Once they were back on the road, Xu Nian and the others were no longer in a state of embarrassment, and everyone felt extremely at ease.

When Xu Nian left Licheng, she took a group of people with her. These were people she had personally trained and who had voluntarily left Licheng.

At the same time, they also took plenty of food in case of emergency.

"It looks like we'll be passing through a village ahead."

The village chief handed the map to Xu Nian and pointed to a place marked with an X not far away, saying, "That place has been dilapidated for a long time, but it can still serve as a temporary resting place."

Upon hearing this, Xu Nian thought it was a good idea and immediately led the main force to prepare to go there.

After an unknown amount of time, the sky began to shimmer with the colors of dusk, and Xu Nian noticed the cluster of thatched huts standing not far away, so she stopped in her tracks.

"Let's stay here tonight."

Hearing this, no one objected. They all picked up their belongings and prepared to find a place to rest in the small village.

But as they got there, they suddenly heard the sound of footsteps in the distance, followed by a large group of people in dark figures walking over.

They were all emaciated and dark-skinned, and appeared to be refugees traveling the same route.

Xu Nian didn't give too many instructions, as encountering refugees from other villages on the road was perfectly normal.

But just as she was preparing to cook dinner, a sharp and sarcastic female voice suddenly came from the side.

"Xu Nian?"

Upon hearing the voice, Xu Nian looked up and saw an arrogant middle-aged woman, and immediately frowned.

Does she know this person?

After carefully searching through the original owner's memories, Xu Nian finally found such a person.

Zhao Jinfeng, Xu Nian's second aunt.

From a young age, he disliked the three siblings extremely. When they fled famine, he abandoned Xu Nian and her two younger brothers against the wishes of many relatives, claiming it was for their own good.

This memory also surfaced in the minds of the viewers in the live stream, and they immediately erupted in excitement.

[Holy crap, what kind of awful relative is this? The streamer's luck is just too bad.]

Don't pay any attention to her! People like her deserve to starve!

Look at her sharp and sarcastic manner; it's just unlucky to look at.

Thinking about it, Xu Nian's eyes turned cold, and she took a few steps back imperceptibly, showing no intention of paying any attention to Zhao Jinfeng.

That's ridiculous. How could Xu Nian possibly give this woman a friendly look after how she treated her and her brother before?

Why aren't you saying anything?

Zhao Jinfeng sized Xu Nian up and down with a sidelong glance, and said impatiently, "Why are you here too? Did you come looking for me? I told you not to come..."

"Your face is too big."

Before Zhao Jinfeng could finish speaking, Xu Nian interrupted her, glancing at her disdainfully, "Why would I look for you in this pathetic state? To starve you?"

Her voice wasn't loud, but it wasn't quiet either; it was loud enough for everyone around to hear.

Immediately, someone who loved watching the drama burst out laughing, "Yeah, you think too highly of yourself, hahaha!"

Zhao Jinfeng's face immediately turned bright red, and she pointed at Xu Nian, who had a cold expression, and said, "Look at you, how can you talk like that? I was just worried about you, and this is how you treat me!"

Taking advantage of her age, she decided to act like a scoundrel, shouting, "People from your village, come and see what she's up to!"

This sound quickly attracted the attention of the villagers in Xu Nian Village. They strode over and, seeing that Xu Nian was being entangled with Zhao Jinfeng, were immediately dissatisfied.

"What are you doing, dragging a fortune teller along?"

"That's right, let go of me now, or don't blame us for making you regret it!"

The villagers had long regarded Xu Nian as the backbone of the group, so they couldn't allow people from other villages to disturb him like this. Immediately, several burly men stepped forward.

They surrounded Zhao Jinfeng from both sides, their faces menacing, and said, "If you don't leave, don't blame us for taking action!"

Zhao Jinfeng was nothing more than a woman who loved to talk; she had never seen such a scene before. She immediately shrank back several steps and stopped saying a word.

Seeing this, the surrounding villagers surrounded Xu Nian and asked with concern, "Are you alright? Who is that rogue woman?"

"It's nothing, I'm sorry to have worried you."

Xu Nian was extremely satisfied with the villagers' reaction and actions, and said with a soft smile, "Don't bother with her, she's just a distant relative. We'll have dinner together later."

Upon hearing this, the villagers exchanged glances and excitedly agreed.

Although Zhao Jinfeng was driven far away, she clearly saw their movements and was extremely surprised to see Xu Nian being praised so highly.

Xu Nian was just a weak woman, at most she could be considered beautiful, how could she make so many people in the village listen to her?

Zhao Jinfeng had many questions in her mind, but when she thought of the men's fierce appearance, she felt discouraged and reluctantly returned to her resting place.

"Second sister, you just now..."

As soon as Zhao Jinfeng entered, a woman came to greet her. Her coarse clothes were relatively clean, and she had a hesitant look on her face.

This is Xu Nian's third aunt, named Yang Chunhua. She is weak and follows the crowd. When Xu Nian was abandoned, she didn't utter a sound.

"Hehe, don't even mention it!"

Hearing Yang Chunhua ask this question, Zhao Jinfeng was so angry that she gritted her teeth and waved her hand, "I just saw Xu Nian, but I only talked to her for a few minutes before the people from her village chased me back."

Upon hearing this, Yang Chunhua roughly guessed the reason for the matter.

Having known Zhao Jinfeng for so many years, Yang Chunhua naturally knew that the truth was not as simple as she claimed, and that Zhao Jinfeng must have provoked Xu Nian first.

Thinking of this, Yang Chunhua's eyes lit up, and she said with a smile, "Don't get angry with that little kid, it's not worth it."

She always adhered to the principle of "the less trouble, the better" in her dealings with people, so she naturally intended to persuade Zhao Jinfeng to calm down.

"Holding a grudge?"

Zhao Jinfeng was immediately jolted awake. "I tried to speak to her kindly, but I was treated like this. Who can swallow this insult?"

She spoke passionately, completely unaware that she was the one who provoked Xu Nian first.

Seeing this, Yang Chunhua pursed her lips almost imperceptibly, stopped trying to persuade her, and took out the cold steamed buns she had tucked into her bosom, preparing to make dinner.

Zhao Jinfeng grew angrier the more she thought about it. Seeing Yang Chunhua preparing to eat, she immediately came up with a plan and snorted coldly, "Ha!"

"No matter what, I am her second aunt, so it's not unreasonable for me to ask for some food!"

After saying that, she stood up arrogantly and strode towards Xu Nian.

When Zhao Jinfeng arrived at their pot, she was immediately shocked by what she saw.

The pot was a bright red mess, and it was all meat!

Zhao Jinfeng revealed a greedy look, without thinking carefully about where the meat came from, and grabbed Xu Nian.

"I'm your second aunt, this meal is rightfully yours to be served to me!"
