When Su Mian woke up, there was only a handful of bitter wild vegetables in the pot, and there were hungry and jealous homeless people outside the door, with two children as skinny as kittens huddled in their arms. Her mother-in-law scolded her for being unlucky, her brother-in-law told her to get out of the team, and everyone was waiting to see her starve to death.
Instead, she blanched the wild vegetables to remove the bitterness, mixed them with acorn powder, and cooked up a pot of hot soup that was so fragrant that it made people cry.
From that day on, the person who should not be offended the most in the fleeing team was not the clan leader or the strong man, but the young widow in charge of the spoon. Until one night, the seriously injured man she rescued opened his eyes and asked her in a low voice: "Do you want food, or do you want peace in the world?"
