The others were immediately enlightened and chimed in, "That's right, she's afraid we'll beg her for food, so she doesn't eat during the day. You only eat the pheasants secretly at night."
"Look at how arrogant she is! Those who know her will know it's because her son is a hunter, but those who don't will think her son is a high-ranking official in the capital!"
...
The group freely complained about the Su family, but in the end, they all packed their bags and went to catch up with the large group of villagers fleeing the famine.
Although they verbally accused the Su family of being arrogant and that their son was getting too cocky because of his abilities, who among them didn't secretly envy them? Who wouldn't want a son like that?
Moreover, despite their tough talk, when they saw Lu Shiyan bring back the prey, who among them didn't secretly plot how to get some food from the Lu family?
Regardless of what everyone was thinking, the Lu family was focused on their journey. At 1:00 PM, the family finally arrived at the third mountain pass that Jiang Tangtang had seen on the map.
Compared to the previous hills we passed, the vegetation here is visibly more lush and abundant.
As the Lu family fled famine, they mostly saw cracked riverbeds, withered trees, and dry grass that could be ignited by the sun.
Such lush and verdant trees are truly a rare sight.
Mrs. Su was glad that she had protected her daughter-in-law in time, and the two Lu brothers looked at Jiang Tangtang with admiration.
Lu Shiyan glanced at Jiang Tangtang thoughtfully.
Jiang Tangtang didn't have time to care about the stares from the crowd; she had already figured out the fastest way to improve her public image.
Jiang Tangtang looked at Lu Shiyan pitifully, "Husband, it's so hot, my face is getting sunburned. Can you make me a hat out of strips of paper? I want one with a big brim so it can block out the sun."
The Lu family hurried to the Fang and Song families at the foot of the mountain, just in time to hear Jiang Tangtang making an impolite request to Lu Shiyan in a coquettish voice.
The Song family members all gasped in shock. Was this third daughter-in-law of the Lu family going to cause trouble?
She sat on the oxcart doing nothing. The food was hunted by the man in the mountains, and he would cook it for her when he brought it back. The man had been driving the oxcart all the way and hadn't even sat down to rest when she asked him to go up the mountain to pick branches to make a hat for her.
This is too much of a spoiled brat; he has no self-awareness whatsoever.
The entire Song family looked at Lu Shiyan, waiting for him to lose his temper and teach this arrogant woman a lesson.
Like the Song family, the Fang family was also waiting for Lu Shiyan's reaction.
Lu Cuilan thought her sister-in-law would surely discipline her daughter-in-law by now, but to her surprise, Madam Su only frowned and then turned to distribute the dry rations.
Lu Shiyan, whom everyone expected to get angry, simply nodded indifferently in the face of Jiang Tangtang's unreasonable request.
He not only didn't get angry, but even asked Jiang Tangtang if she wanted to eat pheasant for lunch, and if so, he would kill the pheasant for her first.
Fang Peiru was so jealous and heartbroken that she almost cried.
This is her cousin Yan, who should have been so good to her. It's all this vixen's fault, she stole her happiness.
She glared at Jiang Tangtang with hatred.
However, Jiang Tangtang was preoccupied with two things at the moment and did not receive her resentful gaze.
Having learned from her previous experiences, Jiang Tangtang was not surprised that Lu Shiyan had once again agreed to her unreasonable request.
While she was causing trouble, she secretly instructed the system to monitor the male lead's data.
After discovering that the male protagonist's impression of her hadn't decreased because of her unreasonable demands, she felt even more confused.
If it's not because of these unreasonable demands, then what is it because of?
Although the reason was unclear, Jiang Tangtang's character value finally increased by 10 points because of this unreasonable request, which could trigger a random reward.
Jiang Tangtang glanced at the old ox, who was clearly not very energetic, and decided not to use this opportunity. She planned to listen to the system's advice and wait until she had more character points before activating the reward.
It was too hot, and Jiang Tangtang had no appetite for pheasant.
After consulting with Lu Shiyan and Lu Chenyan, they decided to eat the pheasant when they rested at night.
What she needs most right now is a drink of water.
The water in the Lu family's water bags was almost completely empty. After the Su family distributed dry rations, Lu Shiwang and Lu Shichang ate a few bites and then came over to discuss the matter of finding water with Lu Shiyan.
While the two were talking, they unconsciously looked at Jiang Tangtang, hoping that Jiang Tangtang could point them in the right direction.
Jiang Tangtang had already inquired about the exact location of the water source from the system, but the system required her to exchange it for character points, which she couldn't bear to do. So, she pretended not to see the two people's gazes.
After discussing it for a while, Lu Shiyan went to find Village Chief Song and asked him if he wanted to send some people with him to find water.
The Lu family also needs to leave some people behind to guard their belongings, otherwise, if they encounter robbers, they might lose everything.
Village Chief Song was naturally delighted that Lu Shiyan was willing to lead everyone to find water. He quickly arranged for more than ten young men to go with him into the mountains to search for water.
With the loss of Lu Shiyan, such a capable assistant, the Lu family left behind their eldest and second eldest brothers to guard the luggage.
Besides the villagers of Dawancun, Li Shi's two henchmen also went with Lu Shiyan to search for water.
Only Li Shi remained.
He lit a fire next to the Lu family's oxcart and roasted the pheasants on sticks.
Although the method was rough, the air was soon filled with a mouthwatering aroma.
Jiang Tangtang, who had previously lost her appetite due to the heat, now felt like she could eat a whole cow and drink a bucket of water.
The refugees remaining at the foot of the mountain all stared intently at Li Shi. But Li Shi had a fierce look on his face and didn't seem like someone to be trifled with. The villagers swallowed hard, but none dared to approach and risk embarrassment.
It wasn't until they saw Li Shi tear off a chicken leg and hand it to Jiang Tangtang that the villagers who had been eyeing the meat began to scrutinize her with a critical look.
A single bite of food during a famine year is more valuable than gold.
Many people are willing to let their own sons starve to death just to survive.
What is the relationship between this man and Jiang? Yesterday he gave Jiang a turtledove, and today he gave her a chicken leg.
"Your nephew's wife is really something else. Not only does she keep your nephew completely under her thumb, but even other men outside are fawning over her."
Zhang Qifang was still angry after being scolded by Su.
Seeing Li Shi give Jiang Tangtang a chicken leg, she felt she had caught the Lu family in a dirty trick and immediately went to Lu Cuilan to gossip, "Is your sister-in-law out of her mind? She doesn't even chase such a promiscuous woman out with a broom, but keeps defending her. Does she think her son's hat isn't green enough?"
Logically speaking, since both Su Shi and Jiang Tangtang are Lu Cuilan's family members, she should be protecting her family.
But because she disliked Jiang Tangtang, she chimed in, "Who knows what tricks that vixen used to make the whole family run wild."
