There is Room For Abandoned Women In the 1980s

Chapter 41: Please

From the corner of his eyes, Li Xiuqin saw her mother-in-law raise her lips in satisfaction, and felt relieved. She was almost driven away by the man last night. She finally knew that this little girl in the family was a treasure that she could not talk about or touch. She could only hold her and coax her.

 “I can eat the same as everyone else.”

Zheng Xinyue doesn’t want to eat Xiaozao anymore. As time goes by, her sister-in-law and eldest brother will definitely have objections. Just like last night, didn’t her sister-in-law make her cry all day long? It would be better for her to be more conscious.

"How can that be done? You are not in good health. Look how thin you have become. The boss and his wife will boil two eggs for Xinyue."

Gao Guilan immediately stared, coaxing her daughter and ordering her daughter-in-law.

“Xinyue! Tell mom, don’t you like corn and wild vegetable porridge? You still have some white flour at home. Can mom make gnocchi for you?”

When talking to my daughter-in-law, I use a loud commanding voice. When talking to my own daughter, I use a gentle coaxing voice, for fear that the loud voice will frighten Xinyue again.

 “No need, wild vegetable porridge is delicious and nutritious.”

Zheng Xinyue waved her hands hurriedly. She didn’t want to eat here by herself. The five children looked at her pitifully.

 Besides, in this era, wild vegetables were eaten by the poor, but in my own time, only the rich could afford them!

Li Xiuli came over there with a basin of warm water and said to Zheng Xinyue with a smile:

“Little sister, my sister-in-law gave you warm water. Do you want to add some hot water?”

Gao Guilan glanced at her daughter-in-law with satisfaction, she was doing well.

The smile on Li Xiuli's face is a bit more genuine. When she pleases her sister-in-law and her mother-in-law, she won't curse and can also give her a smile.

 “The water temperature is just right, thank you sister-in-law.”

Zheng Xinyue hurriedly took the basin. She felt like the eldest daughter of a capitalist, and her two sisters-in-law were maids!

Zheng Xinyue had just washed her face when she heard the excited voice of her third brother.

“Little sister, look what did you do to third brother?”

As soon as the voice fell, people entered the house. Zheng Chengbao was holding a fat and silly roe deer in his hand, smiling brightly, not even noticing the eyebrows.

“I, Xinyue, am a lucky star! These roe deer are running deep in the mountains, and few people in the village have caught them. When Xinyue comes back, they can eat both pheasants and roe deer.”

Gao Guilan was so happy that a roe deer weighed dozens of pounds! Pickled with salt, you can eat it until the Chinese New Year, and the roe deer skin can be exchanged for money at the supply and marketing cooperative!

 “Yes, my little sister is so lucky.”

Li Xiuqin’s eyes widened. She didn’t get to eat yesterday’s chicken, but for such a big roe deer, how many pieces of meat would she get?

 Looking at the raw roe deer, I wish I could cook it now and have a happy meal.

“Third brother, hurry up and remove the skin and flesh. You have done a good job today and you don’t have to work in the team anymore.”

Gao Guilan smiled from ear to ear and waved her hand in favor to her third son.

Li Xiuli and Li Xiuqin looked at each other with confusion in their eyes. Could it be that my sister-in-law is really a lucky star?

Li Xiuqin thought: "If my sister-in-law marries Zhang Hongbin, he can go to work in a state-owned factory. In the past, the Zhang family could not even afford food. If I marry my sister-in-law, they will have good food and clothing. If Xinyue leaves, Zhang Hongbin will be sentenced and his house will collapse." Could it be that Xinyue really brought blessings to her family?"

 Li Xiuli and her cousin had the same idea: "My sister-in-law came back yesterday, and the third brother caught a pheasant. Today we will have better roe deer meat to eat. Xinyue is lucky to have her at home, and the days will definitely get better and better."

These two people were brainwashed by their mother-in-law. They looked at Zheng Xinyue with rare enthusiasm. They could eat meat every day. Thinking about such a good life makes them excited.

Zheng Xinyue was stunned by the passionate gazes of her two sisters-in-law. Why did she feel like she was a rare animal? They both wanted to take her away?
