While bandaging her wound, Jiang Yun muttered to herself, "Well, it's a good thing your dad and your brother came here together. With such aim, the bullet only hit the leg. It must be your brother."

Lin Jinyue stared at the chicks, her mouth watering.

It wasn't that she was greedy; it was just that her body had been malnourished for a long time, lacking everything, and she wanted to eat everything.

The system store currently only offers the most basic rice, flour, and vegetable seeds, and the variety is very limited, including only cabbage, bok choy, eggplant, and pumpkin.

Lin Jinyue swallowed hard and looked away.

Now that I've been transported to this era of war and famine, I'm already grateful to have even a bite to eat. I mustn't cause any more trouble for my parents and brother.

If you raise these chicks and rabbits for a while, they'll be ready to eat in about a month, depending on the time flow in the farm space.

Just bear with it, just bear with it a little longer.

Lin Jinyue prepared rabbit hutches and chicken coops in the space before coming out with Jiang Yun.

The two gathered some useful medicinal herbs outside and returned to the cave together.

When they returned, they discovered that Lin Shucheng had brought back a pheasant.

Lin Jinyue's eyes lit up.

Lin Shucheng said in a low voice, "This pheasant was hunted in front of the villagers, let's eat it first."

Lin Jinyue had been craving meat for a long time, and when she heard that pheasant was edible, she quickly said, "Chicken stew with mushrooms, and spicy diced chicken too!"

Lin Shucheng picked up the cleaver. He doesn't cook often, so it took him a lot of effort to prepare the chicken. He separated the meaty parts and stir-fried them with chili peppers, while the bones were stewed with mushrooms.

Unfortunately, there are no potatoes available in the game, and the system shop is not unlocked either.

However, Lin Jinyue was already satisfied as long as she had meat to eat.

People who had been looking for food outside gradually returned. They had been busy for most of the day and had only found some sweet potatoes, wild fruits, and white radishes that Lin Jinyue had said she would use to make provisions for guarding the mountain.

If you're lucky, you might even find a couple of wild eggs.

That's all.

As for pheasants, forget about it; without the crossbow bolts, you definitely couldn't catch them.

The group was so hungry they were practically gnawing on tree bark. If Jiang Yun hadn't stopped them, they really would have eaten clay.

In recent years, there has been little rain and poor harvests, so many people have gone into the mountains to catch pheasants and rabbits. Those who haven't been caught are all very clever, and it's just that Lin Laosan was lucky enough to hit the target.

Even a hunter might not be able to catch it.

They were still worried about what to do on their journey of fleeing famine when they came in and smelled a meaty aroma. They didn't know what seasonings were used, but it smelled so good that it made their mouths water.

A group of people stared at Lin Jinyue's family, just watching.

They still have that much sense of propriety.

Seeing that it was still early outside, Lin Shucheng took out the fish basket: "Tiezhu taught me this. He said he saw it in a book. You put some mixed grain cakes in it, and some small fish will come. If you're lucky, you can catch a big fish for a meal. Even if it's a small fish, you can make a fish soup to nourish your body."

A group of people were extremely grateful to their family.

Lin Shucheng waved his hand, "No need, it's just a matter of borrowing a fish basket."

Jiang Yun's cooking skills were quite good, and she was generous with the seasonings. The fragrant spicy chicken cubes were ready, and the cave was filled with the aroma of chicken, which was truly tempting.

The family of four sat there, enjoying their meal immensely.

Especially since they'd been eating nothing but steamed buns and dumplings all this time, this was a welcome treat.

But then, someone who didn't know any better came back.

Lin Youliang returned with his two sons and several grandsons. They could smell the delicious aroma from afar, and upon closer inspection, they realized it was made by Lin Laosan's wife.

He was somewhat surprised. He had gone out and gained almost nothing but a few radishes. The whole family could finish them in two more days if they were careful with their diet.

As for handing the radishes over to Lin Jinyue, that little brat is impulsive and only the village's fools would be willing to hand them over; his family wouldn't allow it.

Besides, he is Lin Jinyue's grandfather and Jiang's father-in-law.

What good will signing a letter of severance do?

Does signing a contract mean he's no longer the third child's biological father?

Lin Youliang thought about it more and more and felt that he was right. The village chief even said to use clan law. How could clan law be used when a father asks his son for a sip of food?

Lin Youliang led the men of his family over aggressively, saying, "Third son, how can you be so unfilial? Watching your own father go hungry while you eat your fill of meat and fish, how can you be so selfish? Is this how I raised you?"

Lin Jinyue wasn't going to put up with him: "If you want to eat, you'd better figure it out yourselves. You've already signed the dissolution of the marriage agreement, so why are you still shamelessly coming over?"

Lin Youliang's face was very ugly. "Who gave you the right to speak? I should have just sold you out in the first place. Third brother, how did you raise Erya? You have no manners at all..."

Before he could speak, Lin Shucheng interrupted him directly: "What's wrong with my daughter? She spent all night thinking about how to keep everyone from going hungry. She even came up with a way to make crossbows and taught me how to make fish baskets. Right now, everyone is still borrowing our fish baskets!"

"What, isn't helping you come up with a solution enough? You're also eyeing my daughter's food? You want to steal the meat from her bowl?"

People nearby rushed over and said it was none of their business.

Taking advantage of her young age, Lin Jinyue acted shamelessly: "You guys are all in cahoots, otherwise they would only be a hindrance. Why do we have to include them? If he wants to cling to our family in the future, you'll definitely have to help him. Dad, how come he can still come back after we signed the severance agreement? Does that mean the severance agreement we signed in front of the villagers doesn't count?"

Lin Jinyue pondered for a moment, "Since it doesn't count, let's go our separate ways from now on. Dad, I'm afraid Grandpa will sell me again."

Lin Jinyue's childish words really scared these people.

Putting everything else aside, everyone on this journey of fleeing famine has some injuries or illnesses. They rely on Jiang Yun to help them get treatment, not to mention that they also have the clever and mischievous Lin Jinyue to help them find ways to make sure they all have enough to eat.

So one by one, they all distanced themselves from Lin Youliang:

"Hey, third brother, don't talk nonsense. We're not on your father's side. We're definitely on your side. Look at Tiezhu and Erya, they've helped us so much. We're not as shameless as Uncle Youliang."

"That's right. We're so grateful to you for surviving, how could we be ungrateful?"

"You have grain? No offense, but we've already signed a written agreement severing ties, so why are you still shamelessly coming over? Why are the eldest and second eldest useless, and all you can do is bully the third eldest?"

"I have to say something about that..."

A group of people pointed and whispered about Lin Youliang, without Lin Jinyue even needing to say anything.

Lin Jinyue happily ate her spicy chicken cubes while watching the group of people arguing. Lin Youliang's family was unable to defend themselves and was even blamed by everyone.

Sure enough, everyone becomes more proactive when their own interests are involved. Lin Jinyue has already stated that if Lin Youliang's family continues to bother them, they will go their separate ways from now on.

Presumably, Lin Youliang will not dare to act recklessly in the days to come.
