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

Meanwhile, Lu Bingchun's family, among the refugees, were also secretly watching Lu Yinheng and the others.

Lu Wuze swallowed hard, his eyes gleaming with envy. "Dad, where did they get such a big cow?"

Lu Bingchun warned, "No matter how they got here, don't even think about getting involved!"

He appeared to be doing well these past few days, but the fact that he had abandoned his lame eldest son was still a source of deep worry for him.

He dared not let his remaining sons take any more risks.

"I didn't have any plans, I was just saying," Lu Wuze said. "They didn't enter the city either, I wonder if they have some ideas."

Lu Bingchun was unwilling to admit it, but now that he was here, he had to admit that his younger brother's sons were indeed more useful than his own.

He suppressed his resentment and said, "Keep a close eye on them. Whatever they do, we'll do the same."

"They're going into the city, so should we?" Lu Wuze asked. "Where would we get so much money?"

Zhu Dong'e's hands, which were holding her two daughters, trembled when she heard her husband's words.

Lu Bingchun said, "Do you think they have money? They haven't even entered the city yet, they must be unwilling to pay, and are planning to take another route."

Lu Wuze thought his father's words made sense, so he kept a close eye on Lu Yinheng and the others.

When Lu Yinheng and the others set off the next day, he immediately took his family and followed them.

Many refugees, seeing that they were not going into the city but instead into the mountains, belatedly realized their intentions.

However, not many refugees dared to go into the mountains.

Yian County became a strategic location fought over by military strategists entirely because of its unique geographical location.

The surrounding mountains are not easy to cross.

For someone without martial arts skills, venturing into the mountains is like offering food to the wild beasts. But for Lu Yinheng and Ji Yunshuang, the mountains were far easier than the official roads.

After all, although it is dangerous in the mountains, they are not incapable of dealing with it.

The official roads were just as dangerous; they were constantly being watched by pairs of eyes lurking in the shadows, making them uneasy about everything they did.

After entering the mountains, Lu Yinheng and Ji Yunshuang were like fish that had entered the sea.

The two of them would take time every day to go hunting in the mountains to improve their family's meals, and they also accumulated a lot of animal pelts.

After Ji Yunshuang received the money from Old Madam Zhao to go shopping at the black market that day, she did not distribute the grain to the Zhao family upon her return. Instead, she sent a portion of the food she cooked to the Zhao family every time.

Basically, whatever the Lu family ate, they would send to the Zhao family as well.

Recently, Lu Yinheng and Ji Yunshuang have hunted a lot of game and eat meat almost every meal. When they rest, Ji Yunshuang will also look for wild vegetables and fruits to make sweet soup or wild vegetable soup.

Every time they ate, Ji Yunshuang would share some with the Zhao family.

Grandma Zhao felt very guilty.

Although she gave Ji Yunshuang money, that money might have been a large sum in the past, but now it's a chaotic world, and with the little money she gave, how could they afford to eat so well?

Not only did her two grandsons look better, but she herself also felt more energetic in her legs.

Moreover, Ji Yunshuang took care of them in every way.

If Ji Yunshuang had taken their money and then returned with a bag of food, they might have been targeted by other refugees. By taking care of their food, she essentially took on all the risks for them.

Since they hadn't even reached Jiangzhou yet, any words of thanks seemed like empty words to her. She could only secretly remind her daughter-in-law and daughter to keep their eyes peeled and offer help whenever they saw the Lu family needing assistance.

Both the aunt and sister-in-law kept Old Mrs. Zhao's words in their hearts.

When Zhao Jingru saw that Ji Yunshuang had to sew shoes every night in addition to hunting, she took the initiative to approach her and said, "Sister-in-law, how about I help you?"

"You can make shoes too?" Ji Yunshuang's eyes showed a mixture of surprise and delight.

She used to be a blogger and released several videos, so she definitely knows how to make shoes.

But since she wasn't a professional, it took her much longer than she expected to do it.

Moreover, hunting and stockpiling supplies were more appealing to her than making shoes.

This is why she hasn't finished making the shoes yet.

Zhao Jingru nodded and said, "I know a little bit. Why don't you teach me first, sister-in-law, and I'll try it out?"

When Ji Yunshuang heard her say that, she thought that she really only knew a little bit, so she patiently explained the whole shoe-making process to her.

To everyone's surprise, after listening to her, she immediately started sewing.

Ji Yunshuang looked at her movements; she knew far more than just a little bit! Her movements were so skilled, and she understood what she meant after only one listen, clearly indicating that she had made shoes frequently before!

What surprised her even more was that not only did Zhao Jingru sew shoes like an old shoemaker, but Nie's needlework was also exceptionally good.

The two stayed up most of the night by the light of the fire.

The next morning, Ji Yunshuang and the two little ones all put on their new shoes.

Wearing the comfortable new shoes, Ji Yunshuang's mood instantly improved several notches.

Lu Yuzhu looked happily at her little leather boots and said sweetly, "Thank you, Mother!"

Ji Yunshuang smiled and kissed her adorable little girl, then said, "I also have to thank Aunt Zhao and Sister Zhao."

Lu Yuzhu said, "Thank you, Aunt Zhao, Sister Zhao!"

Nie waved her hand awkwardly, "It's all what I should do!"

"It's nothing, thank you so much! If it weren't for you, I'd be so slow and clumsy, I don't know when I would have been able to wear my new shoes!"

As Ji Yunshuang spoke, she pulled her to sit down and drink milk together.

Recently, she has been secretly mixing grass from the black soil with the feed for the dairy cows, and the cows' milk production has become very stable.

She would milk the cows every morning and evening, and then drink the milk with her whole family.

Sometimes she gets tired of just drinking milk, so she'll try to make it more varied. Sometimes she'll make ginger milk tea with milk and ginger, sometimes she'll add flowers, and sometimes she'll add wild berries.

Now, the Zhao brothers no longer dislike drinking milk; instead, they look forward to it.

The two thought Ji Yunshuang was a really amazing person, not only was she skilled in martial arts, but she could also cook so many delicious dishes.

When traveling, the two often stayed by Lu Yanqi and Lu Yuzhu's side, taking care of them like little adults.

Every evening when they stopped to rest, the two of them would dutifully stay by the adults' side while they were busy.

Lu Yanqi's brows furrowed even more deeply.

When he first heard Zhao Zheng's name, he didn't think much of it, assuming it was just a coincidence of names.

But the more he looked at Zhao Zheng recently, the more he felt that Zhao Zheng was the mastermind behind a major case in his past life.

The man was young, yet ruthless. At first, he thought he was driven by profit, but further investigation revealed that he killed without any reason. Human life was worthless to him, or perhaps even less than that.

But when she saw Zhao Zheng gently taking care of them, and looking at her mother with such adoration...

He simply couldn't reconcile this child with a pure heart with the wicked person he had been in his past life.

Upon closer inspection of Zhao Zheng's facial features, he knew that he had not made a mistake.

Thinking back to his past life investigating cases, he had never heard of Zhao Zheng having any relatives, and his brows furrowed involuntarily.

Could it be that because they didn't have a chance to meet in their past lives, Old Mrs. Zhao, his mother, his aunt, and his brother all died?

So, because of his mother's involvement, Old Mrs. Zhao and the others have lived a good life?

So because of his mother, Zhao Zheng didn't turn evil in this life, but instead took a completely different path from his previous life.

Was it her mother's unintentional act of kindness that saved him?
