Lin Yinan glanced at her sideways, ignored her words, walked past Lin Qiutao, and continued walking towards the Yun family camp.

Seeing that Lin Yinan ignored her, Lin Qiutao became even more arrogant and said even more vicious things.

"He appears aloof on the surface, but secretly he's having an affair with someone else. The bastard in his belly doesn't even know whose child it is. Young Master Yun is kind-hearted, which is why he was deceived by you."

Lin Yinan paused, turned to look at her face, which was twisted with jealousy, and sneered after looking her up and down, "Someone like you, with no figure, no looks, and such a stupid brain, what man would want you?"

"You, you..."

Lin Qiutao pointed at her, too angry to speak for a long time.

Finally, carrying the basket, he flicked his sleeve, threw out a sentence, "You have no shame!" and turned to run away.

These words will not cause Lin Yinan any trouble or harm; she is not the kind of person who cares about other people's opinions and evaluations.

Out of courtesy, Lin Yinan went to the mica tent first, but the guards said she was in the children's tent.

When she arrived at the tent where the children were being housed, she could hear Yunying soothing the children through the curtain.

"Mother, why does she keep crying?" The tone was full of helplessness.

"Come, let me see."

Yunmu took the child from Yunying's arms. When she looked up and saw Lin Yinan walking in through the curtain, her eyes lit up and her face lit up with joy.

"Anan is here!"

"Mother." Lin Yinan didn't dwell on it too much; she knew the proper etiquette.

Yunmu held her hand with one hand and the child in the other. The child stopped crying as soon as Lin Yinan came in.

Upon seeing this, Yunying exclaimed, "Mother, look! As soon as my third sister-in-law came, she stopped crying!"

When the little girl saw Lin Yinan, her big eyes, still wet from crying, snorted out a snot bubble and reached out her hand to Lin Yinan from her yam.

"hug!"

Lin Yinan's heart softened, and she looked at Yunmu, "Can I hug her?"

Seeing that she genuinely liked the child, Yunmu carefully placed her in her arms, supporting the little girl's feet to prevent her from kicking Lin Yinan's stomach.

"Be careful she doesn't kick your stomach."

Lin Yinan took out a handkerchief and wiped her face clean. The little girl obediently nestled on her shoulder, just as she used to nestle on her father's back. But things had changed. Now the little girl was so thin that only her big eyes remained. She was light and frail, with hardly any flesh on her body, and all she could see under her clothes was bone.

She still has a lot of baby formula she stockpiled before the apocalypse in her space. If she feeds the child carefully, maybe the child can survive.

After thinking for a moment, Lin Yinan said to Yunmu, "Mother, this child is destined for me. I want to take her home and raise her."

Yunmu understood what she meant. This child would cry every day when she woke up, hardly eat anything, and would vomit even when forced to eat. They really didn't know what to do with her.

"But you are pregnant now, so you shouldn't overexert yourself."

Although Yunmu was kind-hearted, she distinguished between close and distant relatives, and she did not want this child to implicate her unborn grandson.

Lin Yinan still wanted to save this poor little life, saying, "I know my own body; I won't force it."

Yunying desperately wanted the little girl to survive, so she pleaded with Yun's mother.

“Mother, why don’t my third sister-in-law and I take care of her together? That way, my third sister-in-law won’t be too tired.”

In the end, Yunmu had no choice but to agree to their demands.

Before Lin Yinan left, Yunmu took a small box out of the trunk and handed it to her.

“Anan, I’m so sorry to have to marry Mo’er under these circumstances. Keep the things in this little box. When we get to the South, I’ll make up for the formalities you need to observe.”

Mica's eyes were kind and gentle, making Lin Yinan unable to refuse.

Yunying carried the child back to the camp with Lin Yinan. The little girl didn't cry or fuss at all on the way and was very well-behaved.

Grandma Zhao opened her mouth, but in the end she only said, "They are all unfortunate people," and then stopped caring.

Lin Yinan named the little girl Lin Zhiyan.

Good news finally came from the camp: half of the sick people had recovered under the treatment of Doctor Lü and Yun Wu, leaving only the three elderly members of the Lin family.

After thorough investigation, no infections were found in the camp, so their infection was simply due to exhaustion from the long journey and being caught in the rain.

After discussing it, the Yun brothers decided to continue their journey early tomorrow morning.

Having eliminated the plague, Yunmu decided to invite Lin Yinan's family to a meal, and the two families officially became in-laws.

Yun Mo took Yun Er and Yun Qi into the deep mountains and brought back two wild boars and a roe deer.

The two families sat around two tables that had been temporarily set up with handcarts for their meal. There wasn't even a decent chair. Having witnessed the grand weddings of his two older brothers, Yun Mo felt a pang of sadness.

He looked up at Lin Yinan, who was carefully feeding Lin Zhiyan across from him, and realized that he really owed her a lot.

Yun Mo secretly made up his mind that he would never let her down in this lifetime!

After lunch, when they left the Yun family's house, the village chief asked Lin Fu to inform all the villagers that the three elderly people who had fallen ill had finally succumbed to their illness and passed away one after another.

Along the way, aside from those who got separated from the villagers or were killed by bandits, this was the first time an elderly person in the village had died of natural causes.

The Linjia Village camp fell into a somber atmosphere again. They had left their homes and died without even a coffin. They were hastily buried wrapped in a tattered mat.

Grandma Zhao was affected; she sat alone in the tent, lost in thought, ignoring anyone who tried to talk to her.

Lin Yinan sat down next to her, put her arms around her waist, and comforted her, "Don't worry, I will protect you and won't let you die. You are my child's great-grandmother. Now that I'm married into the Yun family, I've heard that the Yun family is a noble family in the south. If you don't offer me advice in the future, do you expect my mother to help me?"

Grandma Zhao glanced at Li Shulan, who was sitting at the tent entrance mending clothes, and curled her lips in disdain. "All she knows how to do is cry when something happens. What good is she?"

When Li Shulan looked up and saw the disdain in the old lady's eyes, she turned her head away, feeling a little embarrassed.

Lin Yinan felt that was enough, so she added another strong dose.

“My brother will definitely pursue a career in government in the future. Can my second uncle help him make decisions?”

Following her line of thought, Old Mrs. Zhao reasoned that Lin Shuo and his wife were all strength and no brains, and their children hadn't received much education, so what ideas could they possibly have?

Seeing her eyes flicker, Lin Yinan said casually, "I just saw Qianwu cooking, so I added a little extra rice. Chunni's mother is going to chop up the pig leg that the Yun family sent at noon. Great! We'll have meat tonight."

Now, Old Mrs. Zhao couldn't sit still any longer. She put on her shoes and hurriedly went out, bringing with her a cool breeze.

Li Shulan put away the basket and came in, pointing her finger at Lin Yinan's forehead.

"You! You always know how to coax your grandma."

"Mother, we haven't even reached the South yet, and my brother hasn't grown up. Grandma still has to hold this family together," Lin Yinan said gently, stroking her belly.

Grandma Zhao stood outside the tent, her eyes red-rimmed.

This girl is so sweet; her words are so endearing!

"Everyone, be on guard! Someone's coming!" The guard on lookout duty shouted as he ran around the camp.

Hearing the commotion, the village chief came out with a gong and stopped the guards, asking, "What happened?"

"A group of people has come up the path from Dingshan City. We don't know if they are friend or foe!"
