Xu Mingwan didn't care about any of that; she was only concerned with her own accounts.

Zhang Xuemei was busy getting socks for people, while Xu Mingwan was doing the accounting and collecting money. The two of them were very busy and happy.

The aunties not only bought the socks themselves, but also promoted them to Zhang Xuemei and the others on their way home. As a result, people kept coming to buy socks, and they quickly emptied their bags.

Zhang Xuemei beamed with joy as she looked at the empty bags. "Great, great! This wave has cleared out a third of the goods I brought in yesterday."

"Sister-in-law, why don't you wait here while I go back and get some more?" Xu Mingwan thought that since it was still early, she could sell another batch.

Zhang Xuemei shook her head and stopped her, saying, "We've already bought everything we needed to buy here. We won't be able to sell anything more. Let's go home. We still need to sell hair clips around 11 o'clock!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Mingwan understood. Sigh, she was indeed too young.

"Mom, we're back. Is everything alright at home?" Xu Mingwan asked Granny Liu as soon as she entered the door.

Granny Liu was holding the child and pacing back and forth. The child's eyes were almost closed, and he was about to fall asleep when Xu Mingwan's shout immediately woke her up again.

As soon as Linlin turned her head and saw her mother, she immediately reached out her hands and shouted "Ah, ah!" Then she kept lunging forward, clearly wanting her mother to hug her.

Grandma Liu gently patted her little bottom, "You little ungrateful thing, Grandma has been holding you all morning, and you don't want me anymore as soon as your mother comes back."

"Mom, you've only been taking care of her for a short time, and you still want to compare her to Third Sister-in-law? Isn't that just humiliating yourself?" Xu Mingwan made a face at Granny Liu. Third Sister-in-law is her own mother, so of course the child is closest to her own mother.

Granny Liu rolled her eyes at her. "How could I not know? It's all your fault. Linlin was about to fall asleep, but you woke her up with that shout. Don't you know how to be quiet when you come back?"

Zhang Xuemei smiled and reached out her hand, "Mom, let me hold her for a while, you rest first."

Grandma Liu didn't stand on ceremony. She put the child in Zhang Xuemei's arms, pulled up a chair, sat down, rubbed her arms, and sighed, "I'm really getting old. My arms are so sore after holding the child for just a short while."

"Of course! Linlin is so chubby and plump, she's heavy to the touch." Xu Mingwan knew Linlin's weight all too well; she could drink two hundred pounds of milk powder in one go, no wonder she was so heavy!

Even without her daughter saying anything, Granny Liu could tell that this little girl was being raised better than Panpan was when she was young; she was lucky to have caught a good time.

"This is all thanks to feeding her with buckets of milk powder. You know what, milk powder really does nourish a person." Now that Zhang Xuemei has money, she doesn't hesitate to buy good milk powder for her daughter, always choosing the best.

Of course, my eldest daughter, Panpan, also drinks a glass of milk every day without fail, hoping that they will grow taller than me in the future, since 1.6 meters is my obsession.

Speaking of milk powder, I think of Granny Liu.

"Your second aunt, I really don't know what to say about her. Do you know what she gave Zhenzhen to drink when she was weaned? You wouldn't even imagine." She shook her head and sighed as she spoke.

"Zhenzhen? Isn't this Minglin's cousin's daughter? She seems to be two months older than Linlin!" Xu Mingwan knew that her second aunt had a niece who was two months older than Linlin. She had even visited her. Well, she was not as pretty as Linlin. In her heart, her two nieces were the prettiest, haha!

"Yes, that's right. When the baby was six months old, your second aunt made your sister-in-law Tang Qin go out to work, and then the baby started drinking formula."

"What's the problem? Is the milk powder too cheap? Even if it's cheap, it's still milk powder, what could be wrong with it?" Xu Mingwan really didn't expect there to be any problem.

Granny Liu looked constipated. She really didn't expect her sister-in-law to be so capable. "Before leaving, Zhenzhen's mother bought two cans of milk powder and left money for Zhenzhen to use for milk powder."

But your second aunt thought formula was too expensive and couldn't bear to spend the money. She thought condensed milk was quite nutritious, so after finishing two cans of formula, she started giving Zhenzhen condensed milk. Each time, she would scoop out a spoonful and add a large bowl of water, so the baby could only drink the water to feel full. The baby would cry for food every night, and your second aunt would complain that the baby was difficult to take care of.

"This..." Xu Mingwan and Zhang Xuemei didn't know what to say. Although condensed milk is quite nutritious, it's not something a six-month-old baby can drink!

Zhang Xuemei silently did the math in her mind, "They've been drinking it for about four months, right? How did they find out later?"

"How else could they have found out? Zhenzhen's mom came back and saw your second aunt making milk, that's how she found out! They even made a huge scene over it! Zhenzhen's mom was so angry that she took the child away."

"I was wondering why Zhenzhen looked smaller than Linlin during the New Year, even though she's two months older! Turns out she wasn't getting enough to eat." Xu Mingwan really didn't know what to say to her second aunt. If she did it on purpose, she knew to feed the child what she thought was nutritious condensed milk, but if she didn't do it on purpose, the child was so hungry that she couldn't sleep. It was hard to know what to say.

"Even so, your second aunt still feels wronged. She really thinks condensed milk is nutritious. After Zhenzhen's mother embarrassed her, she even called your cousin Minglin to complain, saying that his wife was being unreasonable, daring to talk back to her mother-in-law. Then Minglin managed to shut her up." Granny Liu shook her head as she spoke. Bai Tingmei really thought she had done the right thing.

“Or maybe my second aunt really thinks there’s nothing wrong with the baby drinking condensed milk. Her generation probably didn’t know anything about milk powder, right?” Zhang Xuemei felt it was normal for the older generation not to understand these things, but it was hard to accept that such a thing happened to a mother.

"It's okay if she doesn't understand, as long as she listens. Zhenzhen's mother repeatedly told her to buy formula, and even told her to keep the can and buy it accordingly. She still made her own decisions. Who else can we blame but her?"

Grandma Liu didn't think Bai Tingmei was wronged. Even if she didn't know about the milk powder, she had raised several children. Shouldn't she know whether the children were full or not?

The poor child was starved by his grandmother for over four months. Luckily, his biological mother came back and found out, otherwise who knows how long he would have starved!

"Oh, it's my fault. I was angry with your second aunt and didn't think to look at the little baby. Even if I had just looked once, I might have found something out." In the end, Granny Liu blamed herself a little.

Upon hearing this, Xu Mingwan quickly comforted her, "Mom, how can you be blamed? You can't be blamed for anything."

"Yes, Mom, don't think too much about it. Anyway, the child has been taken away by Tang Qin now. With her own mother taking care of her, she won't be treated badly."

Zhang Xuemei thought for a moment and then continued, "Mom, don't say that in front of Tang Qin. She didn't even think of that before. What if you say it and she really blames you? Wouldn't that be a loss?"
