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

Ji Yunshuang slapped her across the face. Under Madam Ma's incredulous and angry gaze, she calmly said, "That's what you call hitting. I just said a few words to him, telling him not to snatch the food from my daughter's hands. He's a coward; he cried after just one sentence. What does that have to do with me?"

"You...you actually dared to hit me!" Mrs. Ma covered her face, still feeling like she was dreaming.

In her eyes, her cousin's wife was nothing but a pretty face and a good-natured airhead. When did this lazy, stupid fool develop such an air of authority?

"I'm just demonstrating to you what hitting someone means. So you won't misunderstand what hitting someone means and then wrongly accuse me again next time."

After Ji Yunshuang finished speaking, she glanced at the various gazes cast from the corner of the cave and said, "Also, don't try to use the child as an excuse to morally blackmail me in the future. You let your son bully my child, and you still want me to give her food? What a pipe dream!"

After Lu Bingcheng's death, Lu Bingchun, his own brother, not only did not help his sister-in-law and several nephews, but also schemed against the orphans and widows, which made everyone look down on him.

In addition, the Lu family's selfishness during their escape has drawn criticism from the villagers.

At this moment, not only did no one think Ji Yunshuang was wrong, but some people even thought Ji Yunshuang did a good job.

Several aunts also spoke up for Ji Yunshuang, saying that they often saw Lu Tianhu bullying Lu Yanqi and his sister, and that Ji was right to do the right thing.

What kind of mother is she who can't protect her own child and lets others bully her child?

Some people say that everyone is struggling during the famine, so why should Ma ask Ji to give her children food?

Although the two families are related, their relationship is poor, so this request is completely unreasonable. It's as if she deserved to be beaten.

Ma took the initiative and thought everyone would side with him, but to his surprise, not only did no one side with him, but he was also criticized.

But things are different now than they used to be in the village. If they fall out with the villagers now, their family will be isolated and helpless, and it will be even more dangerous for them on the road.

She could only suppress her anger and angrily drag her son back to her own place to rest.

Lu Tianhu used to be domineering in the village, and his family spoiled him, always giving him the best food.

Seeing that Lu Yuzhu, a mere girl, was getting meat while he wasn't, he wouldn't stop crying and demanding meat after they got back.

Ji Yunshuang felt no pity for this kind of bratty child. No matter how much he cried and fussed, she wouldn't even blink.

She looked at Lu Yuzhu gently and said, "Eat quickly! I'll go up the mountain again tomorrow to see if I can find any pheasants, and then we'll make chicken soup."

Just thinking about the delicious chicken soup made her mouth water. She hadn't tasted delicious chicken soup since the apocalypse.

Tomorrow she's going to the mountains to see if she can catch a pheasant. If not, she'll take a chicken out of her spatial storage, slaughter it, and bring it back.

As she mentally planned for tomorrow, a smile unconsciously crept onto Ji Yunshuang's lips. This place was truly wonderful; the future filled her with hope.

Unbeknownst to her, as she envisioned a bright future, both Lu Yinheng and his son were looking at her with complicated expressions.

Lu Yanqi had already realized that he must have been reborn. Reborn to the time when his mother eloped with another man and took his younger sister with her.

He just didn't understand why this life was different from the last.

His mother not only didn't elope with his sister, but also protected them, and would often act like she was crazy, constantly giggling.

He frowned and thought for a moment, then quickly understood. His mother must have been reborn, just like him.

Knowing that his father would become a high-ranking official in his past life, and that he himself would become the top scholar in the imperial examination, he decided not to elope with his sister in this life.

But all she knew was that her father eventually became a high-ranking official, a powerful minister who held immense influence in the court. Little did she know that her father had faced countless life-threatening situations on his journey, and that a single misstep could have plunged him into an abyss, leaving him with nothing but ashes.

If this vain and promiscuous woman were allowed to stay by my father's side, the consequences would be unimaginable.

He couldn't let her harm his father.

Lu Yanqi lowered his eyes and silently made a decision in his heart.

He wants to get rid of her.

In this lifetime, he must protect his father and sister.

Ji Yunshuang had no idea that this seemingly small person was plotting how to kill her.

She was envisioning a bright future when she casually touched Lu Yanqi's forehead and noticed that his temperature had dropped a bit. She then handed him a skewer of roasted rabbit meat and asked, "Can you eat this by yourself?"

She didn't think much of Lu Yanqi vomiting the rabbit meat earlier. She just assumed it was a reaction from her child being sick and uncomfortable.

Lu Yanqi thought about how she had caused her sister's tragic death in her past life, and how she had shamelessly gone to her father, who was already heartbroken because of her sister's death.

She also said those things to provoke him.

Because of her, her father was almost framed...

He now only wishes he could kill his mother immediately and become that rebellious person.

However, he was sore and weak all over that he could barely pick up a skewer of meat, let alone anything else.

Having clearly recognized his own weakness, Lu Yanqi channeled his grief and indignation into strength, and struggled to eat the meat skewers in large bites.

Ji Yunshuang watched as Xiao Yanqi eagerly held a skewer of grilled meat, his little mouth bulging out as he ate. She couldn't help but poke his chubby little face with her finger and said, "So cute!"

Lu Yanqi was almost married when he died in his previous life, so returning to the age of four and a half is already shameful enough.

Ji Yunshuang poked his face and praised him for being cute, which immediately made his face fall.

Looking at him, Ji Yunshuang only found him even more adorable.

But he's still too thin. If he were a little plumper, he'd definitely be more bouncy to the touch. She was inexplicably looking forward to the feeling of squeezing the little guy when he was all chubby and healthy.

Time travel is wonderful!

Ji Yunshuang sighed inwardly and got up to look at the sweet potatoes she had buried in the fire.

The sweet potatoes had been roasting in the fire for so long that the smaller ones were already cooked. She took out the cooked ones, flipped the larger ones over, and roasted them again.

Besides the sweet potatoes, the remaining rabbit meat was also roasted. Lu Zhilin had also taken out the cave rat he caught from the cave and roasted it over the fire.

With so much meat, plus the sweet potatoes Ji Yunshuang brought back today, the Lu family will be able to eat their fill tonight.

However, due to the robbery, the Lu family lost most of their belongings when they fled, so Gu Chunzhi decided to save some to eat the next day.

Ji Yunshuang guarded the space, and since this world was not the end of the world, she was not worried about not having anything to eat.

Therefore, when Gu Chunzhi suggested leaving some food for the next day, she promptly stopped her, saying, "Mother, everyone has suffered a lot these past few days trying to escape. There's still a long way to go! Let everyone eat their fill first, and we can find more food on the mountain tomorrow!"

Gu Chunzhi wanted to say, "Do you think it'll be so easy for you to find food in the future?" But then, remembering that apart from the hole rats, everything else was found by her daughter-in-law, she changed her mind and said, "Then you can arrange it as you see fit!"

Ji Yunshuang picked out a few small sweet potatoes and tore off a large piece of rabbit meat, handing it to Lu Zhilin and saying, "Take this to Aunt Zhou and the others. Your brother was able to escape danger this time thanks to the help of the eldest brother from the Zhou family."

Her words made Lu Yinheng even more certain that she, like him, had been reborn.

I'm afraid their gratitude to Brother Zhou is just a pretense; they're really after Zhou Dalang's future power.

In his previous life, Zhou Dalin was drafted into the army just like him and became a soldier.

Together with Zhou Dalin, relying on their hard work, they quickly distinguished themselves in the camp. Later, because they saved the new emperor's life, they were granted the title of Marquis of Wu'an, the only non-royal marquis in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

She may say nice things, but I'm afraid she's secretly plotting something!

Lu Yinheng's face instantly turned even colder.
