Chapter 17 Taking Parents to the Town for Medical Treatment (2/2)



In fact, what he didn't know was that when Old Lady Li saw so many things being taken away, she was so heartbroken that she almost bled.

But because of Li Mengyue's fighting ability, he was afraid of being beaten again, so he could only be angry but not say anything.

After Li Mengyue left, Old Lady Li sat down on the ground and cried loudly. She only dared to shout "robber" and "bandit" and didn't dare to curse anything else.

After getting the food, Li Mengyue placed the food and drinks in front of her parents and the twins, and said gently, "Eat something first to fill your stomach. I'll buy you something delicious when we get to town."

The twins swallowed unconsciously when they saw what was in front of them. Ever since their father broke his leg and their mother fell ill, they hadn't had a full meal. They just drank some porridge every day, and it wouldn't be long before their stomachs would rumble with hunger again.

But they knew that their parents were already very sad, and they could not fail to understand and cause trouble for their parents. Therefore, even if they were very hungry, they would only secretly drink cold water to fill their stomachs.

In the past, Mrs. Li would have noticed that her two sons were not getting enough to eat, but she was so busy with her daughter and her husband's illness that she couldn't take care of herself and had no extra energy to care for her two young sons.

Li Mengyue noticed that the twins wanted to eat but were afraid to, so she gave each of them a steamed bun made of two-grain flour.

"Sister, I'm not hungry. Mom and Dad are sick, so please save it for them." said the twin brother Mingyu.

"Stop talking nonsense. Just take it. I gave you a lot and your parents can't finish it." Li Mengyue couldn't help but feed it into Mingyu's mouth.

Mingyu and Minghao had only drunk some water since morning and hadn't eaten a grain of rice, so they were already starving.

When his sister fed the steamed bread into his mouth, he started eating it unconsciously.

Minghao watched his brother eat, then saw that his sister had taken quite a lot of food, and began to eat with big mouthfuls as well.

When Li An saw his daughter coming, he realized that not only could he not give her a good life, but he also had to worry about the health of him and his wife. He felt so guilty that he couldn't eat even a bite, even though his stomach was so hungry.

"Dad, eat. Eat well and go to the doctor. It will not be in vain for your daughter's filial piety."

Mrs. Li originally thought that her life was hopeless, but now her daughter is here. It seems that her daughter is not an ordinary girl. She cannot hold her daughter back. Besides, her two sons are still young and need to be taken care of by herself.

So after Li gave himself some self-suggestion, he cheered up, picked up the food and started eating.

It's just that she saw the guilt in her husband's eyes, understood what he was thinking, and knew what he was worried about.

No matter how much we say, if you insist on being too picky, no one can help you.

After Li came to her senses, she started eating with big mouthfuls, just like her son.

Li An saw his wife and son eating with relish, and suddenly felt hungry, so he subconsciously put the food in his hand into his mouth.

Li Mengyue watched her parents struggle for a while, then started to eat, and the heavy stone in her heart fell to the ground.

To be honest, she was really afraid that her parents would be hit too hard, unable to accept it for a while, and lose the faith to live.

Now that you are well and willing to eat and drink, it means you still want to continue living and want to work hard to live a better life.

No longer worried about her parents, Li Mengyue picked up her portion of food and started eating.

However, while he was eating, he did not forget to hand two steamed buns to Li Laogen who was driving.

"Grandpa Lao Gen, these two steamed buns are yours."

When Li Mengyue took the food, in addition to taking enough for her family, she also took two more steamed buns to give to Li Laogen.

After all, cattle are very scarce nowadays. For farmers, cattle are the family’s biggest asset. People can eat less, but they will definitely not lack fodder for the cattle.

You should know that the cows in Li Laogen's family are the only two yellow cows in Xinghua Village, and the other one belongs to the village chief.

The reason why Li An asked his son to borrow an ox cart from Li Laogen was not only because the village chief lived a little far away from Li's house, but also because Li Laogen would drive an ox cart to transport people from the village to the town during the slack season, and he only needed to pay two cents to do it.

Now Li Laogen was able to lend them the ox cart without hesitation, and was worried that there was no one at home who could drive the ox cart, so he drove the cart specially to take them to the town. Even if he paid her, Li Mengyue would not forget this favor.

Li Laogen was driving the cart when two steamed buns suddenly appeared in front of him, which scared him.

Seeing clearly that it was handed over by Li An's daughter, he did not take it. Instead, he said disapprovingly: "Girl, Grandpa Lao Gen is not hungry, leave it for you to eat."

Li Mengyue had no experience of dealing with an honest farmer like Li Laogen. She stretched out her hand, holding two steamed buns, and wanted to stuff them directly into the other's arms, but she didn't want to affect the image of her in the eyes of her parents, so she felt a little embarrassed for a moment.

Li An couldn't bear it any longer and spoke out to help: "Uncle Lao Gen, just take the child. There's still a lot left."

Seeing that Li An had spoken, Li Laogen carefully took the steamed bread and ate it in small bites.

However, Li Mengyue noticed that Li Laogen ate half of it and was unwilling to eat it anymore, but put it away quietly.
