The rice mortar was made of stone and weighed over a hundred pounds. Yao Feiran lifted it with one hand and threw it, missing the nearest person by only a few centimeters. The person was terrified and broke out in a cold sweat.

"If you dare touch me, I'll take you all down with me!" Yao Feiran still held a knife in her hand, staring at them with murderous intent.

For some reason, everyone present broke out in a cold sweat after making eye contact with Yao Feiran, as if she had become a completely different person.

The surroundings were silent. Yao Feiran withdrew her imposing manner and sat back down on the stool.

"Forget it, I'm too lazy to argue with you about this. Let's separate. I don't need you to support me. I'll raise the two kids on my own."

It took Zheng Sheshan a while to come to his senses. Yao Zhusheng said in a deep voice, "Uncle Yao, please write up the family division document. Everything in this house belongs to my father. He already said before that it would all be given to me."

"I don't need any of this, but I want half of the rice in the jar. I've been working every day since I came here, and you've been controlling the money. If you don't give it to me, I'll just throw it away. I won't eat it at all."

Fortunately, there are no clans in this place, otherwise they would not have allowed her to bring her child. Of course, another reason is that the harvest has been poor in recent years, and no one wants to have another mouth to feed.

Yao Zhusheng knew that Yao Feiran was capable of anything now, and didn't ask for much, so his eyes flickered: "Okay."

Zheng Sheshan looked at Yao Feiran with pity. Why did she have to be so reckless? A woman with two children and nothing at all, let's see how they survive.

Yao Feiran didn't care about these things. There was an abandoned house nearby in the village. Although it was drafty, it could be moved into after some repairs.

After Zheng Sheshan finished writing the document for dividing the family property, signed and sealed it, Yao Feiran put it in her pocket and took her own luggage from the room, dragging along a large bed.

Everyone was numb to Yao Feiran's series of actions.

Before leaving, Yao Feiran said calmly, "Last night, my master appeared in my dream and said that the eldest brother is heartless and ruthless, and I can only rely on myself. Otherwise, how could I be so strong? It's all thanks to the immortals that my master prayed for me."

The original owner of this body and her husband had a fairly good relationship. Yao Feiran was surprisingly strong today, so most of them believed her after hearing this, and looked at Zheng Sheshan with strange eyes.

Some people who weren't relatives thought it best to stay away from Zheng Zhusheng. Even his own father said he was heartless and ungrateful. Was he really an unfilial person?

Zheng Zhu was so angry that his breathing became heavy, but his usual personality prevented him from doing anything. Wang Douniang jumped out and shouted, "You all believe this nonsense? All these immortals are fake. You're so stupid!"

This offended many people. In this dynasty, taxes are heavy, and the poor have nowhere else to turn but to their faith. Wang Douniang's words implied that they were all fools.

"Alright, that's enough."

Zheng Zhushan, somewhat annoyed, stopped Wang Douniang.

By this time, Yao Feiran had already left. She took the two children to the dilapidated house, which was dusty, drafty, and leaky, with a large hole in the door.

Zheng Xiaotao stepped back and sneezed.

"Mother, will we be living here from now on?"

"That's right, let's start working together now, cleaning."

Yao Feiran stared at the two radish heads. Although they were young, they were both good at working. Several hours later, everything in the room was cleaned up. Except for the environment being a bit dark, at least they wouldn't inhale any dust.

Yao Feiran moved the bed she had dragged into the room, placed the bag of rice beside it, and lay down to think of a solution.

In this world, if someone wants to settle permanently in a county town, they need a certificate issued by the village head, and then apply for a migration permit in a county town within a hundred miles.

The village head didn't have a good impression of Yao Feiran and probably wanted to bribe him.

Money wasn't the issue; Yao Feiran still had a space that hadn't been activated yet.

The Reversal of Fate Bead: "I can't open it, I'm out of energy. I used it all to develop new cultivation techniques."

"..."

She suspected that the Fate-Reversing Bead was deceiving him.

Thinking that they hadn't reached the end of their rope yet, Yao Feiran didn't dwell on it.

She made a fire by turning a log, found a pottery jar, fetched a bucket of water from nearby, put millet in and cooked it into porridge. There wasn't much entertainment in ancient times, so the three of them drank it and fell asleep.

The next day, Yao Feiran got up very early: "I have something to do outside. Remember to bring some water and don't linger by the river."

It wasn't that Yao Feiran was abusing child laborers; all the children in the village had to work, and there were many people at the water-fetching area.

"Okay, Mother." Zheng Xiaotao seemed a little nervous. "Mother, you must come back."

Zheng Qingrui also held onto Yao Feiran's hand tightly. They were still children and had been brought out by Yao Feiran, so they had nowhere to go.

"Don't wander off, Mother will be back at noon."

After giving her instructions, Yao Feiran went out. There was a young hunter in the village named Wu Zhuang, who made a living by hunting. He had fled from the village and was rather taciturn, not having much contact with the villagers.

Yao Feiran went over and knocked on the door. After a while, a woman opened the door; it was Peng Mian, Wu Zhuang's wife.

"Aunt Zheng, is there something you need?"

"I'd like to borrow a bow from your master."

"what?"

Hearing the commotion, Wu Zhuang came out, his expression indifferent: "What do you need the bow for?"

"I want to go hunting, and then I'll return the game to you as payment."

Wu Zhuang laughed out loud: "Hunting isn't that simple. It's not just about being strong; you also need accuracy."

"It's okay, I'll give it a try."

Wu Zhuang was silent for a moment, then took out his bow and arrow: "Do you see that tree outside the yard? If you can hit it, I'll lend it to you."

Before he could finish speaking, with a whoosh, the arrow flew out. Wu Zhuang walked out of the courtyard and saw that the arrowhead was completely embedded in the ground.

"hiss--"

Wu Zhuang wondered if the rumors from earlier that day were true, and why his father didn't ask him to have some magic powers.

"Okay, I'll lend it to you, but do you know how to track prey?"

"Won't."

"Come with me. I've seen deer tracks in the mountains recently. They go to the same place to forage every morning, but it's dangerous up there. There are a lot of wild animals. The two of us can work together. If you're scared, then forget it."

Peng Mian grabbed Wu Zhuang's sleeve worriedly, and Wu Zhuang patted her hand to comfort her.

Yao Feiran's expression remained unchanged: "I'm not afraid, please take me there."

Yao Feiran and Wu Zhuang went to that place and waited all morning, but did not see the deer herd come. They agreed to come back in the evening. Yao Feiran caught two wild rabbits and a pheasant on the way, so it was not a complete failure.

Wu Zhuang also caught a wild rabbit, and was dejected all the way, mainly because Yao Feiran reacted quickly and accurately, making him look like a complete idiot.

Yao Feiran handed the rabbit to Wu Zhuang: "Thank you for lending me your bow and arrows and for telling me hunting techniques. This is my reward."

"No need," Wu Zhuang waved his hand. "There are plenty of resources on this mountain. I can't handle it all by myself. For larger prey, it's better to cooperate."

"By the way, Aunt Zheng, your current place doesn't seem very convenient. Why don't you come to my house for dinner?"

"Okay, call me by my name. Consider this rabbit as our side dish. You can't refuse this time."

Cooking in that dilapidated house was too difficult, and Yao Feiran was too lazy to deal with the wild rabbit.

After saying goodbye to Wu Zhuang, I had just arrived at my doorstep when I saw Fang Suniang walking towards me with a few steamed buns.
