Seeing Xiao Zhixue so calm, Wang was even more furious. She rushed forward, pointed at the tip of Xiao Zhixue's nose and shouted, "I'm talking to you, are you deaf?"

Her voice was so loud that it attracted the attention of the surrounding villagers who were fleeing famine.

Xiao Zhixue looked back slowly, and at that moment, her eyes seemed to become a little cunning, and she deliberately pretended to be silly.

"Hey, you're a big bitch, you came here following the smell!"

As soon as these words were spoken, someone in the crowd couldn't help but burst out laughing, instantly breaking the tense atmosphere.

Wang was so humiliated that her face turned red. She was so angry that she almost poked Xiao Zhixue's face with her finger: "You are the bitch, you stupid jinx! I am so unlucky to meet you here!"

Without waiting for Xiao Zhixue's response, Zhou Shuqiong, who had been silent on the side, could no longer hold back. She stepped forward and shouted, "Second brother's family, stop it! We have separated the family a long time ago, and you dare to scold my Third Sister again!"

Xiao Wei also raised his head at this moment. He glanced at the silent old lady Xiao, only to see that she was resting with her eyes closed, turning a deaf ear to the disputes outside.

He knew that if San Ya had not been brave enough to kill three wolves last night, the whole family would have been killed by the wolves.

"If you dare to say a bad word about my San Ya again, I will punish you!"

When Wang saw that even the usually taciturn Xiao Wei dared to confront her, her second sister-in-law, she was shocked and felt resentful.

She turned to look at her husband Xiao You and asked, "My husband, they teamed up to bully me, why didn't you speak up for me?"

Xiao You's face turned pale, and his eyes were as cold as ice as he pierced Wang.

He shouted, "Shut up, you! Isn't it embarrassing enough?"

Every word was like a heavy hammer, hitting Wang's heart hard, making her face stiff instantly.

At this moment, Xiao You was filled with helplessness and anger towards his aggressive and impulsive daughter-in-law.

If Wang and Xiao Zhixue had not been arguing over trivial matters, attracting the attention of the neighbors, how could her son Xiao Yunkai have met with such an unexpected disaster in the chaos, been hit by a flying stone, and even been threatened with a knife, with his life hanging by a thread.

All these disasters were caused by Wang's reckless behavior, which brought about this unexpected disaster.

Wang was filled with anger when she saw that her husband not only did not stand up for her but instead blamed her mercilessly.

She suppressed the rebuttal that was about to come out of her mouth and returned to her seat angrily.

Xiao Zhixue, who was standing by, saw Wang's furious look and couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth slightly, and let out a low chuckle behind her hand.

Xiao Zhixue was not distracted by the recent commotion. She swiftly washed the freshly picked wild vegetables and precious herbs with skillful and focused movements.

Turning and walking towards the stove, she threw all the wild vegetables into the boiling water, and saw them rolling up and down in the water.

She quickly crushed the herbs and squeezed out the green juice. She carefully applied the cool liquid to the wound on Xiao Tingrui's cheek.

But in just a moment, the redness, swelling and stinging pain of the wound miraculously subsided, leaving only a faint bruise.

Xiao Tingrui admired Xiao Zhixue's medical skills in his heart. However, considering that if the fact that his younger sister was proficient in medicine were to be leaked, it might bring unnecessary trouble to the family, he had to swallow his words of praise silently.

At this time, the steam in the pot became thicker and rose up.

Xiao Zhixue put the carefully cut wolf meat into the pot. With a "sizzling" sound, a rich meaty aroma instantly burst out and spread throughout the entire camp, attracting the attention of the surrounding villagers who had fled famine and salivating.

Especially the Xiao family, their eyeballs almost popped out of their sockets, staring at the pot closely, as if they could see the tempting wolf meat inside through the lid.

Who would have thought that Xiao Zhixue, who seemed dull and stupid on weekdays, could accurately predict today's situation.

The third brother’s family did have meat to eat.

In contrast, we at home could only eat multi-grain cakes that were as dry and hard as rocks to barely fill our stomachs.

Thinking of all the setbacks she encountered while fleeing famine, Old Lady Xiao became even more resentful.

First, the chickens and ducks that the family brought with them got lost on the way down the mountain. Everyone chased them in vain, which delayed their journey and caused them to be separated from the main group.

Furthermore, the fish, which were originally intended as emergency food, had already begun to emit a foul odor in the package due to the high temperature and humidity, making people avoid it.

These successive blows caused Mrs. Xiao to complain more and more about the second wife's family.

Fortunately, in the most difficult times, they met the kind villagers of Shangqiao Village.

Seeing the Xiao family in such a state of destitution, the village chief felt compassion and made an exception to allow them to join the team fleeing famine, to share resources and overcome difficulties together.

Soon, the wolf meat was stewed in the pot until it was well-cooked, full of fat and fragrant.

Xiao Zhixue's family sat together, holding up their bowls and chopsticks without any scruples, enjoying this rare delicacy to their heart's content.

Pretending to be silly and cute, he asked his mother Zhou Shuqiong innocently, "Mom, is the meat delicious? I cooked it according to the method you taught me!"

Zhou Shuqiong naturally understood her daughter's thoughts, and she cooperated without making a sound.

He picked up a piece of wolf meat with fat and lean parts and put it into Xiao Zhixue's bowl. With a satisfied smile on his face, he praised: "San Ya is really smart and clever. She learns so quickly. I'm afraid she will become a chef in a restaurant in the future!"

After hearing this, Xiao Zhixue smiled naively, lowered her head, and chewed the wolf meat in the bowl in big mouthfuls, enjoying it very much.

When Wang, who was standing by, heard this, she snorted coldly and glared at Zhou Shuqiong with a look as fierce as a knife.

A fool wants to be a chef in a restaurant, isn't he afraid of being laughed at?

Xiao Yunkai sat aside, watching Xiao Wei's family eat heartily, his saliva almost dripping from the corners of his mouth.

Thinking back to when he was at home, he could taste delicious meat almost every day. But now, fleeing from famine, he has endured a day and a night of hunger, which is really unbearable.

He stared at the fool who was eating heartily not far away, his eyes full of jealousy and resentment.

Xiao Yunkai angrily threw away the dry biscuit in his hand that was as hard as a rock, and shouted at his mother Wang: "Mom, I want to eat meat too! Hurry and bring the meat to me!"

As soon as Wang saw the pot of meat, doubts surged in her heart like a tide.

They fled together with Xiao Wei's family. At that time, Xiao Wei's family clearly did not catch any poultry. How could they stew such a delicious dish in such a short time?

The source of this meat is undoubtedly suspicious.

Wang thought to herself: This meat must have been stolen by them!

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but get furious and determined to fight for her family's due rights.

Wang suddenly stood up from the stool, her skirt slightly lifted, and walked straight towards the pot with a resolute momentum, completely ignoring the eyes and comments of the people around her.

Just as her hand was about to touch the edge of the pot and she was about to grab it, she heard a crisp "pop" sound.
