Chapter 41 Don’t Be Afraid of Gossip

Yun Qinghuan took the opportunity to quickly pick up a chopstick of meat and feed it to her mouth.

Before Liu Yuzhi could react, she subconsciously chewed the meat and swallowed it, her face full of satisfaction. When she reacted, she saw her daughter-in-law looking at her with a smile.

Even her son, who never showed his emotions on his face, raised the corners of his lips at this moment, and even his eyes were full of smiles.

You know, although Bai Naihan usually looks warm and has a good temper, in fact, his true emotions are rarely observed from his expression.

"Mom, is it delicious?" Yun Qinghuan pushed the plate towards her, "You have to be responsible for finishing all of this tonight, otherwise I will be angry."

She also pretended to be particularly angry. Liu Yuzhi held back the tears that were about to cry, and couldn't help but be amused by her.

She found that her daughter-in-law seemed to be slowly getting out of the emotion of her son's death, and became more cheerful than before, which was a good thing.

Yun Qinghuan and Bai Naihan were not very hungry. They felt full after drinking the porridge. As for Bai Jinan, the little guy insisted on eating the remaining half of the bun. After eating, he rubbed his round belly and sighed with satisfaction, "It would be great if I could eat like this every day."

In An'an's eyes, it feels that being full and satisfied every day is the greatest happiness.

Liu Yuzhi next to her couldn't help but pour cold water on her grandson, "If we eat like this every day, I'm afraid our family won't last more than five days, and we will be hungry every day in the future."

She was actually very satisfied with the food. She didn't know how many years she hadn't eaten such good food, and she ate very full.

Later, she broke off half a bun and wanted to give it to her daughter-in-law, but her daughter-in-law didn't want it and insisted that she finish it all. She was moved and blamed herself.

The daughter-in-law suffered a lot when she married into their family. She didn't have many good meals. She also wanted to live like this every day, but the reality was in front of them. They were lucky to have something to eat every day.

Today, she also heard from Grandma Chen and others that a family at the entrance of the village had almost eaten up all the remaining food. Now they only eat one meal a day, but they are still not full. The whole family picks wild vegetables to fill their stomachs.

Fortunately, it is the end of April now, and many wild vegetables have emerged. Although life is difficult, they will not starve to death.

When Bai Jinan heard his grandmother say this, he also thought of the scene of hunger. There were children in the village who were so hungry that they were skin and bones, and they all fainted. Thinking of this, he quickly shook his head, "Forget it, Grandma, I don't want to eat meat buns every day. An An just needs to fill his stomach every day."

Yun Qinghuan listened to the conversation between the two of them, and felt sour in her heart. In the future, she also filled her stomach when she was the most miserable, but she might not have eaten so well, but at that time she already felt that her life was very difficult.

After all, there are many people around her who eat well and dress well. In comparison, she is much inferior. As a result, the competition between people is getting bigger and bigger, and it is getting more and more competitive.

After eating, people also begin to pursue a higher level of life.

Unlike this era, for An An, Bai Naihan and Liu Yuzhi at this moment, being able to eat a full stomach every day is the greatest happiness.

In later generations, many people joked that everyone asked "Have you eaten?" when they met because they were afraid of hunger in this era.

I didn't feel it at the time, but now I feel sad after really experiencing it.

She tried to raise the corners of her mouth and pretended to be relaxed, "Don't be so pessimistic, maybe our family's life will suddenly get better, and then we can eat white bread every day."

She felt that she had to write articles well to make money and improve the family's life.

After saying this, I don't know if Liu Yuzhi and An An believed it. Both of them looked at her. The younger one didn't say anything, and the older one paused, and still said, "I hope there will be this day."

Liu Yuzhi's eyes were suddenly filled with the frost of the years.

Yun Qinghuan was silent too, feeling that no matter how many words he said, it would seem powerless. He still had to make achievements and use real money to say these words to be convincing.

Next to him, Bai Naihan had not spoken all the time, staring at his legs in a daze.

In the evening, Liu Yuzhi knew that Bai Naihan bought her a pair of leather shoes, and her mood was finally much better. She also praised Bai Naihan for his good work, saying that this pair of leather shoes suited her daughter-in-law and looked good in her.

Knowing that this pair of shoes cost fifteen yuan, she felt distressed, but she was more happy. She also asked Yun Qinghuan to wear them more when she was free, and not to be afraid of gossip. Her daughter-in-law should dress up beautifully, so that others would not think that Yun Qinghuan would be sad and miserable after becoming a widow, and that she would introduce all kinds of ugly men to her.

Hearing Liu Yuzhi say this, Yun Qinghuan immediately sensed that someone must have said something about her in front of Liu Yuzhi. She asked a few questions, but Liu Yuzhi kept her mouth shut and was avoided by her.

Yun Qinghuan knew that Liu Yuzhi was doing this for her own good. After all, the words of the group of people outside were very unpleasant.

Since she didn't want to say it, Yun Qinghuan didn't ask any more questions.

But she didn't wear leather shoes to hang around like she said. After all, the roads in the countryside are all dirt roads, and it's inconvenient to walk or work in leather shoes.

After another day of rest, Yun Qinghuan felt that it was enough, so he thought about going out to accompany Liu Yuzhi to the fields and do some light work. He didn't ask for many work points, but at least he could feed himself and reduce Liu Yuzhi's burden.

At first, Liu Yuzhi said she would not agree to it, thinking that she was too delicate to do such hard work, and that she would suffer if she got tanned in the end.

Yun Qinghuan persuaded her and she finally agreed, but she said she would ask first and tell her when there was a suitable job.

Yun Qinghuan knew that she wanted to find an easier job for herself, fearing that she could not do it.

She did not refuse, after all, she knew her own limitations, and she could not do heavy work with her small arms and legs.

Some easier farm work had already been done by others, so how could it be so easy for someone to replace them?

She rested at home for several days in a row, and did nothing else except cooking. Liu Yuzhi did not let her wash clothes, and gave them all to Bai Naihan.

As for other housework, Bai Naihan did it well, and it was not Yun Qinghuan's turn to do it at all.

Knowing that she could not persuade Liu Yuzhi, she always washed her own underwear before daring to leave the rest of the dirty clothes to Bai Naihan.

Liu Yuzhi knew that she was particular, so she didn't say anything.

Every time Yun Qinghuan saw the man sitting in a wheelchair rubbing the clothes in the basin with his hands, he felt guilty. He could only try his best to cook better meals to nourish him, the child and Liu Yuzhi.

On the one hand, he was anxiously waiting for the postman to deliver the letter to her, wanting to see if the manuscript he wrote was accepted, but there was no news for several days.

Fortunately, Liu Yuzhi came back with a basket on her back, with a happy face, just as she finished cooking on this day.

Yun Qinghuan was happy, knowing that she had found a job for herself.
