Su was furious.
Is the eldest daughter-in-law stupid?
Those men were staring at them menacingly. Would she dare take out anything to eat? With so little food, it would be snatched away in no time.
She now wished she could shrink into a shadow so that those vicious bandits would forget about them.
She actually dared to mention food so casually; wasn't she just trying to warn those people?
Luo Taohua felt wronged. Jiang Tangtang, who should be the one brewing medicine for the third son, was sitting there like a pampered young lady. They had to do all the hard and tiring work, and she wasn't even given food. She was also scolded. Her mother-in-law was too materialistic.
She used to despise her third son's wife the most, saying that she couldn't lift a finger and was lazy. But now, as soon as she heard that her third son's wife had been guided by a deity, she left and began to worship her.
She was filled with resentment and sarcasm, but dared not say it aloud. "I also want to go and brew medicine for my third brother, but how can I brew medicine without water? Should I ask my third brother's wife to figure out where there is water?"
Su's eyes lit up instantly, and she looked at Jiang Tangtang with anticipation. Li Shi and the others also looked intently at Jiang Tangtang.
This year, not a single drop of rain has fallen since the beginning of the year. Not only have the crops and plants withered and died, but people are also having trouble getting drinking water.
Five days ago, the Lu family found a small, not-yet-dry mud pit and stored some water in each of their water bags.
Even though everyone has been drinking sparingly these past few days, there's only a little water left in the water bladder.
Li Shi and his group were in an even worse situation than the Lu family. Although they managed to steal some dry food during their robberies over the past few days, they couldn't get any water and had to rely on collecting dew from grass and leaves at night to quench their thirst.
But the weather was dry, and they couldn't collect much dew. At this moment, everyone was not only hungry, but also extremely thirsty.
Ignoring the hungry stares of the crowd, Jiang Tangtang looked at Luo Taohua and said, "Do you know why many fortune tellers have a rule of only telling fortunes three times a day?"
"Why?" Luo Taohua didn't understand for a moment. What did this have to do with her being asked to calculate where the water source was?
"Because too many secrets of heaven cannot be revealed, otherwise the calculations will be inaccurate. I have already calculated three times today, and I cannot calculate any more. I can only calculate three times a day."
Jiang Tangtang also set a rule for him, so that he wouldn't come to her for every little thing in the future.
She doesn't owe them anything, so why should they expect her to do this and that? Do they think they're so great?
Disappointed, Madam Su could only take out her water pouch and warn her eldest daughter-in-law, "Be careful when you're decocting the medicine. If you spill it, I'll skin you alive."
"Mother, you only have two sips of water, how can you save it?" Luo Taohua glanced at Jiang Tangtang and said, "If you don't trust me, you can have your third brother's wife brew medicine for him."
“I would like to brew medicine for my husband, but I need to bandage his wounds. Could it be that you are thinking of…” Jiang Tangtang rolled her eyes with a teasy tone. Although she didn’t finish her sentence, the lingering words were really intriguing.
Luo Taohua blushed deeply and dared not say another word. She lowered her head and went to the side to brew herbal medicine.
Zhou Qiongniang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, glad that she had stayed behind to observe the situation. Her third sister-in-law's words were too sharp now; most people were no match for her.
Jiang Tangtang looked at the herbs being crushed with a stone with a bit of disgust. It looked awful, and there wasn't even a place to wash her hands.
By the moonlight, she glanced at the male lead's pale face, then reached out to peel off his clothes, hoping his physique was as impressive as his face, otherwise she would be at a huge loss.
Pulling aside his clothes and seeing the male lead's abs, Jiang Tangtang mentally gave the author another thumbs up.
Although the plot the author wrote was clichéd, perfunctory, and lacked originality, the male protagonist was written really well.
Look at him, even after fleeing famine, he still has abs.
Moreover, these muscles aren't the greasy, bulky kind like steamed buns; they're the kind that look vigorous, taut, and incredibly sexy with beautiful lines.
In short, every detail perfectly matches Jiang Tangtang's aesthetic preferences, as if it were custom-made to cater to her tastes.
She liked it so much.
Jiang Tangtang unceremoniously patted the man's waist before picking up the clump of green herbs she had been looking down on and using it to bandage his wounds.
The male protagonist has a deep and long knife wound in his chest; without the protagonist's halo, he probably would have died long ago. But as the male protagonist of the book, these wounds can only become badges of honor in his glorious life.
Jiang Tangtang ruthlessly shoved the medicine onto his medal, then, taking advantage of the moment when no one was looking, wiped the liquid off her hands on his loosened clothes before collapsing onto the oxcart and starting to whine and complain to the system.
The oxcart was too hard; it was so uncomfortable to sleep in. She wanted her luxurious bed, her Simmons mattress…
The system remained aloof as always, ignoring her completely.
Jiang Tangtang cried for a long time and got tired. She didn't have the energy to argue with the system, so she could only cry and go to sleep.
Just as she was drifting off to sleep, Luo Taohua's loud voice rang in her ears, "We've all been busy and covered in dirt because of Third Brother's injury, but Third Brother's wife is sleeping soundly."
Jiang Tangtang didn't move, just opened her eyes and coldly stared at Luo Taohua. She was very dissatisfied with the usual tropes of farming novel authors, who would create a few extreme characters out of nowhere.
This cockroach, which has no skills but likes to chatter and make a lot of noise, should be slapped to death with a shoe sole.
Jiang Tangtang was lying down, her sleepy eyes making her look rather unimpressive, but Luo Taohua inexplicably felt a chill on her neck. She said somewhat timidly, "The medicine is ready, get up and feed Third Brother his medicine."
Jiang Tangtang then abandoned her thought of finding a shoe sole to beat Xiaoqiang to death and took the bowl from Luo Taohua.
Just as she was struggling with how to feed the male lead his medicine, she suddenly heard a gurgling sound.
She looked up and saw her forgotten son staring at the bowl in his hand, the sound of hunger clearly coming from his stomach.
Seeing Jiang Tangtang staring at his stomach, Lu Chenyan lowered his head as if embarrassed and curled up into a ball.
When he curled up, he pressed his little hands tightly against his belly, trying his best not to make any noise.
Jiang Tangtang tried to tell herself that this was just a fictional character, a character created by a lousy author to trick her into crying.
She wasn't his mother; she was still a beautiful young girl in the prime of her life, and she didn't want to feel guilty for completely forgetting about him.
But this body still betrayed her will; a sour feeling welled up in her internal organs and rushed towards her eye sockets.
Jiang Tangtang's eyes reddened with pain as she held back her tears, and she said fiercely to the system in her mind, "Can I give the remaining Bigu Pills and Huashui Pills to the child?"
