She came empty-handed, but her eyes were constantly fixed on the bananas that Gao Jinfeng and He Meiling had bought.
Sang Feiyu pretended not to see it, saying, "I'm fine."
"Two of my colleagues just came to visit me at home, and they bought me these bananas."
Sang Feiyu didn't need to say anything else; just this one sentence instantly put Chen Ting in an awkward position.
This is the opposite of saying she came to see her empty-handed.
Chen Ting looked away and gave an embarrassed smile. "I came in a hurry and forgot to bring something."
"I don't think you'd be angry with me over something like this, would you?"
Sang Feiyu broke off a banana and started peeling and eating it right in front of Chen Ting.
They didn't even let Chen Ting eat a single one.
She finished eating before replying, "How could that be? I'm already very happy that you came to see me."
Chen Ting couldn't help but swallow hard. "As long as you're not angry."
Her eyes couldn't help but stare at the banana.
"Sister-in-law, you still have children at home who are waiting for you to come home and cook for them, so we won't keep you for dinner. If there's nothing else, please go home first."
It wasn't that Sang Feiyu wanted to drive people away, but she knew that Chen Ting wouldn't come to see her for no reason.
Chen Ting's smile froze on her face, and she forced herself to say, "Xiao Yu, it's like this, your sister-in-law is here today and has another matter she wants to ask you for help with."
“I don’t have any money, and as for physical labor, my body is still very weak after giving birth. I don’t know what kind of help you need, sister-in-law?” Sang Feiyu said.
"Don't worry, I'm not here to borrow money from you, nor do I want you to do anything for me."
"I heard from Lin Qingqing that you have a lot of extra bottles of baby formula at home, so I was wondering if you could lend me one?"
Sang Feiyu thought to herself, "So this person came to steal my daughter's food rations!"
"Sister-in-law, your child is quite big, why do you need formula?"
Chen Ting explained, "The formula isn't for my child; it's for a relative."
“I have a relative who works nearby. She just had a baby and doesn’t have much breast milk. It’s also hard to get milk coupons. That’s why she had no choice but to ask me for help.”
That relative was from Chen Ting's maternal side, not a very close one, but people from her maternal side thought that she was a good match because she had married a military officer, so they came to her for help.
She didn't want others to know that she was actually living a very ordinary life, which is why she agreed.
She was initially worried about how to get baby formula for others, but when she heard that Sang Feiyu had some extra baby formula, she quickly went to her door.
She thought to herself, "We're relatives, surely they wouldn't even be willing to give me a bottle of milk powder?"
It's not like I don't want to give her money!
Sang Feiyu glanced at Chen Ting subtly before slowly speaking, "You know milk coupons are hard to come by. I finally managed to get a few bottles of milk powder, so why are there always people eyeing my little Duomi's milk powder?"
After hearing this, Chen Ting's face turned pale and then red, and she said somewhat embarrassedly, "If the situation hadn't been so difficult, I wouldn't have come to you."
Sang Feiyu said, "My mother-in-law managed to buy and send those milk powders to me in Shanghai. Some of them were brought by my maternal grandparents when they came from Shanghai. Aren't your in-laws also in Shanghai?"
"If you want to get some formula, have them find a way to get it for you. These few bottles aren't even enough for my little Domi, so I can't give them to you."
Chen Ting thought to herself that her in-laws were not as capable as Sang Feiyu's in-laws.
Milk powder is a rare commodity, and it's not easy for ordinary people to get a bottle.
"Xiaoyu, if my in-laws could get me baby formula, why would I need to come here?"
"To be honest, this is all my fault. When my relative came to me, I thought that others were also in trouble, so I agreed."
"I've been asking around and trying to exchange milk coupons with other people these past two days, but I didn't expect it to be so difficult."
"Xiaoyu, I've already promised someone. If I can't keep my promise, what will they think of me? Please help me this once, okay?"
