Jiang Like hurriedly blocked his brother who was eating porridge behind him, and spoke with a confused look in his eyes.
"There's nothing to eat, just a potato."
Hearing this, the woman came over aggressively and looked specifically at the Jun's pot. Smelling the aroma of meat in the air, her eyes fell on the bowl of porridge behind Jiang Like.
"Bring the porridge, I'll give it to the old lady."
Jiang Like couldn't help but take half a step back.
"We earned this ourselves..."
When the woman heard this, she reached out and snatched the potatoes from his hand.
"Bring it all, whatever is yours, your surname is Jiang, your things naturally belong to the Jiang family. The Jiang family's things must be filial to the old lady first, not to mention that you are a bastard, and the things in your hands should not belong to me. Is it arranged by my aunt?"
The young man who followed the lady also spoke.
"Jiang Like, has it been too long since you were beaten? You have even forgotten the rules of respect for concubines."
The young man's eyes darkened when he heard this, and his evasive hands stopped.
The lady proudly reached for the potatoes.
"Bring it here, do you deserve this for a bastard?"
Su Hanchu couldn't stand it.
"Jiang Like, this is exile. Now we are all common people. No one is nobler than anyone else. If you can't protect a potato today, how will you protect your brother along the way?"
When Jiang Like heard this, it was like a blow to the head. He suddenly came to his senses and suddenly snatched the potatoes back from the woman's hand.
"Mrs. Jiang, this food is not for nothing. It's just that the young lady of the Jun family is kind-hearted. Seeing that I can still carry some luggage, she will give my brother and I a way to survive. There is no need for Mrs. Jiang to even do this. She has to grab everything to eat, and she has lost her Madam Chiang demeanor."
Mrs. Jiang became angry when she heard this.
"You little bastard, how dare you talk back to me, let's see if I don't tear your mouth apart."
Jiang Like turned his head with some fear and opened Mrs. Jiang's slap. Seeing Mrs. Jiang's second slap, he raised his hand to catch her wrist.
"Mrs. Jiang, what exactly do you want to do? You know it in your heart, and I know it in my heart. It's better to stop making trouble, save some strength, and continue on your way tomorrow."
When the young man behind Mrs. Jiang saw this, he swung his fist at Jiang Like.
"How dare you, you bastard, dare to attack your own aunt."
The girl behind Mrs. Jiang also spoke.
"Brother Li Ke, your mother also wants to remind you to be filial to your grandmother. Even if you don't listen, how can you still attack your mother? This is disobedient and unfilial, and you will be punished by God..."
Jiang Like's younger brother Jiang Liheng came to Su Hanchu with the half bowl of porridge left in his hand.
"Young madam, can you please hold it for me? This belongs to my brother."
Su Hanchu reached out and took it, showing a comforting smile.
"sure."
Jiang Liheng ran over and hit Mrs. Jiang in the stomach.
"Don't bully my brother..."
Jiang Like fought with the young man from the Jiang family.
"Don't bully others too much."
Su Hanchu looked at this farce and realized that Jiang Like would have to carry his luggage tomorrow! Moreover, it is rare for this young man to care for his younger brother in such a difficult situation.
"Mrs. Jiang, right? Isn't it inappropriate to come to my Jun family to cause trouble?"
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Jiang immediately spoke unconvinced.
"Mrs. Jun, this is our Jiang family's business. What does it have to do with your Jun family? Please don't meddle in other people's business."
When Su Han first heard this, he looked at her with a sharp look.
"Mrs. Jiang, this is the place where my Jun family belongs. You come here to make a scene and disturb the rest of our Jun family. You also say that I am nosy? Please leave Mrs. Jiang. We are going to rest."
Mrs. Jiang spoke hurriedly when she heard this.
"I'm just here to teach us Jiang family members..."
Jun Moye suddenly spoke loudly.
"Jiang family, please call your people back. If you cause trouble again, don't blame our Jun family for being rude."
Soon, a man from the Jiang family hurried over and took Mrs. Jiang's wrist.
"Why don't you go back, you are a disgrace."
I think this is the master of the Jiang family.
The boy who was fighting with Jiang Like had no choice but to stop.
Mrs. Jiang struggled to speak.
"Shameful? What's the shame of me educating my own children? You're a loser. Others can find food for you. Why can't you find it? How can you have the face to see your wife, children, and children hungry..."
There was a "pop" sound, and the master slapped Mrs. Jiang on the face.
"Stupid woman, if you continue to make trouble, I will divorce you."
Mrs. Jiang covered her beaten face and looked at Mr. Jiang's warning eyes without daring to speak.
Mr. Jiang looked at Jiang Like.
"Aren't you going back to Jiang's house?"
Jiang Like had suppressed anger on his face.
"Father, my brother and I can help the Jun family with the work, and we can still have something to eat, which can save my father some trouble. For the sake of my mother's recent death, my father, let me and my brother have a way out!"
Master Jiang had a look of guilt on his face when he heard this.
"That's all, you've grown up, so let's do whatever you want. There's really nothing we can do about your mother's matter. This is on the road to exile, not the imperial city. If this were in the imperial city..."
Jiang Like heard this and interrupted him.
"Father, this is the Jun family. There is no need to disturb the young lady and the others by talking about past events."
Mr. Jiang nodded slightly when he heard this.
Pulling Mrs. Jiang away.
At the same time, he glanced at the brother and sister of the Jiang family.
"Why don't you go back? Do you have to be embarrassed with your mother?"
Seeing this, the boy and the girl had no choice but to follow him and leave. Before leaving, they glanced at Jiang Like fiercely.
He muttered something.
"Little bastard."
Hearing this, Jiang Like clenched his fists tightly and gritted his back teeth. He was unwilling to give in, but seemed to be used to such insults.
Su Hanchu poured some of his porridge into his bowl, brought it over and handed it to him.
"This is what your brother left for you. Eat it quickly. Only when you are full will you have the strength to go on the road tomorrow."
Jiang Like raised his eyes and looked at the large bowl of porridge. He naturally understood that the young lady had added some more porridge for him.
He had been bullied by Mrs. Chiang and the direct descendants of the Chiang family since he was a child. On the way to exile, his mother fell ill and did not survive the illness. He carried her on his back and walked all afternoon. At night, he and his brother quietly dug a hole with wooden sticks. , just enough to bury his mother’s body.
No one in the Jiang family cared about it, even his own father just looked at it indifferently, and then went to report to the police officer that one of the Jiang family members had frozen to death.
I didn't expect that the Jun family could still give me and my brother a way to survive. After taking the porridge, I felt the warmth in my hands and couldn't help but blush. If my mother could eat a bowl of hot porridge, would she have lost it? Kill yourself and your brother?
"Thank you, madam."
When Su Han first heard this, he was about to say something.
However, Chuntao and the others came over with bundles of firewood that were stained with snow or even frozen.
"Young lady, we found some firewood, but the fire won't burn. We'll give you the firewood. Can you let the children warm themselves by the fire?"
