Chapter 141 A Full Meal in History
Su Mingmei looked at Bai Xiumei with surprise and admiration.
As expected, he is a child born in a military family.
At this moment, Bai Xiumei exuded an indescribable sense of boldness and momentum.
In short, it is very cool and should not be underestimated!
Li Xiangdong and his wife on the opposite side were completely controlled by Bai Xiumei's aura!
It seems that I invited the right person today!
With Bai Xiumei around, things get twice the result with half the effort!
"I recognize my child's clothes. If you gave them away..."
"No, we definitely won't give it away!" Li Xiangdong assured quickly.
The captain's wife has said so much. If he still refuses to change his mind and sacrifices his own children for others, he will be the only one who will suffer.
Li Xiangdong couldn't help but blame his wife for not knowing how to do things.
It’s okay to just wrap the child in straw, but why did you let outsiders see it?
Isn't this a deliberate slap in his face?
"Okay, I'll let Xiaocao come back after she finishes eating at our house!"
After Su Mingmei finished speaking, she left with Bai Xiumei.
As soon as the two left, Li Xiangdong closed the door and began to scold his wife.
Wang Caixia looked aggrieved: "I'm doing this for his uncle's pillar. The little girl just doesn't listen and wants to be beaten..."
"Okay, this place is not like the countryside. You can't beat the children casually or let them starve. Did you hear what the captain's wife said? Let Xiaocao grow fatter within three months. During this period, don't send money or things to my eldest brother's family. Get something good to nourish the child!" Li Xiangdong instructed his wife.
"What? How can she make up for a loss-making thing? If she doesn't send money and things to my eldest brother, how will my nephews survive?"
Wang Caixia screamed in shock.
In recent years, several nephews have been relying on their family for support.
If the source of food here is suddenly cut off, how will they survive in the countryside?
Li Xiangdong frowned and glared at her with some disdain: "Keep your voice down, don't you think you've caused me enough trouble? If you want to see me retire and return to my hometown, you can do whatever you want!"
Wang Caixia was somewhat unwilling.
"Is the head of the group's wife really that powerful? Whatever she says goes, it's the truth?"
"That's our own child. Why should she, an outsider, take care of him?"
Wang Caixia only dared to tell her husband what was in her heart and did not dare to say it in front of Bai Xiumei.
In her eyes, she can beat or scold her own children as she pleases, and no one else can do anything about it!
"She is here to represent our regiment commander. I have told you to be careful with your words and actions when you are in the army. Just do as I say regarding the child!" Li Xiangdong made the final decision.
He knew that his wife favored boys over girls, and he usually turned a blind eye to it. But now the captain's wife came to warn him, but she still didn't repent!
Gu family!
Gu Jinze and his group of guys are back.
No one showed much curiosity about the new presence of Li Xiaocao in the family. Instead, they gathered around Qibao as usual, calling her "sister" all the time.
Li Xiaocao looked at Qibao who was surrounded by his family, his eyes full of envy.
The Gu family is different from theirs.
At home, her mother always said that girls are money-losing goods and will have to get married sooner or later!
But the Gu family dotes on Qibao very much, she is the treasure of the whole family!
Aunt Su is very kind and gentle. How nice it would be if she had a mother like her!
While Li Xiaocao was in a daze, Gu Qiqi brought a bowl of water to her.
“Drink water!”
"Thank you, Sister Qibao!" Li Xiaocao didn't ask anything. She was indeed thirsty, so she held the bowl and drank it all in one gulp.
After Su Mingmei came back, she helped Dong Yulan cook in the kitchen.
Because there was an outsider, Li Xiaocao, in the family, Dong Yulan did not prepare anything too extravagant for dinner. She only had some shredded potatoes, fried eggs with black fungus, and cabbage stewed with vermicelli. The staple food was sweet potato and multi-grain rice.
Even so, in Li Xiaocao's eyes, the food in front of her was better than what she had eaten during the Chinese New Year!
In order to support her uncle's family, Wang Caixia dared not spend money recklessly. Her daily life was hard and even during the Chinese New Year, there would be no more than two dishes on the table.
Li Xiaocao didn't dare to pick up her chopsticks when looking at the food on the table!
"Don't be afraid, eat more!"
Seeing that Li Xiaocao was restrained, Dong Yulan picked up some food for her with her chopsticks until the small bowl became a small mountain.
Li Xiaocao said thank you several times. Dong Yulan's enthusiasm made her feel much less restrained.
"Eat quickly. You don't have to be polite at Grandma Dong's house!" Dong Yulan's eyes were full of pity.
Poor child, with a mother like that!
Li Xiaocao shed tears while eating. She was moved...
What she didn’t tell Grandma Dong was that this was her first time eating at the table, the first time someone served her food, and the first time someone asked her to eat more…
Everyone watched the little girl crying silently and tacitly did not disturb her.
Li Xiaocao had the most filling meal ever!
The food Grandma Dong cooks is so delicious!
The atmosphere in the Gu family is warm and cozy, and Li Xiaocao feels like she is dreaming while staying here.
"We've already talked to your parents. At least they don't dare to do anything to you openly. If your mother doesn't give you food, come and tell us!"
After dinner, Su Mingmei took Li Xiaocao's hand and taught her.
No one can bear to see a good child being abused like this.
"Come and play with our Qibao when you have nothing to do. As for your mother, forget it. There is no point in saying too much. You should be smarter and resist when you should. If you can't resist yourself, ask for help. Don't be a punching bag and bear everything silently!" Dong Yulan at the side couldn't help but interrupt.
Wang Caixia was a person who favored boys over girls, but fortunately her child was not spoiled.
"Well, thank you Aunt Su, thank you Grandma Dong!" Li Xiaocao bowed deeply to them.
It’s great that someone cares about her and helps her!
She will never forget how good the Gu family has been to her in her life!
Li Xiaocao stayed at Gu's house until sunset, and Su Mingmei personally sent him back.
"Your little Cao is sensible and can take care of her younger sister. My daughter likes to play with her, so I've only sent her back now. I hope you don't mind!"
Su Mingmei sent Li Xiaocao to the door of her home and spoke to Li Xiangdong and his wife with a smile.
Li Xiangdong was flattered: "No, of course I don't mind. Xiaocao is very good at taking care of people. If your daughter likes it, I will let Xiaocao go over to play with your daughter more often in the future!"
The wife of the regiment commander and the wife of the deputy regiment commander gave him a scolding.
At this moment, Su Mingmei was smiling, and Li Xiangdong's anxiety and uneasiness instantly dissipated a lot!
As long as he treats Xiaocao well, the captain's wife and the deputy captain's wife shouldn't have too many objections to him...
Wang Caixia had already been warned by Li Xiangdong in advance.
Looking at Li Xiaocao, who had just returned at this late hour after playing at someone else's house, Wang Caixia was so angry that she wanted to beat this little girl to death.
If it weren't for her, there wouldn't be so many troubles at home, and I wouldn't be scolded by the captain's wife!
It’s all this little bitch’s fault!
Li Xiaocao trembled all over when she was stared at by her mother. The fear and uneasiness engraved in her bones surged up together, and the comfortable feeling of staying in Gu's house disappeared instantly.
