Chapter 141 It’s all because of poverty
She didn't tell a lie.
But wanting to be like her is naturally impossible.
Now she was holding back on her strength, fearing that if she used all her strength she would kill someone and it would be difficult to explain.
"Really?"
"Of course, you've felt it recently. After being well-fed and warmly clothed, your strength has increased a lot, even more than that of an ordinary person."
Hearing this, Bai Jing had the most say, "Yes, big sister, Jing Jing is stronger than my classmates. Last time, a classmate pulled my hair, and I pushed him lightly and he flew backwards."
Although it is a bit exaggerated, it is also true. After all, Jingjing's strength is greater than that of her peers.
"Yeah, yeah, me too. I'm just stronger than Brother Guangming and the others."
Bai Ling thought about the changes that had taken place in herself and understood. Yes, she was changing, but she was still young. When she grew up, she would definitely become bigger.
"I understand, sis."
Bai Jing looked at her three younger siblings and felt sad when she thought about their endings in her previous life.
It is said that poor couples have many worries, and the same is true for dear brothers and sisters.
When everyone is poor and can't even support themselves, how can they have the energy to care about their brothers and sisters?
well.
In the final analysis, it's all because of poverty.
Her own mentality has changed.
In her previous life, how could she care about her second and third uncles when her own family was in a mess.
But in this life, she has cheats, money, and abilities, so she can take good care of her relatives.
All relatives are grateful.
If she had no money, how could she care about her second and third uncles' families? I'm afraid she would be resentful of them for not helping her family.
well.
The past is too painful to recall. In the final analysis, it was all because of lack of money.
When they got home, Bai Jing and Bai Ling were busy in the kitchen, while Xiao Jing and Xiao Yong were helping to light the fire in front of the stove.
The atmosphere at home is so happy.
When my parents came back, they smelled the fragrance of home-cooked food, and their backs straightened a little.
The food on the table was rich and delicious, and everyone's face was filled with happiness and contentment.
Bai Jing is on vacation, but Luo Chunhua is not.
After dinner, Bai Jing was pulled by her mother to pack up the things she brought back.
Because she was not at home last night, Luo Chunhua did not touch the things Bai Jing brought back. After all, she was afraid that her daughter would have her own distribution.
"Mom, these fabrics are all brought back from City A. When you have time, find someone to make clothes for you. We all have cotton-padded clothes, but who doesn't want more new clothes?" Bai Jing was afraid that her mother would be reluctant to part with them, so she gave her some more instructions.
Luo Chunhua looked at these fabrics she had never seen before, and gently stroked them with her rough hands. "This material is so good."
"No matter how good it is, it's still cloth. We can't keep it as a family heirloom." Bai Jing looked helpless.
Luo Chunhua was amused by her words, "You are much more cheerful than before, it's great that you are like this." She saw the changes in her daughter and felt distressed and satisfied.
"Mom, what are you talking about? The hard times are over. Our family will get better and better." Bai Jing put down the things in her hands, then went forward and hugged her mother who was still thinking about the hardship. "You can't always suffer yourself when you have the conditions."
Luo Chunhua slapped her twice in annoyance and said, "Come on, you are a grown-up girl now, why are you still acting like a child?" But her daughter's words also warmed her heart. Yes, why should she make herself suffer when she has the conditions?
"You're right. I'll take these to the back street and ask Granny Li to make them into ready-made clothes."
Hearing the name of Granny Li from the back street again, Bai Jing was somewhat confused. "Mom, what's going on with Granny Li?"
After moving here, apart from the Zhang family, she had only had contact with Uncle Zhou, and she was not really familiar with the others.
"He's just like mother before, a miserable person."
So Luo Chunhua slowly explained the story of this Grandma Li, and how their acquaintance was an accident.
That time she also went to find someone to make winter clothes. She asked many neighbors around before she found out about Grandma Li's house. But she didn't expect that as soon as she arrived at the door of Li's house, she saw a sloppy man beating and scolding Grandma Li.
Just as she was about to step forward to help, she was stopped by the people around her.
When Luo Chunhua learned that it was Granny Li's son, she didn't know what to say for a moment.
Granny Li's son is a disappointing boy. He has never been a good student since he was young. Last time, due to the crackdown by the police in the town, his life became increasingly difficult, so he wanted to go home and get some money.
Unexpectedly, his mother refused to give it to him, saying that she wanted to use it to raise her grandson. In a fit of rage, Granny Li's son tried to snatch it away. Granny Li was no match for him. In order to keep food for herself and her grandson, she had no choice but to snatch it from the unfilial son.
Later he was beaten by his son.
After Li's son left, the neighbor pulled Luo Chunhua forward and helped Grandma Li up.
It's not that she doesn't want to help, but she is afraid of being blamed by Granny Li's son. That man is shameless. These days, everyone is living in poverty. She can't bring disaster to her own family just to help others.
Now, I dare to care about it afterwards.
Granny Li seemed to be accustomed to the neighbors' behavior. She did not blame anyone but only said that it was her own fault.
Originally, Luo Chunhua didn't plan to let Grandma Li help make clothes, but Grandma Li seemed to see through her thoughts and promised her again and again that she would never let her son waste the cloth and cotton. Only then did Luo Chunhua agree to keep the cloth and cotton.
I also gave Granny Li five dollars and made six sets of clothes for her.
She gave enough money and Grandma Li worked very hard. After getting along with her like this, Luo Chunhua was very satisfied with Grandma Li's craftsmanship.
The clothes that everyone in the family wears now are all made by Grandma Li.
What Luo Chunhua didn't expect was that Grandma Li's grandson was actually a classmate of her son. As time went by, the two children started playing together.
Bai Jing listened to her mother's explanation and learned about Grandma Li's family situation.
If she remembered correctly, many people were arrested in the town later because of foreign enemies, but she didn't know if the one from the Li family was among them.
If there is, I'm afraid it will be difficult to come back in this life.
But she didn't know whether the bureau had notified the family.
But, it has nothing to do with her.
"Grandma Li has good craftsmanship. I will send the things over tomorrow and ask her to help make them into ready-made clothes." Bai Jing also has clothes made by Grandma Li.
"Okay, since you're on vacation at home, you should keep an eye on things at home. The New Year is coming soon, and we still have some meat and grain coupons this year. Spend them when you have time. We have to have a prosperous New Year."
Luo Chunhua was ruthless when it came to using her daughter.
"No problem, leave it all to me." In the past, there was a thing called New Year's goods in the village, but her family was poor. From childhood to adulthood, she could only eat meat once during the New Year, and it was only a thin slice. Even so, her mother spent a lot of effort to get it back.
"In the past, my family didn't have the means, so we never prepared all the New Year's goods. This year, I want to prepare more. For example, I want to make some bacon and sausages." Bai Jing fantasized and recalled the New Year's goods she prepared for the New Year in her previous life.
