Gu Rong ate only one cornbread bun and not much of the vegetables. Sun Yihua stared at her retreating figure, then frowned and looked at Gu Xing:
“Xiaoxing, Xiaorong is too thin. We need to make her eat more. Otherwise, she won’t be able to take it when she gets married and has children.”
Gu Xing didn't even want to talk about Gu Rong's usual appetite. When she had a good appetite, she could eat half a rabbit by herself, but she never gained weight.
Given her good appetite, he usually advises Gu Rong to eat less for her health, and dares not urge her to eat more.
My sister ate little today because she's become too picky and complained that the food wasn't good!
However, the meat on the table is all large pieces, which is the best for the villagers.
Gu Xing didn't dare to say anything more. He met Sun Yihua's gaze and smiled, saying, "I know, Mother. I'll keep an eye on her and make sure she eats more."
As she spoke, she picked up the serving chopsticks and put a few pieces of meat on Sun Yihua's plate for the others: "Mom, there's a lot of leftover food at home."
It's getting hotter and hotter. There are only three of us at home, so we definitely can't finish eating it all. It won't be able to eat it in two more days. Parents, sister, please come over and eat here for the next couple of days.
Sun Yihua waved her hand: "No, no, those are rapeseed, they don't spoil so easily. They can be kept in well water for a few days."
Knowing they were embarrassed, Gu Xing said firmly, "Mom, don't be so polite with me, or I'll call you for every meal."
After saying that, he tugged at Han Xinyi's sleeve.
Seeing that Gu Xing didn't look down on her parents and was genuinely trying to help them, Han Xinyi was deeply moved. She then looked at Sun Yihua and said, "Mom, just listen to Xing. If you keep refusing, it will hurt our feelings."
“Okay, okay, I won’t refuse, I won’t refuse,” Sun Yihua replied with a smile.
The Gu family was in perfect harmony, but things were not so harmonious with the Han family.
They hadn't eaten breakfast, and although they had borrowed some grain in the morning, it was only potatoes and dark flour. For the Han family, who were used to eating refined grains, these things were really hard to swallow.
But these things are the staple food of most villagers. The reason they were able to lend them the food was because of Han Yanru's special status, and they were not worried that the villagers would not pay it back.
The Han family also considered Han Yanru's situation and wanted her to go to the back mountain to get some things to exchange for money.
However, even after consulting with Dr. Han, they couldn't figure out what was wrong with Han Yanru's condition, so they were advised to go to the commune or the city for further examination.
The family is currently penniless. Han Yanru's entire face is covered in acne, and she also has a lot of acne on her limbs. It hurts to walk a few steps while wearing clothes, and she doesn't want to go out at all.
She sent her two sons to ask the families who had lent her money for it, but each family said they had no money and couldn't pay it back.
Even if a few families do pay back, it's only a few cents or a few dollars.
When Liu Daxue saw Han Yanru's appearance, some of the pimples on her face had already broken, some were red, some were swollen, and some were oozing pus. It looked disgusting, and she was also afraid of being infected.
But the thought is that if my granddaughter continues like this, her life is over.
Remembering the police's promise to investigate thoroughly, Liu Daxue felt that the money would be found sooner or later.
But it's unclear when they'll be found, and we don't know if my granddaughter's face will hold up.
Walking into her granddaughter's room, Liu Daxue went in and wanted to pat Han Yanru's head, but looking at the pimples that had spread to the roots of her hair, Liu Daxue hesitated, afraid of hurting her.
Withdrawing her hand, Liu Daxue patted the quilt and sighed deeply: "Yanru, we have no money or food left at home, and they won't pay us back when we ask for the money. It's because Grandma is incapable of taking you to the hospital."
I know you don't want to go out, but I can't push you away. Please, I'm begging you, even if you don't want to go out during the day, we'll go out at night.
You don't need to walk; your two older brothers will carry you. As soon as you catch your prey, I'll have your brothers sell it immediately, and we'll take you to the hospital the next day with the money, okay?
Although Han Yanru didn't want to go out, thinking about her face, she mumbled a "Mmm" from under the covers.
Seeing that her granddaughter agreed, Liu Daxue stared at her granddaughter with a pained expression for a while before sighing and going out to call her son and grandson to make a soft chair, afraid that her granddaughter would suffer more.
Han Yanru, lying in bed, touched the bracelet on her wrist and couldn't help but wonder who had harmed her.
Thinking of the people in her village and the neighboring village, only one face came to mind: Gu Rong.
Although she didn't believe that Gu Rong had that ability, Gu Rong was the only person in the entire village who had a grudge against her.
Even if it wasn't her, so what? Thinking about Gu Rong's face during the day, why was her face ruined while Gu Rong's was perfectly fine?
Recalling what Dr. Han said, her face might be contagious...
After the Gu family finished eating, everyone else got down from the ground, leaving only Han Xinyi and her sister and Gu Rong behind.
Han Xinyi had just gotten married. Although she had worked in the fields before, she hadn't done much.
Gu Xing felt he was capable of supporting his wife and sister, so he didn't plan to let Han Xinyi work in the fields; he just wanted her to cut grass for the cows with her sister.
Although she doesn't earn many work points each day, it's enough to keep her busy. She can then spend the rest of her time taking care of the family, which is quite tiring for her.
He also plans to continue hunting in the mountains, in addition to working in the fields. Although he can't catch any every day, it's still a considerable income.
As educated youth sent to the countryside, even if they were registered in the village, they had no right to work in the town's factories.
But Han Xinyi was different. Although she had only gone to junior high school, her education level in the commune was not low.
Gu Xing thought he would go to the commune later to see if he could buy a job for Han Xinyi. With a stable job, even if his income decreased later, it wouldn't have a big impact on his family.
These were all his own ideas; he hadn't discussed them with his wife and sister yet.
