Chapter 8 The Virtuous Mother



System: [Okay, but this behavior is extremely overly virtuous. The character's favorability will decrease by 10%, making it more difficult to obtain rewards next time.]

Jiang Tangtang was speechless: [What nonsense are you talking about? How am I a saint? Do you expect me to watch the original owner's own son starve to death in front of me? And what's this about favorability?]

How can someone who acts so capriciously still leave a good impression?

[Please examine your current situation. The half-pill of Bigu Pill and the half-pill of Huashui Pill you've consumed will only keep you from hunger and thirst for a day and a half. The remaining Bigu Pill and Huashui Pill are your only hope for survival. By giving your only hope to someone else, readers will perceive your behavior as that of a saint, and your favorability towards them will decrease.]

Jiang Tangtang instantly broke down, screaming hysterically in her mind, "[What the hell? My popularity with readers has dropped? Are you giving this a live broadcast?!]"

The system's cold voice carried a hint of guilt: "[Absolutely not! It's just that based on the usual negative reviews from Vegetable Network readers, doing this would be considered 'saintly' behavior. Does the host still wish to take the Bigu Pill and the Water-Dissolving Pill?]"

Jiang Tangtang wanted to ask what this had to do with the vegetable website, but seeing Lu Chenyan's increasingly distressed expression, she temporarily gave up the question and gritted her teeth, saying, "Of course it does."

As soon as Jiang Tangtang finished speaking, two half-eaten, dark-colored meatballs appeared in her right hand. Afraid of regretting it, Jiang Tangtang grabbed the meatballs and stuffed them into Lu Chenyan's mouth.

Her expression was ferocious, as if she were feeding her son some kind of poison, which terrified Luo Taohua, who was hiding nearby and watching.

Thinking to himself, Jiang Shi is still the same as ever, despising this burden. This vicious woman Jiang Shi must have failed to sell her son, so she's now trying to poison her own son and make other plans.

She had to get away quickly, lest she be blamed for her nephew's death.

Luo Taohua ran away in a panic, not seeing the look of surprise and satisfaction on Lu Chenyan's face after he ate the dark-colored dumpling.

Jiang Tangtang felt a pang of heartache for half a second as she looked at her empty right hand, then turned to figure out how to feed the male lead his medicine.

After eating and drinking his fill, Lu Chenyan seemed to understand his mother's predicament. He took the initiative to walk to Lu Shiyan's side and gently lifted his father's head.

He was small and weak, so he could only raise Lu Shiyan's head slightly. But that was enough for Jiang Tangtang to feed him the medicine.

Seeing how carefully the child was taking care of his father, Jiang Tangtang couldn't be too perfunctory. It was already fifteen minutes later when she carefully fed him the medicine spoonful by spoonful.

After the medicine was finished, Jiang Tangtang didn't care about anything else. She threw the bowl aside and went back to the oxcart to continue sleeping.

Lu Chenyan carefully put his father's head back down. His father's head had been resting on his lap for too long, and his legs were numb, but he didn't complain. He just sat quietly to the side until he felt better before picking up the bowl and walking towards Madam Su.

Madam Su often disliked her grandson, who couldn't speak and seemed like a fool. She would secretly give dry food to the grandsons of the first and second wives, but she seemed to have forgotten about this grandson.

Seeing Lu Chenyan bring the bowl back, instead of praising him for being sensible, she cursed Jiang Tangtang in her heart.

Luo Taohua, who was standing to the side, was so surprised to see that Lu Chenyan was alright that her jaw almost dropped.

How come he's perfectly fine and not dead?

What did Jiang give him to eat just now?

Luo Taohua felt a surge of anger. "Fine! That Jiang family member really did hoard good stuff and secretly ate it all. I'm going to expose her hypocrisy!"

Luo Taohua didn't sleep well that night. She kept glancing in the direction where Jiang Tangtang was resting, ready to rush up at any moment if Jiang Tangtang was sneaking a bite.

But apart from frequently turning over and looking like she was having a very uncomfortable sleep, Jiang Tangtang did nothing else.

Jiang Tangtang did not sleep very well.

The oxcart was incredibly hard, and mosquitoes kept biting us. Accustomed to comfort, Jiangmi Chong couldn't stand the hardship. He woke up countless times, cursing and whining at the system, demanding to return to the modern world.

She was told by the system that her modern body had been taken away for cremation and that she would be a wandering ghost if she went back, and would soon disappear from the world. Only then did she have no choice but to accept reality with tears in her eyes.

But the thought of how the buildings her father left her would end up in the hands of some bastard after she died made Jiang Tangtang's face sour. The next day, she looked at everyone with a "I want to kill you" expression.

This made Luo Taohua, who had come to cause her trouble, not dare to say a word.

Only Li Shi remained unaffected. He calmly examined Lu Shiyan and said, "He doesn't have a high fever. Change the dressing on his wound once a day and give him the medicine twice a day. He should wake up in less than three days."

He looked at Jiang Tangtang, his gaze icy, and said, "I have already examined your husband as promised. Please lead the way!"

It was called an invitation, but the meaning of coercion was obvious.

Jiang Tangtang reacted calmly, but Su was startled and quickly heated up the medicine left over from last night and brought it over. At the same time, she directed her two daughters-in-law to cut grass to feed the cattle, and to set off as soon as the cattle had eaten.

Luo Taohua couldn't hold back anymore. In the past, when she went to cut grass for the cattle, her children would sit on the oxcart.

But now that all the children have been driven down, and no one from their main branch rides in the oxcart, why should she have to cut grass for the cattle?

Luo Taohua spoke her mind, saying, "Mother, no one in our eldest branch rides in the oxcart, so why should I go cut grass for the cattle? If anyone should cut grass, it should be my third sister-in-law."

What's more, this group of scoundrels was recruited by Jiang Tangtang. She didn't eat last night, and seeing her mother-in-law's state, she wasn't planning to share anything with her this morning and still wanted her to do chores, while the people from the third branch of the family were enjoying themselves.

"You long-haired, short-sighted, ungrateful wretch! Don't you even know how you managed to stay alive and spout nonsense? Who protected you? If it weren't for Third Brother risking his life to fight and protect your family as you escaped, would you still be alive? Would Jiaren and the others still be standing here all together? Third Brother almost lost his life for your family. What's wrong with asking you to help him cut some grass for his oxcart?"

Su fired at Luo Taohua like a machine gun, spraying punctuation marks all over her face.

Luo Taohua recalled the scene of Lu Shiyan protecting her family a few days ago, and was speechless for a moment, only able to let her mother-in-law pound on her chest.

Not content with simply mowing down his daughter-in-law with a machine gun, Su sternly rebuked his eldest son, saying, "Eldest son, tell me, is this what you were thinking too, which is why you let your wife cause trouble?"

"Mother, I didn't. My third brother was injured while protecting us. It's only right that we do whatever he wants. How could I have any ulterior motives?"

Lu Shiwang glared at his wife, then quickly grabbed the basket and sickle and said, "I'll go cut grass for the cattle right now. Don't argue with her. She's just stupid and overthinks things. She's confused."
