"Mother, please don't—"
Before Jiang Yi could finish speaking, Lin Guilan had already knelt down and started kowtowing to Jiang Yi.
"Mother, I... I really don't want to die!"
Jiang Yi looked at Lin Guilan, who was kowtowing to her, and slowly stepped forward to stop her.
"grandmother!"
Just as the two were facing off, a little boy's voice rang out, "Come quick! Sihua is dead! Sihua is dead!"
Sihua is Jiang Yi's current youngest daughter.
Upon hearing the little boy's shout, Jiang Yi disregarded her confrontation with Lin Guilan, stood up, and quickly ran towards the direction from which the sound came.
A group of skinny little children hid at a distance, and in the direction their gaze was directed, a slightly older little girl was holding another even smaller girl and shedding tears.
"Dahua, don't cry, let your mother see you!"
Jiang Yi quickly stepped forward, took the little girl from her eldest daughter's arms, checked her breathing and pulse, and finally breathed a sigh of relief. She wasn't dead, she had just fainted from hunger.
"Mom, is there anything left to eat at home?"
Jiang Yi turned to look at Lin Guilan.
Lin Guilan shook her head vigorously and said, "It's all gone, all gone. We've been out of food for a long time!"
"There's still rice, a small jar of rice!"
Da Hua suddenly spoke up, "I saw it! In Grandpa and Grandma's room, you cooked rice porridge for Uncle every night. I saw it, I saw it all!"
"You naughty girls, you're all so biased!"
"I saw it too!"
"Me too!"
"You're biased!"
The children immediately shouted out, all pointing fingers at Lin Guilan.
Jiang Yi really didn't know that such a thing had happened.
However, she did smell the aroma of rice porridge on the evenings of the past two days.
At the time, she thought she was hallucinating from hunger, but now it seems that wasn't the case.
"Mother, how could you do this?"
She kept saying she had nothing left in the house, yet she could still cook rice porridge for her youngest son. Her grandchildren were practically starving, and she remained completely indifferent?
Even if Li Yaoguo only eats a small bowl of rice porridge a day, which he shares with his family and adds wild vegetables, it can at least last longer.
"That's it!"
"That's my son, that's my rice. I can give it to whomever I want!"
Lin Guilan, whose face had been exposed by her grandchildren, immediately started throwing a tantrum.
"Mother, that was something my sister-in-law risked her life for, wasn't it?"
Seeing Lin Guilan's shameless behavior, Jiang Yi remembered what had happened in her family and her eyes widened in surprise.
Before she arrived, her predecessor's sister-in-law, He Maizi, had also starved to death. Relatives and villagers came to mourn, and the family received a lot of things, including some rice.
At that moment, Jiang Yi understood everything.
"So what if it is?"
"Once you marry into the Li family, your lives belong to the Li family!"
"If you don't want to stay at Old Li's house, then get out!"
"I'd like to see who would want you, a married woman, once you leave the Li family!"
"When you die, there won't even be a place to bury you. You'll be a lonely ghost for the rest of your life!"
Once a person's true colors are stripped off, they become completely shameless.
Lin Guilan is in that situation right now.
Looking at Lin Guilan's current state, Jiang Yi replied indifferently, "Aren't you afraid that your sister-in-law will come looking for you tonight?"
"What goes around comes around!"
"Isn't the younger brother-in-law afraid of retribution for eating the rice that his sister-in-law risked her life for?"
"Aren't you afraid when my brother and my man come back?"
Jiang Yi was very curious: Where did Lin Guilan get such confidence?
