Chapter 68: Going to the Village Chief's House (2/2)



Wang stood up hurriedly and walked quickly to the village head's wife, holding her mother-in-law with one hand and patting her back with the other.

While patting me, he asked worriedly, "Mom, why are you coughing? Did you not cover yourself with a blanket at night and catch a cold?"

"What should I do? I need to see a doctor right away. Yes, a doctor. I'll call Doctor Yang over right away."

Grandma Li saw her daughter-in-law's talk getting more and more outrageous. Fearing she might make a fool of herself, she gently nudged Wang and said helplessly, "Mother is fine. She just had a shortness of breath from the cough. Miss Yue is coming to visit us today. Please go to the kitchen and cook a few dishes for her to eat."

Wang finally put her mind at ease when her mother-in-law said everything was fine. She wasn't really worried for no reason. It was just that the family couldn't afford for someone to get sick.

After all, it is better for a person to be healthy and free from illness. But once he has a minor illness or pain, he will have to see a doctor and take medicine, which will cause great trouble to his family.

If you get a serious illness, it won't take more than a year or two, and a family with good conditions can easily be ruined.

Although her father-in-law was the village chief, her family didn't live that well.

You know, as long as the father-in-law knows that someone's family is in trouble and can't make ends meet, he will use the family's food and money to help them.

Otherwise, my sister-in-law wouldn't have eaten anything healthy during her pregnancy, and she wouldn't have been so thin when she gave birth to Mengmeng, and even Mengmeng's body wasn't healthy.

These two days, the brother-in-law took the mother and daughter to Xinghua Village, Mengmeng's grandmother's house, and they will probably be back tomorrow.

Just hearing her mother-in-law ask her to cook a few dishes made her feel a little embarrassed.

It’s not that she doesn’t want to do it, it’s just that a good cook can’t cook without rice.

Now we have two meals a day at home, and none of them is dry food, all of it is porridge.

She and her mother-in-law are women, so it doesn't matter if they have small appetites. Her husband and father-in-law have a lot of things to do every day, and they won't feel full unless they are full.

Therefore, she would prepare an extra steamed bun for the man in the family at every meal, but even her husband could not be full. She felt very distressed when she saw her husband secretly getting up at night to drink cold water.

But as a woman, she stayed at home to take care of the children and cook every day, unlike her husband who could work in town to earn money.

In the past, my husband worked in the town and could earn ten cents a day, which was three cents a month, and he could do a lot of things.

But for some reason, I can't find any work recently, and my husband has been at home all this time.

Today, my father-in-law helped to deal with some matters at the Li family's old house and the home of my grandson. When he returned home, he asked my husband to help clean up the house of the Li An family at the foot of the mountain east of the village.

In fact, my husband was also prepared to go to jail without my father-in-law telling him, after all, it was Yue who saved Zebao.

Zebao is their fifth child after their marriage, a treasure that was not easily obtained. Saving Zebao is equivalent to saving the lives of both of them. This favor is too great to be repaid by giving gifts.

The village chief's wife saw her eldest daughter-in-law, Wang, standing there hesitating, and she also understood the situation at home.

So he went to the bedroom, got ten copper coins, handed them to Wang, and said, "Buy some meat."

Wang took the copper coin and was about to walk out the door.

"Sister Youliang, I brought a wild rabbit. You can take it to the kitchen and stew it."

"Girl Yue, take the rabbit home to nourish your parents and brother. They have a hard time living." The village chief's wife directly refused.

Wang didn't want to take the wild rabbit, but was thinking of buying meat in the town. She didn't know if Li Laogen's ox cart could still carry people, as she heard that he was sick.

If I can't take the ox cart, I have to walk to the town, and I don't know when I can get back.

Therefore, we must seize the time and not delay any further.

"Mom, I'm going to Li Laogen's house first to see if his ox cart can carry anyone. If not, I'll walk there."

"Hey, Tuo."

The village chief's wife also knew that she had to go to town to buy meat, but it was not easy for Yue girl to come home, so no matter what, she had to stay for a meal.
