Transmigrated into a slave? I raised a frontier war god while pioneering new lands.

"Let her make a scene! Do you think I'm afraid of her?"

"The eldest and second eldest are both sons, so why should their family live in a big house while our family has to live in this dilapidated house?"

"Why do they get to eat such good food and drink while we have to eat coarse grains and wild vegetables?"

"If you hadn't come, I wouldn't have remembered. Now that you've come to me asking for those two taels of silver, let's have a proper talk."

"Since the two taels of silver that Shen Zhi earned came from the public account, then the house, land, pots and pans, rice, flour and cooking oil in the house must also be from the public account, right?"

"Since my sister-in-law says she wants to separate from us, shouldn't we also divide up the family property?"

"Since we're dividing things, let's divide them cleanly and clearly. I'm not going to pack anymore. I'll come with you now and see what's ours and what's my sister-in-law's." With that, Xu Qinghe tried to pull Shen's mother away.

Mrs. Shen was stunned, not expecting Xu Qinghe to be so shrewish. After a long while, she came to her senses, slapped Xu Qinghe's arm, and said, "Look at you! I only said one thing to you, and look how fierce you are!"

"You're an outsider who was bought here, without parents, what are you arguing about with your sister-in-law!"

"Do you know that your sister-in-law's family has more than a dozen members, and none of them are easy to get along with? If you argue with her, you'll only be the one who suffers."

"Hmph! So what if my wife has a lot of family members! Even if my wife has a lot of family members, we still have to be reasonable. Shen Zhi is your second son. If my sister-in-law and the others get a share when the family property is divided, then we should get a share too. I dare to say this wherever I go. Ask her, does she dare to say she won't give us anything?"

Mrs. Shen was surprised by Xu Qinghe's quick wit; she pointed at her for a long time, unable to utter a word, "You, you..."

"Believe it or not, I'll make the second son divorce you right now."

Xu Qinghe sneered disdainfully. She and Shen Zhi weren't married, so she wasn't afraid at all. "Go ahead and divorce me! Let Shen Zhi divorce me now. Anyway, I'm not the one who'll suffer."

Seeing Xu Qinghe like this, Shen's mother was completely defeated and could only say helplessly, "Fine, fine, I can't argue with you. You just wait for your sister-in-law to come!" After saying that, she didn't dare to make a fuss with Xu Qinghe anymore and turned around and hurriedly walked out.

As soon as Shen's mother left, Shen Chengyue and Shen Chengchuan looked at Xu Qinghe with admiration.

Because in the Shen family, no one except Sister-in-law Shen dared to speak to Mother Shen like that.

Xu Qinghe noticed the two children's gazes, turned her head and smiled helplessly, saying self-deprecatingly, "See? The weak are afraid of the strong, and the strong are afraid of those who have no fear. As long as you are strong, no one will dare to bully you."

Upon hearing this, Shen Chengyue immediately nodded in agreement. Looking at the two children's sallow faces, Xu Qinghe didn't waste any more time.

He put down what he was holding and walked towards the stove. "Chengyue, go and lock the door."

Upon hearing this, Shen Chengyue immediately got up from the small stool, ran towards the front door, and carefully locked the door.

Just as he was locking the door, Xu Qinghe had already taken a spoon and scooped out the wild eggs, putting them into the cold water that had been prepared beforehand.

After rinsing her hands in cold water, Xu Qinghe handed the wild eggs to Shen Chengyue. "Hey, go over there and eat with your brother. Wash your hands before you eat."

Shen Chengyue trotted over, looked at the wild eggs in the bowl, and subconsciously glanced at Xu Qinghe, his eyes filled with shock.

Because Xu Qinghe gave them all the boiled wild eggs, keeping none for herself.

Seeing that Shen Chengyue was standing still, Xu Qinghe asked in confusion, "What's wrong? You don't even know how to peel an egg?"

Seeing that Xu Qinghe was questioning him, Shen Chengyue didn't explain further and ran towards Shen Chengchuan with the bowl of eggs in his arms.

She carefully placed the bowl of eggs on the ground, then led Shen Chengchuan to wash his hands.

Seeing that he was so young yet did such a good job, Xu Qinghe didn't pay any more attention to him. She went inside, brought out a basin of pheasants, and continued processing them.

Before the apocalypse, she was a food blogger who only wanted to make some money online, but unexpectedly it became her means of survival in the post-apocalyptic world.

Surprisingly, even in ancient times, these survival methods remained unchanged.

Just as Xu Qinghe was deftly processing the pheasant, Shen Chengyue suddenly came running over, and before Xu Qinghe could react, a round wild egg was thrust into her mouth.

Looking at the wild eggs that were as big as Shen Chengyue's hand, Xu Qinghe's eyebrows unconsciously curved into a smile. "For me?"

Shen Chengyue immediately opened his big, bewildered eyes and nodded at her.

Xu Qinghe did not disappoint his kindness. She lowered her head and bit into the wild egg in his hand, her mouth bulging, and it took her a while to swallow it.

Seeing that she had finished eating, Shen Chengyue felt much better and ran back to carefully peel the fruit for Shen Chengchuan.

Seeing how sensible he was, Xu Qinghe's expression softened even more.

After processing the pheasant, Xu Qinghe began preparing to stir-fry it. Since there were no seasonings at home, Xu Qinghe first rummaged through the things that Shen's mother had brought.

Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that although Shen's mother had brought few things, her small but complete bag contained everything one would need.

There was a small bottle of oil, a small bottle of salt, a small bottle of sugar, a small bottle of soybean paste, Sichuan peppercorns, scallions, ginger, and a small bag of mixed grain flour.

Most importantly, the oil and salt were still packaged in small medicine bottles, which shows how difficult it was for Shen's mother to bring her such a small amount of things.

Because pheasant has a strong earthy smell, Xu Qinghe didn't hold back when cooking it, using almost all the oil, salt, and Sichuan peppercorns, as well as a large portion of scallions and ginger.

After stewing the pheasant meat, Xu Qinghe started making purslane and mixed grain cakes.

Xu Qinghe originally planned to crumble the leftover cornbread from the morning and remake it, but since Shen's mother had sent new ones, Xu Qinghe didn't bother with it anymore.

When the pheasant meat was almost cooked, Xu Qinghe added the chanterelle mushrooms, so that the mushrooms wouldn't be mushy and invisible when it was finally served.

After adding the chanterelle mushrooms and stir-frying them briefly, Xu Qinghe started sticking flatbreads to the side of the pan. This method makes the flatbreads both delicious and saves on oil.

As Xu Qinghe was putting pancakes on the side of the pot, the two children had already come over, drawn by the aroma. They stared intently at the pot, swallowing their saliva, which made Xu Qinghe laugh.

"Hungry again? Here, get a bowl, I'll serve you a piece to try first."

After spending a day together, Shen Chengyue and Xu Qinghe had become quite familiar with each other. Upon hearing this, he turned around and ran into the house without hesitation, and soon came out with a bowl.

Xu Qinghe first served them a piece of pheasant meat, then continued to add fuel to the stove, asking as she did so, "How is it? Can you chew it?"

At this moment, Shen Chengyue was practically biting his cheek off, but he still mumbled incoherently, "Mmm."

Seeing his expression, Xu Qinghe couldn't help but chuckle and didn't ask him any more questions.
