I'm speechless. How dare they say something like that?

[What an awful relative! The streamer is so pitiful; she needs to be taught a lesson!]

[That's right! Otherwise, if every distant relative comes along today, and every other relative comes tomorrow, the anchor's life will be miserable!]

As soon as Zhao Jinfeng said that, several villagers around her became unhappy and gathered around.

"What 'second aunt' and 'third aunt'? We didn't see you when the fortune teller was having a hard time, but now that there's meat to eat, you're all eagerly coming over. Aren't you ashamed?"

"That's right, get out of here!"

The villagers chimed in with their own opinions, clearly furious at Zhao Jinfeng's words and actions.

This meat was from the half-immortal's own reserves, meant to feed the entire village. Why should this woman of unknown origin enjoy it?

Zhao Jinfeng was surprised that her words would elicit so many rebuttals, and her face immediately paled.

She gritted her teeth and continued, "Heh, this is our family matter, what does it have to do with you? Besides, I am her elder, isn't it only natural to be filial to one's elders?"

Listening to her endless sophistry, the villagers became enraged and immediately rolled up their sleeves, ready to take action.

Upon seeing this, Zhao Jinfeng screamed, "What are you doing? Help! Murder!"

She was a typical scoundrel, and the villagers were furious, but no one could do anything about her.

Zhao Jinfeng looked smugly at the silent villagers, raised her chin, turned her head, and pointed at Xu Nian, saying, "You've lived this long thanks to our relief efforts. Now, it's only natural for me to ask for some food."

As she spoke, she couldn't wait to look down at the pork that had been scalded by hot water, and her mouth watered.

Regardless of where Xu Nian got the meat from, it's all his now!

Just as Zhao Jinfeng was immersed in her sweet dream, Xu Nian scoffed, a mocking smile curling at the corner of her lips, "Who are you, ma'am?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Jinfeng's expression froze on her face. She said incredulously, "What are you saying? I am your second aunt, Zhao Jinfeng! Have you lost your memory?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Nian's smile became even more sarcastic. "I, Xu Nian, have lived for so long, and the only relatives I still have in this world are my two younger brothers. Naturally, I will give all the good things to my relatives."

As for you—

After a pause, Xu Nian slightly raised her eyes, "An old woman of unknown origin who suddenly appeared dares to claim to be my relative, how ridiculous!"

After hearing Xu Nian's words, Zhao Jinfeng's face turned ashen, and she pointed at her tremblingly, "You, you!"

"What do you mean, 'I'? I'm practically half-buried in the ground, yet I still stutter like a child. I'm ashamed of myself."

Xu Nian had no intention of giving Zhao Jinfeng a pleasant look, and her words were full of sharp sarcasm.

[This streamer is really good at cursing! Curse that bitch to death!]

Looking at this huge face makes me want to throw up.

[After doing such outrageous things before, they still have the nerve to ask for food? Pah!]

Zhao Jinfeng blushed as Xu Nian spoke, but she couldn't utter a single word in rebuttal. She stammered for a long time, her face full of shame.

The villagers could tell that Zhao Jinfeng had come to cause trouble on purpose, and immediately joined in the mockery, saying, "Get lost, you're a disgrace!"

The commotion was quite loud. Gu Zhan saw it from afar, frowned, and got up to go over and help.

But as he approached, the once arrogant and domineering Zhao Jinfeng had already covered her face and slunk away.

Gu Zhan raised an eyebrow, noticing Xu Nian's slightly smug expression, and asked in a deep voice, "What happened just now?"

"Oh, it's nothing. That woman was my second aunt. I had two younger brothers with me before, and life was very difficult. She kicked us out when we were fleeing famine, and we ended up staying here after going through many twists and turns."

Xu Nian, fiddling with the meat in the pot, casually explained the reason behind it.

She wasn't the original owner of this body and hadn't experienced such painful times.

However, based on the bits and pieces of her memory, she could guess what the original owner's thin body had gone through, so Xu Nian would definitely not give Zhao Jinfeng a kind look.

After hearing the reason, Gu Zhan's eyes darkened considerably. He wanted to speak several times, but he didn't know what to say to comfort Xu Nian.

"Oh well, that's all in the past now~"

Xu Nian, with her sharp eyes, noticed that Gu Zhan was a little embarrassed. She patted his shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I'm fine. Do you want to stay and eat with us later? It's delicious."

Looking at her lively and bright smile, Gu Zhan felt inexplicably comfortable and nodded without hesitation.

Seeing that the meat was almost cooked, Xu Nian called out loudly, "Da Bao, Er Bao, time to eat!"

Da Bao and Er Bao immediately ran out from the back of the village, grinning as they prepared to eat.

The enticing aroma of the hot pot meat made everyone's mouths water, but no one took the first bite. Instead, they all looked at Xu Nian, who was taking care of Da Bao and Er Bao.

"Look at you, all covered in dust and dirt."

Xu Nian patted the dust off Da Bao and Er Bao, turned her head and saw everyone's eyes were on her. She was taken aback at first, then said loudly, "Don't be shy, everyone just enjoy your meal."

As soon as she finished speaking, everyone excitedly began to eat dinner.

The aroma of the meat wafted far and wide, making people in the neighboring village extremely envious, and they couldn't help but swallow.

They had been traveling for a long time, and they had to be careful with their food, let alone meat. They wished they could split every grain in half to eat. Now that they saw Xu Nian leading everyone to eat meat, it would be a lie to say they weren't envious.

Yang Chunhua also smelled the aroma of meat. She glanced at the group of people laughing and chatting in the distance, then looked at the meager steamed bun in her hand, and sighed almost imperceptibly.

"That damned Xu Nian!"

Before Yang Chunhua could finish eating, Zhao Jinfeng stormed into the house, her face full of anger, clearly looking furious.

"Look at you, what's wrong?"

Yang Chunhua had actually heard some noises earlier, but seeing Zhao Jinfeng's reaction, she immediately went along with what she was saying.

"It's all that damned little bitch's fault! She humiliated me in public and even laughed so happily!"

Zhao Jinfeng's face was full of resentment, her nails almost digging into her palms.

Just then, she smelled an alluring fragrance coming from afar and heard Xu Nian chatting lightly with someone, and immediately hatred welled up in her heart.

She cursed Xu Nian in her heart, but suddenly paused, as if she had thought of a good idea, and a smug smile appeared on her face.

"Third sister, I have a good idea that will allow us all to eat and drink well."

"As long as we..."
