Chapter 31 The Brainstorming Queen Mother



In fact, Lu Chenyan was already full. The reason he kept eating was simply because he was afraid of being hungry again.

Once food is available, they instinctively eat voraciously, because they don't know when they'll be able to eat their fill again.

Meeting Jiang Tangtang's earnest gaze, he reluctantly released the bowl.

Just then, Lu Shiyan returned from the mountain.

She had a bundle of leaves tucked under her arm and a few sparrows hanging from her waist.

Seeing Lu Shiyan return with prey again, the villagers all showed envious expressions.

Jiang Tangtang noticed that his heart was still beating a little fast, but it quickly calmed down. She handed him the earthenware pot and said, "Second sister-in-law cooked some dry rations for you. Would you like some?"

Looking at the unappetizing porridge in the earthenware pot, Lu Shiyan unconsciously frowned.

Just when Jiang Tangtang thought this particular immortal was going to refuse, he took it and began to eat it expressionlessly.

He ate very quickly; he finished off half a jar of porridge in no time.

Although he ate quickly, he did so with elegance, without making a single rough chewing sound.

Despite being dressed in coarse linen clothes, Jiang Tangtang felt that as long as a camera was set up next to him, he could appear on camera completely without makeup and shoot a hit fantasy drama.

Yes, even in coarse linen clothes, black-stained earthenware pots, and a dilapidated oxcart, it did not diminish his aloof and ascetic immortal demeanor.

Jiang Tangtang once again sighed in her heart, "What an amazing man!"

It's no wonder she wanted to sleep with such a perfect man.

Seeing that Jiang Tangtang was staring at him, Lu Shiyan took out a few wild pears from his pocket after finishing his meal and handed them to her: "I picked them from the tree."

Looking at the wild pear in his palm, Jiang Tangtang felt conflicted. "Why don't you eat it yourself?"

Lu Shiyan said, "I thought you would like it."

"Just because I like him doesn't mean I have to?" Jiang Tangtang thought to herself. He clearly doesn't love her, so why is he being so nice to her? Could it be that he's also being controlled by the system and has been given some mission to make her fall in love with him?

Lu Shiyan gave a faint "hmm".

Jiang Tangtang took two wild pears from his hand and left one for him.

Of the two wild pears she brought, she gave one to Lu Chenyan.

Lu Shiyan brought back two water bags today. He doesn't know when he'll find water again.

Jiang Tangtang didn't want to wash the wild pear with water, so she just casually wiped it with her hand and ate it in small bites.

Wild pears are small, but juicy and sweet.

She didn't know if it was because of her mood, but she felt that this wild pear was tastier than any other variety of pear she had ever eaten in her previous life.

Lu Chenyan couldn't bear to eat it, and following his father's example, he carefully put the wild pear away.

Then, with a pair of big eyes, it looked curiously at the flock of sparrows in front of it.

Lu Shiyan caught a total of five sparrows. He kept two and sent the other three, along with a simply cleaned earthenware pot, to Su Shi.

Looking at the three sparrows Lu Shiyan had brought over, Luo Taohua swallowed hard, her mouth watering. Then she craned her neck to look at the two sparrows Lu Shiyan had left behind.

He couldn't help but wonder, "They already have a pheasant, so why don't they send over all the sparrows they hunted?"

Sparrows are small and have little meat; five sparrows are not worth as much as one chicken leg of a pheasant.

While Luo Taohua was unhappy that Lu Shiyan had only sent three sparrows, the villagers were incredibly envious.

Even a small sparrow is still meat!

Isn't it tastier than dry rations?

Many villagers openly and secretly flattered the Su family, hoping to cultivate a good relationship with them.

Lu Cuilan was originally sulking, feeling that her elder brother and sister-in-law were too stingy, not even willing to give her a single wild thorn, making her lose face in front of so many villagers.

Seeing everyone flattering the Su family, he couldn't sit still any longer.

She quickly said, "Sister-in-law, shouldn't we be on our way?"

"I'll ask Tangtang." Although she knew that everyone's flattery was not for pure reasons, Su was still very happy that her son and daughter-in-law were both capable.

She walked lightly up to Jiang Tangtang. "Sanlang's wife, you've rested for so long, isn't it time to set off?"

Jiang Tangtang was currently communicating with the system and was in a good mood after learning that her actions had just earned her another 10 points of character value.

"Let's go! It's time to set off." Jiang Tangtang got up and began packing her things to get going.

In a rush, Lu Shiyan hadn't finished making the hat for her yet, so he used branches with lots of leaves and vines to tie together and made a simple straw hat for her to wear.

Jiang Tangtang, wearing a straw hat, sat on the oxcart and continued to ponder how to improve her public image.

After the fleeing group set off, the women who had been surrounding Su Shi dispersed. Lu Cuilan seized the opportunity and said to Su Shi, "Sister-in-law, outsiders flatter and fawn over you only to gain benefits. In critical moments, we blood relatives are the ones you can rely on. Don't be fooled."

"Do I need to tell you that?" Madam Su curled her lips, thinking to herself, "You can't be relied on either. Aren't you just doing this for my benefit?"

“Sister-in-law, please don’t think I’m nagging. I’m really worried. You have an oxcart, and your third nephew often brings back game. Even if you’re fleeing famine, you’ll be one of the better-off families in the village. If this goes on for a long time, people will inevitably have designs on you. Don’t you think so?”

Lu Cuilan adopted a confidant tone, "I know your Sanlang is good at kung fu, and you think I'm just bluffing, but as the saying goes, two fists can't beat four hands. In case something happens... it's always good to have more help, isn't it? No one in this village is as close to your family as we are, don't you think?"

Su's expression instantly turned serious.

At the time, her son was seriously injured, and she was happy to meet people from the same village, thinking that they would be able to take care of her in the future.

But to her surprise, her son's severe injury healed in less than half a day, as if blessed by the gods. Ironically, the villagers she had initially thought would be a help turned out to be a threat to her family.

However, her worry only lasted a short while before her brows relaxed again.

She was convinced that her third son's rapid recovery was entirely due to her third daughter-in-law.

The deity must have been looking after Jiang Tangtang, his disciple, and only incidentally took care of his own son as well.

As long as they treat the immortal's disciple well, the immortal will surely bless the Lu family and turn misfortune into good fortune.

Thinking this, Madam Su had no time to pay attention to Lu Cuilan and went to check on Jiang Tangtang.

He asked her if she was thirsty and offered her a cactus to eat. He also asked her if she was hot and gave Lu Shiyan a homemade palm leaf fan so he could fan his daughter-in-law.

Su's actions completely stunned Lu Cuilan.

How come she was talking so nicely, and then she turned around and went to fawn over her daughter-in-law?

Shouldn't they try to win her over and get the Fang family to help them out when it matters most?

Not to mention Lu Cuilan couldn't understand Su Shi at all, even Jiang Tangtang didn't know what was going on with her and why she was suddenly being so attentive to her.
