Jiang Gu clung to the doorway, revealing a round head with two small buns tied up, and timidly called out, "Sister-in-law."
Jiang Gu did not deliberately try to please her, but genuinely felt that Zhang Ling was a good person.
When Jiang Chuan was forced into the mountains by Old Madam Jiang, Jiang Gu often went hungry. She would wake up in the middle of the night due to hunger and sneak into the kitchen to find food.
One night in the kitchen, she ran into Zhang Ling, who was also up late. Jiang Gu thought she would be beaten up, but instead, Zhang Ling pulled out an egg hidden amongst the firewood. It was clear she had stashed it away secretly.
With an impatient expression, Zhang Ling tossed the egg to Jiang Gu, saying, "Eat it and don't tell anyone, or I'll beat you!"
