"I also……"
Song's mother was grinning at the two of them from behind. She couldn't handle it. She forced a smile and went over to them: "My dear, I asked the eldest son to return the ox cart. We've arrived now. I'll take the grass home first."
"I'll go with you." Mother Liu was covered in dust, and there was a bloody mark on her face from a scratch by a fingernail. She looked very embarrassed.
Mother Song looked at her and frowned: "My dear, why don't you go back and change your clothes?"
Mother Liu looked down and patted it: "It's okay, it's just some dust, just pat it off."
A cloud of dust rose up and flew straight into Song's mother's face.
Song's mother retreated repeatedly. She had eaten one of her chickens. If this old woman Liu went to her house again, she would live ten years less.
"Her mother-in-law, it's not a big deal for you to come to my house every day. You can't just leave your whole family alone and focus on your daughter getting married."
"So what? My daughter almost died. I'm worried that she won't eat well and won't be able to take care of herself." The implication was that she had to keep an eye on the food.
Mother Song endured it and said, "Why don't you let Qingcao go back and live with you for a while, then you'll feel more at ease."
Liu's mother refused. If she took the child back, not only would she not have enough food to eat, but she would also have to pay some money. It was not worth it.
Mother Song carefully counted out a dozen bills and placed them in Liu Qingqing's hand: "Qingcao, stay for a few days and come back. This way your mother won't have to run back and forth to worry about you. I'll give you two dollars. Buy whatever you want to eat."
Liu Qingqing nodded and said, "Mr., my mother and I will go home and stay for a while."
Mother Liu was reluctant and didn't say anything else.
His eyes were fixed on the banknotes in his daughter's hand.
Liu Qingqing agreed without hesitation because when she woke up in the morning she saw the old woman squatting outside the chicken coop staring at the two remaining hens, and her heart ached so much that tears were about to burst out of her eyes.
The woman was probably really afraid that her chicken would die, so she took out the money.
Liu Qingqing checked the bills in her hand. It was only two yuan and twenty cents. She had lost a lot of money. It seemed that she had reached the limit of her patience and would rather buy peace of mind with the money.
Looking at the receding figure of his mother-in-law, Qian Lu tried extra hard.
Liu Qingqing felt a little sympathetic.
"My dear, take this money. I'll go cut some meat for you." Mother Liu smiled and reached out to grab it.
Liu Qingqing immediately put the money in her pockets and then moved to the space.
"Mom, I'll give you food money when I've lived here long enough." She didn't believe that her mother would cut her meat. It would be like cutting her own flesh.
When Liu's mother came over to pester her, Liu Qingqing said something about packing her clothes and ran away.
Mother Song felt footsteps behind her and turned around to find it was her.
"Why are you back?" Did you think the money was too little?
"I'm going back to pack some clothes."
Mother Song's expression softened: "Then come back after lunch. Your sister-in-law should have finished cooking by now."
"Why."
Tian Cuixiang stewed some Chinese cabbage, which was very soupy and it was obvious that no oil was added.
In addition, a plate of gou gou vegetables was also prepared.
Liu Qingqing tasted it and found it delicious even though it only contained salt.
At least it tastes better than cabbage.
She ate a little, put down her chopsticks and went back to the house to pack up.
Ever since I won an egg and malted milk, I would boil an egg and make myself a cup of malted milk when no one was around to supplement my nutrition.
You know what, it was her first time drinking malted milk and it tasted pretty good.
