Zhou Hehua heard everything from inside the house. Having just given birth, she naturally understood a mother's heart for her child.
Although she doesn't have much breast milk, she has some formula that Lin Yu gave her, which she can share with the baby.
Lin Yu ran into the house, took out a few cans of milk powder, and handed them directly to Lin Aiguo: "Uncle, this is the milk powder I bought for my niece. You can give it to Xie Zhiqing."
Previously, when she went to the county town, she pretended to go to find Dingxiang and smuggled some milk powder out of the space.
Two jars have already been given to Zhou Hehua.
Qiao Feng didn't open her bag to see how much was in total, allowing her to get away with it.
Lin Aiguo, holding the milk powder, patted Lin Yu on the shoulder happily: "Good boy, you've really helped her a lot. I'll take it back to the child now."
Lin Aiguo was in a great hurry, and he had milk powder again.
At the educated youth settlement, Song Meili looked at the small child on the communal bed, while Xie Xinyu was feeding the child water.
"Xie Zhiqing, is it okay for this child to just drink water?" Song Meili saw that the child was so small and kept crying, probably because he was hungry, but Xie Zhiqing only gave him water...
Xie Xinyu was so thin that she could be blown away by a gust of wind. She said with a bitter smile, "It's my fault for being useless. I don't have any milk for the baby."
Song Meili felt upset. She gritted her teeth and thought it over and over again before taking two eggs from her own cabinet.
“Thank you, educated youth. Here’s an egg for you to give to the child.”
Xie Xinyu looked at the eggs in her hand, and tears suddenly fell.
There are still good people in this world.
She thought she and her daughter could never leave the Li family, and she was planning to take the Li family down with her.
Unexpectedly, Captain Lin was willing to help her.
Now that they've arrived at the educated youth settlement, they've met Song, an educated youth with a kind heart.
Unfortunately, the child is too young to eat eggs.
"Thank you, Song Zhiqing, but the child can't eat eggs, so please take them back."
Song Meili shook her head: "What's given to you is yours. If the baby can't eat it, you can eat it. It'll be nutritious for you, and maybe it will help you produce milk."
Xie Zhiqing accepted the eggs and kept this kindness in his heart.
Ou Manqing recalled that in her previous life, there was also a person named Xie Zhiqing. However, before she arrived, Xie Zhiqing had reportedly died of starvation because her child had starved to death. In a fit of anger, she committed suicide with the Li family.
In this life, she arrived at the Lotus Brigade ahead of schedule. Perhaps it was this butterfly flapping its wings that made the whole thing different.
This time, Xie Zhiqing should not repeat that tragic fate.
But this child...
Ou Manqing frowned and took out some money from his pocket: "Here, take this money and go to the brigade to ask which wife has just given birth and ask her to help you feed the baby."
The team members are xenophobic. If you don't want to offend Yang Honghua, just give them some money; they'll definitely agree.
It has to be said that Ou Manqing is the one who understands the team members the most.
In Xie Zhiqing's situation, if she didn't want her child to starve, she could only seek help from women who were also breastfeeding.
However, since the Li family members were native members of the brigade, the others certainly wouldn't want to offend that shrew Yang Honghua for her sake.
Therefore, they would not be willing to breastfeed their children.
But if they could be given some money, I believe most people would be happy to do so.
When Xie Zhiqing moved in, he was empty-handed and dressed in tattered clothes, so it was obvious that he had no money.
Xie Xinyu took the money, tears streaming down her face: "Thank you, thank you so much."
Ou Manqing handed her a handkerchief and said, "Don't cry. You just gave birth not long ago. Crying too much will damage your eyes."
If Yang Honghua hadn't been unwilling, Xie Xinyu should have been in her postpartum confinement period at this time.
Xie Xinyu wiped away her tears with a handkerchief, looked at the child and said, "Baby, you're saved. You should thank these two aunties from now on."
She was just thinking about going out to find someone to help feed the baby when the brigade leader arrived.
He didn't want to go into the female educated youth's room, so he just called out from outside the door.
Song Meili closed the door to prevent the wind from getting in, then went out to see the brigade leader.
Lin Aiguo handed two cans of milk powder to Song Meili: "Song Zhiqing, this is milk powder that my Xiaoyu bought. Give it to Xie Zhiqing's little girl."
Xie Xinyu heard this and tried to get out of bed, but Ou Manqing stopped her.
"If you're like this, you'd better not get out of bed. Just say what you have to say; the captain can hear you."
Xie Xinyu nodded and said loudly to the outside, "Captain, thank you, and thank you Comrade Lin Yu as well. You are so kind and virtuous, I have no way to repay you."
Lin Aiguo replied, "No need to thank me, it's my duty. As for Xiaoyu, thank her in person when you're better."
After Lin Aiguo finished speaking, he waved to Song Meili and left.
Song Meili took the formula inside: "Quick, quick, make it for the baby."
The baby finally got to drink milk; he pursed his little mouth and drank with great enthusiasm.
Seeing her vibrant appearance, Xie Xinyu smiled, "That's great, baby, you have milk to drink now."
Song Meili kept watching her drink milk: "So cute, drink more, drink more, you'll have to thank Aunt Xiaoyu when you grow up."
Her best friend is really amazing.
She can even get her own baby formula!
Xie Xinyu then asked the two of them, "Comrade Lin Yu's milk powder is probably not cheap, right? Could you help me find out how much it costs so I can save up to pay her back?"
Ou Manqing was satisfied with what she said, knowing that this thing was hard to come by.
I'm afraid they'll end up saving an ungrateful wretch.
In retrospect, Xie, the educated youth, did have some merits.
That's right. When Ou Manqing heard about Xie Zhiqing before, he actually looked down on him a bit.
A pushover who can't stand on his own two feet, can't even protect his own child, and lets others bully him.
Ou Manqing despises women like that the most.
Just like Zhang Lili before, she always acted like she was crying, weak, and being bullied.
Having been reborn, Ou Manqing knows that those weak people are either just pretending, like Zhang Lili.
Or he's just a coward who lacks courage. Even if Xie Xinyu ultimately perished with the Li family, so what?
Later, her parents came looking for her. It was heartbreaking to see a parent outlive their child.
Who has she done right by?
Now it seems that this Xie Zhiqing wasn't so timid after all. She probably didn't dare to resist before because she was afraid of being beaten, plus she had powerful connections...
Thinking about it this way, Ou Manqing understood and felt even more sympathy for her, and wanted to help her.
"Don't worry about those things. Once you've recovered and the baby is healthy, you can go back to earn work points and pay the money back to Xiaoyu."
After Ou Manqing figured things out, he spoke to Xie Xinyu much more gently.
Xie Xinyu nodded: "Okay, I understand, thank you."
Ou Manqing waved his hand, indicating that he was welcome.
"Who is this? And why is there a child?"
Zhao Xiumei looked at Xie Xinyu and the baby with a puzzled expression in her eyes.
Song Meili rolled her eyes. The news had spread far and wide, she must have heard it already, why was she pretending to be innocent?
