Just before Gu's mother was about to faint from hunger, the kind woman finally brought back the food. The lunchbox contained only green beans, eggplants, and other vegetables and cucumbers; there was no meat.
The woman said embarrassedly, "We arrived too late, and all the meat and vegetables were taken by the other comrades. This is all that's left."
After being confined for three days, Gu's mother wasn't picky about food at all and immediately took the food, saying, "It's okay, as long as there's food, that's fine. Thank you, comrade, I'm so grateful to have you here today!"
The woman smiled indifferently.
Mrs. Gu was starving. After saying that, she started to rummage through her food. In no time, she had finished the whole lunchbox of food and rice, which had very little oil.
Just then, Le's mother, who had gone to call her husband and had a meal at the cafeteria, returned empty-handed.
Looking at Gu's mother who had just started eating, he raised an eyebrow: "What delicious food did your daughter-in-law bring you?"
Gu's mother: "......"
"No way, your daughter-in-law is so heartless, she didn't even come to visit her mother-in-law when she was in the hospital?" Mother Le deliberately belittled her, "Your daughter-in-law is no good!"
Gu's mother tacitly agreed.
That won't work.
It's just pork ribs, not dragon meat. Why not send them to her instead of making a fool of herself?
When the woman saw that someone was coming to take care of Mother Gu, she said, "I'll go deliver the lunchbox."
Only then did Le's mother realize that there was another person beside the hospital bed; if she didn't speak, she wouldn't even know she was there.
Mother Yue looked over curiously, her gaze sweeping over the girl's eyebrows and eyes. Her expression changed, her pupils contracted slightly, and she asked in surprise, "You...who are you?"
"Miao Huahua," the woman said shyly.
Mrs. Le looked closely at her features, which resembled Mrs. Gu's by about six or seven points, and her expression was a little subtle: "How old are you?"
Miao Huahua whispered, "21 years old."
Mrs. Yue secretly breathed a sigh of relief, her age not matching her description: "It's alright, you can go now!"
Miao Huahua felt like Le Mama was going to skin her alive, which scared her so much that she tried to run away as fast as she could.
Knowing that she had helped her, Gu's mother called out to her, "Comrade Miao Huahua, don't be in such a hurry to leave. We owe you a lot this time. Please take this, thank you!"
Miao Huahua looked at the five yuan and five jin of grain coupons handed over by Aunt Gu, shook her head, and looked a little unhappy. She didn't help because she wanted anything in return; she just felt that the aunt in front of her was approachable.
After everyone left, Le's mother said to Gu's mother, "Call your old Gu back home and have him talk to Gu Weizhou and persuade the couple to settle things privately. Otherwise, Le Yao will be hard to deal with. We'll also contribute money and effort to get her out as soon as possible."
“It’s no use talking to my husband, you know. Wei Zhou doesn’t listen to us anymore.” Gu’s mother didn’t want to make things difficult for her husband: “That child has grown up and is all grown up.”
"Can you really bear to watch Yao Yao, whom you love so much, go to a labor camp?" Mother Le used moral blackmail: "You saw it yourself, I took such good care of her since she was little, but now she's going to be locked up in a place like that, can you bear it?"
Gu's mother sneered inwardly. What was there to be reluctant about? She wasn't her own daughter. No matter how much she felt sorry for her, it was useless. She and her daughter were of one mind.
If I hadn't overheard their conversation today, I wouldn't have known they thought I was a fool!
Mother Gu is no longer a fool.
"There's nothing I can do about it, I've done my best!" Mrs. Gu resigned herself to her fate.
Le's mother noticed that her mood was not right: "Jinhua, what do you mean? It's your own child. It's not hard to control him. When your son finishes his training and comes to see you, you can always make him soften by crying, making a scene, and threatening suicide."
Mrs. Gu was not one to do such things. She said, "If you really want to save your daughter, you can show your sincerity and try to win them over. I can't do that. They won't listen to anything I say now."
"Reform?" Mother Le laughed angrily, pointing at Mother Gu and saying harshly, "Jin Hua, haven't you always felt guilty for not being able to save my child because of you? As long as you help me get Yao Yao out this time, we'll call it even."
Mrs. Gu raised an eyebrow: "Really?"
Mother Le nodded reassuringly: "Really, whatever happens to that child, it's gone. I won't hold onto it. I just want Yao Yao to be alright."
Mrs. Gu said thoughtfully, "I'll give it a try."
Mother Yue knew that this stupid woman was easy to fool.
How can the past be the past?
