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

The eldest brother of the Hu family couldn't help but swallow hard, but thinking of the bones Lu Yinheng had given them at noon, he sighed and whispered, "They probably won't give us any more, will they?"

At noon, although Lu Yinheng seemed to be fair and just, it appeared that he gave his family the biggest bone.

But he felt that it was just for show. In reality, the excess meat was distributed to the Zhou and Mu families.

Clearly, they did not treat them any better because of their kinship.

Sister-in-law Hu said unhappily, "Why won't we share the meat? My younger sister is engaged to his second son. If he doesn't share the meat with us, my younger sister won't marry his second son."

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

Although Brother Hu was dissatisfied with the Lu family, he was unwilling to let his wife do anything reckless because it concerned his younger sister's marriage.

He drew a long face and lowered his voice, saying, "If you ruin Yaomei's wedding just for a few pieces of meat, I'll skin you alive."

Sister-in-law Hu rolled her eyes inwardly, thinking to herself, "What an idiot man! He doesn't care about his own son and daughter, but he dotes on that pretentious, ungrateful girl. When you get old, go find that ungrateful girl to take care of you."

But recently, she's been secretly thinking about it and has figured it out. She knows that arguing with him won't get her any benefits.

Therefore, even though she was cursing in her heart, she said aloud, "I didn't mean to ruin my younger sister's marriage. I was just feeling indignant for her."

"Tell me, which unmarried young man doesn't send nice gifts to his future mother-in-law to please his future wife? But look at that second son of the Lu family, what has he sent to our house along the way?"

She pouted, looking very worried about her sister-in-law. "I think he doesn't care about my younger sister at all. If our family doesn't step in, won't she be bullied after she marries into their family?"

Brother Hu fell silent instantly.

His youngest sister was always well-behaved and knew how to make him happy. He doted on this younger sister.

He already felt that Lu Wuzheng was not good enough for his sister, and he was also very dissatisfied with Lu Wuzheng's behavior along the way.

Now, after listening to his wife's whispers, he hesitated for a moment and said, "What if we can't control them in the end, and they take the opportunity to say they won't marry my younger sister?"

Sister-in-law Hu said, "Younger sister is a famous beauty in the surrounding villages. If he doesn't marry her, plenty of others will. What are you afraid of!"

Brother Hu didn't say anything more, but he clearly agreed with his wife's words.

On the other side, the Sun family was also very eager for Lu Yinheng's pot of meat.

However, unlike the Hu family, the Sun family's sisters-in-law secretly glanced at the pot of meat at the Lu family's house while cursing Sun Meixiang in low voices.

"Tell me honestly, what did you do in the mountains today? How did you offend that Ji family? Why did she say a few words to Lu Dalang after she came back, and then change the big bones she was going to give us to small ones instead?"

Hearing her sister-in-law's scolding, Sun Meixiang felt a little guilty, but thinking that Ji Yunshuang hadn't said a word at the time, but then went back to complain to her husband, she was furious.

She retorted, "What did I do! She only gave you little bones, not because you were slacking off and didn't help with the work properly!"

"You brat, none of your brothers slacked off today." Sister-in-law Sun slapped Sun Meixiang on the head and scolded, "You must have done something."

"I said no, so it is. If you dislike me for coming back to my parents' home, just say so. Why do you always find excuses to bully me?"

Sun Meixiang covered her head and glared at her, saying, "Give me back all my things. I'm no longer a member of the Sun family. Whatever she does to me has nothing to do with you, okay?"

Sister-in-law Sun's momentum instantly weakened. She stammered for a moment before scolding, "You didn't give us anything, little girl, don't make up stories."

Seeing that the group was about to start arguing, Old Man Sun scolded them, saying, "Alright, all of you, shut up. Do you have to keep arguing until you end up like that family, being kicked out before you'll quiet down?"

Thinking of Lu Bingchun's family who had been driven away, the group pouted but ultimately remained silent.

Unlike the oppressive, angry, and calculating atmosphere at the Sun and Hu families' homes, the atmosphere at the Lu family's home was warm and cozy.

Lu Wuzheng occasionally stirred the meat in the pot with a spatula and asked Ji Yunshuang, "Sister-in-law, is the meat cooked? Can we take it out now?"

The tigress was very large; even after removing the bones, the remaining meat weighed over 100 pounds.

This pot is far too much to braise.

Ji Yunshuang's idea was to divide the meat into two pots for braising.

Anyway, you only need to keep an eye on the fire when braising meat. Just braise one batch in the first half of the night and another batch in the second half.

This way, both pots of meat will be well-seasoned.

However, judging from the way they were staring longingly at the big pot and secretly swallowing their saliva, they clearly couldn't wait any longer.

She said, "If you're hungry, you can eat first, but it will taste better if you braise it for a little longer."

Lu Wuzheng looked at his older brother and said, "Why don't we try a small amount first, just a little bit, and eat the rest after the braising liquid has absorbed the flavor?"

Looking at his lively younger brother, Lu Yinheng couldn't help but think of his younger brother from his previous life, who had a broken leg, often felt sorry for himself, and was full of resentment.

A fleeting emotion crossed his eyes, but he quickly smiled and said, "Since you want to eat, scoop up a few more pieces, cut them up, and give some to everyone to try."

Lu Wuzheng hurriedly replied, "Okay."

The brothers worked together, some using spatulas to scoop out the meat, others using knives and makeshift cutting boards. After a flurry of activity, they divided the braised meat into several portions and sent one to each family.

Niu Dahua and Aunt Zhou were at a loss when they received the braised meat from Lu Zilin. They said repeatedly, "How can we accept this? We didn't do anything. How can we eat your meat?"

Lu Zilin said sincerely, "My sister-in-law made this. My older brother said he would send it over for everyone to try. It's my sister-in-law's cooking. Please don't be shy, aunties."

"You're too kind," Aunt Zhou said, wiping away her tears. "Meeting you brothers during this famine is truly a blessing for our family. From now on, my Dalin and Erzhu will be your brothers."

After she finished speaking, she looked at her two sons and said, "Dalin, Erzhu, did you hear that? We owe a lot to the Lu brothers during this famine. From now on, you should treat them as your own brothers. No matter what, you must help each other, understand?"

Zhou Dalin said earnestly, "Mother, don't worry, I know what I'm doing. I'll treat them like my own brothers from now on."

Zhou Erzhu nodded in agreement, indicating that he would listen to his mother and elder brother.

Niu Dahua didn't say anything about brotherhood to her son.

His own son was no match for Zhou Dalin; his brotherly relationship with Lu Dalang and his brothers was just taking advantage of them.

She whispered to her son and grandson to remember the Lu family's kindness and to repay them properly when they had the chance.

Although the Hu and Sun families were thanking Lu Wuzheng and Lu Xumu for bringing them meat, their eyes kept sneaking glances at the Zhou and Mu families, wondering if those two families had received more meat.
