Chapter 10 Angry but Unable to Speak Out

After saying that, he peeked around and asked, "Mom, where's my little niece?"

She came back two weeks ago. Her little niece is really beautiful and adorable; no girl in town can compare to her.

When her beloved granddaughter was mentioned, Ma Xiulian couldn't help but smile. "She just finished drinking her milk and fell asleep."

Chen Honghong showed a hint of regret and continued, "Mom, I brought the fabric you asked me to keep last time, but the color isn't very good."

As he spoke, he took out a piece of light yellow cloth.

This color is easily soiled, which is why rural people who toil in the fields every day dislike it the most.

Ma Xiulian, however, happily flipped through the book, saying, "Our darling has fair skin, so she should wear lighter colors to look good."

Although the fabric is dyed somewhat unevenly, it's about three feet long, enough to make several changes of clothes for her precious baby.

You have to understand that in those days, buying cloth not only required money, but also cloth coupons. In rural areas, each person only had seven feet of cloth coupons per year, which was enough for a tall adult man to make one set of clothes.

Fortunately, some defective fabrics at the supply and marketing cooperative could be purchased without ration coupons, which allowed Chen Honghong, who worked at the cooperative, to stay on early.

"How much is it? Mom will give it to you."

Chen Honghong was about to say that it wasn't much money and she shouldn't give it to them, when Ma Xiulian glared at her and said, "Have you forgotten what I just told you?!"

Chen Honghong had no choice but to say, "Two yuan and fifty cents."

Without saying a word, Ma Xiulian took out the key, opened the wardrobe, counted out two yuan and fifty cents from the layers of cloth wrapped around her, and carefully wrapped it up and put it back.

Then he said to his daughter, "You can stay home tonight and leave tomorrow morning."

Chen Honghong nodded, "Yes, I told my mother-in-law before I came that I wouldn't be going back tonight."

Helian Jiao didn't wake up until Old Chen's family had dinner; to be precise, she woke up from hunger.

Seeing that no one was in the room, she called out in her soft, childlike voice, "Aiya~"

She's hungry and wants milk!

Ma Xiulian, who was in the courtyard, heard it immediately. She was busy with something and couldn't leave, so she called to Li Chunhua, "Third son's wife, come in quickly and see if the baby has woken up."

Li Chunhua was hugging her son affectionately and didn't want to go at all.

Chen Honghong immediately stood up, "I'll go, I'll go."

As soon as she entered the bedside, she saw her little niece looking at her with her big, dark eyes, which instantly melted her heart.

She quickly picked him up and gently coaxed him, "Sweetie, it's your auntie. I came to see you last time, do you remember?"

Helian Jiao gave a polite "Ah," as she remembered things from a hundred years ago very clearly.

Chen Honghong smiled and praised, "My sweet baby is so clever! Auntie will change your diaper now~"

Then I discovered that my little niece was really well-behaved; she didn't fuss at all when I changed her diapers.

Chen Honghong was so delighted that she couldn't help but kiss her tender little face. "So good! Auntie will take you to drink milk."

Then she was shocked by Helian Jiao's ferocious milk production, "Does my darling drink this much all the time?"

Although I had heard her mother say before that her niece had a good appetite, I didn’t expect it to be this good.

Mentioning this fills Li Chunhua with resentment, "That's right! I've never seen a daughter drink so much milk, she can drink more than a big, fat boy!"

She finally managed to eat something good during her postpartum period, but this brat drank it all away!

That brat is quite plump and fair-skinned, but apart from her bulging breasts, she doesn't have much flesh anywhere else.

Upon hearing this, Ma Xiulian said with a proud expression, "Being able to eat is a blessing. Our darling is very fortunate."

Li Chunhua was furious but dared not speak out, and could only secretly pinch her daughter's bottom to vent her anger.
