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

Seeing that Lu Yinheng and the others had all gone into the inn, leaving only their two families outside, Hu Dazhou said, "Grandpa and Grandma, let's go stay at the inn too! Actually, it's quite expensive, but Brother Dalang and the innkeeper have already agreed on a price—one room for a man and one for a woman, totaling only one hundred coins. We—"

Hu Quan's face fell, and before he could speak, his sister-in-law spat at him, saying, "You really don't know how expensive firewood, rice, oil, and salt are when you're not in charge of the household. One hundred coins! A full one hundred coins! And you actually said it was only one hundred coins."

How many hundred-cent coins have you earned for your family in your life?

There are so many things to spend money on these days. Instead of wasting it on unnecessary expenses, it's better to save the money and spend it wisely.

Hu Quan showed a hint of agreement on his face and said, "Your mother is right. Money should be spent wisely. We've just arrived in Hongdu and are unfamiliar with the place. We'll need money for many things in the future, so we can't waste it like this."

“But Brother Lu—” Hu Dazhou wanted to say that Brother Lu and the others had all gone to the inn, and he felt that following them would be the right thing to do.

However, before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Sister-in-law Hu, "Dazhou, you can't compare yourself to the Lu family in everything. We are different from the Lu family."

"Lu Dalang is capable; which of you brothers can compare to him? And who among you has the good fortune of his wife?"

As she spoke, she glanced in Hu Chunjiao's direction. Her gaze was full of reproach and sarcasm.

She still couldn't get over the fact that her husband and sister-in-law went up the mountain together, not only failing to bring back a full meal, but also causing her husband to fall and become mentally disabled.

He also had many complaints about Hu Chunjiao.

The elderly couple in the Hu family have also become less friendly towards Hu Chunjiao recently. This makes Hu Chunjiao feel sad and frightened.

It was only then that she suddenly realized that, apart from the belief that she was destined to bring good fortune to her family, she was essentially no different from the other girls in the village who were called worthless, worthless brats, and disliked by everyone.

She lowered her head even further, swallowing back the words she had originally intended to say in support of her nephew.

There was no conflict within the Sun family, since everyone shared the same opinion: Lu Yinheng was arrogant and wasteful.

It's better to save the money spent on staying at a guesthouse and use it for household expenses later.

On the other side, after Ji Yunshuang entered the inn, she told the waiter to bring them three large rooms and two buckets of hot water to each room.

Upon hearing her words, Gu Chunzhi wanted to run out and stop her. She had just heard that the room had a separate price, and the hot water had a separate price. And each bucket of hot water cost twenty coins.

She originally planned to ask for a bucket of hot water so that her family members could take turns washing.

Before she could stop him, Ji Yunshuang took out a coin from her purse and gave it to the waiter, saying, "Keep the change, keep it as a tip."

Judging from their clothes, the waiter initially assumed they were poor and suffering people, and didn't expect any tips.

But appearances can be deceiving; this plainly dressed woman turned out to be quite generous.

He happily accepted Ji Yunshuang's money and said loudly, "Alright! I'll take you all to your rooms first. Hot water will be delivered shortly. Please feel free to call me if you need anything."

Gu Chunzhi was completely dumbfounded.

When did my daughter-in-law get so much silver? Did she find it while picking rice?

Ji Yunshuang was very satisfied with the waiter's attitude and casually asked him if the inn had a small kitchen and if she could borrow it.

The waiter, having just received a tip, was very attentive to Ji Yunshuang and immediately brought up the matter of borrowing the kitchen.

The inn that Lu Yinheng found was of a mid-to-low-end standard and did not have a separate kitchenette for guests to rent.

However, the waiter suggested that later, after the mealtime had passed and the main kitchen was available, he could ask the manager to let her use it.

The rice, flour, oil, and other grains used can be replenished to the inn at the price of buying them from outside.

Upon hearing this, Ji Yunshuang immediately thanked the waiter and expressed her wish to borrow the inn's kitchen that evening when it became available.

After making the arrangements with the waiter, Ji Yunshuang went into her room.

She didn't like being seen while showering, so she paid for a private room for Gu Chunzhi and Xiao Yuzhu. She also arranged for Lu Yinheng and his son to share a room with his younger brothers.

Gu Chunzhi had wanted to find an opportunity to ask her about the money, but seeing her exchange a few words with Xiao Yuzhu before going into the room, she had no choice but to suppress her questions for the time being.

The Zhao family also requested three rooms, with two buckets of hot water in each room.

The Zhou and Mu families were much more frugal. Just as Gu Chunzhi had planned, each family only needed one room and one bucket of hot water, which they would use in turns.

Aside from the whole family crammed into one room and only needing a bucket of hot water, they didn't ask for any food from the inn, but instead ate the dry rations they had brought with them.

The Lu family still had plenty of provisions and didn't order any food from the inn. However, Old Madam Zhao ordered a large table of dishes and sent them over to the Lu family.

By this time, everyone in the Lu family had already taken a bath.

The food that Old Mrs. Zhao had the waiter deliver was brought to Gu Chunzhi's room. Looking at the table full of food, Gu Chunzhi exclaimed, "I never expected that Old Mrs. Zhao was truly a hidden talent."

"They must have suffered some hardship," Lu Zilin said, grabbing a piece of duck meat and gnawing on it. "But mainly it's because the Zhao family knows how to be polite and grateful."

Lu Xumu said, "It's not in vain that my elder brother and sister-in-law have taken such good care of them along the way."

“I didn’t take care of her for nothing.” Ji Yunshuang took out a money pouch from her bosom and placed it in front of Gu Chunzhi, saying, “This is the money that Old Madam Zhao gave me to help her buy grain. I spent some money on things outside Yi’an County, plus today’s rent, so the rest is here.”

Apart from Lu Yinheng, everyone else in the room looked surprised.

Gu Chunzhi said, "Is that so?"

He thought to himself, "No wonder my daughter-in-law was able to give the waiter money earlier; it was from the Zhao family!"

On the one hand, she felt that her son and daughter-in-law were being too extravagant; their poor family was actually imitating the local gentry by giving tips to others.

On the one hand, he was secretly glad that he hadn't shown any dissatisfaction with his daughter-in-law taking care of the Zhao family along the way.

Ji Yunshuang slowly ate a mouthful of rice and replied, "Well, I was afraid that if I gave the rice to the Zhao family, it would be too conspicuous and cause them trouble, so I didn't take out the money. I didn't mention buying the grain either."

“You earned this money through your own abilities, so I can’t take it.”

Gu Chunzhi pushed the money bag back and said to Ji Yunshuang, "If the Zhao family hadn't seen your abilities and trusted you, they wouldn't have found you. And the fact that you've managed to save so much money is all thanks to your hunting skills and ability to find food."

These days, Ji Yunshuang had secretly taken out a lot of food from her space. She felt that she deserved the money, so she didn't stand on ceremony with him and took the money back.

Although Gu Chunzhi spoke sincerely, she couldn't help but feel a little disappointed when Ji Yunshuang actually accepted the money.

Ji Yunshuang didn't care about her current conflicted feelings. After dinner, she asked the waiter when the kitchen would be ready to use.

The waiter went to the kitchen and quickly replied that it was ready to use.

Gu Chunzhi hurriedly asked, "Shuangniang, let Dalang take care of the two children. I'll go help you."

"No need, Mother. I'm just making some snacks for the children. It's enough for one person."

Ji Yunshuang asked the waiter to borrow the kitchen mainly because she wanted to use it as a cover to easily take out some food from the space.

If we ask her to help her, how can her plan be implemented?

Seeing that she refused, Gu Chunzhi could only say, "Then you've worked hard! Don't overwork yourself."
