Lian Xuan couldn't help but glance at the old lady next door and thought to herself that it would be great if she were her own grandmother.
What a discerning eye you have! It's not just her saying it, but the scent on her adoptive mother's body is truly indescribable.
I don't know how long it's been since I last took a bath, or maybe I just didn't have the conditions for it.
It's already so repulsive when her senses of hearing, sight and smell are not yet sensitive, let alone the stench that would be even more unbearable.
Although she was a bit disgusted with wiping her with diapers, under current circumstances, she couldn't afford to be finicky here.
Everything was unwilling to be suppressed, and temporarily got comforted.
But even Lian Xuan herself knew that her stomach was just temporarily appeased.
After waiting for a while, she still can't suck anything out and will be hungry and cry.
It wasn't until the second half of the night that it was probably the real beginning of despair for the mother and daughter.
Just as the mother and daughter were sighing over their own miserable experiences, the door of the ward was pushed open.
Seeing the newcomer, Li Hua was stunned...
"Sister Na? How did you come?"
The woman who walked over was in her twenties, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, slender figure, walking with the wind, obviously a straightforward person.
Li Hua's eyes suddenly turned red, and even her words came out with a tremble.
This is obviously exciting.
Come to think of it, I was still in despair there, and suddenly saw my own relatives, wouldn't I be excited?
From the few words exchanged between the two, Lian Xuan knew the identity of the newcomer.
Li Na is Li Hua's cousin, also her aunt.
She and her mother-in-law married into the same village, and their homes were especially close together.
Although she is a village girl, Li Na has one thing that surpasses her mother - her husband's family was carefully selected by her parents.
Not to mention being wealthy and noble, at least it's a family with benevolence and righteousness.
Unlike her poor mother, who was an orphan and was casually married off by her grandmother to a wealthy family.
Those days were spent in what was virtually... a living hell.
It turned out that yesterday Li Hua was pushed down by her sister-in-law for a whole month, and a group of people ran to the hospital carrying her, which was seen by everyone in their village.
At night, everyone went back, but only Li Hua and her mother were not seen. Even when asked, they didn't say a word, which made Li Na feel that something was wrong.
He quickly said hello to his mother-in-law and brought over the dishes.
It's said that some families are benevolent, but this father and daughter-in-law despise the mother and daughter for wasting food. However, these unrelated people can still afford to give them food.
She even remembered this kindness and would surely repay them well when she had the chance in the future.
This is the health clinic in town, it's not a big hospital, so it's not too far away.
Even so, Li Na was also panting slightly as she ran.
Seeing Li Hua's haggard appearance, she felt even more heartbroken.
"Haven't eaten yet, don't say anything else, come have some millet porridge first, fill up a bit!"
Li Hua looked at the golden millet porridge in her bowl, cooked to a fragrant and thick consistency. Such good food, she hadn't had it since her parents passed away.
Now it was her own cousin who had brought it several miles for her.
It's worth noting that such good food is usually eaten by the elderly and children at home, but my older cousin...
She wanted to refuse, but the child's hungry look made her feel heartbroken. She swallowed hard, but felt a sharp pain in her throat that made it difficult to swallow.
In the end, she lost control of her emotions and covered her face in tears.
Li Na knew what Li Hua was crying about and could only tightly hug her in her arms to comfort her.
"Alright, since we're family sisters, don't be polite. If you won't eat, the kids will, filling their bellies is what matters most, other things can wait!"
She hastily sat down beside him, opening another porcelain bowl and taking out the fragrant rice porridge oil that had just been cooked.
"Oh dear, my little darling, you're hungry too! Come on, come on, Auntie will feed you. It's too hot, let me blow it for you!"
Seeing Li Na had hers all ready, it was even more heartbreaking.
She turned sideways, tears falling down one by one, her whole body shaking with sobs.
