As Li Yuanzhi's words fell to the ground, the air seemed to freeze.

The four little beans stopped cooking and looked at Li Yuanzhi with a complex expression that was mixed with shock, sympathy, and something indescribable.

After a moment, Xiao Miaomiao giggled and broke the silence: "What does it mean to commit oneself to something?"

Liu Guang couldn't help but say, "You're so good, you don't know what it means, so why are you so surprised!"

Li Yuanzhi was unaware of the approaching danger and asked with a smile, "Why are you looking at me like this?"

Liu Ming said seriously, "It's nothing, it's just the first time we've seen a fool seeking death, so we're not used to it."

Jiang Xiaohua got married when she was fifteen, and now she is only eighteen. Logically speaking, she is still in her prime years as a woman. Plus, she looks good, so she should have remarried again.

But in the past three years, no matchmaker has come to the door.

The reasons are comprehensive. First of all, not many people are willing to marry a woman with four oil bottles.

What's more important is that Jiang Xiaohua's reputation as a newlywed, lazy, incompetent, and a black-hearted shrew has spread throughout the countryside. Even the old bachelor who has been unable to find a wife for half his life shook his head after hearing this.

Poor guy Li Yuanzhi didn't understand the truth and actually asked to marry Jiang Xiaohua.

What a fool!

Li Yuanzhi didn't know the reason why Liu Ming said this, and said sincerely, "I understand your concerns, and I will definitely treat you well as your stepfather!"

After making an impassioned speech, he looked at the increasingly weird expressions of the four little ones, and finally noticed something was wrong with the atmosphere.

Li Yuanzhi slowly turned around and faced Jiang Xiaohua's furious face.

She raised the big frying spoon and shouted loudly, "Stepfather, how big are you!"

In the blink of an eye, Li Yuanzhi ran around with his head in his hands, "If you have anything to say, we are all gentlemen!"

Jiang Xiaohua waved her spoon and chased, "I told you to give up your mind! You are relying on me for a meal. Do you want to take care of our whole family? I think you should stop eating and go to hell!"

After escaping from famine, everyone has not had any entertainment activities for a long time.

The refugees were all happy to watch the excitement.

Someone probably heard the reason and smiled, "Jiang Xiaohua, if someone wants you, just accept it."

"Yeah, the nerd and the little widow are matched up."

"This nerd can't even recognize wild vegetables. He will have to rely on women to support him in the future. Just treat him like he brought five babies!"

Everyone laughed, and the hungry people temporarily put aside their worries and showed long-lost smiles.

Li Yuanzhi nimbly ran left and right through the crowd.

He seemed to have eyes on his back. He was almost hit by Jiang Xiaohua's frying spoon several times, but he could barely avoid it.

"Jiang Xiaohua! Aunt Xiaohua! Xiaosheng swears that everything he says comes from the bottom of his heart!"

Just as everyone was watching with great interest, Jiang Xiaohua suddenly stopped chasing.

She put away the frying spoon gracefully and turned back to greet the children to eat.

"Don't look at him, you will be infected with stupidity!"

The four little ones nodded in understanding, and collectively ate with their backs to Li Yuanzhi.

The scene had just reached its climax when the protagonist suddenly stepped down without warning.

The refugees felt as if cold water had been poured into a boiling soup, and their spirits suddenly dropped.

Jiang Xiaohua ate her rice without squinting. The food was hard to come by. Why should she consume body heat to make others happy?

The snake meat soup is delicious and rich, and the meat slices are soft, tender and melt in your mouth, making you afraid that you will even swallow it on your tongue.

Li Yuanzhi regained his job and was full of praises while eating.

"It's delicious but not fishy, ​​crispy but not old. The craftsmanship is really amazing, better than the chef at Songyue Tower!"

"Hey, where did Madam Jiang learn cooking skills?"

"Why were you injured? But the wound was taken care of well. Is there a doctor here?"

However, no matter what he said, Jiang Xiaohua turned a deaf ear.

After the meal, the refugees continued their journey north.

This time, Aunt Zhou took the initiative to greet Jiang Xiaohua, "Xiaohua, come over and walk together. We ladies will talk and laugh on the way, and we can take care of each other."

Jiang Xiaohua did not refuse and took the four little ones over.

When Aunt Zhou's husband, Uncle Heiwa, saw Jiang Xiaohua, he snorted with a sullen face and turned away. It seemed that even one more glance at Jiang Xiaohua would stain his eyes.

Aunt Zhou smiled awkwardly, pulled Jiang Xiaohua and whispered, "Your uncle has such a bad temper, ignore him."

Jiang Xiaohua looked calm, "It doesn't matter, it's because I was too dishonest in the past. Uncle Heiwa also stood up for his four children."

The daughters of Uncle Heiwa and Aunt Zhou all married away from home, and their only son died young in middle age.

The old couple have been dependent on each other for many years and have always loved children the most.

Uncle Heiwa has protected the four children of the Liu family many times, so he hates the original owner Jiang Xiaohua the most.

It is definitely unrealistic to expect him to change his opinion of Jiang Xiaohua so quickly.

As she walked, Liu Miaomiao turned back frequently and plucked up the courage to pull off Jiang Xiaohua's sleeve.

"Mom, that uncle, oh no, idiot, is still following us!"

Jiang Xiaohua noticed Li Yuanzhi following him early in the morning. She said calmly, "This road is not opened by our family. He can leave as he pleases. It has nothing to do with us anyway."

Jiang Xiaohua smiled and stretched out her hand, "Come on, hold hands and walk."

Liu Miaomiao nodded obediently and put her little hand into Jiang Xiaohua's palm.

After all, a little baby who is only four years old is at the time when he is attached to his mother.

After falling asleep in Jiang Xiaohua's arms last night, Xiao Miaomiao was not as afraid of her stepmother as before.

But Liu Guang was very unhappy and complained to Liu Yong in a low voice, "Brother, Miaomiao is still young and doesn't understand the sinister nature of people's hearts. What if she falls in love with that bad woman?"

Liu Yong was surprisingly calm, "What should I do?"

Liu Guang said anxiously, "Oh, if Miao Miao really regards her as her own mother, she will definitely be very sad if she bullies her again in the future."

Liu Yong remembered the conversation he had with Jiang Xiaohua by the river last night.

Although he couldn't figure out why, he still clearly felt that Jiang Xiaohua was very different from the past.

However, he still couldn't see clearly whether Jiang Xiaohua's change was good or bad.

Liu Yong sighed maturely and said, "Just take it one step at a time, I will protect my little sister."

In the evening, we finally reached the official road in the mountains.

Finally seeing the road built by the imperial court, everyone saw hope.

As long as you follow this road, you will definitely find the town.

There is a small river near today's campsite. The water is clear and shallow, but there are no fish or shrimps at the bottom.

There was nothing unusual about this. One after another, the refugees passed by and almost ate up everything they could eat.

Jiang Xiaohua looked at the river with a depressed expression.

At this time, a voice intervened:

“Are you thinking that even though we’ve made it this far, there’s still not a single particle left to be eaten by the hungry people? It shows that there are so many people fleeing famine along this route, and the towns ahead may not be optimistic either.”

Jiang Xiaohua raised her eyes and asked, "Li, why are you still haunted?"

Li Yuanzhi said, "I have something to ask Mrs. Jiang."

Jiang Xiaohua: "Say."

Li Yuanzhi was extremely serious, "What's for dinner?"

boom!
