"Alright, let take care of this little ancestor. Why are you also so dirty? Go clean up quickly, I’ll make dinner later."
In the countryside, won don’t even have the luxury of postpartum confinent after giving birth, let alone for just a minor recuperation.
After being taken care of for several days, she didn’t have the face to leave all the troubles to her daughter, who was still a child.
Hearing what Silver said, An Ning didn’t refuse and took the opportunity to express her thoughts, "Mom, I picked so mulberries this morning. I want to go to town later to see if I can exchange them for so money."
Looking along An Ning’s gaze, Silver unsurprisingly saw a basket full of mulberries in the corner of the wall, which startled her greatly.
"Why did you wake up so early to pick these things? These grow all over the mountains. If you want to eat, just go into the mountains and pick so. Who would buy them!"
"Whether they can be sold or not, we have to try. Otherwise, as things continue, in a couple of days we might be forced back to the Gao family, and then we’ll really be at their rcy." An Ning said.
An Ning’s reasoning was sothing Silver understood as well.
However, the thought of An Ning having to go out to make a living at such a young age made her heart ache.
At the sa ti, Silver also reflected in her heart about bringing her child when she married into the Gao family, wondering if it was a right or wrong decision.
In fact, if she had sold the house back then, they would have had money to treat An Ning’s illness, but then they wouldn’t have had a place to stay.
"If you really want to go, go find your uncle and have him accompany you to the county. It’s not safe for a girl to travel far. Although our town is not small, it doesn’t compare to the wealth and prosperity of the county. In the county, there might be people who would rather spend the money instead of picking them themselves." Silver advised.
"Okay." An Ning thought that Silver made sense, and since they were located between the county and town, it wouldn’t be much further to go to the county.
No matter where, she could only rely on her two legs.
An Ning didn’t dare waste any more ti and, with her basket on her back, said, "Mom, I’m leaving now."
"Ah, be careful on the road." Silver reminded, still worried.
An Ning had just stepped out with her basket when she was pulled aside by An Dafu.
"Dad, why aren’t you staying ho to recuperate? Why did you co here?" An Ning asked.
An Dafu pointed to the cloth bag at his hand and said, "I was worried you wouldn’t have anything to eat, so I brought you so rice."
An Dafu almost had a full understanding of her situation here. The only reliable person in the Yan family, Yan Qiushou, during the ti of the family split, due to Yan Old Man’s gambling habits, had practically left with nothing. Although he had accumulated over the years, it was just enough for them to barely get by, so they didn’t have much ability to help others.
Afraid that An Ning would go hungry, he sold the last two acres of land he had after paying off his gambling debts. He then bought so high-quality white rice from a family with good conditions in the village to deliver early in the morning, so the child wouldn’t starve.
An Ning opened the cloth bag, and inside was good quality, white rice.
"Did you keep so for yourself?"
"I did, I did. Do you think I would let myself starve?" An Dafu said.
An Ning felt extrely lucky to have t parents like Silver and An Dafu in both her lifetis, who always worried about her well-being.
"By the way, what are you up to?" An Dafu asked, looking at the basket on An Ning’s back.
An Ning didn’t hide it, "I picked so mulberries and I’m going to the county to see if I can sell them."
