Yang Xinlan smiled knowingly. Before this, she had never felt that there could be any deep feelings between neighbors.
We can’t even trust our parents and siblings 100%, let alone our neighbors?
However... Li Sanhu made her change her mind.
She believed that Li Sanhu was sincere and had no ill intentions.
Seeing that Yang Xinlan was always reserved, Li Sanhu tactfully stopped disturbing her.
When Yang Xinlan saw Li Sanhu leave, she finally breathed a sigh of relief. She returned to her room and sat down to rest.
She had been tense all day and now she could finally relax.
She glanced at the sleeping Lin Guizhi and smiled helplessly.
Unexpectedly, she and Lin Guizhi were able to survive.
However... in the days to come, they will be left alone as orphans and a widow, and life will probably be difficult for them.
She didn't know whether she could survive with Lin Guizhi. She had no confidence at all.
An hour later, there was a knock on Yang Xinlan's courtyard door and a woman's voice was heard outside.
"Is anyone home? I'm Aunt Ji from next door."
Yang Xinlan hurried to open the door, and a woman about forty years old appeared in front of her.
The woman had kind eyes and a broad smile on her face. "You must be the Miss Xinlan that Hu Zi mentioned, right? This is the meal Hu Zi asked me to make for you. Do you think it suits your taste?"
Yang Xinlan was a little flattered, "Aunt Ji, please come in and sit for a while."
Aunt Ji didn't hesitate and went in directly with the lunch box.
Aunt Ji put down the lunch box and went to the bed to look at Lin Guizhi. "Is this your daughter? How many months old is she?"
"Five months, and in a few days it will be six months." Yang Xinlan answered truthfully.
Aunt Ji smiled and said, "That's about the same age as my granddaughter, who is a few months older than your daughter."
At the beginning of the year, her daughter also gave birth to a daughter, who was a few months older than Yang Xinlan's daughter.
In the blink of an eye, she became a grandmother.
Li Sanhu told her a little about Yang Xinlan. Yang Xinlan was abandoned by her husband's family and now lives outside with her daughter.
In comparison, Yang Xinlan is even more pitiful than her.
At least her husband died of illness instead of cruelly abandoning her and the child.
Yang Xinlan's husband is still alive, but he cruelly abandoned her and her daughter. How sad must Yang Xinlan be?
As they were both stranded in this world, she would take good care of Yang Xinlan in the future.
What's more, the Li family has helped them a lot over the years and has done them a favor. Since it was Li Sanhu's instruction, she naturally had to do her best.
I don’t know what the relationship between Yang Xinlan and Li Sanhu is.
She originally wanted to let her daughter marry Li Sanhu.
Li Sanhu looks rough, but he is thoughtful, kind-hearted and enthusiastic. She likes Li Sanhu very much.
It’s a pity... Erniu has always been afraid of Li Sanhu.
No matter how she persuaded her, Erniu just refused to nod.
She knows Li Sanhu best. If Erniu is not happy, Li Sanhu will never force her.
She thinks this marriage has no chance!
"Xinlan, since you've decided to move out, live a good life! Leaving a man is no big deal! Look at Aunt Ji, hasn't she made it through all these years?
Now that Erniu and Fugui have grown up, life is not as difficult as you thought!" Aunt Ji patted Yang Xinlan's hand and encouraged her.
Yang Xinlan's eyes were moist. Even at home, her mother had never cared about her so much.
Her parents loved her younger brother very much and never paid any attention to her.
After marrying Lin Wenyou, although she lived a life of food and clothing, she never felt at ease for a single day.
She has always been worried that one day she would be abandoned by Lin Wenyou.
And now, it finally came to this end.
She has no confidence that she can live a good life in the future and can only live one day at a time.
"Thank you, Aunt Ji. I will work hard." Yang Xinlan said gratefully.
Seeing that she was calm, Aunt Ji stopped trying to persuade her. "Eat first, clean up after you finish eating, and get a good night's sleep. Tomorrow, it will be a brand new day!"
This kind of thing can only wait for Yang Xinlan to slowly come to terms with it.
No matter how much she, an outsider, tried to persuade him, it was useless.
"Thank you for your help, Aunt Ji." Yang Xinlan thanked again.
Aunt Ji waved her hand and said, "Have a good rest. I'll come see you tomorrow!"
After seeing Aunt Ji off, Yang Xinlan had dinner and fed Lin Guizhi before going to the kitchen to boil some hot water.
The kitchen is fully equipped with pots, pans, and even plenty of firewood.
After she boiled some hot water for a bath, she went back to her room to rest.
Perhaps because she was exhausted, Yang Xinlan slept exceptionally soundly that night.
Lin Guizhi did not make any noise at night and she slept all night long.
The first thing Yang Xinlan did when she got up was to change Lin Guizhi's diaper and then feed her.
But she had not been full for a long time and there was not much milk to feed her.
Lin Guizhi seemed to be able to feel her mother's difficulties, and she didn't cry or make a fuss. Looking at the thin Lin Guizhi, Yang Xinlan felt even more sad.
She almost abandoned Lin Guizhi and died together with Lin Wenyou.
If she died, what would happen to Lin Guizhi?
Liang would definitely not like Lin Guizhi, she could imagine Lin Guizhi's ending.
Lin Guizhi is so well-behaved, how could she, as a mother, bear to abandon her?
She held Lin Guizhi in her arms, feeling extremely ashamed.
After a while, she put Lin Guizhi down and thought about going to the kitchen to cook some porridge.
She looked yesterday and saw white rice and white flour in the kitchen.
As soon as she opened the door, she saw Li Sanhu standing outside the courtyard gate.
Li Sanhu was so tall that the gate couldn't stop him at all.
Li Sanhu also saw Yang Xinlan. He raised the thing in his hand, indicating that he was there to deliver something.
He was afraid that speaking loudly would scare the child, so he remained silent.
Yang Xinlan went over to open the door for him.
Li Sanhu walked in carrying some things. "Sister, I bought these at the morning market. Aunt Ji said... Anyway, these are what you need!"
Hearing this, Yang Xinlan smiled awkwardly, "Thank you very much."
"Then you go ahead and do your work! I have to go back to the barracks today. If you have any questions, go find Aunt Ji and let Fugui come find me." After Li Sanhu gave his instructions, he left without looking back.
Yang Xinlan originally wanted to invite him to dinner. Li Sanhu had helped her so much, so she had to thank him. Although he was entrusted by Liu Qin, he tried his best and helped her a lot. She still had to thank Li Sanhu.
However, Li Sanhu is busy, so I will owe him this favor for now and repay him when I have the chance in the future.
Yang Xinlan looked at the pig's trotters, crucian carp and half a chicken on the table, and felt indescribable warmth in her heart.
This was the first time in her life that she felt cared for like this.
Unexpectedly, the people who gave her warmth were strangers, even those she thought were her enemies.
She felt ashamed that she had targeted Liu Qin.
If Liu Qin wasn't here this time, she might have done something stupid. How could she still be standing here?
She will definitely remember Liu Qin's kindness to her for the rest of her life!
