She hasn't had a baby yet, so she'll have plenty of time to go to the black market to exchange for maltose coupons in the future.
The mother and daughter soon arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative.
This supply and marketing cooperative is the largest in the city, and it sells the most complete items, including televisions, sewing machines, and other large items.
There were three bottles of maltose on the counter, and Ling Chuchu bought one.
Liu Fanghua held the maltose with a hint of joy on her face, "Si Wa, your little niece is saved now."
"Mom, what happened to my little niece?" Ling Chuchu asked anxiously.
What do you mean by saved?
Is she sick? If you're sick, you have to go to the hospital. A bottle of maltose can only cure hunger, not illness.
"Your sister-in-law took all the meat coupons that mom bought for her at the black market to her parents' home, and she ate dry coarse food. Giving birth is physically taxing for women, and if they don't eat good food, they won't be able to produce milk. Your little niece can't drink breast milk, and her body is getting weaker and weaker. I'm worried that she won't live long. Every time I go to her, my heart aches. But with this bottle of malted milk, even if mom doesn't care about the baby, the baby has food to eat, and mom and your eldest brother will take care of it. She will definitely have no worries about life."
She was really angry when she talked about her daughter-in-law.
Other people's daughters-in-law are all on the side of their in-laws, but their daughter-in-law wants to take all the things of their Ling family to her parents' home.
"How could my sister-in-law be like this? She gave birth to that child herself."
Ling Chuchu was shocked and bit her lips.
How could there be such a mother in the world?
So, yesterday's meal was also closely related to my mother's help to my sister-in-law.
"Oh..." Liu Fanghua sighed and raised her hands, "Forget it, let's not talk about her. But this bottle of maltose, if it's all taken away, I'm afraid she will send it to her parents' home again if I don't pay attention."
"Mom, that shouldn't happen. As far as I know, there are no children in my sister-in-law's family, not to mention her brother, she won't do things so thoroughly."
Ling Chuchu doesn't recommend that her mother take charge of the maltose. After all, the child is still with her biological mother and gets hungry quickly. She needs to eat at least several meals a day, and she has to make maltose for the child at night.
If she puts it away this time, she won't make it frequently, what should she do if the child is hungry?
"Your brother has to go to the factory in the morning. When I am taking care of the children, how can I always keep an eye on your sister-in-law? Your sister-in-law's parents live nearby. Sometimes when I go to take care of the children in the morning, she slips away to her parents' home without paying attention. Her parents' family has no children, but there is a troublesome sister. Your sister-in-law loves her fourth sister more than her own children."
How to say it, after listening to her mother's words, Ling Chuchu felt that her sister-in-law seemed to be missing a thread in her brain and was not normal.
There are such women in the world who love their own sisters more than their own children.
Liu Fanghua then added:
"Anyway, I go there every day to take care of the children. I will pack the maltose and take some with me every time I go there. When I come back in the afternoon, I will leave some maltose for your sister-in-law."
"That's fine, but it's too hard for you to run around like this. I'll feel bad if you get tired."
Speaking of which, our home is about six or seven kilometers away from my brother's place. My mother walks every day, and her legs are not very good. I'm really worried that her body can't handle it.
Hearing the lady say this, Liu Fanghua was startled, then grinned, "You are the only one in the family who speaks so sweetly, you are so happy and dote on me."
Ling Chuchu held Liu Fanghua's arm affectionately, "You are my only mother, you have loved me since I was a child, now that I have grown up, I have to be even better to my mother."
She added in her heart: not only because Liu Fanghua looks like her mother in her previous life, but also because Liu Fanghua makes her feel kind, and in addition, she once secretly vowed in her heart to honor her parents on behalf of her original self.
"It's not in vain that I love you." Liu Fanghua's eyes were slightly moist. Her lady used to be like a little hedgehog, with a bad temper, and her words were not as sweet as they are now.
"Mom, we should go to my brother's house."
Ling Chuchu gently shook her arm.
She couldn't wait to see her little niece.
"We have to go home first and pack the maltose separately." Liu Fanghua didn't forget about this. She was really scared by her daughter-in-law who always wanted to go to her mother's house.
If she didn't take precautions, her granddaughter might not survive.
The two went home and arrived at the place. It was already past ten o'clock.
Ling Chuchu saw the woman washing diapers with her back to them when she entered the door.
Liu Fanghua's eyes flashed with surprise. The sun really rose from the west. The lazy daughter-in-law started to wash the baby's diapers by herself?
Normally, she was not so diligent and waited for her to come and wash.
Feng Juan heard the noise but didn't turn around.
"Si Ya, didn't I tell you not to take my job? Why did you come back?"
"Juan Zi, what are you talking about?"
Hearing the familiar voice, Feng Juan turned around immediately and saw that the people coming were not Si Ya, but her mother-in-law and sister-in-law. She was stunned for a while, "No, nothing."
Then she focused on Ling Chuchu's face, "This, this is Chuchu?"
"Sister-in-law, it's me."
When Feng Juan looked at Ling Chuchu, Ling Chuchu was also observing her.
Her sister-in-law looked bad and her face was sallow. She was only 30 years old, but she looked older than a 40-year-old woman.
Then, Feng Juan's eyes fell on Ling Chuchu's belly.
Ling Chuchu was sensitive to her gaze and subconsciously moved a little. The look in her sister-in-law's eyes clearly showed that she knew she was pregnant?
This couldn't be possible. She hadn't told her family about her pregnancy yet. There was only one possibility, that her sister-in-law was also a person who had traveled through the book like her.
But this was just her temporary guess. If she wanted to know whether she was also a person who had traveled through the book like herself, she had to continue observing.
Feng Juan chuckled and moved her gaze to her face.
"Chuchu, didn't you go to the countryside? Why did you come back suddenly?"
She remembered something from her last life this morning. If she remembered correctly, her sister-in-law was pregnant now.
In her previous life, among the sisters-in-law, Chuchu married the best. Unfortunately, Chuchu didn't know how to cherish her husband. She cheated on him and got divorced. Later, she heard that Chuchu's ex-husband died in an important mission.
What a pity for such a good man.
In fact, compared with Chuchu, her life in her previous life was a failure. She lived for half of her life and lived for her parents' family. As a result, she didn't forget to support her parents' family during her confinement. As long as her family said a few nice words to her and coaxed her, she would foolishly give all the fine food and meat coupons given to her by her mother-in-law to her parents' family. She didn't take good care of herself, but instead got sick. Even her only daughter didn't survive.
Later, she got sick, and her family felt that they could not get any benefit from her, so they even refused to let her in.
She asked her beloved fourth sister for help, but she was even more ruthless and refused to see her.
On the contrary, her husband would not leave her.
In this life, she could not let those extremely savage relatives from her family suck her blood.
So she just got tough and sent away her fourth sister who came to visit.
In this life, she would never let her only daughter die.
As long as there is enough milk, the child can be saved.
However, she is now in a bad condition, not to mention milk. She tried to feed her daughter in the morning, but she was too weak to suck. She tried to squeeze out the milk, but what came out was pus and blood.
How can she feed a child like this?
She still has to rely on her mother-in-law.
"I got the quota to return to the city, so I won't leave this time."
"Really? Are you sure you didn't take up someone else's quota to return to the city?" Feng Juan asked casually, but she regretted it as soon as she said it.
After Feng Juan said this, Ling Chuchu confirmed her previous guess that her sister-in-law was indeed a member of the book like herself.
It seems that I have to be careful in front of her in the future.
First of all, Liu Fanghua was unhappy after hearing this.
"Juanzi, what do you mean by this? What do you mean by occupying someone else's return quota? I tell you, our Chuchu got the return quota completely by relying on her own ability."
Hearing this, Feng Juan was shocked again.
Why is it different from what happened in the previous life?
She remembered very clearly that although Chuchu returned to the city late in the previous life, it was definitely not at this time, and she had heard people say in the previous life that Chuchu's return quota was taken from another girl.
Could it be that because she was reborn, some things changed?
"By the way, sister-in-law, I want to see my little niece first."
Ling Chuchu was afraid that the two would have an argument because of this, so she changed the topic in time.
Then, Ling Chuchu's eyes moved to the bed board next to her, where a child was wrapped in a small quilt.
The child was sleeping very soundly, skinny, and looked distressing.
At this time, Liu Fanghua had already prepared malted milk.
Feng Juan's eyes lit up when she smelled the fragrance of malted milk.
She looked at her mother-in-law eagerly.
With malted milk, her baby would be saved.
She asked quickly, "Mom, where did you get the malted milk?"
"Chuchu brought back a can, but I can't give it all to you."
This is something to keep the little granddaughter alive. If I give it to her, she will take it back to her parents' home sooner or later.
"Why?" Feng Juan asked puzzledly.
If I don't give it to her, what should I do if the baby is hungry at night and she has no milk?
Liu Fanghua rolled her eyes at her and said unhappily: "Give it to you, I'm afraid it won't go into my granddaughter's mouth."
Feng Juan opened her mouth, but couldn't say a word.
Yes, she did do some wrong things before, but now she has been reborn, and she will correct it from now on.
But others don't know that even this morning after she was reborn, she excitedly told her husband, but her husband didn't believe it and advised her to dream less.
She will prove it with her actions in the future, and she will never be the same as before.
Feng Juan took Ling Chuchu's hand and said gratefully: "Chuchu, sister-in-law thanks you."
"Sister-in-law, you don't have to be so polite to me."
Ling Chuchu naturally pulled out the hand she was holding.
Perhaps it was the scent of malted milk that woke up the little lady from her dream.
Liu Fanghua fed the baby with a small spoonful at a time, but she was afraid of scalding the baby, so she blew on it before putting it into the baby's mouth. The baby was smart, knowing that someone was feeding her, and she opened her mouth and waited for feeding after taking a bite.
That little look was really lovable.
Ling Chuchu liked it very much, and she wanted to hug him, but she didn't dare to.
The child was still weak and in a bad mental state, and fell asleep after drinking some.
Seeing this scene, Feng Juan couldn't help wiping tears.
She felt sorry for the baby.
The mother and daughter returned to Ling's house in the afternoon.
Ling Feifei had already returned home from school.
She pestered Liu Fanghua and insisted that she make clothes for her.
Ling Chuchu returned to her room.
It was not convenient for her, a person with a secret, to share a room with two sisters. She had to find a way to move out.
