"Soft girl, I don't have anything serious to do. I just want to borrow some milk powder from you."
Huang Meijuan said with a deeper smile on her face, "I heard that your four children all drink milk powder for half a year, so you must have a lot of milk powder at home, so lend some to my sister-in-law!
You don't know, my kid is getting fat and strong, and his appetite has increased recently, and my milk is not enough."
When saying these words, Huang Meijuan's face was full of pride and honor.
There are indeed many people in this world who like to praise their children all the time, and they do so no matter who they meet or talk to.
It's okay to praise your own child, but it's very problematic if someone comes to steal her child's food rations.
Su Ruanruan smiled, "Sister-in-law's son is strong and eats a lot, so I guess his stomach is also good, right? Has he started eating rice and other dishes?"
Huang Meijuan nodded repeatedly, "Of course not. We gave him all the eggs at home. We also gave him rice porridge, millet porridge, and white flour noodles. He ate them every day and they were delicious."
A six-month-old baby can already eat complementary food.
Huang Meijuan feeds quite a lot of different kinds of fish, but people these days are not that particular.
Those who can eat these things all come from well-off families.
There are many families with poor conditions and mothers without milk who feed their children with whole-grain porridge, and they can still keep them alive.
Compared to this, Huang Meijuan's son's food is already very good.
Su Ruanruan smiled again, "Sister-in-law has only this one son, and she is not completely without milk. She has milk to feed him, and she can also feed him eggs, white flour, etc. He is also white and plump, much better than the four children in my family.
Although the four children in my family were born half a month earlier, they were premature. They look well-nourished, but in fact their spleen and stomach are weak. They haven’t even eaten a bite of food until now. They are completely fed with milk powder. I’m afraid I can’t lend the milk powder to my sister-in-law. ”
Huang Meijuan was still happy when she heard what Su Runrun said before, and her face was full of smiles.
But after hearing the rest, Huang Meijuan's expression changed, "You...you said so much, just to tell me that you don't want to lend me milk powder?"
Su Ruanruan sighed, "I can't help it. My children are still hungry! My sister-in-law is a mother, she knows how to think about her children. As a mother, how can I not think about my children!"
This makes sense, and if you think about it carefully, there is nothing wrong with it.
Even if Huang Meijuan wanted to refute, she couldn't find any reason to refute. She just stared at Su Runrun.
Su Ruanruan didn't feel uncomfortable being stared at like this, and even smiled at Huang Meijuan, "Sister-in-law, why are you looking at me like this? Is there anything else?"
He didn't say a single word about chasing people away, but every word and sentence was about chasing people away.
Su Runrun had already ordered Huang Meijuan to leave, so she had to leave no matter how much she didn't want to.
But when he was about to leave, the look he gave Su Ruanruan became even more unfriendly.
Su Runrun was not afraid of Huang Meijuan's look at her.
If she wants to borrow her things, she can borrow them; if she doesn’t want to borrow them, she doesn’t have to.
Besides, just looking at Huang Meijuan’s reaction, you can tell that if this really starts, after the first time, there will be a second and a third time, and it will never end.
If he is unwilling to lend money next time, even if he gives the most reasonable reason, Huang Meijuan will hold a grudge against him.
Since people will hate you whether you lend it or not, it’s better not to lend it in the first place.
Regardless of the fact that Huang Meijuan didn't go far at all, Su Runruan was about to close the door immediately.
But before he could close the door, he saw a little soldier running towards him, panting.
"Captain Fu's wife, there's a letter for you!"
Hearing this, Su Ruanruan paused in her action of closing the door.
The only people who could write to her were those from the Red Flag Production Brigade.
There is no need to think about the people in the Su family. They don't break off relations with her only because they still want to suck her blood. When they can't get any benefits, they won't contact her at all, let alone write letters.
Then the person who wrote the letter could only be someone from the Fu family.
Su Ruanruan thought so in her heart and took the envelope from the little soldier.
Su Ruanruan only took a glance at the words on the envelope and recognized it. It was Fu Chunshan's handwriting.
After just one glance, Su Ruanruan smiled at the soldier who delivered the letter and said, "Thank you, thank you for your trouble!"
The young soldier was not very old, only about 18 or 19 years old, and his face instantly turned red. "You're welcome! It's not a bother, it's all I have to do. I'll go back to my duty now!"
As soon as the words fell, the man turned around and ran away quickly.
Huang Meijuan, who was almost at the door of her house, stopped when she saw the little soldier coming. Now she turned around and looked at Su Ruanruan curiously, "Who wrote the letter to you?"
"My family." Su Ruanruan answered briefly, "I still have to go back to read the letter, so I won't tell my sister-in-law more."
Without waiting for Huang Meijuan to answer, Su Runrun simply closed the gate.
Su Ruanruan had just returned to the room with the letter when Niu Guifang looked at her worriedly.
"Soft girl, Huang Meijuan asked you to borrow some milk powder? Don't lend it to her! She looked quite pitiful before, being bullied by Granny Li. But now it seems that after living with Granny Li for so many years, she has also learned Granny Li's ways.
Mrs. Li borrows this and that, and she has learned it now. If you really want to lend her money, she will definitely come to you endlessly. By then, she will be like a sticky candy, and you can't get rid of her even if you throw her away. "
If the relationship wasn't good enough, Niu Guifang would never have said such heartfelt words.
Su Ruanruan certainly understood that Niu Guifang was doing this for her own good.
"Don't worry, sister-in-law. I definitely won't lend it to her. My four little ones don't have enough to eat, so how can I lend it to her?"
"You are right to think so. Your own children are the most important. Everything else is empty talk. Don't let other people's opinions make your children suffer."
Niu Guifang has been working for a few years longer than Su Runrun, so she knows more and is more insightful. What she says is all based on experience.
Su Ruanruan listened carefully and took notes seriously, even though she already knew this.
The two talked for a while before Su Ruanruan opened the letter to see what Fu Chunshan had written.
The letter was written by Fu Chunshan, but the tone was that of Wang Maoni.
Most of the first page was filled with Wang Maoni scolding Su Ruanruan and Fu Wenjing, asking them why they had to buy so many things and send them back, and how everything she had said before was in vain, etc.
Looking at these words, Su Ruanruan couldn't help laughing.
Even though it's all nagging, it doesn't feel annoying at all since it comes from elders who care about you.
On the contrary, it makes people feel very heartwarming.
After saying this, Wang Maoni began to care about them again.
