Abandoning my husband and son, I raised my six daughters to live happily

Chapter 720 Borrowing grain to deliver meals to villagers

She saw Uncle Zhang Peng lying on the kang, and Jiang Lingling sitting aside and dozing off.

At this time, the door made a "creak" sound.

Jiang Lingling was awakened by the sound of her opening the door. After seeing her, a tired smile appeared on her face.

"Sister, are you awake? I've heated up the leftover food we had yesterday and it's ready to eat at any time."

Meng Suisui smiled sheepishly at Jiang Lingling, "Sorry, I woke you up.".

"It's okay, I shouldn't have slept in the first place."

"Look at how long you've endured. The dark circles under your eyes are so big. Didn't I ask you to wake me up in the middle of the night?"

"You thought we were tired enough. I didn't call you if there was anything serious going on here with Third Uncle."

Nothing big happened. Could it be that something small happened?

Meng Suisui asked.

"How was your third uncle last night?"

"Uncle San is fine, but he developed a fever in the middle of the night. I wiped him with alcohol and took care of him for half a night, and the temperature dropped."

Meng Suisui nodded and said she understood.

She looked towards the man lying quietly.

At this time, he was covered with a quilt, his shoulders were exposed, and he looked like he was shirtless.

Jiang Lingling should have taken it off when she was wiping him to cool down.

She put the quilt to the man's forehead and tested the temperature.

He said to himself.

"It's not hot anymore, and his complexion looks much better than before. You took good care of your third uncle, thank you for staying up all night."

Jiang Lingling curled her lips and said tiredly, "It's not hard. As long as Third Uncle is good, I'll be happy to do whatever he asks me to do. And compared with those people clearing snow outside, I'm much happier than them. At least I'm not cold."

This girl is so kind.

Meng Suisui curled her lips and advised, "Go and get some sleep. I'll watch him here."

Jiang Lingling shook her head, "No, I won't sleep since it's already dawn."

She moved her body to get off the ground and said, "Sister, I'm going to bring the food. Let's eat first?"

Meng Suisui glanced outside and sighed secretly.

"Okay, let's eat first. We don't know when they will come back. They must be hungry after working all night."

As soon as she finished speaking, she was keenly aware of a hint of melancholy in Jiang Lingling's eyes.

Then, she heard Jiang Lingling say.

"Yes, they must be hungry and tired now. Unfortunately, my food is about to run out, and there is not enough food for so many people. I can't even make porridge. It's really not possible. I will go to other people's houses to collect food and cook some porridge for everyone. Go, after all, they are all helping my third uncle’s family, we can’t let them work hungry.”

Seeing Jiang Lingling's embarrassed look, Meng Suisui knew that it would be very difficult for this newly married young daughter-in-law to risk her face and borrow food from a group of villagers with whom she was not very familiar.

But the accident happened so suddenly, everyone else had gone to work, and she was the only one left at home. Now she could only bear the burden.

Jiang Lingling looked worried and frowned as she asked.

"Sister, you said that almost all the people in the village who can work have gone to help. How much food do I need to borrow to make porridge for them?"

Jiang Lingling didn't wait for Meng Suisui to answer, then continued.

"Sister, what do you think I should do if someone doesn't want to lend it to me? What if other people don't have that much extra food at home? Oh, it's too difficult."

Why are you crying while talking?

The scene before him proved that it was true that a penny could stump a heroic man, and now Jiang Lingling was stumped by a bag of rice.

Meng Suisui lowered her eyes, and an idea suddenly came to her mind.

"Lingling, don't worry, I have something I haven't had time to tell you yet."

What's going on?

Isn't it about their work?

Don’t want to help them arrange work?

Jiang Lingling's heart skipped a beat. She stood firm on the edge of the kang and calmed her mind.

"It's okay, sister, just say whatever you want, I can handle it."

"Why did your face look so bad all of a sudden?"

Meng Suisui was a little worried about Jiang Lingling's condition. She felt that Jiang Lingling was tired to a certain point and might collapse at any time.

Jiang Lingling shook her head and said, "Sister, I'm fine. If you have anything to say, just say it."

"I can't live in your house for nothing. I originally wanted to give you the rice before I leave. Now that you are in a special situation and you are short of rice for cooking, I thought of giving you the rice first."

It turned out that Meng Suisui didn't want to arrange work for them.

That's good, that's good.

Jiang Lingling subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief. The next step, her eyes suddenly widened.

He asked with a look of disbelief.

"What? Sister, what did you just say? Do you want to give me rice?"

Meng Suisui was as calm as ever, she nodded with a gentle smile.

"Yes, to express my gratitude, I am going to give the three bags of rice in the car to you and Zhang Peng."

Three bags of rice.

Those are three bags of rice!

In all her life, she has never seen anyone buy three bags of rice together. All she has seen are people buying rice by the pound.

Jiang Lingling thought she was dreaming. She twisted her arm and realized it hurt.

He said with surprise.

"Oh my god, sister, did I hear you right? If you stay at my house for one night, you will give me three bags of rice!"

Meng Suisui was amused by her behavior, she nodded and said.

"You heard that right. After dinner, we will go to the car to take out the rice, cook it into porridge and send it to them."

Before she finished speaking, Jiang Lingling held her hand and was so excited that she wanted to kneel down and kowtow to her.

"Sister, thank you so much. You are a living bodhisattva who saves the suffering. But the rice is too valuable and we can't collect it. All the rice used to make porridge is considered a loan from you. I will pay it back when Zhang Peng and I make money. you."

Meng Suisui shook her head, patted Jiang Lingling's hand and said.

"I said it was for you, and I meant it for you. We are all mutual. If you are good to me, I also want to repay your kindness within my ability. We are friends, so don't be polite to me anymore. ."

"No, three bags of rice is too much. We haven't done anything, so how can we accept so much from you?"

Seeing Jiang Lingling insisting on borrowing it, Meng Suisui said helplessly.

"If you don't take me in, I might freeze to death. Three bags of rice are nothing to me. Just take it and don't feel any pressure. I am willing to give it to you, which shows that you and Zhang Peng are worthy of what I give you." thing."

"But......"

Seeing that Jiang Lingling still wanted to refuse, Meng Suisui interrupted her in time.

"Okay, this is settled. Let's eat first, and I'll make porridge with you later. If you refuse me, I'll be angry."

She deliberately spoke with a straight face.

Jiang Lingling curled her lips and cried, then hugged Meng Suisui tightly.

"Sister, you are so kind. From now on, you will be my and Zhang Peng's biological sister. When our lives get better, we will repay you well."
