"That's right, my sister has been adopted into our family, of course she's good to us, you regret it now!" Yun Mingyuan grabbed Yun Zhourong's hand, his face full of pride.
"There's nothing we can do, some people are just not lucky."
Madam Yun chimed in, "They didn't appreciate what they had when they had it, and now they're envious—it's too late!"
"Exactly, she deserves it." Zhao rolled her eyes.
After that, the second wife's group ignored the first wife's people and continued on their way.
The rest of the journey was much faster because Yun Zhourong had been delayed by buying the child.
The eldest son's wife was exhausted, but dared not utter a sound, and only felt even more hatred for the second son's wife.
That fierce gaze was almost tangible.
Unfortunately, I was cold and tired at the moment, and I really didn't have the extra energy to deal with the second wife.
The two little girls were exceptionally sensible; they didn't complain at all along the way and even helped carry the luggage.
Upon arriving at the post station, they were informed that officials were staying there that day, and all the rooms were occupied by their entourages. They would have to make do in the stables.
The people from the main branch were already exhausted, and when they heard that they could only sleep in the stables, Yun Mingzhu burst into tears.
No matter how bad the conditions were before, she had never encountered such a situation. She was a pampered young lady who was not used to sleeping in a dormitory, so how could she sleep in a stable?
"Alright, if you don't want to sleep in the stables, then get out. There aren't enough seats anyway." The bailiff was annoyed by her crying and whining.
"Ugh..."
After being scolded like that, Yun Mingzhu finally stopped crying, but she hid away to secretly wipe away her tears.
Although the stables were drafty, they at least provided some shelter from rain and snow. If a horse were to spend the night outdoors, it would likely freeze to death.
In comparison, the second wife's family was much more at ease.
From the time they were exiled, because all the money was in the Qin family's hands, they slept in cowsheds and stables before the family was divided, and they got used to it.
Not to mention that we now have down jackets, so we can endure even the coldest weather.
However, it's hard to say whether the eldest son's family can withstand it.
Everyone started eating dinner. The people in the eldest son's family were too tired to move. Yun Hongshen was a spoiled brat and refused to learn to cook even if he was starving. So everyone just ate some dry food.
The second wife's family was different. The two little girls were very diligent, and they were quite efficient at starting fires, boiling water, and cooking.
"Miss, what kind of pot is this?" Sun Xiaohua asked, staring at the pressure cooker.
"It doesn't look like an iron pot either. The village chief's iron pots are all black and ugly." Wu Dani tilted her head and thought for a moment, then suddenly widened her eyes and said, "Miss, could this be made of silver?"
Yun Zhourong was also stumped by the question; she had actually forgotten to ask Ji Minxiu.
However, she shook her head firmly and said, "I don't know what it's made of, but it's definitely not silver. Silver isn't that hard."
She had previously thought it was silver and had secretly tried to bite it with her teeth, but couldn't get it through.
"Oh, but this pot is really beautiful and useful, much better than an earthenware pot," Sun Xiaohua said with admiration.
"Yes, it really works."
Yun Zhourong silently added in her mind that it was not only useful for cooking, but also for using as a weapon. She had already used it to teach Yun Mingxuan a lesson several times.
That makes sense; she should ask the Snow Demon to send her some more durable tableware.
They are now using the old takeout containers, but they are not heat-resistant and deform after holding hot soup a few times.
With two more people now, we definitely don't have enough tableware.
Before long, a pot of steaming hot porridge with cured meat and vegetables was ready. The aroma was so enticing that everyone in the main house found it tasteless and kept drooling.
He wanted to go forward and ask for it, but seeing the menacing constables, he could only hold back.
"This is for you, feel free to add more if it's not enough." Yun Zhourong also served a portion to the two little girls.
As a result, the two little girls were too afraid to accept it.
Even though she was staring at the porridge and swallowing hard, unable to look away, she still waved her hand and said, "Miss, we can just have some plain porridge. It's not appropriate for us to eat such good food."
Back when we were at home, even if there wasn't a cold disaster, my grandparents always said that they were a waste of money and only deserved to eat some wild vegetable porridge. They could never eat such good food.
"Eat up, you're growing. Only when you're healthy will you not hold us back and be able to do more things." Yun Zhourong insisted on placing the porridge in the hands of the two little girls.
"Thank you, Miss!" Upon seeing this, the two little girls began to eat in a flustered manner.
As a result, tears started falling as they ate, feeling that they hadn't been sold off, but rather had entered a paradise.
They must work even harder in the future and serve the young lady's family well.
Seeing this, the women from the second wife's family felt pity, but said nothing, waiting for them to process their emotions on their own.
Seeing this, Qin was furious and shoved Yun Hongshen hard. "That brat is feeding both maids so well! If you, as their father, ask for more, she'll definitely give it to them because she's soft-hearted!"
Yun Hongshen was indeed extremely hungry. He gritted his teeth and walked over to Yun Zhourong with the bowl in his hand. "Girl, I'm really starving. Can you share some with me?"
Looking at the obsequious man in front of her, Yun Zhourong felt that this scene was familiar.
Yes, wasn't it the scene a few days ago when the second wife and grandmother were almost starving to death, and she went to beg them for some food?
But what did Yun Hongshen say back then?
Tell her to behave herself and stop calling him "Dad."
Oh…
If that's the case, what's the point of trying to get close to me now?
The members of the second branch of the family remained silent, waiting for Yun Zhourong to make her own decision, since everything they owned was taken back by her.
