Chapter 90: Sister Liu

After Gu Cheng came back, Liu Yinyin brought out the mung bean soup hanging in the well.

She scooped a bowl for Gu Cheng and drank a bowl of mung bean soup for herself.

"Comfortable." Gu Cheng drank a bowl of cold mung bean soup and felt relaxed all over. He couldn't help but say, "I'll have another bowl."

After all this trouble, he still hadn't had a sip of water.

Liu Yinyin saw through it but didn't say anything. She pointed at the mung bean soup in the small porcelain bowl and said, "The rest is for you."

During the meal, Gu Cheng took the initiative to tell her about the Gu family, including buying food for them.

Liu Yinyin didn't say anything, but she wouldn't take the initiative to help either. She wouldn't get any benefit from all the trouble.

However, I still reminded him: "If you want to buy food, buy it earlier."

In the next few years, food prices will only increase, and the later you buy, the more you lose.

Gu Cheng said thoughtfully, "Let's wait for a while to see if there is any news from Jianguo. If there is a way, we can buy more food and store it in the house in the county town first, and then send some to my parents every month."

As for the money for buying food and flowers, it was naturally deducted from the ten yuan given to Gu's mother every month.

Liu Yinyin just said "oh" and said nothing. This man was very thoughtful.

Seeing that she didn't say anything, Gu Cheng glanced at Liu Yinyin and said, "Why aren't you talking? Are you unhappy?"

"No, there's nothing for me to be unhappy about." Liu Yinyin said in a muffled voice.

It is Gu Cheng's responsibility to take care of his own parents, just like she...had asked Jiang Cuihua and others to buy food in advance.

However, I still feel a little uncomfortable.

Gu Cheng thought for a moment and added, "If we buy some food, we can send some back to your parents."

It’s not that he forgot about the Liu family, but Liu Yinyin loved to stockpile food, and the Liu family had a lot of food stored.

Unlike the Gu family, who need him to worry about them.

"Let's talk about it later." Liu Yinyin was not angry about this at all, and it had nothing to do with Gu Cheng. She sighed and said, "Hurry up and eat. I'm not angry with you."

Now that things have come to this, there is no point in saying more.

Gu Cheng brought home a basket of fruits, the same as those given to Gu's family, including grapes, red dates and a big watermelon.

However, the quantity of grapes and red dates was larger, so in addition to eating them at home, some had to be sent to the Liu family.

The next day was another sunny day.

After breakfast, Liu Yinyin cooked a pot of pig food to feed the pigs.

The two piglets at home are growing well because she feeds them a lot. The two pigs are very fat and now weigh about 120 to 130 kilograms each.

I can still raise it for a few more months, and by the end of the year, it will have no problem growing to 200 kilograms.

The pigpen had been cleaned this morning, so it was quite clean inside.

Before she finished feeding the pigs, she heard someone outside yelling at her, "Yinyin, open the door quickly."

When Jiang Cuihua came, she would also call her to open the door. In fact, this was normal, as country people rarely knocked on the door.

Liu Yinyin put down the gourd and went to open the door with some confusion.

Judging from the voice, it's not Jiang Cuihua, but rather sounds a bit like her second sister-in-law.

However, this person had never come except for the time when Gu Yanyan was full of moonlight. No one knew what was wrong with Mrs. Liu that she actually came to see her today.

When I opened the door, it was indeed Mrs. Liu standing outside.

"Hey, why do you keep the door closed in broad daylight?" Mrs. Liu walked in by herself, looking very friendly, as if she had forgotten the previous unpleasantness.

Liu Yinyin glanced at her, and considering that she was a pregnant woman, she said in a calm tone, "Second sister-in-law, do you have something to talk to me about?"

Mrs. Liu smiled and said, "Well, it's not that I'm pregnant. Mother is worried that I'll get sunburned in the field, so she let me rest at home for a few days. Mother has to go to work now and has no time to take care of the child for you.

I was thinking...I'm just sitting around at home with nothing to do anyway, why don't I take care of your kids?"

There can't be too many idle people at home. Since Mrs. Liu was pregnant and didn't go to work, Jiang Cuihua went to work in the fields by herself.

Liu Yinyin was terrified: "...Second sister-in-law, don't bother you. I don't have to go to class now, so I can take care of the kids when I'm free."

Even if she was busy, Liu Yinyin didn't dare to leave Gu Yanyan to Liu Ersao.

I don't know whether Mrs. Liu really didn't understand or was just pretending to understand. She waved her hand and said without any concern, "It's okay. I can help with other tasks. I can definitely do better than mother can."

Liu Yinyin was almost speechless: "Second sister-in-law, what do you want to do?"

She reflected on whether she was too easy to talk to. Why did everyone treat her as if she had no temper?

Seeing that she looked unhappy, Mrs. Liu explained awkwardly, "Little sister, don't be angry. Actually...actually, I just wanted to ask you for some fruit. I'm pregnant now, so my appetite is not very good. But after eating the peaches you gave me yesterday, my appetite has improved immediately."

The pregnancy this time was not looking good, and the food in the cafeteria was so bad that Mrs. Liu couldn't eat at all.

Jiang Cuihua was concerned about the famine, but was unwilling to take out the food stored at home to improve her diet.

I don’t know if it’s because the baby in her belly is too greedy, but Mrs. Liu always wants to eat something delicious.

Jiang Cuihua brought back peaches yesterday and she ate two in one go!

Unfortunately, there were many people in the family, and Jiang Cuihua didn't let her eat more. She was only allowed to eat two because she was pregnant.

Otherwise...the peaches would be saved for the kids at home.

Liu Yinyin asked expressionlessly: "So?"

So, Liu Ersao started to set her sights on her sister-in-law's family.

However, she didn't dare to provoke Liu Yinyin, because Liu Yinyin would definitely not be happy if she asked for something without asking.

She has no money to buy it.

So, she thought of helping Liu Yinyin take care of the children, doing some work, and earning some hard work pay. She didn't want anything else.

Just like Jiang Cuihua, Liu Yinyin just needs to give her something delicious.

Thinking of this, Liu Ersao smiled at her sister-in-law and said, "I can help you with the work and earn some fruits to eat."

Liu Yinyin's face darkened when she heard this: "......Sister-in-law, this is not the old society, you'd better be careful with your words."

Second Sister-in-Law Liu exclaimed, "I'm not talking too much. We are all a family, we just help each other out."

She still knows her limits. They are a family, and even if bones are broken, tendons are still connected. If anything happens to Liu Yinyin, the people in the Liu family will definitely suffer as well.

Liu Yinyin didn't have much to say to her, so she told her directly: "Second sister-in-law, I really don't need your help here. You are pregnant, so you should go back and rest."

There wasn't much housework, so she could handle it by herself.

Besides, she didn't have a good relationship with Liu Ersao before, so Liu Yinyin didn't dare to keep her at home.

Mrs. Liu knew that she had done something wrong in the past, and she didn't expect her sister-in-law to treat her well.
