Li Qingyun transmigrated into a book she had read, becoming the male supporting character's early-deceased, vicious biological mother. She took on the responsibility of caring for and educating...
After Mrs. Gu left, Erbao also felt sleepy. After feeding him milk, she coaxed him to sleep and put him on the warm kang.
Li Qingyun began to tidy up the kang cabinet and found two old quilts, which were used by her original body in winter. A thicker quilt was prepared by Gu Tingzhou's mother when her original body married him.
There is also a thinner bed, which was also brought by the original body when she got married. It was used when Gu Tingzhou came to live here before he got married. It was used as a mattress in winter and spread under his body. It was used as a cover in spring and autumn.
Before Li Qingyun came, there were only two quilts in the house, and the original owner had used them for several years.
Because I have two children, there are inevitably times when I can't take care of them. There are a lot of urine and other unknown liquids on it, and there are white spots on it. It is really not clean, and it has a strange smell.
After Li Qingyun came, she washed them clean and put them away. She didn't want to use them because she thought they were dirty.
Although she didn't want to use it, it was still a good quilt after all, especially the thicker one. Although it didn't weigh seven or eight kilograms, it was at least five or six kilograms. It was enough to keep warm when covering it on the kang in winter.
The thin quilt weighs about three or four pounds, and it looks a little dirty. The old urine stains are difficult to clean, but the odor is gone. When you put on the quilt cover, you can't tell anything.
She definitely won't use these two quilts anymore. The family has already replaced the quilts in her own space. Now the eldest child can control his urination and won't wet the bed. The second child has diapers at night and won't wet the quilt when playing on the kang during the day. At most, he will just clean the kang.
After some thought, she decided to give the thick quilt to her parents-in-law. They had been frugal all their lives for their children, so the quilt must be from many years ago.
Although this quilt is discarded, it is actually in good condition. The original owner has only used it for a few years. It is much more comfortable than those old quilts in the village that have been used for more than ten years.
Although she has no feelings for Gu's father and mother, she still wants to live a good life with Gu Tingzhou. When she is able to do so, she still has to give his parents what they deserve and be filial to them. She still has some sense of propriety.
Including the original body's parents, when Li Qingyun first came here, although she looked down on them, she never thought of ignoring them. As long as they were nice to the three sisters, she would take care of them in their old age and provide them with living security to the best of her ability.
But they challenged Li Qingyun's patience again and again, pushing her into a desperate situation. In short, she would no longer care about those cruel parents.
Also, let's give this thin old quilt to Erniu. A few days ago, Dabao and Erniu went to his house to play. Dabao came back and said that Erniu didn't have a quilt for winter, so he covered himself with all his clothes to keep warm. Fortunately, there was a kang, which allowed him to keep warm. I really don't know how this child got through the past.
It’s sad to think about it, some people are born with a silver spoon in their mouth, while others are born into humble circumstances.
There is also a most pitiful type, such as Erniu, who was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, but was cast into the dust and endured hardships that he should not have endured.
According to Gu Tingzhou, Erniu's background is not simple, but because it has been a long time and he did not deliberately find out in his previous life, he is not clear about the specific situation of Erniu's original family.
But later I heard someone say by chance that Erniu was found and taken away by his biological parents, and was living a good life.
At that time, Gu Tingzhou was just happy for the poor child and did not ask any further questions, so it was impossible to help him find his parents in advance. He could only take better care of him.
Everyone has selfish desires. On the one hand, Li Qingyun wanted to establish a good relationship in advance. It is easy to add icing on the cake, but it is difficult to provide timely assistance.
On the one hand, I really feel sorry for him because he is alone and helpless, just like me back then, but at least I can eat enough and wear warm clothes. Living in this era, he has to use all his strength to survive.
Thinking of this, Li Qingyun found a few undershirts that were too small for Gu Tingzhou, and a thick cotton jacket with many patches. He didn't wear these clothes anyway, and they couldn't take them with them when they joined the army next year, so it would be better to give them to Erniu.
It is definitely impossible to ask her to do something new. There is no need to be so flattering. It is not her style to curry favor for an uncertain future. There are so many miserable people in the world, and she cannot help them all. She can only do her best.
While the child was asleep, Li Qingyun sent the thick quilt to the old house.
The door was not closed. After entering the yard, before I even reached the main room, I heard a loud noise.
"Why should we give it to the second son's family? They got a whole sheep, but they still need this pheasant. Mom, you are too partial."
Mrs. Gu saw that the pheasant that her parents-in-law had shared in the kitchen was missing. When she asked her mother-in-law, she was told that it had been sent to her second son's family. She was furious.
Gu's mother was also very angry. Before the family was divided, she was concerned about her eldest son's family and it was not easy to directly give the family's things to her grandson.
Now that the family has separated, what's wrong with her sending some meat to her grandson? Did Da Ni and Er Ni eat less before?
Although she was a little selfish, the second son's wife also gave them two kilograms of mutton. They usually had good food and sent it to them. What's wrong with giving them a pheasant?
The old man had lived in the family for so many years, but he had never given her a single needle or thread. It was all thanks to her and the old man that they supported her, so she didn't owe them anything.
Considering that it was difficult to be the eldest child, and in order to maintain the harmony of the family, Gu's mother held back her anger and didn't want to say anything too harsh.
"Your father has a chronic disease of cold legs. Eating mutton can warm the body and drive away the cold. I exchanged a pheasant for some mutton from the second family." Fortunately, the second family insisted on giving her the mutton, so she accepted it.
Mrs. Gu actually saw the piece of mutton on the chopping board, but she felt that since the second son's family got a sheep, it was only right to give it to this side.
"Come on, forget it. The second family got so much meat, it's only natural that they send some over. Why do they need you to exchange your pheasant for it? How dare the second family give away such a small amount of mutton? Who can eat it?
To put it bluntly, you just want to support your second brother's family and your two grandchildren. Don't think I don't know."
Mrs. Gu was so shocked by the whole sheep and the missing pheasant from the second brother's family that she forgot everything and complained without thinking, as if she had suffered a great injustice.
Father Gu and elder brother Gu were not at home. They went to the new house to pack up. The two children couldn't stay at home, so they followed them.
It was precisely because of this that Mrs. Gu vented her unhappiness without restraint.
After hearing her shameless words, Mother Gu didn't know whether she was more angry or upset for a moment. She felt like she had raised a family of ungrateful people. At the same time, she felt a little guilty because she really wanted to support her grandson. She was choked and pointed at Mrs. Gu with trembling fingers.
Li Qingyun, who followed the sound to the outside of the kitchen, was also amused by Mrs. Gu's shameless words. She walked in with a dark face and threw the big bag in her hand directly at Mrs. Gu.
Li Qingyun's sudden appearance startled both of them, not to mention that she came up so fiercely and hit Mrs. Gu so hard that she was stunned. She didn't expect that her private complaints were heard by her sister-in-law on the spot, and she felt guilty.
"Yan Shufen, say what you just said again!"
