"I received a bag of brown sugar last year, and I thought that my eldest daughter would give birth this month, so I kept the brown sugar for her confinement, so I locked it in the cupboard. But I didn't expect that your daughter opened the cupboard and took out the sugar to make tea with it herself!" Miao Fengqin was almost mad.
"Isn't it just a bowl of sugar tea?" Wang Jiao grumbled, "I drank sugar tea before and you didn't say anything, why are you reluctant to let me drink it now? Do you think it's more important for your daughter-in-law to give birth to grandchildren, but not your daughter? I'm injured, why can't I drink some sugar tea? If you hadn't forced me to marry into the Lu family, would I hide in my grandmother's house and get my head hit?"
"Did you only drink a bowl of sugar tea? Why are six eggs missing from the twenty I saved with great difficulty?"
Miao Fengqin ate six eggs in one meal of brown sugar eggs. When she saw the six egg shells in front of the stove, she almost fainted.
At the same time, she thought of the jewelry stolen by her daughter, and was heartbroken.
Wang Zhengguo reached out to stop his wife from raising her hand to hit his daughter. "Alright, stop being angry. It's not worth it to get upset now. I'll think of a way tomorrow to see if I can get some brown sugar."
Miao Fengqin snorted, "Do you think brown sugar is that easy to buy? If it was easy to buy, I wouldn't treasure it. Xue and Yun have a hard time, and Lu Jiang sent her sugar coupons to help her replenish her body. How can we accept her scarce goods so often? When Lu Jiang comes back and gets married, we have to have children. Xue has been malnourished since she was a child. If she doesn't replenish her body, when will she be able to have children? Besides, she and Lu Jiang will be apart more often in the future."
Because of Miao Fengqin's words, Wang Zhengguo refused to take the bag of red dates that Feng Qingxue brought the next day.
"What your aunt said yesterday made sense. You should keep these brown sugar and red dates for yourself to nourish your body and try to recover before Lu Jiang comes back. Your cousin has thick skin and tough flesh. She has been able to eat and drink since she was a child. Her body is very strong and she doesn't need any more nourishment."
Hey, what’s going on?
Feng Qingxue suppressed the doubts in her heart and said with a smile: "Uncle, I'm fine now. My cousin lost blood and needs to be replenished."
There were a large number of red dates stored in the space, most of which were as big as walnuts. In order not to attract attention, she specially picked out some small red dates with small cores and thick flesh, which was also a variety of red dates.
"No need to make up for it!" Wang Zhengguo waved his hand, "She's my own daughter, I can't treat her badly."
Feng Qingxue had no choice but to take it back and gave it to Aunt Feng behind her back.
"Didn't sister-in-law give birth? My uncle gave me some red dates, so I gave them to sister-in-law to replenish her blood."
"Oh, how can I feel embarrassed? On the day your sister-in-law was born, you secretly gave her two bags of brown sugar and thirty eggs without letting me tell anyone. Now you are giving me the red dates your uncle gave me." Aunt Feng felt extremely embarrassed. Her family did not help her niece in any way, but instead accepted a lot of things from her, and each thing was very scarce.
"Don't say that, aunt. Aren't the dry firewood that my family uses now all sent by my second uncle? In the winter, my second uncle and my two brothers helped me sweep the snow and repair the roof, which are all jobs that I can't do. I will have to trouble my second uncle and my brothers in the future!"
Having said that, Aunt Feng no longer refused, and she really wanted to give her daughter-in-law some nourishment.
Life is hard and malnutrition is a problem. If I supplement more, I can produce more milk so that my newly born grandson can eat enough and grow fat.
