Armed with a machete and a gun, armed with a system, they fled the famine.

"You shameless slut! You actually know how to come back? Why don't you and your mother just die out there? If you died out there, you'd save me food!"

Hearing the commotion at the front door, Yang Zhangshi flung open the kitchen door and rushed over with her short legs.

Zhao Yan held Yang Xiaomi's hand with her left hand, her eyes flashing wildly as she pretended to be scared, while her right hand held a cleaver, slashing wildly left and right in front of Yang Zhangshi.

"Get out of here! Get out of here! Don't sell my daughter!"

With her large movements, the straw rope binding the firewood on her back suddenly snapped, scattering it all over the ground with a "whoosh".

"Ah! You little whore, are you trying to murder your own mother-in-law? Put the knife down right now!"

Yang Zhangshi's face turned ashen as she cursed and dodged Zhao Yan's wildly swinging cleaver.

Zhao Yan seemed to be deliberately making trouble for Yang Zhangshi, wielding the cleaver with great skill, forcing Yang Zhangshi to hide in the main room before stopping.

"You are not allowed to sell my daughter!"

When it was almost time, she glanced at the main room, left a fierce warning, and pulled her daughter back to the woodshed.

This was just a scare tactic.

If Yang Zhangshi dares to have any wicked thoughts about Xiao Mi again, she won't hesitate to make her see blood.

Yang Zhangshi peeked into the courtyard through the crack in the door. After Zhao Yan and her daughter returned to the house, she suddenly opened the door to the main room and came out.

Her bluish-black face revealed her furious and maddening state of mind.

This is outrageous!

Even a fool would dare to ride roughshod over her.

This silly wife is really outrageous!

Yang Zhangshi gritted her teeth, her heart burning with hatred.

"From now on, we won't be cooking for you two at home! If you think you can eat at the Yang family's house for free, let me tell you, no way!"

Standing far away at the entrance of the main room, Yang Zhangshi gritted her teeth and roared at the woodshed.

Zhao Yan heard Yang Zhangshi's roar from the woodshed and curled her lips indifferently.

If you don't eat, you don't eat.

It's just a thin, clear porridge of wild vegetables, and she doesn't even care about it.

Let Yang Xiaomi sit down on the only wooden bed in the room, and she silently murmurs "pork and soy sauce bun" to herself.

Sure enough, the next second, a big, white, plump steamed bun appeared in her hand.

"Mother, is this another gift from the fairy sister?"

Yang Xiaomi stared intently at the big steamed bun and asked in surprise.

White steamed buns? This is the first time she's ever seen them.

Zhao Yan cut the steamed bun in half, handed one half to Yang Xiaomi, and then secretly poured her half a glass of mineral water.

"Eat up, this is dinner tonight. Eat well so you can sleep better."

The two of them had eaten and drunk a lot on the mountain in the afternoon, so they weren't very hungry now. They each had half a steamed bun to tide them over, so they wouldn't be hungry and unable to sleep in the middle of the night.

"Mmm, Mom, you eat too."

The large meat buns emitted an enticing aroma. Yang Xiaomi held the buns tightly in her small hands and ate them bite by bite.

After taking a bite, she squinted her eyes in blissful enjoyment, her expression one of pure bliss.

[Ding! One hundred more pork and soy sauce buns have been added!]

[Ding! One hundred more bottles of Kangjia mineral water have been added!]

Looking at the extra large meat buns and mineral water in the space, Zhao Yan smiled happily and swallowed half of the bun in a few bites.

yard.

Chen Lan silently gathered the scattered firewood and brought it back to the kitchen. Just as she finished, Yang Dalang and Yang Erlang returned carrying hoes.

Three little ones followed behind.

Yang Tieniu from Yang Erlang's family would snuggle into his grandmother's arms as soon as he saw her.

"Grandma, I'm thirsty, can I have a sip of water?"

Seeing that Yang Tieniu's face was red from the sun, Yang Zhangshi felt sorry for him and went back into the house to bring him a small bowl of warm water.

Upon seeing this, Yang Tieniu took the small bowl and buried his head in it, drinking it down in a frenzy.

"Plop plop—"

He finished the small bowl of boiled water in one gulp.

Yang Dazhuang and Yang Erniu, who were standing nearby, kept licking their dry, cracked lips.

So thirsty.

They also really wanted a drink of water.

Yang Erlang and his wife had already run to the kitchen, and one of them picked up a pot of water that had cooled down on the stove and started drinking it.

Yang Dalang took the water from Chen Lan and was about to drink it when he saw this and waved to his two sons.

"Dazhuang, Erniu, come on, drink Dad's first."

Chenjiagou originally had three wells, located at the east end, north end, and center of the village.

However, due to the drought in recent years, the well at the east end of the village stopped producing water last year.

Upon seeing this, the village chief hurriedly convened a meeting and stipulated that from now on, each household would fetch water based on the number of people in their household.

The Yang family has ten members, and the daily water supply is also based on the needs of ten people.

Now that Zhao Yan and her daughter have thoroughly offended Yang Zhangshi, Yang Zhangshi is not going to give them their share of water, so she might as well let Yang Tieniu benefit from it.

After drinking the water, Yang Zhangshi called everyone to go to the main room for dinner.

Chen Lan was worried that Zhao Yan and her daughter were starving and might suffer from something serious, so she braced herself and asked her mother-in-law, "Mother, what about Third Brother's wife...?"

"What third sister-in-law? You won't have a third sister-in-law from now on!"

Before Chen Lan could finish speaking, Yang Zhangshi interrupted her.

Her dark eyes swept across everyone's faces, and she said in a serious and cold tone, "Anyone who dares to secretly give those two little whores food and drink, don't blame me for turning ruthless!"

After coldly finishing her statement, she turned and went back to the main room.

Chen Lan was stunned and speechless until Yang Dalang tugged at her sleeve, at which point she lowered her head and went to the stove to eat.

That's it.

She has said what she needed to say; the rest is up to fate for Zhao Yan and her daughter.

Zhao Yan did hear the harsh words that Yang Zhangshi shouted in the courtyard.

However, she didn't take it to heart.

After finishing the big meat bun, she took Yang Xiaomi for a walk in the cramped woodshed for a while before going to bed early.

She woke up on the wooden bed before dawn the next day.

Rubbing her aching lower back, she cursed inwardly.

What a wicked mother-in-law!

All he does is bully the stupid original owner and Yang Xiaomi.

Look at this awful place!

The woodshed was hastily built, with most of the space used to store firewood and miscellaneous items. Only a small, broken wooden bed was placed near the window.

The mattress on the bed was hard and thin, and the surface was covered with a layer of dirty oil stains.

Zhao Yan slept with the smell of brain oil all night. When she woke up, she quickly rolled up the dirty mattress and threw it into the pile of odds and ends.

make money!

I have to make money today!

As soon as she made the money, she bought a new mattress to put on the bed.

She refused to sleep on the tattered, hard mattress, which reeked of grease.
