Hu's sister-in-law's leg was broken by a falling pillar, and the elderly couple in the Hu family also fell ill from the cold.

The Hu family was too busy taking care of themselves to care about Hu Chunjiao's whereabouts.

But where Hu Chunjiao went was a matter of speculation among the Hu family. They all felt that Hu Chunjiao, being a woman, had nowhere else to go, and the most likely possibility was that she went to seek refuge with the second son of the Lu family.

The elderly couple, Mr. and Mrs. Hu, had always wanted to visit Shuanghe Village, but they had been having a really tough time at home lately and hadn't been able to find the time.

Hearing Hu Erge mention it, the elderly couple were very interested. Especially since their eldest son and grandson were both going to serve in the military, they were extremely worried.

Hu Erge added, "If Chun Jiao is really in the Lu family, whether she's a concubine or something, we'll still have a connection with the Lu family. Lu Dalang knows kung fu, so if we meet him on the battlefield, we can ask him to take care of my elder brother and nephew."

Now the elderly couple didn't hesitate any longer and said, "We'll go first thing tomorrow morning."

Hu Dazhou opened his mouth, wanting to persuade his grandparents not to go to the Lu family.

But thinking about what had happened these past few days, he knew they wouldn't listen even if he said anything. He felt a little disheartened and eventually gave up trying to talk to them.

The next morning, after sending Hu Xing and Hu Dazhou off to serve in the army, the elderly couple, leaning on their canes, set off towards Hongdu.

Hu Erge and his wife, claiming they were worried about the elderly couple and wanted to take them with them, set off together.

Since the group had no vehicles or horses, they had to walk and had to stop several times along the way to ask for directions.

Sometimes when I'm too tired to walk anymore, I stop and rest.

And so, the group finally arrived at Shuanghe Village the next morning.

Seeing the state of Shuanghe Village, the group felt a pang of sadness.

They didn't even need to visit the villagers' homes to know that the villagers of Shuanghe Village were far wealthier than those of their Weisha Village.

If they had settled in Shuanghe Village back then, they certainly wouldn't be living like this now!

A deep sense of regret welled up in the hearts of the Hu family once again.

Hu Erge gritted his teeth and made up his mind that he would definitely repair his relationship with the Lu family this time.

He asked the villagers for directions to the Lu family's residence.

The person he was looking for was Wu Xialian.

Hearing that they were looking for Lu Yinheng's family, Wu Xialian's eyes darted around, sizing up the Hu family members. "What are you to the Lu family? Are you relatives?"

Hu Erge nodded hurriedly and replied, "Yes, relatives."

Wu Xialian pouted, "What relatives? The Lu family is so rich, didn't they help you? How did you end up like this?"

The elderly couple from the Hu family, along with Hu Erge and his wife, all widened their eyes in surprise and exclaimed, "The Lu family is very rich?"

"How could you not have money? You built such a nice house in the village and even helped the villagers do business. You even bought a horse-drawn carriage, and you still don't have money?"

Wu Xialian was unaware that Ji Yunshuang had also bought a shop in the city and was doing business there. She only saw that the Lu family had built a new house, bought a carriage, and was doing business with Gao Lan and others.

But even so, it was enough to make her jealous.

She had been taught a lesson by Lu Yinheng and his wife last time, which left her bedridden for more than half a month before she could get out of bed. She absolutely hated the Lu family.

But Lu Yinheng and his wife were too fierce, so she didn't dare to cause any more trouble for the Lu family and could only harbor resentment towards them in her heart.

Seeing that the Hu family members were so thin they were just skin and bones, and dressed in rags, it was obvious they had come to beg for money from the Lu family. So the Hu family immediately began to praise the Lu family's good life, hoping that the Hu family members could cause them some trouble.

The Hu family was already regretting their actions, but after hearing Wu Xialian's words, they regretted it even more. They hurriedly asked Wu Xialian to lead the way for them.

Wu Xialian's legs still trembled at the thought of Lu Yinheng and his wife, so she dared not go to the Lu family. After giving directions to the group, she said she still had work to do and quickly ran away.

Following the directions given by Wu Xialian, the Hu family quickly arrived at the gate of the Lu family's courtyard.

When they arrived, Ji Yunshuang was just about to leave.

After Lu Yinheng went to serve in the military, Lu Yuzhu was always depressed. Seeing that her daughter was unhappy, she thought of taking her out for a walk in the street.

Anyway, it's almost Chinese New Year, so it's time to go shopping for New Year's goods.

When Lu Yuzhu went out, Lu Yanqi naturally went with her. Both children wanted to go, and Little Tiger, not wanting to be left behind, tried to squeeze into the carriage.

The Hu family looked at the brand-new courtyard, the tall horse in the courtyard, and the figures of Lu Yanqi and Lu Yuzhu...

The group rubbed their eyes several times, still finding it hard to believe.

They hadn't seen each other for so long, yet the two children had grown so beautiful. They showed no signs of having survived a disaster.

And this brand-new carriage—the Lu family is truly living a very good life!

Brother Hu and Sister-in-law Hu's eyes lit up as they racked their brains, trying to figure out how to stay. If they couldn't stay, they would at least borrow money and grain from the Lu family. They were living such a good life; what was wrong with helping them?

Both of them were very emotional, and Tianrui was particularly sensitive to people's good and evil.

Its ears twitched, and it jumped off the carriage, lunging at the two of them.

The two were suddenly pounced on by the tiger cub and rolled around on the ground trying to escape. In no time, their clothes were torn to shreds, and they cried out, "Ah! Help!"

The elderly couple from the Hu family also said, "In-laws, quickly stop your beast."

Ji Yunshuang spoke up, calling back the little tiger, and coldly looked at the group, saying, "What are you doing here?"

Gu Chunzhi also rushed over upon hearing the commotion.

Looking at the group, she frowned and said unhappily, "Our two families broke off ties a long time ago, so don't call us in-laws anymore."

Hu Erge said, "I know that breaking off the engagement made your family unhappy. But since my sister has entered your family... you should give us an explanation. You can't bully people without a clear explanation."
