Lin Qiaoqiao finally understood what was going on. The child was sick and she couldn't wait to get some food. So she went back to the house and took out the money box from the cabinet. There were about 50 yuan in it, so she took out 10 yuan. When she passed the outer room, she wrapped some oil shuttles with newspapers and went out to the yard.
Wang Lanying was about to put down the basket and leave, but when she saw the man come out again with something in his hand, she widened her eyes in disbelief.
"Second sister-in-law, I have some money here. You can take it back to the eldest sister-in-law and ask her to take the child to the county hospital to get an IV drip. Maybe the child will get better." Lin Qiaoqiao knew that the current medical conditions were a bit backward, but she could still get things with money, but she had to spend more money. She stuffed the packed oil shuttle into the basket and put the money on it.
"Take the food back. The child is sick and should eat something good. As an aunt, I cannot snatch food from the child."
"Little sister, are you okay?" Wang Lanying's hand almost touched her forehead. She wondered if her sister-in-law had a fever. Why did she give money and take things today?
"What's the matter? Isn't it enough that I've become a better person? I don't have much, so I'll just do my best. There's oil dumplings in the newspaper, which are a bit salty. Give the children less when you go back." Lin Qiaoqiao thought to herself that if she left Qin Fang, the first place to stay should be the Lin family. She should make good use of the next six months to build relationships, and then she could go home with her bag.
In the original owner's memory, the eldest and second sisters-in-law were good people, but the third sister-in-law was a bit calculative. Plus, with a protective mother, even if he went back now, he wouldn't have a bad life.
"Qiao Qiao, you have really grown up." Wang Lanying couldn't take all the things back. Although her mother-in-law was usually easy to talk to, she could really hit people if she really got into a fight. She picked up the money and the oil shuttle wrapped in newspaper by her sister-in-law, "I won't take back the food you brought. It was given to you by our mother. As for the money and the oil shuttle, I'll take them back to my sister-in-law."
Lin Qiaoqiao knew the original owner's mother's temper, so she didn't insist.
"That's fine too. Go back and tell her to take the child to the hospital as soon as possible."
Wang Lanying, "Then I'll go back first. If you have anything to say, please send someone to send a message back."
Lin Qiaoqiao nodded and took the two children to send the person to the door. She only breathed a sigh of relief after the person left. It seemed that this hurdle was passed.
Wang Lanying felt that everything was unreal on the way home, until she got home and saw the old woman feeding the pigs.
"Mom, our Qiao Qiao has become better!"
Liu Cuihua listened to the nonsense words and turned around and walked to the opposite side of the second daughter-in-law.
"What's the matter?"
Wang Lanying calmed down and said, "I have given everything you gave me to you. I have completed this task.
When I was chatting with my younger sister, I told her that my eldest sister-in-law's child was sick, so she gave me 10 yuan and a bag of oil sticks, asking me to bring them back for the child.
Liu Cuihua was a little skeptical after hearing this. "You said Qiao Qiao gave you 10 yuan and asked you to bring back a bag of oil shuttle for the child to eat?"
She knew her daughter well, and she was very protective of her food since she was young. If something came into her hands, don't expect it to come back, and sometimes even her own mother couldn't help.
Wang Lanying took out the money on her own initiative and said, "My little sister told us to take the money and take the child to the hospital, saying that there should be no delay."
"You didn't cry to Qiao Qiao, did you?" Liu Cuihua looked at the money handed over. This was the first time she received money from her daughter. To be precise, this money was for her eldest daughter-in-law. She felt a little jealous because this money was not for her.
Wang Lanying quickly shook her head and denied it. "No! It's just that Qiao Qiao looks a little different. She loves to laugh and speaks softly. I just thought it might be because Qin Fang is back. He retired from the army and now works in a steel factory. We used to be apart more than together, but now they are finally together, and my sister-in-law's personality has changed."
Liu Cuihua looked at the money in her hand and stuffed it back, "You are giving this money to the boss. Tell the boss what you just said. Don't hide it."
"Okay, I get it. What about the oil-saury dumplings?" Wang Lanying pursed her lips. Her family's conditions were okay, but if they wanted to eat oil-saury dumplings, they could only do so during the Chinese New Year.
Liu Cuihua made a prompt decision, "Take it back and share it with the children. You can't steal it. This is for Qiao Qiao to eat for the children."
Wang Lanying quickly nodded in agreement, then picked up her things and hurried into the front room.
The Lin family has never split up. Every son will build a house before getting married. Because old man Lin is the village chief, the materials and labor costs are not expensive, and he only needs to provide everyone with a lunch.
So many houses were built in a large yard, with three rooms for each son. They were the old-style earthen houses that could shelter from rain in summer and snow in winter and were very common in rural areas.
As soon as I entered the outer room, I heard the child coughing, and he sounded very uncomfortable.
After entering the room, I saw my sister-in-law feeding her daughter water. The little girl's face was pale and she didn't look well.
Wang Lanying called out softly, "Sister-in-law!"
Yu Hui put down the bowl in her hand, "Are you back? How's it going over there? Is my sister-in-law okay?"
Wang Lanying didn't care about anything and took out the money first. "This is 10 yuan that Qiao Qiao asked me to bring you. She asked you to take the child to the hospital. She said that the child would be fine after an IV drip."
"Is this the money she gave me? Or did our mother ask you to give it to me?" Yu Hui looked at the money handed to her but did not take it immediately.
Wang Lanying didn't care and stuffed the money into her hand. "This money is really given to me by Qiao Qiao. Mom doesn't have much money right now. If she had money, she would have asked you to send the child to the hospital a long time ago."
"Really?" Yu Hui took the money. "Can she be so kind?"
Wang Lanying, "I don't know either. Anyway, she seemed like a different person when we met today. She smiled when she talked to me. She gave me money and asked me to bring some oil sticks for the children to eat. She also asked me to bring back the things I brought back, but I dared not bring them back. Those were the things the old lady saved for her. If I took them back, would my mother still forgive me?"
"She also asked you to bring back the things you brought over. Is she sick?" Yu Hui was shocked and wondered if her sister-in-law was up to something bad. "Didn't she ask you for anything?"
Wang Lanying shook her head. "She didn't ask for anything. We just chatted for a few minutes and then I came back. I thought maybe her husband retired from the army and that made her calm down."
Yu Hui looked at the money in her hand and said, "I really didn't expect her to give me money. I don't know whether I should spend it or not."
Wang Lanying, "My mom already knows about this and asked me to bring the money over. Then let's just spend it! Take the child to the hospital for a checkup. If we can buy anti-inflammatory drugs in the hospital, wouldn't it be the same if we take them home?"
