Chapter 17 Have you been tormented by Ginger?

nore it. The atmosphere grew heavy with silence, and no one spoke.And Ginger was constantly grinding up unfamiliar herbs along the way, and everyone tacitly decided not to bother her.Having collected...As expected, during the evening rest, Ginger lined up to get her porridge and simultaneously set up a pot, washing the day's harvest of wild vegetables and simmering them in the pot.

Despite being able to afford a better life, Ginger was actually quite picky. So she even added seasonings to this wild vegetable dish, making it fragrant and tempting. It made Song Jiu-li keep glancing at the pot from time to time.

But what Ginger had said before was still fresh in her memory, she dared not, nor was she embarrassed to ask again. She could only watch with longing eyes.

Besides the wild vegetables, Ginger also took out some steamed white flour buns that were warmed up. Today everyone had bought some supplies, so their food was pretty good, and theirs wasn't anything special either.

But no one dared to eat the big fish and meat. Firstly, it was because they needed to save money, secondly, they were afraid of getting into trouble with the soldiers.

As for the Chen family, they had just been exiled and hadn't had time to prepare anything, so they could only drink watery porridge that was barely like water.

At least from afar, they seemed to be doing alright. Jiang Wan thought that they were in better shape than Song Jiubian, at the very least.

Although Song Jiuyuan no longer had a fever, his wound still throbbed faintly. In just two days, both he and Song Jiuchí had lost a considerable amount of weight.

Facing Song Jiubian's gaze, Jiang Wan noticed his face was especially grim, as if he was holding back something. Jiang Wan opened her mouth silently.

"Master, do you need to relieve yourself I'll have Jiu Chi take you there."

Song Jiubian: !!!

Jiang Wan's speech was much more vulgar than before. Song Jiubian only felt his face burning like a monkey's butt. Luckily, Song Jichí reacted quickly and took the initiative to tell the official, taking Song Jiubian aside for a quick pee within the officer's sight.

Look at Ginger's appearance, Song Jiu Li couldn't help but sarcastically criticize, "How can you say something so vulgar"

"What's wrong with being vulgar"

Ginger snorted, "Do you still think you're the noble young miss of the old mansion"

Now that we're commoners, there's no shame in talking about eating, drinking, using the toilet.

Jiang Wan's words made Song Jiuli's heart ache, and she wanted to cry again. But her mother didn't look at her either. She could only silently drink the porridge in front of her with tears streaming down her face.

Taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, Jiang Wan quietly took out a few quail eggs from her space and buried them under the fire to roast.

When Song Jiubian came back, Jiang Wan quietly slipped two quail eggs to him.

"Eat quickly."

With a warm fingertip tracing across his palm, Song Jiubian's big hand suddenly clenched. Jiang Wan looked at him inexplicably.

"How, disgusted with me"

If he dares to say one is a word, Ginger will definitely turn and run away.

Song Jiubian shook his head hurriedly and quickly explained, "No."

He didn't know why, but he really didn't want her to misunderstand him. He had just instinctively retracted his hand out of habit, nothing more.

That's fine.

Ginger hummed softly and stuffed two quail eggs into Song's hand. As for Song Ji-cheol and Song Ji-li... ωＷω.oＮЬ.οr

Sorry, no. She's very vengeful, though. Anyway, she wouldn't starve right now.

Song Jiuli and Song Jiqi exchanged glances, both daring to be angry but not daring to speak. After all, this belonged to Jiang Wan, who had the right to dispose of it.

Moreover, if things escalate, I'm afraid even Mother and elder brother won't have a good time. Mother is frail and elder brother is still recovering from his injuries. He truly needs to make up for it.

Ginger knew this all along, so she openly and blatantly killed these two people's hearts. She ate happily ever after.

Although Song's matriarch felt sorry for the two children, thinking of Song Jiuli who was so irresponsible and wouldn't even apologize, she endured the pain and didn't look at them. She ate each quail egg in one gulp.

As dusk fell, Shen Qian in the distance had a gloomy face. Although she had purchased a lot of supplies, what shrank was only her wallet.

Looking at the silver her parents had given her, now only half remaining, how could she not feel heartbroken

Even though, Song Chen was still clueless and didn't think of her at all. He seemed afraid she wouldn't take out the silver, which made her angry at Jiang Wan and Song Jiubian again.

If it weren't for them, she perhaps wouldn't have been exiled.

Jiang Wanke didn't know she was getting implicated just by sitting there, while she did share some vegetables with Song Jiuchil, but not with Song Jiuri.

She could only watch them eat with envy, and a feeling of regret began to grow in her heart.

"Do you know what you did wrong"

Song Daniu scolded Song Jiu Li with exasperation, saying: "Wan Wan is thinking of our family with all her heart. At this time, can't you be more considerate"

"Mother!"

Song Jiuli pouted with grievance and walked shyly to Jiang Wan's side, "I'm sorry, I... Can I borrow your pot"

She was too embarrassed to ask for something to eat. After she finished speaking, her fingers had turned white from clutching so tightly.

"Sure, you can do it yourself."

Even Jiang Wan wanted to see what the young lady, who never got her hands dirty, could accomplish.

Ming Ming was supposed to follow Ginger Wan's method of adding water and then vegetables, but Song Jiu Li didn't know why her vegetables were bland and unpalatable, even with a bitter taste.

"Wow…"

Song Jiuli ate the vegetables she had made and couldn't help but cry again.

She's so pitiful, oh no...

After that, she never dared to scold Ginger Roll again. This wild vegetable is really hard to eat.

Ginger....

Look at the poor child, who blames herself for what happened.

The venomous sister-in-law, Jiang Wan, rolled her eyes gracefully and said, "Don't forget to wash the dishes after you're done eating."

Song Jiuli cried even harder, but she still dared not cry too loudly, lest the officials get annoyed and beat her.

"Mother, I won't wash the dishes."

"Won't learn!"

Song's daughter-in-law seemed like a cruel stepmother. She wasn't heartless towards her daughter, but because she knew that from now on, their family would have no servants to wait on them.

Whatever you want, whatever you eat, you have to rely on yourself. It's a good thing that her children are growing up.

Ginger coldly watched Song Jiuli tidying up the bowls and chopsticks, nervously tapping her fingers. She then took the pot to the nearby stream to rinse it. Ginger was about to say a few more things.

"It's not clean yet."

"I understand."

Song Jiuli dared not speak out of anger. She was afraid that next time, Jiang Wan wouldn't even lend her a pot.

It so happened that Shen Qian caught sight of this scene from afar. When Song Jiuli went to the stream with a pot again, Shen Qian feigned a trip to wash her face.

"Lier, is Jiang Wan torturing you"

She looked at Jiang Wan as if she were a vicious shrew ordering Song Jiuli around, and suddenly felt an opportunity!

Song Jiuli pursed her lips and whispered in rebuttal, "Second sister-in-law, elder sister didn't torment me; I did this willingly."

Mom said she had to learn to take care of herself, and this pot was definitely her fault for not washing it.

You stupid bitch.

Shen Qian hated iron for not being steel, "A sister-in-law is like a mother, your aunt's body isn't doing well, it's only right that Ginger takes care of you all."

"This kind of dirty and tiring work, how could you possibly do it You have to make her do it!"

She wished gingerly could be tortured to death by the people in the main house, not a single good word came out of her mouth.

Song Jiuli's movements of scrubbing the pot paused for a moment, a bitter smile tugging at her lips. She didn't reply, but Shen Qian became even more animated as she spoke.

"Li'er, Jiang Wan, she is just a bully who picks on the weak. Your mother and brother are both yours, so what do you have to fear"

If you just stand up to her, she definitely won't dare to bully you! curtain and communicated with the person inside, she quietly left, concealing her contributions and fame."Are you okay"Song Jiubian looked at her return, first nervously scanning her body up and down...
