General, the lady escaped again

Chapter 6: Life-saving Grace (2)

It is shameful to waste food. Even a skilled cook cannot cook without seasoning...

When she walked out of the shabby house, she happened to see a house opposite. A figure just walked in. Looking at the woman's back, it seemed to be... the woman who woke her up yesterday?

What was her name? I think it was... Aunt Li?

Arriving in front of Aunt Li's yard, Ji Xiaowu knocked on the half-open door. Soon, Aunt Li came out and saw that it was Aunt Ji. She immediately asked, "Auntie, what's wrong? Is there anything you can help me with?"

The first thing that came to Aunt Li's mind was that Aunt Ji wanted to borrow food. She was thinking about how to convince her husband when she heard Aunt Ji say, "Aunt, there is nothing at home except a pot. I want to ask if I can borrow your kitchen to cook... or borrow some oil and salt."

When Aunt Li heard this, she thought it was no big deal. "Of course it's no problem. I also need to cook lunch, so I can help you."

"No, no, no, how can I trouble you? I can cook. Let me help you!" Aunt Ji said immediately. She couldn't borrow someone else's kitchen and ask the host to cook for her.

Aunt Li thought about it and nodded, "Okay! I'm busy too, so I'll trouble you to cook for my husband and son."

"Okay, thank you, Auntie. I'll go get something and be back soon." Aunt Ji said happily. She turned and walked towards the hut and brought the caught fish over.

"Mom...who is it?" Because they were close, when Ji Xiaomu came back with something, a voice was heard in the house. Judging from the voice, she seemed young and should be Aunt Li's daughter-in-law.

"I'm the old lady next door. She came to borrow our kitchen to cook a meal. How's the big baby? Is he full? Do you have enough milk?" Aunt Li explained loudly.

It seems that Aunt Li's daughter-in-law is in confinement after giving birth to a child.

"The eldest boy can eat it, so it should be enough..." The daughter-in-law seemed a little hesitant, with uneasiness in her words.

After hearing this, Auntie Ji roughly understood the situation and knocked on the door again. "Auntie, I'm here."

"Hey, I'm going to change the eldest baby's diaper right now. The kitchen is right next to the door. You can look for it." Aunt Li seemed to be busy. She told Ji Xiao to go find it herself.

"Okay, I'll go right away." Ji Xiaomu walked to the right and saw a small house, which should be the kitchen. She went in and saw that it was indeed the kitchen. Although it was simple, with just a large brick pot and a water tank next to it, it had all the necessary seasonings. So she started to prepare the big fish without saying a word.

After deftly removing the fish's internal organs, scraping off the scales, and marinating it with salt, Aunt Li walked into the kitchen.

Seeing the big fish in front of Ji Xiaomu, Aunt Li asked in astonishment, "Xiaomu, where did you get such a big fish? Look at the portion, it's quite a lot!!"

The villagers only saw meat a few times a year, let alone fish. Those were all fresh goods. Aunt Li was scared when Ji Xiaomu suddenly brought such a big fish.

"I woke up in the morning and had nothing to do, so I went to the lake in the mountains to catch them. Auntie, is your daughter-in-law in confinement after giving birth?" Aunt Ji explained with a smile.

Aunt Li came back to her senses and nodded, "That's right, she just gave birth to her first baby and is now in confinement!" After saying that, she looked at Ji Xiaou with pity. Everyone in the village knew that the reason why Ji Xiaou was divorced was that she could not have children. As a woman herself, Aunt Li knew what it meant for a woman to be unable to have children.

The Liu family is really a piece of shit. They just kicked people out like that.
