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

Ji Yunshuang had no idea that her simple act of making sauce had incurred the hatred of both of them.

After she finished cooking the mushroom and chicken sauce, she added water to the remaining chicken bones and other scraps and put them into a pot to stew.

She planned to use the scraps to make chicken porridge.

After we finish eating, we'll prepare the dry rations for the journey.

She still had a lot of rice left that day, and she planned to make some into rice balls and the rest into frozen rice candy.

Making frozen rice candy requires not only roasting the rice but also boiling the sugar, which is a bit of a hassle.

However, Ji Yunshuang thought of the frozen rice candy that her grandparents used to make every year during the Lunar New Year, and she felt both nostalgic and craving it.

If you want to enjoy delicious food, don't be afraid of going through the trouble.

After the meal, Ji Yunshuang led everyone to get busy.

The rice balls were simple; she took out some rice, cooked it, and shaped it into rice balls with wild vegetables.

Then use the remaining rice to make fried rice.

Since the cauldron was not suitable for making fried rice, she thought that the Zhou family's iron pot had not been lost, so she went to the Zhou family to borrow an iron pot.

She had brought food to the Zhou family more than once, and today she even led them to identify wild potatoes, so the Zhou family naturally had nothing they were unwilling to lend.

Just then, the Zhou family's dry rations were ready, and the large pot was empty. Seeing that Ji Yunshuang was borrowing the pot to make dry rations, Aunt Zhou even took her youngest son to help gather firewood.

After thanking Aunt Zhou, Ji Yunshuang put the rice in the pot and quickly stir-fried it with a spatula.

As the temperature of the iron wok rose, the fried rice inside began to crackle and pop.

At the same time, a rich aroma of rice filled the air.

Everyone couldn't help but take a deep breath.

Lu Zilin had just eaten three bowls of porridge and was so full he was burping. But now, smelling the aroma in the air, he felt hungry again.

He helped add firewood to the makeshift stove, swallowed hard, and asked, "Sister-in-law, what are you preparing to cook?"

When he asked the question, everyone in the Lu family subconsciously held their breath, wanting to hear what Ji Yunshuang had to say.

Lu Yuzhu rested her head on her hand, her eyes sparkling as she stared at her mother.

Looking at her daughter's adorable appearance, Ji Yunshuang couldn't help but smile. "Make frozen rice candy."

Upon hearing that they were going to make candy, the little girl couldn't sit still any longer and jumped up. "Mommy, what is frozen rice candy? Is it candy? Are we going to make candy to eat?"

Lu Zilin couldn't believe it. "This...it's clearly rice, how can it be made into sugar?"

Not only did Lu Zilin not believe it, but the rest of the Lu family and several other villagers also clearly didn't believe it, thinking that Ji Yunshuang definitely wouldn't be making candy.

Ji Yunshuang glanced at everyone's expressions and said unhurriedly, "No rush, help me fetch some water first."

In this era, everyone uses wooden buckets.

The wooden barrel was heavy, but not particularly valuable. When fleeing, the Lu family naturally abandoned the barrel and took more valuable items instead.

Lu Zilin looked around but couldn't find anything suitable. Lu Yinheng had already stood up, picked up the cauldron, and said, "I'll go!"

"Brother, your injury hasn't healed yet, be careful not to reopen it. Let me do it!" Lu Zilin snatched the cauldron and ran while saying, "Brother, you cut the wild potatoes, we haven't finished cutting them yet!"

Today, while teaching everyone about sweet potatoes, Ji Yunshuang took out quite a few sweet potatoes from her spatial storage.

She had already arranged for Lu Yinheng and his brothers to cut sweet potatoes.

Lu Zilin wanted to help cut it earlier, but unfortunately, there weren't enough knives at home.

In the end, only Lu Yinheng and Lu Wuzheng were there cutting things out.

Because of the harsh conditions in the wild, it was not easy to operate, and because there were so many sweet potatoes, some still hadn't been cut yet.

Seeing his younger brother leave with the cauldron, Lu Yinheng went back to continue cutting sweet potatoes.

Soon, Lu Zilin returned carrying a cauldron of water.

By this time, Ji Yunshuang had finished frying the rice.

She simply washed a pot, then poured the chopped sweet potatoes into it and added water to boil.

Lu Yuzhu stood on tiptoe, looking at the large iron pot, and asked with a question in her mind, "Mother, can you really make sugar like this?"

“Of course.” Ji Yunshuang said, taking out a large piece of white cloth from her bundle.

This was obviously taken from the space under the cover of the bundle.

However, because the original owner packed the bundle herself and carried it close to her body, no one knew what was inside. In the past few days, she often used the bundle to take small items out of her spatial storage.

This time, she used an old white cloth commonly used in rural areas.

When my grandparents were alive, they loved using this kind of cloth to filter soybean pulp to make tofu.

At this moment, everyone's attention was on the pot, and since the old white cloth wasn't actually that white, it didn't attract much attention.

Once the sweet potatoes in the pot were cooked until soft, Ji Yunshuang called Lu Wuzheng and his brothers over to help.

Scoop all the cooked sweet potatoes into a strainer and squeeze the juice into a large pot, then continue to boil the water.

Ji Yunshuang collected the remaining residue in the filter cloth separately, intending to make sweet potato cakes to eat as dry food.

Before they knew it, the night had deepened, but no one wanted to sleep, all eager to see if Ji Yunshuang could actually make the candy.

As the cooking time increased, the sweet potato juice in the pot gradually became thicker and darker in color, and a rich aroma of sugar filled the air.

Although it's not fully cooked yet, anyone can tell that the sugar has been cooked through.

Unlike Aunt Zhou and others who were happy for Ji Yunshuang and praised her abilities, Lu Bingchun and the Liu couple were so jealous that their eyes turned red.

Ma remained calm at this moment.

He thought Ji Yunshuang was a complete idiot.

She just made this precious sugar-making recipe in front of everyone; isn't that just handing money over to her?

Once she settled down in Jiangzhou, she went to find wild yams to boil into sugar and sell. She was sure that her family would live a good life and become a wealthy family.

As for Ji Yunshuang's family, she sneered inwardly. It was a pity that by then they would have turned into a pile of bones and would never see their family's wealth and glory.

With this idea in mind, she stood on tiptoe, her eyes wide open like copper bells, and peered towards the large pot.

When Aunt Zhou and the others saw her actions, they all intentionally or unintentionally helped Ji Yunshuang shield herself.

Ji Yunshuang, on the other hand, was not in a hurry at all.

So what if she goes to study?

She needs to find sweet potatoes first!

There are no sweet potatoes in this world.

Whether or not she takes it out to plant in the future depends on her mood.

However, Aunt Zhou and the others knew how to repay kindness, which made her feel less heartbroken about the sweet potatoes they gave her today.

Once the syrup was fully cooked, Ji Yunshuang added the fried rice and began making frozen rice candy.

In the wild, without suitable molds, the final frozen rice candy didn't have a very good shape, but the taste was absolutely amazing.

Lu Yuzhu's little mouth was bulging from eating, and her eyes curved into crescents, like a little hamster satisfied with its food.

Looking at her adorable daughter, Ji Yunshuang felt the frozen rice candy in her mouth taste even sweeter, and a sense of satisfaction, like that of raising a pet, rose in her heart once again.

With the provisions prepared, Lu Yinheng led everyone on their journey early the next morning.

Ma Lan followed behind, occasionally glancing maliciously at Lu Yinheng and Ji Yunshuang in front.

Lu Xuewen pinched her hard and said in a low voice, "Go quickly, just bear with it for a few more days. Once we get past this stretch of road, we'll deal with them, and you won't need to be subservient anymore."

Thinking about how she had seized Lu Yinheng's family fortune and the good life she would have after obtaining Ji Yunshuang's sugar recipe, Ma's gloom gradually faded, and she chased after him with a fawning expression, "Qiwa, are you tired? Come on, Auntie will carry you."

Lu Yanqi glanced at her coldly, avoiding her gaze, and said, "I'm not tired, I can walk by myself."

Ma cursed the bastard in her heart, but smiled broadly. "You were just seriously ill, how could you not be tired? Alright, don't force yourself, let me carry you."

Lu Yanqi's face grew even colder. "I'm cured." With that, he took short strides and ran quickly to his father.

Ma Lan cursed inwardly as an ungrateful bastard, then turned to fawn over Ji Yunshuang.

Ji Yunshuang raised an eyebrow at her, looking at her with a half-smile, and said, "Did you take the wrong medicine today?"

Malan was stunned by her clear eyes, and had the illusion that no conspiracy could escape her eyes.

She barely managed to suppress the scream in her heart, and said sincerely, "Cousin-in-law, I know that my parents-in-law did some things that were wrong to your family."

But that's all in the past. We're family after all, why should we let those old, trivial things cause us to have a falling out?

Now that we're fleeing famine, we should help each other and stand together through thick and thin. Please, be magnanimous and let bygones be bygones! Let's get along well from now on.”

As she spoke, she looked at Lu Yuzhu with a beaming smile and said, "Little Zhu, how about Auntie carries you?"

Lu Yuzhu held her mother's hand tightly and snuggled closer to her, saying, "No, I can walk by myself."

Ma Lan almost lost her smile. Just as she was about to say something more, Lu Tianhu rushed over from behind.

He glared angrily at Lu Yuzhu and shouted, "Mother, why are you carrying that short-lived girl? Carry me! My feet hurt."

Seeing Ji Yunshuang's eyes turn icy cold instantly, Ma Lan slapped her son on the head in annoyance and scolded, "What are you carrying? What nonsense are you spouting? Go walk by yourself."

Lu Tianhu burst into tears, "You bad woman, you said it yourself—"

Before she could finish speaking, Lu Xuewen, who had caught up from behind, covered her mouth and said fiercely, "What nonsense are you talking about? If you keep talking nonsense, I'll throw you into the mountains to feed the wolves."

Lu Tianhu was spoiled by his family and was not afraid of his father's threats.

On the contrary, he felt that being slapped by his mother and scolded by his father today was the greatest injustice he had ever suffered in his life, and he refused to accept it, so he immediately started to throw a tantrum.

Liu was unaware of the couple's plans.

Seeing her eldest daughter-in-law shamelessly trying to curry favor with Ji Yunshuang, she was already very unhappy.

Seeing the couple still scolding their precious grandson for the sake of that brat from the Lu family, she immediately rushed over to protect her grandson, saying, "Madam, are you out of your mind? If the child's foot hurts, what's wrong with carrying him? Don't you love your own child? Why go and fawn over that lowly one—"

Before she could finish cursing "slut," Ji Yunshuang stomped on her foot, and a deafening scream echoed throughout the valley.

"what!"

Liu fell to the ground, clutching her foot and yelling, "You bitch, how dare you step on me! I'll kill you!"

"Watch your mouth, or you'll get what's coming to you."

After Ji Yunshuang finished speaking, she bent down, picked up her daughter, and turned to leave.
