Chapter 162: Chapter 0162 – One Month Later2_1 Chapter 162: Chapter 0162 – One Month Later2_1 “Last year, Feng Qingxue gave us a bag of brown sugar, I thought to save it for our eldest daughter who is due this month, for her postpartum care. I locked it in the cupboard, but who knew your daughter would take it out and make sweet tea with it!” Miao Fengqin was almost furious to death.
“What’s the fuss over a bowl of sweet tea?” Wang Jiao grumbled, “I used to drink sweet tea before, you never said anything. Why now, you’re not willing to give it to ? Do you think your daughter-in-law having a grandson is important and not your own daughter? I’m injured, why can’t I drink so sweet tea? If it wasn’t for you forcing to marry into the Lu Family, would I be hiding at my grandmother’s house and getting my head battered?”
“Did you only drink one bowl of sweet tea? Why are there six eggs missing from the twenty I had painstakingly saved?”
She nearly fainted when she saw that six eggs had been used for a sugar and egg concoction that was left on the stove.
anwhile, she thought of the jewelry stolen by her daughter, paining her heart deeply.
Wang Zhengguo held back his wife who was about to strike their daughter, “Alright, don’t get angry. It’s not worth it if you upset yourself over this. Tomorrow, I’ll think of a way to get so brown sugar.”
Miao Fengqin snorted, “Do you think brown sugar is easy to buy? If it was, I wouldn’t have treated it like a treasure. Life isn’t easy for Qingxue, Lu Jiang sent her sugar tickets because he wanted her to nourish her health. Can we really keep accepting such scarce goods from her? Once Lu Jiang returns and they get married, they’ll need to have a child. Qingxue has been malnourished since she was young, if she doesn’t properly nourish her health, when will she be able to have a child? Moreover, it’s inevitable that she and Lu Jiang will spend a lot of ti apart.”
Because of what Miao Fengqin said, Wang Zhengguo refused to accept the bag of red dates brought by Feng Qingxue the next day.
“Your aunt made a lot of sense yesterday, you keep this brown sugar and red dates to nourish your health. Try to take care of yourself before Lu Jiang returns. Your cousin is thick-skinned and tough, she’s been able to eat and drink plentifully since she was a child. She doesn’t need to replenish her health.”
Eh, what’s going on?
Feng Qingxue suppressed her doubts and smiled, “Uncle, I’m fine now. My cousin has lost a lot of blood, she needs to replenish.”
There were a lot of red dates stored in her space, most are as large as walnuts. To not attract attention, she deliberately selected so small, thick-fleshed red dates, which also are a variety of red dates.
“No need for replenishnt!” Wang Zhengguo waved his hand, “She’s my own daughter, I won’t treat her unfairly.”
Feng Qingxue had no choice but to take it back, and, out of sight, quickly gave them to Fengqin’s second aunt.
“Didn’t my sister-in-law just give birth? These are the red dates Uncle Wang gave . Auntie can give them to sister-in-law for recovery.”
“Oh my, how could we accept this? You had secretly given two bags of brown sugar and thirty eggs the day after your sister-in-law gave birth, asking not to make a fuss about it, and now you’re giving the red dates from your uncle.” Fengqin’s second aunt felt extrely awkward. She hadn’t been of any help to her niece but instead had accepted many rare items from her.
“Auntie, don’t say that. Aren’t we using the firewood that Uncle Second brought? In the winter, Uncle Second and my brothers helped clear the snow and fix the roof, all tasks that I couldn’t do. I’ll have to trouble Uncle Second and my brothers in the future!”
With Feng Qingxue’s words, Fengqin’s second aunt no longer declined, also because she genuinely wanted to let her daughter-in-law recover.
Life is hard, and malnutrition is prevalent. The more you supplent, the more breast milk there will be, and the newest grandson in the family can have plenty to eat and grow fat.
