Chapter 6 Ginger, why are you so petty?

ter-in-law was almost bought off by a pastry again. This time, she was well-prepared and gave everyone a bamboo tube of water each.On the road, she picked some more wild vegetables. At this point, Son..."I don't drink!"

Song Jiuchi was stubborn and turned away, refusing to drink the water from this wicked woman.

Song Big Wife again passed water to Song Jiuli, Song Jiuli this little girl is different, dislikes dislike return dislikes, but does not affect her eating.

So she drank a few sips of water, but her face remained sour towards the ginger candy.

Seeing them all drink water together, so affectionate and warm, Shen Qian’s eyes twinkled as she said:

"Grandma, we're not capable of anything more than offering you white steamed buns. Are you thirsty"

Is this intentional to annoy them Jiang Wan took a bite of the dark steamed bun and watched Shen Qian's performance nonchalantly.

Old Mrs. Song swallowed the steamed bun with difficulty, her throat dry and scratchy. She mumbled in a low voice:

"After traveling so far, who wouldn't be thirsty"

Her mouth was so parched it felt like it would start to foam. She'd never suffered such torment before.

"Sister-in-law, you can't just take care of yourselves and ignore your mother-in-law, can you"

Song Erniang looked pointedly at the eldest daughter-in-law. Her sister-in-law was the meekest and easiest to manipulate; a single word from her would have the water pouch filled with ginger tea delivered.

As expected, Song's lady looked at Jiang Wan with some hesitation. Jiang Wan, however, replied in a cold tone:

"When you guys were exchanging steamed buns, why didn't you say to help us out I remember we hadn't split the family yet, right"

It's just a little water, she's not stingy, but she can't stand to see these people proud.

Song Dajie just wanted to send the water pouch outside and hurriedly took it back. Indeed, they hadn't officially split their household yet, they were still a family.

But they had already made it very clear before that.

Can that be the same

Song Erniang's mouth was full of sophistry, "We all respect our mother, you have to respect her too."

"Mother, we must be filial to our grandmother."

Song Jiuli had been close to her grandmother since she was a child. Seeing her grandmother purse her lips, she immediately felt pity. Her grandmother must be thirsty.

Song Dalian's was again in a state of turmoil, she was naturally soft-hearted after all, but this matter just wasn’t hers to deal with. Πb.γ

Then she looked at Jiang Wan, who walked a few steps over and directly took the pouch away. Her eyes fell coldly on Shen Qian's package.

"If I'm not mistaken, you have a water bladder in your package."

Besides the water pouch, there was also some dry food. Shen Qian didn't want to share it with everyone and had been hiding it all along. Unexpectedly, she was caught by Jiang Wan.

She immediately looked very displeased, tightly clutching her package and said angrily:

"For you to filial piety to your grandmother, you still shirk."

"My water and yours can't be compared. Our water comes straight from the river. Since we're honoring our grandmother, we naturally have to use the best, don't we"

Ginger was eloquent, her words flowing like water. The old lady’s eyes were fixed on Shen Qian, a predatory glint in them. Indeed, she desired the very best.

Facing the old lady's gaze, Shen Qian felt extremely reluctant in her heart, however, her husband Song Chen had already spoken.

"Qianqian, as juniors, we can't disappoint our grandmother."

"Hmm."

Shen Qian pulled a face and opened the package, afraid that others would see what was inside. She quickly took out the waterskin and handed it to the old lady.

"Grandmother, Qianqian isn't being disrespectful to you. I just want to keep it and take it out later."

She looked meaningfully at Ginger Bundles, clearly letting the old lady make a comparison.

Elder Song nodded in satisfaction, "Rest assured, grandmother knows you are filial, unlike some white-eyed wolves."

This is practically saying it outright. Song Jiu-li glared angrily at Jiang Wan, "Jiang Wan, why are you so petty!"

That's their grandmother!

“You are capable and generous, go find your own food!”

Ginger retorted in a single sentence, leaving Song Jiu's face pale and flushed. "Fine, then I'll find something to eat myself!"

Song Jiuli let out a harsh warning. The little girl had never suffered so much grievance before. Everything that happened today made her cry until she ran out of tears.

Ginger didn't care about her, she let her cry, and instead looked at Song Jiubian who was resting with his eyes closed.

Song Jiubian was injured so deeply, eating black noodles every day wasn't a good idea. But this whole family was too complex; Jiang Wan didn't have the intention of raising so many people.

So...it's best to split up, but this matter of splitting the family, still depends on Song Jiubian.

During those moments of daydreaming, the officials had already rested well and urged them to continue their journey.

These pampered bodies aren't built for this kind of hardship. Everyone is gritting their teeth and pushing through in the second half.

Actually, Ginger was no exception. After all, the original owner was delicate and frail. This body naturally couldn't take it, but she was gritting her teeth and persevering.

Not only that, but she also took out the medicinal herbs for tempering her body from her past life and used her journey as a way to strengthen herself.

According to the original plot, a wave of disaster will soon arrive. Without a strong body, she won't be able to protect herself.

"Mother!"

Suddenly, Song Jiuli screamed. It turned out that Meiren Niang had fainted.

Song Daniu's body was originally weak. After enduring for so long, it was expected that she would faint now.

Even the old woman's body is more robust than hers.

What's going on

The official approached with a grim expression, looking fierce and menacing. There was impatience in his eyes.

Song Jiuli only knew how to cry, she wouldn't answer back even with coos. Jiang Wan could only say, "My mother is frail and weak, she probably fainted from exhaustion."

"Sickly!"

Song Erniang muttered a sentence, successfully making the officer's face darken, and Song Jiuli, seeing the whip in the officer's hand, burst into tears again.

"Sir."

"I know this will delay our travel progress," Jiang Wan sighed, "Let me carry her."

She started to regret it, wondering if following this family into exile was the right decision.

Ke could feel the helplessness and sadness in Song Jiuxian's eyes as he leaned against Song Jiuyuan's back. Jiang Wan, deep down, felt this was right.

"Alright, you carry her on your back. Don't fall behind!"

The official's face finally looked a little better. This time, Song Ji-chi and Song Ji-ri didn't pick on her either. They each silently watched her carry Song Da-niang onto her back.

Mrs. Song was frail, not fat, but for a delicate woman like Ginger, she was truly a burden.

But Jiang Wan steadily carried the person on her back, gritting her teeth to keep up with the team's pace. This couldn't help but earn her a look of approval from the officials.

Song Daniu was indeed exhausted and fainted. Because Ginger bundled her on his back for a while, she woke up. As soon as she woke up, she was still on Ginger's back. She felt embarrassed inside.

"Ginger, please let me down. I can walk."

She seemed to have recovered her spirits well, and Ginger didn't force her, letting her down. But her forehead was already covered in sweat.

This moved Song's young lady, she had a somewhat changed view of Ginger. Perhaps those previous underhanded tactics were employed by the Minister's Residence and this girl was just being taken advantage of

Thinking about the broken relationship between her daughter and the Shangshu's residence at Changting Pavilion, Lady Song felt that this approach was right. Therefore, her attitude towards Ginger Braid softened a lot.

"Good child, thank you."

That's right.

Jiang Wan wiped a hand across his brow, mumbled a casual excuse, and slowly walked to the back of the line. Then, he took out a chocolate bar from his spatial pouch.

She quietly took a bite to replenish her energy, but didn't dare eat too much. She hadn't stockpiled much chocolate in her past life, so she couldn't waste it.to flee once more.It wasn't until they escaped the foot of the mountain that they realized it had collapsed. Thankfully, the main collapse wasn't on their side, but on the other.But it was terrifying...
