Chapter 18: Not Hungry
If it was a few years ago, Niu Jinling would not dare to say this.
But these two years are bumper harvest years, Niu Jinling's family has a lot of land in the village, and several sons are also capable, and there is no shortage of food in the past two years, so Niu Jinling has confidence in what she said.
Li Yao held the two wild apricots in his hand, his eyes were astringent.
The mother-in-law in front of her cared about her without any purpose, which made Li Yao's sense of rejection of this world a little less after coming here, and her heart, which had been restless since she woke up, also rose with a sense of warmth.
"I see, thank you, Grandma Xiaowu." Li Yao looked at Niu Jinling and said.
Niu Jinling looked at Li Yao's well-behaved and cute little eyes, her heart melted, and in an instant, her mother's love overflowed, and she even had the urge to take Li Yao home to raise her.
What a beautiful and lovely girl, it's just too small, if she raises her, she will definitely be able to raise Erni into that beautiful girl.
Niu Erni's parents don't know what to think, such a beautiful and well-behaved girl is abused every day, it's really a sin.
"Look at how sensible we are, if I have a granddaughter like you, I will have to wake up laughing in my dreams." Niu Jinling caught Li Yao is a compliment.
……
Finally sent away Grandma Xiao Wu, who was overflowing with maternal love, Li Yao looked at Lu Xiaolan who was standing in the yard again.
Lu Xiaolan had just been slapped and scolded by her mother-in-law, and her tears were not collected at this time, and she was standing aside and secretly wiping her tears.
"Third aunt, are you okay?" Li Yao stepped forward with a wooden basin and pulled Lu Xiaolan's clothes.
Lu Xiaolan quickly wiped her tears, then shook her head at Li Yao, pulled the corners of her mouth and said sullenly, "It's okay." ”
After speaking, Lu Xiaolan glanced at Li Yao's wooden basin, and said, "Erni, you are still injured, put the third aunt here with this clothes, and the third aunt will also wash the clothes in a while, and I will help you wash them by the way." ”
"No need, third aunt, I can wash it." Li Yao shook her head, looked at Lu Xiaolan and said seriously, "Thank you, third aunt." ”
When she has the ability, she must help the third aunt redeem her deed of sale, so that the third aunt has a chance to get out of this fire pit-like home.
Li Yao's serious thank-you appearance made Lu Xiaolan stunned for a moment, and then a burst of sadness surged in her heart.
Even a seven-year-old child knows how to be grateful, but no matter how much she does for this family, she can't get a trace of respect from her mother-in-law and men.
Thinking so, Lu Xiaolan lowered her head a little weakly.
Her parents had sold her, and she was now a slave, a pariah, and she should have no more extravagant hopes.
Seeing that Lu Xiaolan didn't speak, Li Yao pursed her lips and stuffed the wild apricots that Niu Jinling gave her before into Lu Xiaolan's hands.
Lu Xiaolan's treatment in this family is worse than Niu Erni's, and she can't count on Niu Guihua's old woman to feed her, so Lu Xiaolan must be hungry too.
There was still a lot of food left on the table, but Li Yao knew that if Lu Xiaolan ate something from Niu Osmanthus, it would be indispensable to be beaten and scolded for a while, so it was better to save that trouble.
Lu Xiaolan had two more fruits in her hand, looked at Li Yao with some surprise, and then sent the wild apricots back.
"Erni, you eat, the third aunt is not hungry."
Li Yao didn't answer, she looked at Lu Xiaolan and said, "Third aunt, I actually ate it in the morning." You cushion your stomach with these two fruits, your body is your own, you don't worry about your body, who else do you expect to worry? ”
How can you not be hungry? Lu Xiaolan's face looked malnourished, her body was as thin as a bamboo pole, and she didn't know how long it had been since she had eaten a full meal.
Lu Xiaolan's eyes were astringent, and tears were about to pour out again.
She sniffed, then said, "Then let's take one by one." ”
After speaking, Lu Xiaolan stuffed another fruit into Li Yao's hand.
Li Yao was full of black lines.
This wild apricot is already small, even if you eat ten or eight, you can't stop hunger, just these two are still pushing around, it seems that Lu Xiaolan can eat very few things on weekdays.
