Niu Dahua was surprised that Ji Yunshuang would actually agree to take her to find wild potatoes, and quickly thanked her, "I'll go get them right away, Dalang's wife, thank you so much, we will definitely repay you when we have the chance."

Ji Yunshuang said, "We're all neighbors, it's just a small favor, Auntie, don't worry about it. Let's grab our tools and go check out the hill while it's still early."

When the families nearby saw that Ji Yunshuang was willing to take Niu Dahua to find wild potatoes, they quickly gathered around and tried to persuade her to take them along as well.

Sun Meixiang couldn't stand seeing Ji Yunshuang being fawned over, so she said sarcastically, "What kind of skill is it to treat wild things from the mountain as a favor? If you're really kind, take out the grain from your house and share it with everyone so we can get through this difficult time together!"

Liu was furious, but upon hearing Sun Meixiang's words, she immediately said, "That's right, it's just a wild thing from the mountain. Do you think we can't find it without it?"

If you truly care about everyone, then share the game you hunt in the mountains with us!

Upon hearing this, the Sun family members immediately looked at Ji Yunshuang with burning eyes.

Besides the Sun family, the Hu family also all looked at Ji Yunshuang, as if wanting to see how she would answer.

However, unlike the naked greed in the eyes of the Sun family, the Hu family's gaze was more complex.

Hu Chunjiao, the youngest daughter of the Hu family, is engaged to Lu Wuzheng. In a sense, the Lu family is related to them by marriage. If the Lu family is not doing well, it won't benefit their family much.

It's just that Lu Dalang is capable, and Ji Yunshuang, that fool, is lucky.

These days, the Lu family has been hunting and gathering rice, so they're eating better than they did in the village.

The Lu family did not give them any special treatment because of their marriage ties, which made them somewhat resentful.

Although they didn't say it aloud, the Hu family members were jealous and dissatisfied.

At this moment, the Hu family felt a mixture of joy, worry, and a faint sense of anticipation.

Hopefully, Ji Yunshuang, who isn't very bright, will be provoked by Sun Meixiang and Liu Shi and actually get carried away, agreeing to bring out the food in the house for everyone to share.

Ji Yunshuang coldly observed everyone's reaction, about to open her mouth to mock their shamelessness, but Niu Dahua spoke first, shouting, "Are you even speaking human language? What do you mean 'just wild things'? Do you even know what wild potatoes are? If you're so capable, why don't you lead everyone to find them!"

Aunt Zhou looked at Sun Meixiang and Liu with disdain, "It's easy for you to talk when you're not the ones suffering, bringing out the game you hunted to divide up. Why don't you bring out your own things to divide up?"

After saying that, she spat at Sun Meixiang, "The man just died and she's already jumping around trying to seduce people everywhere. When she can't seduce them, she makes trouble for other people's wives. She's shameless!"

Niu Dahua also loudly cursed Sun's father and mother, saying, "Old man Sun and old woman Gui, is this how you raise your daughter? Aren't you ashamed? Don't you think about your children and grandchildren? Do you think that just because everyone has fled Yunshui Village, no one will know your family's background?"

The faces of the Sun family members immediately turned as black as soot.

Gui was humiliated by Niu Dahua's insults and ran over to grab Sun Meixiang by the ear, pulling her aside and saying, "You brat, do you even have a brain?"

Old Sun also came to his senses and realized that they had made a mistake. He scolded his daughter, "Why are you always so talkative? If you didn't speak, no one would think you were mute."

Sun Meixiang was dragged away by the Sun family. Liu Bingchun and others did not come out to speak up for Liu. Liu was helpless and soon went to hide to the side in resentment.

Ji Yunshuang thanked the people who spoke up for her and invited them to go into the mountains to find local products.

Ji Yunshuang didn't call the Hu family, but since they followed, she didn't say anything.

But the Sun family's wives and Lu Bingchun's family also wanted to shamelessly follow, but she didn't give them any face at all.

Even without Sun Meixiang, who was a bad apple, she wouldn't have given the Sun family any benefit based on the greedy looks they had just given her.

As for Lu Bingchun's family, the two families already had a feud, and they had been causing her trouble all along, so there was absolutely no possibility of them making up.

In the end, Ji Yunshuang only took the Zhou family, the Mu family, and the Hu family to search for mountain products.

As usual, Lu Bingchun's family cursed Ji Yunshuang in their hearts.

The Sun family, on the other hand, began to bitterly complain about Sun Meixiang.

After Sun Meixiang's husband, Zhang Daniu, died, she packed her things and went to live with her parents' family.

In order to please her family, she gave all the money she had secretly saved to her parents.

She secretly revealed to her family that she wanted to remarry and that she was interested in Lu Yinheng.

The Sun family had previously supported her.

The Sun family's sisters-in-law even gave her advice, joining her in cursing Ji Yunshuang as a vixen, saying that this kind of city girl is lazy and good-for-nothing, and can't be tamed; she'll run off with someone sooner or later.

But at this moment, the Sun family discovered that Ji Yunshuang not only didn't run away, but also seemed to have become more capable, and the Lu family members all listened to her.

Sun Meixiang not only failed to seduce Lu Yinheng, but also offended Ji Yunshuang, causing them to suffer as a result and become unpopular.

The Sun family's sisters-in-law were furious. They scolded Sun Meixiang for being stupid, asking why she had jumped out and openly opposed Ji Yunshuang. They called her brainless, a troublemaker, and told her to go back to the Zhang family.

In an effort to please her family, Sun Meixiang gave them all her personal savings, which offended her mother-in-law and brother-in-law. How could she possibly go back to the Zhang family? She immediately started arguing with her sisters-in-law.

After the argument, Sun Meixiang harbored even more resentment towards Ji Yunshuang.

I feel that today's misfortune is all because of her, it's all her fault.

If it weren't for her scheming against Brother Lu back then, forcing him into marriage...

She and Brother Lu were childhood sweethearts, so Brother Lu should definitely marry her.

If it weren't for that, she wouldn't have later married that good-for-nothing Zhang Daniu and suffered the hardships of being a widow.

If she hadn't deliberately stirred things up, she wouldn't have fallen out with her family.

Why doesn't she die?

As she continued chanting, a sudden thought flashed through Sun Meixiang's mind: what if someone died...?

She pressed her wildly beating heart and suddenly made a decision.

On the other hand, Niu Dahua became increasingly worried.

She took Ji Yunshuang's hand and said, "Darling's wife, that Sun woman has wicked intentions, and none of the Sun family's sisters-in-law are easy to get along with. The Lu family is even worse."

But if you separate them like this... I'm afraid they might sabotage us from behind. We're fleeing together, and it's inevitable that we'll make mistakes. What if they stab us in the back?

Ji Yunshuang naturally knew that by doing everything outside of them, she would make them resentful and cause them to retaliate.

But she was not afraid.

In the apocalypse, what kind of people hadn't she seen?

Moreover, she understands human nature best.

Some people are born bad, born greedy.

He won't be grateful to you just because you're nice to him.

For this kind of person, her kindness will only be seen as weakness and being easily bullied, which will only make her go further.

She wouldn't encourage these people's malice.

She smiled and said, "Don't worry, Auntie. I have my own plans. No matter what they try to do, it won't work on me."

Seeing her confident demeanor and considering the changes in her over the past few days, Niu Dahua felt a little more at ease and said repeatedly, "That's good, that's good. I was just worried that you would suffer losses, so I talked a lot. I hope you don't find your aunt annoying."

The way she spoke reminded Ji Yunshuang of her deceased grandmother, and a warmth rose in her heart. She smiled and said, "I know you care about me, how could I find you annoying?"

That day, of course, no one dug up any sweet potatoes.

Because the sweet potatoes that Ji Yunshuang buried in the space had just sprouted, and these seedlings were only just beginning to grow, how could they be used to fake the discovery of wild sweet potatoes by everyone?

The sweet potatoes in her warehouse, without vines or leaves, were not suitable for use as fakes.

When they saw Niu Dahua and the others return with only ordinary mountain products in their hands, the Sun family and Lu Bingchun's family secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Mrs. Ma pursed her lips, wanting to say something sarcastic, but then remembered her husband's instructions and quickly shut her mouth.

She suppressed her anger and stepped forward with a fawning smile, saying, "Cousin-in-law, do you need to peel these chestnuts? Let me help you."

She used to be sharp-tongued and sarcastic, and now even if she tries to please others, no one believes her.

Before she even touched the chestnuts, the Gu family and the Lu brothers refused her repeatedly and sent her away.

Mr. Ma was somewhat troubled.

Given how much the Lu family rejects her, how could she possibly mix poisonous herbs into their food?
