Chapter 13: Song Jiuli's Self-Inflicted Doom
This is simply throwing someone to the wolves. If the original owner was still around, they would probably be driven mad with anger. No wonder the original owner in the book was so neurotic.All the pe...When Xiao Deng brought over a roast chicken that big, everyone else's eyes widened in amazement. Their gazes toward Jiang Wan were filled with envy.
Even Song Jiuli and Shen Qian couldn't help but swallow their saliva, obviously craving it.
"I'm not asking for thanks," said Mu Liang, gingerly. "Just helping out is enough."
Though she said that, Jiang Wan's eyes were glued to the roast chicken. After all, since crossing over, she had barely had time to eat a proper meal, her mouth was practically numb from lack of taste.
Xiao Deng seemed to see through Jiang Wan's little thoughts and stuffed the roast chicken into her hand. "Eat this, I asked the head chef, he doesn't object."
In reality, Ren Bang was his sister's husband-in-law. His nephew almost got bitten by a venomous snake, so he had to comfort him a bit so that he wouldn't get into trouble with his mother-in-law when he went back.
Ginger didn't know she had accidentally saved her brother-in-law, the leader. At this time, holding a roasted chicken, the corner of her mouth twitched slightly.
"Well then, thank you."
You're welcome.
Little Deng didn't stay long. The moment he left, the Song family members couldn't hold back anymore. They all looked at Ginger Wan's roasted chicken with covetous eyes, their eyes gleaming green.
"Sister-in-law, grandmother hasn't had any meat all day."
Shen Qian, acting smart, brought the old madam out. As long as ginger opened this mouth, she would have to divide the wild chicken with her just like she did.
However, Jiang Wan wasn't so easy to talk to. She raised an eyebrow and said, "That's right, how could you youngsters let your grandmother go hungry"
Just as Shen Qian was delighted and Jiang Wan was about to fall into the trap, Jiang Wan said in a serious tone:
"Second Uncle, Third Uncle, you should find a way to get some meat for Grandmother to eat."
Don't you have it in your hand already
Song Lao Er couldn't help but swallow his saliva. The person who used to only touch a piece of roast chicken from the table is now so hungry he wants to cry.
Ginger had a cold look on her face, "This is the gift someone gave me as thanks. Our families are already separated, each family eats their own."
They won't be able to have the roasted chicken anymore.
Madam Song's face suddenly darkened. Song Lao Er and Song Lao San stared at Jiang Wan incredulously, questioning Madam Song Da.
"Sister-in-law, is this place run by you or her"
"
This roasted chicken was given as a thank you to Wanwan by someone else, so naturally she gets to decide what happens to it.
"
Song Dajiao was quite discerning. Ginger Wan felt pleased, and broke off a chicken leg to give her.
"Mother, eat some meat to replenish your energy. We still have a long way to go."
"Good, thank you Wanwan."
Song Daniu's eyes curved into a faint smile. Yuan’er was doing better, and that eased her pain considerably.
This scene was particularly piercing, but Deng and Ren Bang weren't far away, staring at them. When the old madam and Song Lao Er saw the whip in Ren Bang's hand, they finally held back their temper.
He was just so frustrated, Song La Er angrily scolded Shen Qian, "It's all talk from you. Come out with some dry food!"
"Father, I don't have much grain left."
Shen Qian looked pleadingly at Song Chen, but the man didn't dare to contradict his father. She could only reluctantly take out their rations and completely empty them.
It really is like shooting oneself in the foot, Ginger almost burst out laughing.
"
Husband, eat this.
"
She handed Song Jiubian a drumstick. Luckily, the drumstick was cooked quite tender and had no seasoning on it, otherwise, Song Jiubian, being injured, wouldn't be able to eat it.
Thank you.
Although Song Jiubian was weak all over, he was fortunate to be able to eat on his own now.
After giving it to him, Jiang Wan didn't want to give any to Song Jiuchi. She thought about it for a moment, this guy still had to carry Song Jiuyuan on his back, if he ran out of energy, she would be the one who got tired in the end.
Then Ginger gave some chicken to Song Jiuchil as well, but not much. Song Jiuchil was stubborn by nature, but he quietly said,
"Thank you."
"You're welcome, I saw you on your brother's face."
Jiang Wan spoke clearly and understandably, but people just didn't look favorably upon her. She had never been a people-pleasing type of person.
Song Jiuli's mouth watered. Everyone else had already gotten some, so the next should be hers, right
She probably only gets the chicken bones left because all the good meat has already been taken.
She watched Ginger Wǎn gnaw on half a chicken carcass. Although the meat wasn't much, it wasn't bad either. Song Jiuli reached out to take it, but discovered that Ginger Wǎn was already biting into it herself.
Song Jiuli: !!!
"What about me"
Song Jiuli glared angrily, her eyes wide. Why didn't she have it
"You said you wouldn't eat my things anymore, find your own if you want!"
Ginger innocently took a bite of the chicken, looking quite innocent. This roast chicken wasn't very big, and after dividing it up, there wasn't much left of the chicken body. But at least there was some meat.
It's just not seasoned, a bit bland.
Song Jiuli: !!!
She was struck dumb with shock, and she suddenly remembered what she had said earlier. Her face flushed crimson, and tears welled up in her eyes.
"I won't eat it!"
Song Jiuli sat on the side, defiantly nibbling on black steamed bread, tears streaming down her face as she ate, as if she had been greatly wronged.
Ginger ignored him and continued eating the chicken nonchalantly, savoring every bite.
On one side, Song Jiuxi watched his dragon and phoenix twin sister so wronged, and he was too embarrassed to find Jiang Wan, so he wanted to give his chicken to Song Jiuli.
But she was stopped by Song's daughter. She shook her head at her younger son and said, "Let her learn a lesson. We are not who we used to be now."
"But the exiled are forced to grow, in order to face the difficult path ahead."
Although Song Dajiang was a weak woman, she saw things clearly. It was precisely because of this that she was able to quickly accept Jiang Wan.
Because she knew, only by standing together would their family be better off.
Song Jiuchí felt a tightness in his chest, but he didn't argue with his mother's words. He just chewed the chicken flavorlessly, feeling quite unwell.
But Song Jiu's calmness was terrifying. He calmly finished his own chicken leg, and even took a sip of the ginger water handed over by Gan.
Ginger actually understood that the one who had been psychologically impacted the most was Song Jiubian. Right now, he must be adjusting his emotions.
But these Ginger didn't care, she slowly finished the roasted chicken, washed her hands again, and set off again.
On the road, Song Jiuli was still crying silently. However, Jiang Wanquan pretended not to see her, she was just bringing this upon herself!
Because she saved Little Deng, even though Ginger was picking herbs by the roadside, no one would stop her.
As long as she doesn't fall behind, this kind of trust made Shen Qianqi's heart ache. So she quietly walked to Song Jiuli's side and comforted her with concern.
"Lily, don't be angry either. Ginger just has this personality. We'll get used to it."
"As a woman abandoned by her family, what right does she have to be so arrogant"
Song Jiuli wiped her tears, drawing little circles with the back of her hand. Shen Qian's approach seemed to give her someone to confide in, and she babbled out her heartache.
"Yes, yes, yes, she indeed doesn't have the qualifications to be so arrogant."
Shen Qian's eyes rolled back and forth, she lowered her voice and complained to Song Jiuli:
"But she saved the officer, didn't she Now he's much more lenient with her than with us. So we can't openly pick on her." these wild vegetables are edible. It's a waste to leave them like this."Even Duan, who had always been insignificant, dared to challenge Shen Qian, angering Shen Qian who slapped her hard."This is my...
