Chapter 93 Is the sister-in-law willing to tell the truth and clear my name?

Yao Hongmei felt wronged and angry, and kept cursing in her heart: This family of three, mother and son, are all ungrateful and heartless! None of them is a good person!

After cursing, she raised her hand helplessly, picked up the small bowl of rice soaked in cold water, hesitated for a moment, picked up the spoon, and put it into her mouth one spoonful at a time.

People in the confinement period are more afraid of cold than usual. The cold rice tasted tasteless when chewed in the mouth, and the whole stomach was cold when swallowed into the stomach.

Yingying on the side was still licking her lips and looking at her with eager eyes. She was hungry! Why did her mother eat it and not herself? Doesn't her mother like herself anymore?

Yao Hongmei wanted to give her food, but was afraid that she would get an upset stomach. At this moment, she really couldn't hold back her tears, and big tears fell into the bowl.

The rice mixed with tears suddenly tasted good in her mouth, but every bite she swallowed was full of bitterness and grievance.

At this time, Lu Jingchen came back on a bike with Xia Qingxiang who was off work. Xia Qingxiang sat in the back, holding a net bag with some fruits in it.

As soon as they arrived at the yard, they saw the coal stove overturned on the ground. Xia Qingxiang walked over in confusion and wanted to pick it up, but Lu Jingchen stopped her. Xia Qingxiang was puzzled when she saw him walk over, first tested the temperature, then picked it up and put it on the steps.

Xia Qingxi immediately understood that he didn't let her do it because he was afraid of burning himself.

This man is really too careful. She didn't think of this at all. If the stove was really hot, her hands would probably be burned by now.

Touched, Xia Qingxi walked inside. As soon as she entered the house, she heard low sobbing coming from Yao Hongmei's room. She put the net bag on the table and walked over with doubts. As soon as she reached the door, she saw Yao Hongmei crying while shoveling rice into her mouth.

Three-year-old Yingying knelt beside her, staring at the bowl in her hand with her big eyes. Xia Qingying walked in and was about to speak when she heard Yingying say,

"Mom, Yingying is hungry, Yingying eat..." Then she opened her mouth wide to Yao Hongmei, motioning her to feed her.

Seeing this, Xia Qingying seemed to realize something. Yao Hongmei was not as patriarchal as Wang Mingfang. She always loved Yingying very much. It was impossible for her to eat the rice by herself and not give it to the child.

Thinking of this, she walked over, raised her hand and took the bowl from Yao Hongmei's hand. When she got the bowl in her hand, she found that the rice inside was cold.

"Sister-in-law, you..." Xia Qingying paused in the middle of her words. Who would eat this cold rice if they had food?

Seeing Yao Hongmei's face full of tears, Xia Qingxi didn't understand anything. Wang Mingfang and her son were really heartless. They left the patient who had just undergone surgery at home and didn't care about him.

Especially Lu Lidong. Yao Hongmei had been married to him for several years and gave birth to a daughter for him, but he didn't care about her at all. At

this moment, Xia Qingxi was extremely lucky that her original body didn't marry Lu Lidong!

Xia Qingxi put the bowl aside and said softly:

"Don't eat." After a moment, she said, "Wait a minute." Then she turned around and went out.

Yao Hongmei looked at Xia Qingxi who was walking out thoughtfully, and her originally empty eyes suddenly showed a hint of hope.

Xia Qingling went into the kitchen and took out a large bowl and a small bowl, then went back to the room and took out a can of maltose, opened the lid, scooped three tablespoons into the large bowl, scooped two tablespoons into the small bowl, picked up the kettle next to him and wanted to pour water into the bowls, but found that the kettle was empty and there was no water in it.

No wonder the stove outside overturned. It seemed that Yao Hongmei wanted to boil water but accidentally overturned it, so she could only soak the rice with cold water.

Xia Qingling turned around and went into her room with the bowls, poured water into the bowls from the kettle in her room, soaked two full bowls, and walked into Yao Hongmei's room with the bowls.

She handed the big bowl to Yao Hongmei and said softly:

"Sister-in-law, drink some malted milk first, and I will make you food after you finish it."

Yao Hongmei was stunned for a moment, then took the bowl with red eyes. Just as she was about to feed her daughter next to her, she heard Xia Qingying say:

"You drink your own, I will feed Yingying."

After that, she picked up Yingying from the bed, sat on the edge of the bed, and fed the small bowl to her mouth.

The little girl was already very hungry. Smelling the milky aroma of malted milk, she was almost crying. She held the bowl with both hands and drank it in big gulps.

"Drink slowly, don't choke." Xia Qingying saw that she was drinking too fast and reminded her.

Yao Hongmei, who was standing next to her, looked at Xia Qingxing, who was concerned about her daughter, with a complex expression on her face, including confusion, surprise, and guilt...

After a while, she picked up the bowl in her hand, buried her head in the bowl, and drank it in big gulps.

The sweet malted milk, with a strong milky aroma, slid warmly through her throat. After drinking a bowl, her body and stomach were warmed up.

Soon Yingying finished drinking the malted milk, and lay back beside her mother with great satisfaction, licking her lips and saying:

"Aunt is bad, aunt is good, sweet, delicious..."

Listening to her daughter's words, thinking of what Lu Lidong and her son had done, and looking at Xia Qingxing, who was not very close to her in the past but was now the only one willing to help her, Yao Hongmei's eyes were full of guilt. Thinking of

the things that happened in the past, Yao Hongmei felt a surge of guilt in her heart, and suddenly raised her hand to hold Xia Qingxing's hand, and said with regret:

"Qingxing, I'm sorry! Lu Lidong and I were sorry for what happened in the past, and everything now is the retribution we deserve!"

Xia Qingxing was not surprised to hear her words.

Although Yao Hongmei didn't know that Lu Lidong had a fiancée when she was dating him, she knew about Wang Mingfang and her son's plot against the original body. Although she didn't participate directly, she didn't stop it either.

Yao Hongmei is not a bad person. Although the two sisters-in-law are not close in recent years, they have not made the original body feel bad. That's why Xia Qingqing didn't stand idly by

when she saw them starving. Now hearing her say this, Xia Qingqing wanted to give her a chance. She looked at Yao Hongmei and asked,

"Since my sister-in-law feels guilty about me, are you willing to tell everyone the truth and clear my name?"
