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

Chapter 262 Love Never Dies
Jiang Susu stared wide-eyed at her cursing sister-in-law, her face pale. Her eyes reddened with grievance, and tears welled up in her eyes. "Sister-in-law, how...how could you insult me ​​like this?"

"Insult? You say which word or phrase I used insulted you? Isn't that stating the facts?"

"What's wrong? All these years, have you not been going back to your parents' house every few days to move things and ask for this and that, or have you been dutifully being a Zhou family woman?"

"Oh dear, little white flower, you're crying again. Do you think you're still eighteen? You think you can squeeze out a couple of cat pee and a bunch of men will line up to coax you? Bah! An old widow, putting on an act for me again! Too bad I'm not one of those stupid men you're holding, I don't even look at you."

Jiang Susu burst into tears. Seeing that the people from the Dingxing Marquis's Mansion and the Yan Mansion were all looking in her direction, she felt so ashamed and angry that she hurriedly covered her face and tried to escape.

But this wooden shed is drafty on all sides, and there are residents all around. Where can they escape to?
Unless we get out of this forest, there's nowhere to escape to.

She really didn't want to rush out of the woods to bask in the sun, so she covered her face with a handkerchief and kept hiding behind the old lady.

"Alright, alright, say no more." Old Madam Jiang was so angry that her heart felt tight. "Li, do you really have to be so ruthless?"

"Me, drive them to annihilation? Mother-in-law, whatever you say goes! What can I do? After all, as a woman of the Jiang family, filial piety is paramount! No matter how unreasonable something is, in the mouths of the Jiang family, every single thing is reasonable!"

Madam Jiang coughed repeatedly and waved her hand forcefully, "You, hey. If you don't want to give her rice, then don't. Why say such hurtful things to Susu? She's already pitiful enough to have lost her husband."

"It wasn't my fault she lost her husband. How can you blame me for that? Mother-in-law, speak with conscience. Haven't I helped my sister-in-law enough over the years?"

"Li Rongniang!" Jiang Wei's forehead veins bulged.

"Jiang Wei! What are you yelling about! You think you're right just because you have a loud voice?" Li Rongniang smiled sarcastically, gritting her teeth as she offered her blessing, "Fine, I'm too lazy to talk to you good-for-nothings. From now on, we'll all go our separate ways. I wish your family a loving and inseparable life together."

"Granny Lan, Hua'er, load up the things, let's go!" Li Rongniang grabbed her daughter Jiang Kerou and turned to leave.

Jiang Kerou was still in a daze, but she instinctively reached for the bucket of water. "Mom, this is the water I just brought."

"Take them all away!"

As Chang Mianmian watched Li Shi and her daughter pass by with their maids and servants, she quickly went up to greet them, "Auntie, you're amazing!"

“You are…” Li paused, looking at Chang Mianmian, her anger suddenly turning to joy, “You are the scorekeeper girl next to the regimental commander?”

"Hehe, it's me, it's me." Chang Mianmian, with a familiar expression, stepped forward to chat with the woman, "Auntie, you're amazing, you're a role model for us women. If all the women here were as capable as you, they would definitely not suffer any losses."

Li Rongniang waved her hand sheepishly, "No, no, you flatter me, young lady."

“No, thank you. Auntie, you...don’t have a place to stay yet, do you?” She looked the four of them over. “You’re all women, it’s not convenient for you to stay here. Come with me, I’ll arrange a small tent for you.”

"Huh?" Li Rongniang, who was suddenly struck by a windfall, was momentarily stunned. After realizing what had happened, she timidly asked, "Is there... is there more?"

"Yes, there is a small tent. It's just right for you girls to squeeze in. Come on, come on, I'll take you there."

Li Rongniang nodded repeatedly, tears of gratitude streaming down her face. "Very well, thank you so much, young lady. May I ask your honorable surname, my little benefactor?"

"My name is Chang Mianmian, you can just call me Mianmian."

Jiang Wei watched the women walk away, his anger and frustration rising and falling with each step. He shouted at Li Rongniang's retreating figure, "Li Rongniang, don't come back! Don't even think about setting foot in the Duke's mansion again!"

Chang Mianmian turned her head to look at the man, her eyes full of disdain, "A gate, my foot! Open your eyes and look. What gate is this? Your wooden shed is so poor that you can't even afford a curtain, but you're quite good at putting on airs."

Li Rongniang laughed heartily, grabbed her daughter, and followed Chang Mianmian away. Jiang Wei, his face blackened, stood there dumbfounded.

Whispers and laughter came from all around, making Jiang Wei feel so ashamed that he wished he could dig a hole and bury himself.

After settling the four women in, Chang Mianmian was very happy to fill the half-full bucket of water for Miss Jiang.

Li Rongniang was overjoyed and insisted on having Chang Mianmian stay for a meal to express her gratitude. But Chang Mianmian would never go to someone else's house to freeload at a time like this. After much persuasion, she politely declined and left in a hurry.

She went back to the cabin and found her sister first. She took out her phone and showed her the replay of the scene.

Xin Nian was a little surprised, then nodded. "In this day and age, it's rare to see a woman who dares to go against her mother-in-law and husband. It's not easy to leave her husband's family, so we should help them if we can."

"Don't worry, sister, everything's arranged. They'll stay in the small tent next to Aunt Wang's, that'll be enough. I saw they took quite a bit of grain with them, enough to feed several people for over a month."

Xin Nian smiled and nodded. Hearing Doctor Zhuang calling downstairs, she went down the wooden building and opened the door.

"How are you feeling? Has the situation improved a lot?"

“Young lady.” Doctor Zhuang brushed away the flowing hair in front of his eyes and walked over to her in a few steps. “I’m telling you, I’m really at my wit’s end. That young master Lu is really persistent. With his physique, he still wants to stay in a hotel to see you. He’s practically courting death.”

"I tried my best to calm him down. He had just started to improve after taking the medicine, and if he got out of bed and had any more trouble, all the medicine he had taken would have been for nothing."

"so?"

Doctor Zhuang gave her an awkward smile and rubbed his hands together. "So, young lady, could you condescend to go and take a look at him yourself?"

Xin Nian said coldly, "Whether he lives or dies is none of my business. Let him do whatever he wants."

She wouldn't go to Lady Lin'an's place and invite trouble.

The reason he was able to bring the entire Lin'an Marquis's family along was because of the two packages of supplies he had given them while they were in prison.

Xin Nian didn't owe anyone anything; the other party had given them supply packs, which was a small favor in itself.

Now, treating his son's illness is considered repaying this favor; as for anything else, don't think about it anymore.

Doctor Zhuang paced back and forth. "Oh dear, this boy is very stubborn. If you don't go, I reckon he'll force himself to come and find you."

"It would be worse if things got out of hand." Doctor Zhuang circled around Xin Nian.

Seeing that Xin Nian remained unmoved, he couldn't help but sigh, "Alright, I'll go talk to that kid. But I feel like there's no way to persuade him."

Xin Nian ignored Doctor Zhuang's ramblings and disappeared. She reappeared in Xiao Jinzhi's room, dragged a wooden stool to sit beside the couch, and stared at him with her almond-shaped eyes.

"How much longer do you want to lie here?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Xiao Jinzhi sat up abruptly. "I was wrong, Niannian. I shouldn't have made you angry."

"Be honest."
