In the dim kitchen, everyone finished a bowl of snake soup. Although they all felt a little unsatisfied, it was enough for the day.
No matter how delicious it is, you can’t eat it all in one go.
You can't eat one meal and not have the next one. This is the truth that Grandma Zhang has learned over the years. So no matter how lush the vegetables in the field grow, when she is not sure that there will be enough food for herself and Xiaobao, she would rather gnaw on tree roots than touch the life-saving things.
Once the vegetables are picked, they are gone.
If she really starved to death, Xiaobao could use the vegetables from the garden to exchange for some food and live one day at a time.
After everyone had a bowl of snake soup, there wasn't much left. In addition, Li Jinfeng had reserved half of it before cooking, so it was impossible to enjoy it to the fullest.
But there was still a bowl of snake soup in the pot, so Grandma Zhang said, "Jinfeng, take some back to your mother to try. She's a stepmother, and her life must be tough. She should give food and drink to the Li family first."
Speaking of Zhang Xiulan, Li Jinfeng also had questions to ask, "Grandma Zhang, my mother seems to be particularly good to Li Ailan and Li Aiju. She's even... willing to sacrifice herself and me for them. What do you think of her..."
"Girl Jinfeng, I know what you mean. Your mother has her own difficulties. A woman married far away with a child. To put it nicely, she is now a member of the Li family, but to put it bluntly, she is living under someone else's roof.
What's more, your mother has been with that man from the Li family for these years and they don't have any children. She is a woman and you are a child. If she doesn't rely on the Li family, who can she rely on?
I'm a woman too, and having raised my grandson, Xiaobao, over the years, I know how difficult it is. At the most difficult times, I even contemplated death, but I couldn't bear to see my grandson die so young. So, deep down, I told myself that as long as Xiaobao and I could survive, I could endure any hardship, even if it meant... even if it meant kneeling on the ground and barking like a dog, or drinking feces...
What Grandma Zhang said were all from her own personal experiences.
As he spoke, he was still choking with sobs.
When Zhang Xiaobao heard his grandmother crying, he put down the bowl that had been licked until it was shiny, rushed over and hugged Grandma Zhang.
"Grandma, you still have me, you still have me..."
At this moment, Li Jinfeng suddenly understood.
She felt that the knot in her heart was suddenly untied.
She has always been reserved towards the Li family and Zhang Xiulan.
What she didn't understand most about Zhang Xiu Lan was that every time something happened, Zhang Xiu Lan asked Li Jin Feng to be tolerant.
Li Jinfeng even had to endure such a serious injury on her head.
She thought Zhang Xiulan didn't love the original owner, and even... she once misunderstood that Zhang Xiulan didn't want to be watched and humiliated like before, so she chose to sacrifice her daughter.
But in fact, the original owner was suffering, and so was she.
Moreover, once Zhang Xiulan leaves the Li family and her true identity is discovered, her life will be difficult, but what about herself?
Zhang Xiulan doesn't dare to take the risk, but she dares to take the risk?
Li Jinfeng didn't think that she could survive well in this era under such circumstances with her own strength.
Therefore, the Li family is still a good refuge for her at present, unless one day she gets married and has the ability to protect herself, then she can talk about leaving!
The best way now is to save the Li family.
If the Li family is gone, neither Zhang Xiulan nor she will have a good life.
