Qi Mengmeng sighed after listening to this. Two children were gone just like that. If she said that everything was Li Pandi's fault, she was also punished.
Ye Tao snorted, "I heard that several people who bought the prescription went to ask Captain Lin's wife to return the prescription. She is not feeling well during her confinement."
That's right. Li Pandi had a good relationship with Li Laidi in the family compound, but Aunt Xu had to help Li Laidi with her confinement after childbirth, so she had no time to take care of Li Pandi.
Although the two children in Lin Jianjun's family are grown up, Lin Jianjun married Li Pandi in the first place so that someone could take care of the three of them.
Originally, Lin Jianjun didn't want Li Pandi to have a baby. Li Pandi went through all this trouble, but she lost the baby, injured herself, and even affected Lin Jianjun's reputation in the military region.
Lin Jianjun didn't kick her out because she lost her child, but he wouldn't take care of her.
Except for the two days when Li Pandi had just returned from the hospital, Lin Jianjun bought meals from the canteen, and Li Pandi started working in the fields from the third day.
It's summer now, and clothes for adults and children need to be washed every day, plus cooking. Even if we don't clean the house, it's still a lot of work to do.
Li Pandi was lucky enough to have a rest for a while, let alone confinement.
But all this has nothing to do with Qi Mengmeng. Ever since Li Pandidi spread rumors that she couldn't have children, the two of them have completely cut off any relationship.
Now the two of them were just strangers, and she was just listening to some gossip.
Seeing that Qi Mengmeng was not interested in Li Pandyi's affairs, Ye Tao started talking about other things. She did not leave until she had finished talking about all the gossip in the family compound.
Great, another day to enjoy eating melons.
Qi Mengmeng turned around and was about to get a bottle of iced happy water from the space when she heard the door being pushed open.
She smiled and turned around: "Sister Taozi..."
Outside the door was Aunt Xu, who came over specifically because she heard Ye Tao leaving from next door.
Qi Mengmeng paused for a moment, and greeted her: "Aunt Xu, you're here, come in and sit down?"
Aunt Xu looked at the distant smile on Qi Mengmeng's face, her face felt bitter, but she still said it.
"Mengmeng, my grandson has been eating milk powder since he was born. You are in the food factory, can you help buy some milk powder?"
It has been more than half a month and Li Lai Di has no milk, even though she drinks a lot of soup and eats a lot of meat.
In the end, the Xu family had no choice but to accept it and prepare to continue feeding the child milk powder.
I have to deny it. I don't know what's wrong with this child. He refuses to drink anything except milk powder. When I feed him some rice soup, he spits it out. He cries because he is hungry, but he won't drink anything except milk powder.
For this reason, Aunt Xu named him Xu Gui.
Isn’t it expensive? Less than a month after birth, he had already consumed several bags of milk powder. Xu Daming borrowed almost all the milk powder coupons from his acquaintances.
Originally, Aunt Xu didn't want to come, but Li Laidie said that when Gu Guizhi was injured last year, he often drank milk powder. Maybe they had connections, and even if they couldn't buy milk powder, they could buy a few more barrels of malted milk. Maybe Xu Gui drank malted milk.
For the sake of her grandson, even though she knew that the relationship between the two families was not as good as before, Aunt Xu still asked.
Qi Mengmeng didn't expect that Aunt Xu came to borrow milk powder coupons. She shook her head. It was not that she didn't want to give, but that she really didn't have any.
Most of the milk powder that Gu Guizhi drank when he was injured came from her space. That was adult milk powder, and Qi Mengmeng was not sure if it was suitable for babies to drink.
What if the child gets sick after drinking the milk powder and the Xu family comes to find out?
Qi Mengmeng didn't want to get herself into trouble because of the Xu family, with whom she had an average relationship.
"Aunt Xu, it's not that I don't want to lend you the milk powder coupons, it's that I really don't have any."
Aunt Xu didn't expect Qi Mengmeng to refuse so straightforwardly. She couldn't help but say, "I saw that Deputy Commander Gu drank a lot of milk powder when he was injured last year. Do you still have any milk powder tickets?"
The smile on Qi Mengmeng's face completely faded. She said awkwardly, "Most of the milk powder Guizhi drank last year was given by relatives. After he finished drinking it, it was gone. We can't trouble our relatives anymore."
She has made it very clear that we don't want to trouble our relatives, so you should just keep quiet.
If it were someone else, Qi Mengmeng would have found a way to find some milk powder, but Li Pandi's character made Qi Mengmeng have no expectations of Li Laidi at all.
What if she found milk powder tickets for the Xu family and Li Lai Di blamed her again?
Ever since what happened with Li Pandi, Qi Mengmeng felt that it was better not to gamble on human nature.
Aunt Xu didn’t know whether what Qi Mengmeng said was true or false. She only knew that Qi Mengmeng was unwilling to find milk powder coupons for their family.
The expectation in her eyes fell, her shoulders drooped, she said a few words reluctantly, and left.
Qi Mengmeng felt sorry for it, but she really had no milk powder, and she thought that the Xu family would definitely be able to think of other solutions.
It is difficult to buy milk powder nowadays, and there are many children who have no milk to drink. They usually drink rice soup, or ask someone to help feed them, and some drink goat milk.
Qi Mengmeng remembered that there were sheep in the village next to the military area. If the Xu family gave them some money, it should be possible to buy some milk every day. It just depended on whether the Xu family was willing to make such an effort.
Although it is a bit troublesome, it is still easier than looking for milk powder everywhere. It is really hard to buy milk powder at this time.
Aunt Xu returned home with a frown on her face. Li Pandi was holding her son anxiously. Seeing her, she asked expectantly, "Mom, did Mengmeng lend you the milk powder ticket?"
Aunt Xu shook her head: "No, Mengmeng said his family doesn't have any milk powder coupons."
"How could there not be any? Didn't Deputy Captain Gu drink a lot of milk powder last year?" Li Laidie's voice was sharp, she didn't believe it.
"Meng Meng said that the milk powder that Vice Captain Gu drinks is collected by his relatives..."
"Then let her relatives gather some more money for our Guibao. Guibao is so pitiful. He has no milk to drink since he was born. If he doesn't have milk powder, how can he grow up?" Li Laidie burst into tears loudly, scaring Xu Gui in her arms to tears.
Aunt Xu quickly stepped forward and took the child in her arms, and whispered, "Why are you crying? Look how scared the child is."
Li Lai Di stopped crying and watched Xu Gui calm down in Aunt Xu's arms. She stood up and put on her shoes: "I'm going to find Qi Mengmeng and ask her to lend me some milk powder coupons. My son can't be without milk powder."
Aunt Xu held Xu Gui in her arms and hurriedly tried to stop Li Lai Di: "They've already said they don't have any left. Why are you asking for it? If you ask for it, they'll give it to you."
If the two families had the same old relationship, Aunt Xu would have shamelessly asked Qi Mengmeng for help, but the relationship between the two families was now dull, and it could even be said that Li Pandi and Qi Mengmeng were enemies. She really couldn't bring herself to ask Qi Mengmeng to ask relatives for help.
Besides, Xu Gui definitely drinks more than just one or two bags of milk powder. If he can ask Qi Mengmeng once, he can ask her a hundred times.
