could finish her words, Madam Wu Er could no longer bear it and rushed over, slapping her twice and cursing madly."You damned old whore! I knew it was you who screwed up and implicated the whole famil...Seeing that the two people were also frightened, they changed their course halfway and actively distanced themselves from Li's family.

The Li family trudged on for another day, reaching a hillside as the sun began to set.

Lao Li directly ordered the donkey cart to stop, letting everyone rest.

After a day in the sun, the Li family was already parched.

Several children were parched and wilted, looking like a few scallions deprived of water.

Jia Yin had always been shielded by Tao Hongying, so she hadn't gotten sunburned, but she still felt a little stifled and lacked energy.

"Mother, I'm going to cook."

Zhao Yuru tidied up the things on the donkey cart, handed the water bottle to Tao Hongying, and then took the millet to cook.

Tao Hongying saw Jiayin's mouth was dry and gave her some water to moisten her throat.

"Oh my, how could I be so forgetful..."

Here is the text translated into English:

At the sight of having to cook again, Wu Cuifang fussed about beside the donkey cart, clutching her head and humming mournfully.

Li Lao Tai used the smoking pot to tap on the edge of the donkey cart, and asked her expressionlessly.

"Second daughter-in-law, what's wrong again"

"Mother, I might have heatstroke. I need to rest for a while..."

Wu Cuiflower's voice was hollow as she spoke, and with that, she plopped down right under the donkey cart's shadow, deliberately squeezing Tao Hongying in the process.

Li Laotai glared at Wu Cuifang with her eyes, could she not see through her feigned helplessness

I just want to take it easy!

But at this juncture, they were on the run, with no energy left to discipline their daughter-in-law.

She simply snorted coldly, "If you're feeling unwell, just sit there. You'll eat half a bowl less rice later and your intestines will be clean!"

Wu Cuifua's body stiffened, but she still hummed and hawed, refusing to get up.

Anyway, she was exhausted, Zhao Yuru was willing to let her do whatever she wanted.

"Mother, I'm going to help Third Sister-in-law."

Tao Hongying just fed Jiayin and, seeing Wu Cuifang's state, she got up directly, put the well-fed Jiayin on her back, and wrapped her in a cloth sling.

After finishing her words, she didn't wait for Li Laotai to stop her. She went over to help Zhao Yuru.

Jia Yin had only been born for a few days, and Tao Hongying hadn't even left confinement yet. Her body was naturally not feeling well.

But there were only three daughters-in-law in the family. Wu Cuifang was lazy and made Zhao Yuru wait on her all day, doing everything from cooking to cleaning. Zhao Yuru felt quite uncomfortable about it.

This month and year, just being alive is enough. Who's talking about having a good postpartum confinement

Tao Hongying had a slight ache in her lower abdomen, but it wasn't unbearable.

She patted Jia Yin's little bottom, squatting by the fire to add firewood.

Zhao Yuru was already used to Wu Cuifang's gluttonous and lazy behavior. Seeing Tao Hongying come over to help, she wanted to persuade her to go back, but the words stuck in her throat.

Anyway, once Tao Hongying comes over, she definitely won't go back.

She was still working hard, so that her younger siblings could have an easier time.

"Hongying, you sit here. I'll go over there and see if I can find some wild vegetables."

Zhao Yuru found a stone for Tao Hongying to sit on, then took a small shovel and went to the grassy hillside to dig for wild vegetables.

Jia Yin leaned against her mother's back, her dark and moist eyes looking around curiously.

At this time, all the members of the Li family were busy with their own affairs and no one paid attention to them.

Then she started fidgeting again.

She first babbled a few words to her mother's ear. Tao Hongying hurriedly turned her head to look at her daughter, reaching out and holding her in front of her to untie the small cloth towel.

"What's wrong, Funi Did you pee yourself"

While Jia Yin was taking advantage of this moment, her small hands seemed to be waving about randomly. In reality, she was secretly sprinkling the rice into the pot from the space inside.

After ensuring the diaper was dry, Tao Hongying carefully placed her little one back into her arms.

Jia Yin seemed like a little thief who had just done something bad, quickly reaching out to touch Tao Hongying's ear and letting out two bubbles of saliva while whining.

"I'm already hungry again after just finishing a meal, how can I be like a little pig"

Tao Hongying was amused by her daughter, she adjusted her posture and lifted her clothes to feed her.

Over the years, Jiayin has gotten used to breastfeeding.

Without hesitation, she opened her mouth and took a big gulp.

Zhao Yuru didn't find any wild vegetables and, upon returning, saw Tao Hongying feeding her child. She then helped her to sit under the shade of a nearby tree.

Then he took a long wooden spoon and stirred the bottom of the pot, so as not to burn it.

As a result, when she stuck the long wooden spoon into the pot and stirred, she was stunned.

How is the porridge made from half a bowl of rice so thick

It's just like eating a full pot of food, it's almost gone.

Zhao Yuru looked up at Tao Hongying, who was oblivious, still teasing Funi with a giggle.

Zhao Yuru cooked porridge with a puzzled heart. After dividing it among the Li family members, she called them to eat with a strange expression on her face.

"Mother, how much rice did you give Jade "

"Why is the porridge so thick today It's still a full big bowl!"

Li Laosan took the bowl, a mix of surprise and worry on his face.

There isn't much food left at home, eating this much for one meal, how are we going to make it through the rest of the days

Old Lady Li was the first to receive her bowl of rice porridge, and of course, she noticed something was amiss.

After all, it was she who personally ladled half a bowl of millet porridge for Zhao Yuru. It was definitely not enough for each member of the Li family to have a big bowl of thick porridge.

"Shut up and eat your food."

Li Lao's heart was pounding, but she lowered her head and drank the porridge, scolding her son.

Li Lao San was taken aback, and vaguely started to ponder the meaning.

He subconsciously glanced at Jia Yin who was lying on one side playing with her fingers, then quickly lowered his head and took large gulps of porridge.

Naturally, no one else dared to speak up...

This meal was a rare feast for the Li family, but also the silences spoke volumes.

However, their eyes couldn't help but linger on Jia Yin's plump face.

Without exception, everyone blamed this sinister affair on Funiu.

It must be this child's good fortune again, bringing blessings to the whole family once more.

After the meal, Old Li held Jia Yin in her arms, showering her with affection. She couldn't get enough of her precious granddaughter, calling her "heart and soul" repeatedly.

"Little Funiu, my little granddaughter.

You're just so little, Grandma gets to enjoy life with you!

"Grandma is so happy!"

Jia Yin was delighted, dancing with joy, which made the old woman laugh heartily.

Jiāxǐ and Jiā'ān were jumping around together, both wanting to hug their little sister. Perhaps they could even find some eggs...

Thus, Jia Yin would take advantage of Tao Hongying's time helping with the cooking to secretly add rice from their storage space into the pot.

The Li family, fueled by Jia Yin's generous provisions, traveled tirelessly. Not only did they not lose weight, but several of the young men even gained muscle mass.

"Mother! The docks!"

"There's the dock ahead!"

After half a month, Li's family finally arrived at the dock.

Li Laoer went to investigate the news and soon ran back, excitedly reporting the good news to his whole family.

The Li family all let out a sigh of relief, their eyes reddened. After days of fleeing, they finally saw a glimmer of hope.

As long as you can find a ship sailing south, it will only take half a month to reach Kyoto.

Everyone quickened their pace.

But when they actually arrived at the pier and saw what was happening with their own eyes, it was like a bucket of cold water being poured over their heads, chilling them to the bone.

The docks were lined with ships, but also with countless refugees fleeing the disaster.

Those ships belonged to wealthy families who fled south by water to escape the war.

Looking at the disaster victims by the pier, I couldn't bear to get close, let alone let them board a boat.

"Master, please, take us with you!

" Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate.

We are willing to be oxen or horses, just to survive…"

The refugees knelt at the dock begging the wealthy people on the boats, but the rich people were so stingy they wouldn't even look at them.ioning Shui Ling and Cai Yun to go out.With only the two of them left in the room, she leaned mischievously into the Third Princess's ear and asked, "Tell me quickly, have you taken a liking to any sc...
