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

"Eldest daughter-in-law, if you can't speak, then don't speak. If you don't speak, no one will think you're mute!"

After scolding his eldest daughter-in-law, Hu Quan carefully apologized to Lu Yinheng, saying, "Eldest son, I misspoke just now. I meant to say we were in-laws... No matter what, our two families still have some affection for each other, don't you think?"

"Where did we mislead you into thinking there's still some friendship between our two families? Tell me quickly, and we'll correct it right away. We can't let you misunderstand us anymore."

Ji Yunshuang's words left Hu Quan speechless for a long time.

"Let's go! Let's go to the market and buy some things to settle in the village." Rather than arguing with these people, Ji Yunshuang would rather stroll around the streets and experience the customs and culture of ancient times.

Seeing that Ji Yunshuang was about to leave with her people, the Sun family panicked. Sun's eldest sister-in-law pulled Sun's eldest brother and several children to kneel down before her.

Sister-in-law Sun kowtowed repeatedly on the ground, saying, "Mrs. Ji, it was our fault just now, please help us! I've inquired and heard that Weisha Village is near the river and floods every year, and the crops are submerged when the flood comes."

That's why there are hardly any people living there. If we were to be registered there, we'd be doomed. We're from the same village, after all; we're more trustworthy than outsiders. Please help us, and we'll do whatever you say from now on.”

In fact, Ji Yunshuang thought Weisha Village was not bad. As the saying goes, "Those who live near the mountains live off the mountains, and those who live near the water live off the water."

Weisha Village is located by the river. If people use their brains, they can start aquaculture or something similar, which may not be worse than planting.

However, she certainly wouldn't reveal her secret to getting rich to people like the Sun family.

She feigned surprise, widening her eyes. "That's terrible!" Then she laughed exaggeratedly, "I'm relieved to hear you're in such a terrible state!"

In an attempt to gain sympathy, Sister-in-law Sun actually banged her head on the ground.

Her forehead was bruised and bleeding from the impact, and her head was buzzing, so she couldn't immediately grasp the meaning behind Ji Yunshuang's words.

She stared blankly at Ji Yunshuang for a long time before she realized what Ji Yunshuang meant.

Anger surged through her body instantly, and she roared, "How could you do this? You vicious woman! If you don't help me, I'll expose you... you're having an affair with the officials!"

As if Sister-in-law Sun's words had opened up a floodgate of inspiration, Sister-in-law Hu immediately said, "Yes, yes, if you don't help us, we'll tell you about your collusion with the officials."

You went with that official alone for so long, who knows what you two did inside.”

No sooner had she finished speaking than a large knife flew towards her. The knife sliced ​​off a stray hair near her ear, which Lu Yinheng caught.

He said in an icy voice, "If you dare to slander my wife again, it won't be as simple as just cutting your hair."

After saying that, he coldly sheathed his knife and distanced himself from Sister-in-law Hu.

When he met Ji Yunshuang's grateful gaze, he turned his head away somewhat uncomfortably, thinking to himself that he wasn't trying to protect her; he was just trying to prevent the image of their mother in their children's eyes from being too unpleasant.

Hu Da Sao was already limp and collapsed on the ground like a lump of mud.

The knife Lu Yinheng had just thrown reminded her of the ruthless methods the couple had used to deal with the robbers during their escape.

How could she have gotten so confused, forgetting how terrible the two of them were, and actually started gossiping about that evil god along with the Sun family's daughter-in-law?

At this moment, Sister-in-law Sun was also trembling with fear, sweating profusely as she touched her neck.

"Where refugees are placed is determined by the officials after weighing the different circumstances of each family. What you just said is not only an insult to my character, but also an insult to the officials."

Ji Yunshuang's eyes flashed like lightning as she looked at the two of them with cold and sharp eyes, but her words were spoken in a tone that showed she didn't care about their behavior and was instead patiently instructing them: "If this goes to the authorities, they will be punished with a beating and sentenced."

If you feel it's unfair to assign you to Weisha Village, you are free to beat the drum and appeal, demanding that the officials publicly announce and explain the refugee resettlement arrangements to the people. But you cannot insult the officials, understand?

Two men in brocade robes watched this scene unfold from a distance.

One of the men, dressed in a brocade robe with cloud patterns, tapped his palm repeatedly with a folding fan, saying with great interest, "Unbelievable! There's such a remarkable woman among the refugees. This trip has definitely been worthwhile!"

Another man, dressed in a royal blue brocade robe with gold thread embroidered on the cuffs, gazed intently at Lu Yinheng.

After the man finished speaking and received no response for a long time, he turned to meet Fu's gaze and said, "Brother Fu, you've taken a liking to that man's skills. Should I have someone recruit him?"

Fu Ci raised his hand to stop him, saying, "No rush!"

Seeing this, Wei Shizhan said no more. His gaze returned to Ji Yunshuang.

The Hu and Sun families were already terrified by Ji Yunshuang's words. They regretted their previous mistake and dared not go to the officials to reason with them.

The two families fled like drowning dogs with their tails between their legs.

Ji Yunshuang wasn't in the mood to kick a man when he was down.

She frowned, looking warily in the direction of Fu Ci and Xie Shizhan, her gaze finally settling precisely on the two of them.

She had long sensed that someone was watching her from the shadows.

This gaze was different from that of the onlookers around her; it carried the disdain and judgment of someone in a superior position, making her feel inexplicably dangerous.

Meeting Ji Yunshuang's gaze, Fu Ci's lips curled into a playful smile.

Ji Yunshuang rolled her eyes inwardly, then turned and took Xiaoyuzhu's hand, saying, "Are you hungry? What do you want to eat? Mother will buy it for you."

Lu Yuzhu shook her head and said, "Zhuzhu just ate the shredded pork that Mother made, and I'm not hungry at all. The shredded pork that Mother makes is especially delicious!"

When Ji Yunshuang made shredded beef in lantern shadow, she made two flavors. One was with chili peppers, but the other was made without chili peppers to take care of the children.

Hearing her daughter's praise, she was happy and said, "Once we're settled, Mommy will cook for you again. Besides shredded beef with shredded pork, I'll cook lots and lots of other delicious dishes for you."

Lu Yuzhu smiled, her eyes crinkling into crescent moons, and said sweetly, "Mother is so good."

Ji Yunshuang is also full of anticipation for the future.

For ten years after the apocalypse, she lived a life of constant wandering. Compared to the naive and immature Xiao Yuzhu, she longed for a stable life.

She pondered what the family would need and began purchasing it with the money.

For foodies, the most important thing is of course a big iron pot and all kinds of food. Besides that, the first thing to solve is the quilt and other things needed for sleeping.

There were so many things to buy that Ji Yunshuang simply rented an oxcart and loaded each item onto it as she bought it.

However, they were worried that arriving too late would affect their residency application, so they didn't dare to wander around the streets.

After a quick shopping trip, everyone hurriedly headed towards Shuanghe Village.

Sitting on the oxcart, watching the city walls gradually recede into the distance, Ji Yunshuang felt a pang of regret.

She hasn't had a chance to fully experience this quaint and ancient city yet!

But thinking that Shuanghe Village was not far from Hongdu and that it would be easy to come to the city, Ji Yunshuang's regret disappeared.
