After Escaping Famine, Three-Year-Old Fu Bao Became Everyone’s Favorite

During the famine, a sack of grain was traded for a little girl. Everyone thought the family had lost their minds.

But ever since they adopted little Qingtian, it was as if their lives had be...

Chapter 112: Could there be something unclean?

Earlier on the road, after the donkey’s leg broke, Widow Liu became very upset as she watched the Ye family walking further and further away.

After waiting for a long time, no one else passing by came to help, and the donkey's braying made people very annoyed.

She checked the injury on the donkey's leg and found it was very serious.

Even if you don't die, your ability to pull a cart or grind a mill will be affected in the future.

Widow Liu ordered Wang Dahu to slaughter the donkey directly on the road.

Not only did this trip make him so embarrassed, but he also lost the only donkey in the family.

All this made Widow Liu feel ashamed.

If she wasn't worried that the donkey meat would be hard to sell because it wasn't fresh, she would have wanted to go home directly.

She was afraid of being unlucky and running into acquaintances along the way. When she finally saw the county town gate and thought she could finally breathe a sigh of relief, she ran into the Ye family head-on.

Widow Liu wanted to cover her face.

Unexpectedly, no one in the Ye family paid any attention to her. Instead, Mrs. Ye kept looking at Jiang with sympathy.

Originally, she didn't want to be seen, for fear of being laughed at.

But being directly ignored made Widow Liu feel even worse.

Widow Liu was upset but she never suppressed her feelings. She turned around and glared at Jiang, cursing, "It's all your fault, you unlucky star. You insisted on taking that damn girl to the city for medical treatment.

"How else could such a thing happen? A good donkey can be used for several more years at least.

“Now, all I can do is sell meat!

"The autumn harvest is just around the corner, and buying large livestock at this time is both expensive and uneconomical.

"I've had enough of you guys day in and day out. I can't even take care of everything inside and outside of the house while you guys keep squandering money!"

Jiang had walked all the way here carrying the child on her back, without even having a sip of water to drink, and was already so tired that she felt dizzy and dazed.

Now she was being scolded by Widow Liu for no apparent reason. She did not dare to defend herself and just listened with her head down.

Widow Liu cursed for a long time, but when she saw that Jiang remained silent, she felt bored.

In addition, she was hungry and thirsty, so she stopped talking.

After waiting for a long time, I finally entered the city gate.

Wang Zhengbao immediately yelled, "Grandma, I'm starving! I want to eat!"

"Second brother, did you hear that? Zhengbao is hungry. You must be hungry too, right? Hurry up and find a place to eat." Widow Liu urged, "After you finish eating, go sell the donkey."

Jiang's heart was full of Chunhua at this moment, and she hurriedly said, "Mother, Chunhua..."

She had just started when she was interrupted by Widow Liu.

Widow Liu threw her a small string of copper coins and said, "If you're not hungry, take her to see a doctor. Stop nagging me here. It's so annoying!"

Jiang picked up the copper coins thrown on the ground with great effort. It was only fifty cents at most.

Although the consultation fee is not expensive, Chunhua has such a high fever that she must be prescribed medicine. How can this be possible?

While Jiang was thinking about how to get Widow Liu to give her more money, Wang Dahu had already driven away in his cart.

Along the way, Jiang's back was burning hot from Chunhua's burning sensation. She didn't dare to delay any longer and went straight to the clinic with the child on her back.

At this time, the Ye family was already on their way home.

Seeing that there was no one around, Mrs. Ye couldn't help but sigh to Old Madam Ye, "Mom, I'm lucky to have such a good mother-in-law like you and a good man like Qingtian's father. Otherwise, I don't know how much suffering I would have endured in my life!"

"You've contributed a lot to this family over the years. Isn't this mutual?"

When Old Mrs. Ye thought of Widow Liu, her face immediately turned disgusted.

"It's really hard to understand what Widow Liu is like!

"Let's not talk about anything else, just look at the moral character she has brought up in her two sons and one daughter. When she gets old, who can she rely on?

"In the end, doesn't her daughter-in-law have to serve her?

"If you bully her now, she will die instantly.

"Otherwise, sooner or later she will have to pay back the debt."

Qingtian leaned against Mrs. Ye and listened obediently to the conversation between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

However, she only understood half of what Old Lady Ye said and didn't quite comprehend it.

Soon Qingtian began to feel drowsy, his little head nodding, but he tried to stay awake.

Unexpectedly, the wheel ran over a small stone and the car body was bumped.

Qingtian plunged headfirst into the pile of things he had bought in the city.

Fortunately, there was no hard object and there was cloth on top, so I was not injured.

Mrs. Ye quickly helped her up and carefully checked her. Still worried, she asked, "Did you get hurt? Does your head hurt?"

"No." Qingtian yawned. "It's soft, it doesn't hurt."

Mrs. Ye finally breathed a sigh of relief and turned around to complain to Mr. Ye: "Look at you, how you pulled the cart, you almost made Qingtian fall."

"I didn't notice it because the road here was pretty flat." Boss Ye said repeatedly, "Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on it.

"But you should hold her, don't let her sit by herself!"

There was no need for him to remind her of this, as Mrs. Ye had already held Qingtian in her arms.

I usually take a nap at home on sunny days, so I was too sleepy to open my eyes.

Seeing Qingtian trying hard to keep her eyelids open, Sister Ye patted her and said, "Go to sleep if you're tired. Mom will hold you. Don't force yourself."

Upon hearing this, Old Lady Ye originally wanted to say that Qingtian should not take a nap yet, otherwise he would not be able to sleep early after returning home, and it would be bad if he could not get up tomorrow morning.

But then she thought again, if she can't get up, then she can just wrap herself in a blanket and let Mrs. Ye hold her in her arms and continue sleeping in the car.
