My whole family time-traveled! I became a god during my exile in a famine.

Chapter 261 Come on, let's go crazy together!

“You said the old lady was kind. What kind of kind? She just kicked us out like that, without even giving us a cup of hot tea.” Zhou Yuanyuan complained as she walked. “Mom, we can’t just leave like this. We have to go find my brother.”

"Alright, alright." Jiang Susu angrily shook off her hand. "Don't you want to get your face treated?"

"Now what?"

"Come with me." Jiang Susu pulled her daughter straight to the territory of the Duke of Jiang's mansion to find her elderly mother.

The Jiang family mansion is no longer the glorious place it once was in the capital.

Ever since the tragic death of the second son on the road, Madam Jiang's spirits and energy have been greatly diminished.

But upon seeing Jiang Susu and her daughter, he still managed a kind smile, "Susu and Xiaoyuan are here, come and sit down."

Jiang Susu sat down on a small wooden stool, exchanged a few pleasantries with her mother, and then got straight to the point.

"You want two servants?"

"Yes, during the escape, all those useless servants in the house either fled or scattered, and now there are none left."

"Mother, doesn't my sister-in-law have an old woman and a maid? Why don't you lend them to me for a few days?"

Madam Jiang coughed a few times and sighed, "If you need someone, take Granny Jiao with you."

“Madam,” Granny Jiao said, somewhat surprised, “your health requires constant care.”

"It's alright." Old Madam Jiang waved her hand, looked at her daughter Jiang Susu with a face full of doting affection, and patted her hand. "Don't worry about your sister-in-law's side."

"I'll have your older brother send a servant over there so he can help you and your daughter carry water and food."

Jiang Susu happily agreed, then made another request, "Mother, look at my Yuanyuan's face, it was slapped by the sixth daughter of the Xin family."

"How did she get beaten up like this?" Old Madam Jiang was startled when she saw Zhou Yuanyuan's swollen face. "The sixth daughter of the Xin family? Is she Xin Wenyuan's daughter?"

"It's her."

Madam Jiang sighed again, took her daughter's hand and said, "We can't afford to offend them. We've seen the fate of the Lü family with our own eyes. You can't be foolish and confront them head-on. There's no benefit in that."

“Of course I know, Mother.” Jiang Susu shook the old lady’s sleeve. “It’s just that my Yuanyuan’s face is so sensitive that we need to find a doctor to treat it. You know how expensive medicine is these days.”

"Mother, please give us more food so I can find a doctor to treat Yuanyuan's face."

Madam Jiang always granted her daughter's requests. Upon hearing this, she nodded and said, "Granny Jiao, take a bag of fine rice and go back with Miss."

"I disagree!" A woman appeared outside the wooden shed, her cold eyebrows raised as she stared intently at Jiang Susu. "Mother, we don't have much rice left. If we give it all to my aunt and her daughter, how are we supposed to survive?"

Madam Jiang coughed in anger, "Li, don't go too far! This ration is for my own use, I gave it to your sister, and you still want to argue with your mother-in-law?"

"Oh, Mother-in-law. Don't you even count how many times this has happened? Every time my sister-in-law can't make ends meet, she goes back to her parents' home to ask you and your husband for support. In the past, when things were better, it wouldn't have mattered, but what's the situation now? You know perfectly well, Mother-in-law!"

"Rongniang." Jiang Wei grabbed his wife's hand, his face flushed, trying to pull her away. Now, several families were crammed onto the edge of the woods, barely managing to build a makeshift wooden shed. But they could see each other clearly with just a glance.

Jiang Wei didn't want his family to cause a scene and become a laughingstock among the neighbors; his Jiang family couldn't afford to lose face like that.

Li Rongniang flung her husband's hand away and stared coldly at Jiang Susu and her daughter, saying, "This grain is for our family's expenses next month, and we absolutely cannot give it to Jiang Susu and her daughter."

“Sister-in-law,” Jiang Susu twisted her handkerchief, looking aggrieved, “why are you so heartless? If my husband were still alive, why would I have to shamelessly go back to my parents’ home for help?”

“Rongniang,” Jiang Wei also frowned and advised, “Susu is an orphan and a widow, it’s not easy for her. Let’s not make a scene, okay? Let’s not give the Marquis of Dingxing’s mansion a reason to laugh at us.”

"What a joke! I'm the biggest joke in the world!" Li Rongniang slapped her husband across the face and shouted angrily, "If you don't want to live a good life, just say so! If you want to spoil your sister, use your mother's and your own rations to do so. It has nothing to do with us, mother and daughter! If you dare to use my and my daughter's food rations to spoil your sister, I'll chop you up with a knife!"

Jiang Wei was slapped by his wife, his face filled with disbelief.

"Jiang Wei, you don't still think you're high and mighty families of dukes and marquises, do you? Wake up! Look around! What kind of world is this?"

"Who isn't desperately struggling for a bite to eat and a drink? You and your son want to be shameless, indecent do-gooders, so go ahead and be them! I, Li Rongniang, will not play along!"

"Mother." Jiang Kerou had just returned with water, her hands red from being tied up. She quickly put down the bucket and rushed to help Li Rongniang. "What's wrong, Mother?"

"It's nothing." Li Rongniang raised her hand. "Granny Lan, Hua'er, take that bag of rice and move our own oil, salt, and soy sauce. We're going to stay somewhere else."

"Yes, ma'am."

Madam Jiang was so angered by her daughter-in-law's words that she repeatedly pounded her chest and coughed. "What a tragedy! What a tragedy! How could the Jiang family have married such a sharp-tongued, mean-spirited, and disrespectful daughter-in-law?"

"Yes, yes, it's all my fault, Li Rongniang. I was wrong to be blind and marry into a destitute family like yours, with no rules, no morals, and no social standing!"

"Everyone come and judge this! Look at this family. The married daughter brings her husband's daughter back to her parents' house every few days to freeload, always begging for food. Even with all the food we have, it's not enough for them to eat and drink to their heart's content. Now, to save face, they want to squander our entire next month's food rations!"

"Zhou Yuanyuan, don't forget your surname is Zhou. What kind of time is this to still want to fix your face? Who will you show it to after it's fixed? I think your face wasn't that great before you fell."

Li Rongniang walked out cursing, and Jiang Wei couldn't stop his wife. His face turned a deep shade of liver from shame and anger.

"Are you crazy?!" Jiang Wei shouted angrily.

"I've gone mad! I've been driven mad by you Jiang family mother and son! Since you Jiang family members have no shame, what do I have to care about?"

"Jiang Wei, let me tell you. From this day forward, that old widow from your Jiang family who's married out can forget about squeezing every last drop of benefit out of me! I've had enough of your whole family. You're all useless!"

Jiang Wei raised his right hand in anger, but Li Rongniang slapped him again. "You want to hit me again? You good-for-nothing man, all you do is show off in front of your wife and daughter. Tell me, have you found even a bite to eat or a drop of water all these days? Useless! From now on, you can go live with your old widow sister. I can't be bothered with you anymore!"

Chang Mianmian stood not far away, holding half a small watermelon, looking on with admiration.

I never expected to see this interesting thing while patrolling the edge of the forest.

Jiang Susu and her daughter are truly despised by everyone.

No, she has to record all of this and show it to her sister later.
