The south is the direction the Lu family came from when they fled the famine.
Now that they've finally made it this far, and now they have to drag their families back, Luo Taohua is the first one who doesn't want to.
But Jiang Tangtang seemed particularly unapproachable today, and her father-in-law had a cold expression, so she didn't dare to voice her objections.
The other members of the Lu family were also in low spirits.
Jiang Tangtang didn't care whether everyone was happy or not. She just sat on the oxcart, frowning as she surveyed the surrounding terrain.
She remembered that the book said that the Lu family found Lu Shiyan at the foot of a barren hill.
But how am I supposed to find the male lead when all this land has been dug up and is completely bare?
Jiang Tangtang called the system again, "[Can you scan to find out where the male lead is?]"
This time, the system finally stopped pretending to be dead and showed Jiang Tangtang the exact location of the male lead.
Jiang Tangtang quickly instructed Lu Shiwang to drive the car in the direction indicated by the system. Then, she mentally negotiated with the system, asking, "You can scan the exact location of the male lead, so could you scan for water sources in this area?"
[Scanning is possible, but you do not have the necessary permissions; this system cannot assist you.]
"When will I have permission to use it?" Jiang Tangtang's eyes lit up, and she immediately became excited.
[When the character's appeal reaches 60%.]
Jiang Tangtang asked expectantly, "So how much do I have now?"
2 percent
Jiang Tangtang was speechless. [When will this happen? Do I still need your help scanning the water source when my character value reaches 60%? Can't you just open a backdoor?]
The system pretended to be dead again and ignored her.
Jiang Tangtang was furious, cursing the damn system in her mind.
Fortunately, although the system refused to scan nearby water sources, it did point out the correct way to find the male lead.
The Lu family finally found Lu Shiyan as dusk approached. By then, Lu Shiyan had already fainted due to excessive blood loss.
Su screamed and rushed over, embracing the unconscious Lu Shiyan and crying.
Grandpa Lu also lost his usual composure and collapsed to the ground. Luo Taohua, imitating Madam Su, rushed over and began to wail.
The children were frightened by the scene and burst into tears.
Jiang Tangtang was probably the calmest person in the room.
Knowing that the male lead wouldn't die anytime soon, she calmly observed his face while the Lu family was in a panic.
I must say, he truly lives up to his role as the male lead.
Even in such a disheveled state, his handsome features were still undeniable. If he were to wash away the blood and grime and recuperate, who knows how stunning he would become.
Thinking about having to survive alongside such a beauty, Jiang Tangtang's agitated mood improved slightly. "Stop crying, everyone. Let's help them onto the oxcart and go fetch a doctor!"
Luo Taohua immediately stopped wailing and looked at Jiang Tangtang with some resentment, "See a doctor? Where are we going to get the money?"
Su raised her hand and scratched Luo Taohua, then began to rant, "All you ever think about is money, money, money! Your third brother is about to die, and you're still thinking about money. Are you even human? Don't you even see who your third brother is doing this for? Eldest brother, aren't you going to do anything about your wife?!"
Lu Shiwang glared at Luo Taohua angrily, "At this moment, is money more important or Third Brother's life? Can't you just say less?"
Luo Taohua covered her head, not daring to speak anymore, but her gaze towards Jiang Tangtang grew increasingly resentful.
Then Su said to Jiang Tangtang, "Chenyan's mother, why don't we sell this cow to pay for your husband's medical treatment?"
Jiang Tangtang rolled her eyes inwardly. Shameless! He's trying to take advantage of his wife's dowry again!
She refused without hesitation, saying, "No, what will I ride if I sell the oxcart? Don't you still have a silver hairpin that you haven't pawned? I think it's perfect to use it to save my husband."
Mrs. Su was furious that she refused, her heart aching with anger. "That's your man! How could you be so heartless?"
“That’s your son too!” Jiang Tangtang retorted. “Besides, we’re not at our wits’ end yet, why should we sell my dowry?”
"You...you...you..." Su was so angry that she couldn't utter a complete sentence for a long time.
Jiang Tangtang didn't care at all. Right now, she was having a mental conversation with the system, asking if her character value had increased, if she could scan nearby water sources, or if she could get some actual rewards.
As a freeloader, she had never suffered so much hardship.
She had just talked so much that her throat was parched. Her stomach was also throbbing with hunger.
If things continue like this, she won't hold on to her life anymore. She'll lie down on the ground, and maybe if she dies she can go back to the modern world and continue being a parasite.
Fortunately, the system did not disappoint her this time, saying that her personal settings had improved by three percent, triggering a system reward.
However, the reward can only be received after the male protagonist receives treatment from the doctor.
Thinking about her reward, Jiang Tangtang stopped arguing with Su about who should pay for the consultation and told her eldest and second eldest brothers to quickly lift Lu Shiyan onto the oxcart and set off to find a doctor.
The Lu family was a little confused about what was going on with Jiang Tangtang. But at this moment, they didn't have time to think about it too much.
After Lu Shiyan lay down on the oxcart, the already cramped cart became even cramped. But Jiang Tangtang, not wanting to walk, still sat down without hesitation, saying, "I'll take care of my husband."
After saying that, without waiting for the Lu family's reaction, he directed Lu Shiwang, "Big brother, head southwest, there are doctors there."
"How do you know there's a doctor over there?" Luo Taohua, whose scars hadn't even healed yet, had already forgotten the pain and questioned Jiang Tangtang's words again.
“Of course it counts,” Jiang Tangtang said calmly.
Luo Taohua reacted as if she had heard the biggest joke in the world, "You can calculate?"
Doesn't she know what kind of person her sister-in-law is? Lazy and stupid, she has no redeeming qualities except for her face.
She can tell fortunes? Don't be ridiculous.
Jiang Tangtang raised an eyebrow and looked coldly at Old Man Lu and Madam Su, "Father and Mother don't believe me?"
The two elders couldn't make up their minds.
Like Luo Taohua, the two also thought of the absurd things Jiang Tangtang did after marrying into the Lu family. The third daughter-in-law really didn't seem like someone who could tell fortunes.
But it was indeed she who gave directions, which led them to their injured son so quickly. Without her guidance, they don't know how long they would have taken to find him!
Seeing the two elders hesitate, Luo Taohua became anxious, "Mother, you don't actually believe her nonsense, do you?"
Su snapped at him impatiently, "Shut up!"
After scolding Luo Taohua, Madam Su asked Jiang Tangtang in a gentle tone, "How did you know that to find Sanlang you had to go south?"
"Of course it counts!" Jiang Tangtang didn't really want to talk; she hadn't received her reward yet, and her mouth was dry.
"How come you suddenly know how to predict the future?" Old Lu coughed and carefully examined Jiang Tangtang.
"Naturally, I received divine guidance in the forest just now!" Jiang Tangtang spoke as casually as if she were talking about what she had eaten that day, completely disregarding the impact her lighthearted words had on everyone.
