Chapter 73: Craving fried eggs, he found a nest of wild eggs.
Other women not only travel all day, but also have to carry their children and luggage.
Shen Yuehua believes she has been good enough to her daughters-in-law.
She used to be kind and gentle to her two daughters-in-law because they got along well with Su Wanwan.
Su Wanwan is no longer a member of the Su family; she has already returned to the Lin family.
Her tolerance was naturally low given that her eldest daughter-in-law treated her own daughter this way.
"Su Chang'an, if you want to eat something tonight, ask your wife to come down and cook, or you can cook for her."
Su Chang'an felt utterly exhausted.
I finally got a chance to rest for a while, but then the house started making a ruckus.
He was too weak to argue with anyone, so he woke up Li Jiao'e, who was lying in the car.
"Can you please stop making our parents angry? Do you want to go hungry or something? Hurry up and go help!"
Li Jiao'e was seething with anger, wanting to lash out but not daring to. She closed her eyes, hugged her son, and ignored him.
Su Chang'an also lost his temper and slapped her leg hard.
"Get up and stop pretending to be dead! If you don't want to eat, don't drag me and my son down with you!"
Li Jiao'e sat up abruptly in pain, glaring angrily at Su Chang'an.
"I'm exhausted, can't I just rest quietly for a while?"
"Didn't Mother and Second Brother's wife already go to cook? It's just porridge, how many people do we need to make it!"
Su Chang'an suppressed his anger and forcibly dragged the person out of the car and pushed him towards the fire.
“Mother, if she doesn’t do it, please punish her alone. I’ve been driving all day, you can’t implicate me,” Su Chang’an said to Shen Yuehua in a kind and gentle voice.
He hadn't eaten his fill for several meals. With such a strenuous journey, he couldn't afford to go without food, or he would die on the road.
Shen Yuehua ignored the young couple and deftly sliced the cured meat and added it to the porridge.
"Tell your wife to go find some wild vegetables nearby. We haven't eaten vegetables in so long. Can your stomachs handle it? Don't you have any eyes to help? Can't you see what other people's wives and children are doing?"
Li Jiao'e looked at the thick white rice porridge filled with red cured and preserved meat, and unconsciously licked her lips.
She can stubbornly maintain her composure if she doesn't see food, but she can't resist the aroma of delicious food.
Without saying anything more, he lit a torch and started clearing the grass on the nearby mountain.
The grass on the ground had long since turned yellow and withered, and there were no edible wild vegetables to be found by the roadside.
Unless you venture deep into the mountains, you might still find some.
Li Jiao'e gave up after searching for a few minutes. Seeing that no one else had found anything, she simply found a place to slack off.
Shen Shuli really wanted to eat fried eggs, but they didn't have any eggs at all.
People are suffering from drought and have nothing to eat, let alone feed chickens to lay eggs. Every household has already killed their chickens and eaten them.
Shen Shuli glanced at the small hill behind her, thought for a moment, and then walked out.
Reaching a secluded spot, she took out a hen with reddish-brown feathers from her spatial storage and placed twenty or thirty eggs in a nearby haystack.
She keeps a lot of chickens, ducks, and geese in her online space, of all kinds, some of which are specifically for laying eggs.
The yield is exceptionally high.
She used to only have time to collect eggs once every few days.
Some eggs are trampled and pecked by poultry.
Leave the rotten land to let them produce and consume their own products.
Pick up all the good ones and store them in the warehouse.
I've already saved a lot.
In order to get some eggs for herself and her family to supplement their nutrition, she could only pretend that she had hunted a pheasant.
With a delighted expression, she shook the eggs with the hem of her dress, and quickly returned to the group, clutching an old hen in her hand.
Shen Shuli and Shen Yuehua blinked and exclaimed in surprise, "Mother, look what I found!"
"It's a nest of eggs. This old hen was probably preparing to incubate them, but I collected them all."
"Mom, I want to eat fried eggs. You can cook the rest and give half an egg to each of us and Grandpa's family."
They were indeed two maternal grandfathers. Their two families, along with the Su family, numbered over thirty people.
Each person can get a maximum of half an egg.
Moreover, a hen can only incubate a maximum of twenty or thirty eggs; any more than that would be unreasonable.
This is all she can offer.
Actually, making an egg drop soup would be the best way to allocate resources reasonably, but with water scarcity these days, there isn't much water to waste.
Shen Yuehua understood that her daughter had taken these supplies from her spatial storage to help them recover, and her eyes were filled with gratitude.
"Girl, you're so lucky. Last time you encountered a snake and ten rabbits, and this time you've found a hen and so many eggs."
"My daughter is so lucky, she actually got slandered and falsely accused. She's a complete idiot with no brains." Shen Yuehua cursed loudly and bluntly.
It was intentional, so that Li Jiao'e could hear it.
And so did the members of the Su family who were eagerly gathered around the pot.
Li Jiao'e and the Su family couldn't hear what Shen Yuehua was cursing at all.
Everyone stared longingly at that bag of eggs!
My eyes were glued to the screen!
Let alone now that we're on the road fleeing famine, even in normal times, not everyone can eat eggs every meal!
Who wouldn't be envious!
Li Jiao'e stepped forward to snatch the egg, saying cheerfully, "Let me boil this egg. I'm very good at boiling eggs."
Shen Yuehua pushed the person away and made it clear from the outset, saying loudly, "Get out of the way. Let me make it clear beforehand that these eggs were found by my daughter. They belong to her. She has the right to eat them and distribute them however she wants. No one else has the right to interfere."
Li Jiao'e was furious!
Looks like she won't get a share again!
She knew her sister-in-law was deliberately targeting her!
Shen Shuli put the eggs into the straw basket that Shen Yuehua brought, and said with a smile, "Mother, I don't know how long these eggs have been here. They can't be kept in this hot weather. Let's boil them all and give some to our two maternal grandfathers as well."
"We'll stew this hen and give it to each person to have a bite, and add some ginseng slices."
Zhang Songbai gave the remaining 20-year-old space ginseng to Shen Shuli after using it twice.
With a few ginseng roots left, Shen Shuli decided to use them all to make chicken soup, and secretly add some spiritual spring medicinal wine as well.
The injuries of my uncles and cousins have mostly healed.
But she was worried that traveling would increase their burden, so she needed to find an opportunity to give them more nourishment.
Shen Yuehua did not refuse.
She knew her daughter had plenty of these things in her space, but those of them who were on the road wouldn't be able to keep up physically.
When Old Lady Shen saw that this brat was so lucky to have caught a hen and eggs, she immediately sent her eldest daughter-in-law and third daughter-in-law, as well as the two good-for-nothing girls from the third wife's family, up the mountain to find wild chickens.
That brat was so lucky to run into one so soon after she went up the mountain, which means there are plenty of pheasants in the mountains.
They will definitely meet them too.
Once they find the pheasant, they'll have to boil it into soup.
Grandma Su immediately came to Su Yunhai's side and said hesitantly, "Son, your mother really has no other choice. Your father, mother, and your brothers' families have not had any water for two days. Please give your mother some water, even if it's just for this meal."
"You brought so much water, you can't just stand by and watch your loved ones die of thirst and hunger."
