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

Hearing Lu Wuzheng's words, Hu Erge and Hu Ersao were both a little embarrassed, and they quickly looked away.

Sister-in-law Sun scoffed inwardly, "It's just a bowl of ginger soup, what's the big deal!"

She grabbed Sun Meixiang and said, "Come on, let's go gather some firewood to start a fire."

Sun Meijiao looked at the heavy rain outside and didn't want to go.

She looked pitifully at Lu Yinheng, but when she saw that he didn't even glance at her, she reluctantly left the post station with Sister-in-law Sun.

Seeing that the Sun family had gone outside the post station to collect firewood, Sister-in-law Hu urged Hu Chunjiao and Brother Hu to go into the mountains to find firewood as well.

As she urged him on, she said, "You're our family's lucky star! With you by my side, Heaven will surely bless your brother to find firewood quickly!"

The elderly couple, Mr. and Mrs. Hu, were initially a little sorry for their daughter and reluctant to let her get wet in the rain. But after hearing what their eldest daughter-in-law said, the couple looked at their daughter expectantly.

Not only that, Old Hu also asked his second son and his wife to go with their daughter, hoping that God would bless their family so that they could not only bring back some firewood, but also some food.

Normally, Hu Chunjiao would definitely not want to go.

But today, she desperately wanted to see the look of regret in Lu Wuzheng's eyes when she returned with firewood and prey.

Without a second thought, she rushed into the rain.

Ji Yunshuang didn't pay much attention to the Hu family.

Today, when she was making ginger soup, she secretly added a few drops of honey. Although she didn't add much honey, the others didn't experience the same strong sensation as she did.

But at this moment, everyone felt warm all over and felt particularly comfortable.

Lu Yinheng took a knife and went out several times, cutting some pine branches to bring in and burn them with firewood.

After the fire had grown bigger, Gu Chunzhi took out cloth and blankets from her luggage and used tree branches to make a simple shelter. The Lu family members then took turns going in to tidy up their clothes.

The clothes in their luggage were all wet, and they had no clothes to change into.

The only thing I could do was wring out the water from my clothes so they would dry faster when I leaned against the fire to warm myself.

Ji Yunshuang helped the two children wring out the water from their clothes and returned to the fire, sighing inwardly.

It's so frustrating that there are so many high-end children's clothes in the room, but it's inconvenient to take them out!

Since it wasn't convenient to take out the clothes from her spatial storage, she simply got up and went to the well in the backyard to fetch a pot of water to cook something.

She had picked some chestnuts in the mountains earlier but hadn't eaten them yet, so she took some out and asked the Lu brothers to peel them.

They also took out some hawthorn and rosehips and put them in a pot to boil into a sweet soup.

Rose hips are naturally sweet, and these rose hips have grown in the black soil for a period of time, making them even tastier than wild ones.

Ji Yunshuang secretly added a few more drops of nectar.

The fruit had only been boiling in the water for a short while when the whole room was filled with a rich fruity aroma.

The Hu family members, smelling the fruity aroma in the air, swallowed hard and stood on tiptoe to look outside.

Sister-in-law Hu thought to herself, "Isn't it my sister-in-law who's the lucky one?"

Why don't I see my sister-in-law having good luck? On the contrary, that Ji family member is always finding rice or picking fruit; her luck is simply off the charts.

Instead of her sister-in-law returning with firewood and game, she heard her sister-in-law crying!

"Oh no, sister-in-law! My brother has fallen off a cliff! Baojia almost broke his leg trying to save him! My God, what are we going to do?"

Hu Ersao supported Hu Erge, crying and wailing all the way to the post station. Hu Chunjiao followed behind, her face pale and trembling uncontrollably.

"You... what did you say?" Old Hu trembled as he looked at his second son and his wife, "What did you say about the eldest son?"

"Father, my elder brother slipped and fell off the cliff!" Hu Bao said in pain. "I tried to grab him, but I couldn't and I fell down myself. I wanted to go down and save him, but my legs wouldn't give way, and the cliff was too high..."

"Is this the reason?" Sister-in-law Hu said angrily, "Are you just sending your brother to his death like this?"

Before Hu Erge could answer, she angrily grabbed Hu Chunjiao and shook her, saying, "Aren't you our family's lucky girl? Weren't you with us? Why didn't you pray to those Bodhisattvas to protect your eldest brother and let him fall off the cliff? How can you face your brother who loves you so much?"

Hu Chunjiao said, distraught, "I...I don't know! I shouldn't have done this!"

"Alright, eldest daughter-in-law, why are you making things difficult for a child!" Old Mrs. Hu held back her tears and took a few steps to rescue her daughter from her eldest daughter-in-law's arms.

Old Mrs. Hu's actions, however, touched a nerve with Hu's sister-in-law, who suddenly erupted in anger: "All you do is support her! She even killed your son, and you still protect her? I think this 'divine blessing' is just something you made up—"

Seeing that she was getting more and more agitated, Old Hu shouted, "Alright! What's the use of your fuss? Can you bring the eldest son back by making a scene? Hurry up and think of a solution!"

Sister-in-law Hu collapsed to the ground, wiping away her tears, and said, "What can I do?"

Old Hu glanced at his grandsons and led them to the Lu family.

"Brother, we were wrong before, but the marriage between the two children still stands. You see... could you help us go down the cliff and look for them?"

Before Lu Yinheng could speak, Lu Wuzheng rushed forward and said, "You think you can just call off the engagement like that, and then you think you can just refuse to? What do you take me for?"

"Erlang, I know you are a good young man. It was our family's fault before. Don't let our mistakes cause you to have a grudge against Chunjiao. Our two families have been engaged for two years. If it weren't for this disaster, you and Chunjiao would have been married long ago. Now we are all one family."

"You don't need to say anything more. My older brother won't help you save people," Lu Wu said coldly. "Also, I'm glad this marriage didn't happen!"

What happened last night made him see the Hu family for who they really are.

The Hu family is essentially the same selfish and cold-hearted people as his uncle's family. However, the Hu family is just better at pretending than his uncle's family.

Old Hu was so angry at his words that he almost fell over backwards.

Normally, he would have stormed off in a huff.

But it concerns the life of my eldest son.

Moreover, since his second son was already injured, he could also send several of his grandsons on an adventure.

He could only patiently look at Lu Yinheng and say, "Brother, even if our two families' marriage doesn't work out, we're still from the same village. We fled this far together, and we even fought against bandits together before... We've been through thick and thin together, are you really going to just stand by and watch me die?"

Lu Yinheng finally spoke up: "Uncle Hu, it's not that I'm unwilling to help, but the rain is too heavy right now, and even if I went, it wouldn't be convenient for the search and rescue."
