Just then, a sweet, delicate voice came from afar, and Old Lady Zhu also came out of her reverie.

Everyone looked over at the sound and saw Zhu Yanyan walking over with a smile, carrying a basket in her hand.

When Mrs. Sun saw her cousin coming over, she greeted her with a smile, "Yan Yan, is your aunt feeling better?"

"No! My health has deteriorated again, sigh!" Zhu Yanyan sighed and put the empty basket aside, sat on the rock, and turned to look at Zhu Xixi in Old Lady Zhu's arms.

"Hey, why is Xixi still here? Haven't you given her away yet? She takes up a portion of the rations in the team, and Father has lost weight lately."

Zhu Yanyan was surprised that Zhu Xixi was still in the camp, and her words were alluding to Old Lady Zhu.

Xi Xi was furious when she saw Zhu Yan Yan's smiling tiger-like appearance. If it weren't for Zhu Yan Yan's suggestion, she would have been sent to the cannibal by her family.

[You jerk, it's none of your business. Mind your own business and stay away from my family.]

Xixi's family is easy to talk to, but Xixi herself is not an easy child to talk to.

Sun also found this question strange, and her face darkened as she turned to look at her mother-in-law.

Upon hearing this, Old Mrs. Zhu raised her head with a cold face and replied indifferently, "Your Zinan isn't that old, why don't you give him away?"

Zhu Yanyan was surprised by what Old Lady Zhu would say, and the words she was about to say stuck in her throat. She managed to force a smile.

"My little brother doesn't drink milk! Doesn't Xixi need to drink milk? Auntie, I mean well, after all, we don't have much food."

Zhu Yanyan forced a fake smile and looked at the cart full of food behind the old woman.

What are you looking at? Trying to steal our food again? You already have two truckloads of food, aren't you satisfied?

[Still eyeing Xixi's family's food, what a greedy and wicked person!]

Following Zhu Yanyan's gaze, Old Lady Zhu turned around and glanced at the cart behind her, sneering, "We can afford to raise Xixi, you don't need to worry about that."

“Aunt, there’s not much food left in your cart, not even enough for us to eat. If you want to share some, I’m afraid no one will agree.”

Zhu Yanyan originally wanted to come over and hint to Old Lady Zhu to divide the rice in the car, but who would have thought that the old lady would become so indecisive.

Grandma Zhu smiled and picked up her granddaughter, then called to her son and daughter-in-law, "Leave two of you to guard the camp, we're going for a stroll in the woods."

"Aunt, why are you going into the woods for no reason?" Zhu Yanyan stood up nervously and quickly stepped forward to stop the old lady. "I heard there are wild animals in the woods, it's best not to go in."

As soon as she finished speaking, Old Lady Zhu walked past Zhu Yanyan and looked behind her. She saw Zhu Borong and Wen Xiuying quietly walking towards the woods.

"If your parents aren't afraid, why should we be?"

After saying that, he ignored Zhu Yanyan's objections, pushed her aside, and led his daughter-in-law and son toward the woods.

Zhu Yanyan was worried that the supplies she took out of her space would be discovered by the Zhu family, so she quickly followed them.

After entering the woods, Old Lady Zhu quietly pointed in the direction of the stream and whispered a few words to Zhu Haotian and Zhu Chenfeng.

Seeing that the two were about to walk towards the stream, Zhu Yanyan quickly jogged to catch up, but unexpectedly, Old Lady Zhu bumped into her.

Zhu Yanyan lost her footing and fell backward, falling to the ground in pain until tears streamed down her face.

"Auntie, why did you bump into me?"

"Oh dear! Yan Yan, are you alright?"

Grandma Zhu pretended not to see anything, suppressed a smile and walked up to Zhu Yanyan, looking apologetic, "I'm sorry, I'm holding my granddaughter, I can't help you."

Zhu Yanyan had no choice but to sit on the ground, enduring the pain, and was unable to get up for a long time.

A moment later, Zhu Haowen and Zhu Chenfeng's joyful voices could be heard as the two of them ran over carrying several large fish.

"Mom, there are fish, lots of fish."

"It really is!"

Grandma Zhu pretended to be surprised and turned around to look at Zhu Yanyan, only to see that she was stomping her feet in anger and her face had turned black.

"Go get a bamboo basket and catch all the fish."

"Yes, Mother!"

Zhu Haotian handed the bass he was carrying to Zhu Chenfeng and jogged towards the camp.

Looking happily at the sea bass that had brought them home, Mrs. Sun came to her mother-in-law's side and said with a smile, "Mother, I'll go and ask my cousin to come and catch some fish too."

[This silly auntie, people have good things but won't share them with you, yet you're always thinking about giving them to this scoundrel?]

[Sigh! No wonder she was eventually sold into slavery by Zhu Yanyan, and even had her hands and feet cut off, forced to beg in the streets.]

Xixi's childish voice made Sun's smile freeze, and she immediately froze on the spot, her legs going weak and almost falling.

What's that sound? It sounds like a baby's voice.

The only baby in this forest is...

She looked at Zhu Xixi with a terrified expression, her face turning pale instantly.

Zhu Yanyan rubbed her spine in pain and reached out to Sun Shi, "Cousin, help me."

"I'll go tell my parents and tell them to hurry up and go fishing too."

【Fishing? You have two truckloads of food, more than you can eat. You're so greedy.】

[Silly auntie, don't be fooled by her.]

The sweet, childlike voice rang out again, and Sun's expression gradually turned sinister as she reached out and pulled Zhu Yanyan up.

Just as Zhu Yanyan was about to get up, she let go of her hand and pretended to be surprised and shouted.

"Oh! I'm so sorry, Yan Yan, I didn't mean to."

"You can rest here! I'll go and inform your uncle."

Old Mrs. Zhu didn't want her daughter-in-law to do anything unnecessary, and just as she was about to stop her, the woman had already turned and left.

[I'm so hungry! Xixi is hungry and wants some soup.]

[I wonder if Mother is awake yet? Xixi wants to go see Mother.]

Grandma Zhu's reminder made her give up trying to stop her daughter-in-law, and she carried her granddaughter back to the camp.

Since Liu was still fast asleep, Old Lady Zhu had no choice but to grab a handful of rice and put it in a pot to cook into rice porridge.

Zhu Dabao, who was playing in the mud, ran over after smelling the aroma, squatted down next to the iron pot, and swallowed hard as he stared at the rice soup inside.

After seeing Zhu Dabao go over, Zhu Zinan also raised his chin and came to the iron pot, pointing at the rice soup and saying.

"I want to drink."

[This little rascal, taking advantage of being a child, killed his second aunt's unborn child.]

[He even caused Da Bao to lose his eyesight; he's a born villain.]

This time, Grandma Zhu heard her granddaughter's voice very clearly, even more clearly than before.

Her family is her bottom line, and no one can cross it.

Grandma Zhu glanced coldly at Zhu Zinan and ignored him. If it were before, she would have given Zhu Zinan the food first.

But ever since she heard her granddaughter's true feelings, she now only feels disgust towards these people.

Grandma Zhu poured the rice water into a bowl and placed it in a large basin filled with water to cool it down. Zhu Zinan, who had given the rice water to himself, reached out and tried to snatch it away.

Seeing this, Old Mrs. Zhu picked up a thin twig and hit Zhu Zinan's hand. "How rude! What kind of upbringing did your parents give you?"

Zhu Zinan clutched her small hand in pain and angrily pointed at Old Lady Zhu, "You old hag, you won't live long anyway, why keep all this rice gruel? In the end, it'll all belong to my family."

Zhu Xiaobao returned carrying a tree branch and overheard Zhu Zinan verbally abusing his grandmother. He kicked Zhu Zinan in the back.

Zhu Borong happened to be returning from the woods. He quickly stepped forward, grabbed Zhu Xiaobao's hand, and slapped him across the face.

"You ill-mannered little beast, who gave you permission to hit someone?"

Zhu Xiaobao lowered his head in grievance, clenching his fists angrily, not daring to refute his uncle's words.

Grandma always defended my cousin, and if he dared to disobey her, my father and mother would definitely punish him.

Zhu Borong was very obedient to Zhu Xiaobao, so he stepped on the back of Zhu Xiaobao's hand, which was lying on the ground, and crushed it back and forth.

"Pah, what are you? How dare you bully me?" Zhu Zinan spat at her just like he used to bully Zhu Xiaobao, tilting his chin up triumphantly. "Today you have to crawl between my legs before I forgive you."

Liu lay on the straw mat with tears in her eyes, watching her son suffer injustice, but there was nothing she could do.
