The unlucky guy was reborn as a lucky girl from a farm
Chapter 8 Auntie Visits
Ni'er was still young and was a little tired of doing needlework, so she took Niu Li out to play. When she saw a person who looked 60% like her father and was looking into the yard, she guessed that it was her aunt.
"Who are you looking for?"
When Niu Meiyu saw the wound on Ni'er's head, she knew that she was the person who had been brought back to life in the rumors.
"You are Ni'er, right? I am your aunt, Niu Meiyu."
It turned out to be just as I thought. I opened the door and let the person in.
In the past, the old lady would go to see Niu Meiyu when she was not too busy. This aunt whom she had never met would never come to her house on her own initiative. Every time the grandmother went there, she would carry a large package, and when she came back, only the baggage would be left.
I don't know what her purpose was in coming to my house this time.
Niu Meiyu went straight to the old lady's room. She hadn't seen her daughter for a long time and was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling. She directly called a few daughters-in-law and said, "Prepare dinner well. Let's eat earlier today. Meiyu has to go back. Shuanzi is young and can't leave his mother."
He took out a small piece of treasured bacon that was covered with green mold from the cupboard.
There was meat for dinner, which made the children, who hadn't seen meat for a long time, very happy.
I felt that my aunt was a fairy from heaven. Her clothes fit her well, her complexion was fair, and her hair was shiny black. She was completely different from the people I usually met.
Niu Jinshui and Niu Xiuli stared at their aunt's black hair with envy.
She rarely sees outsiders in normal times, so when her aunt came over, her grandmother's room was packed with people.
"Go, go back to your own room, or go out and play, don't cause trouble here."
The old lady chased the people out and the place became quiet instantly.
Xiao Ni's body hasn't fully recovered yet and she doesn't want to go out. Niu Li sees that Ni'er is not interested and stays in the house with her sister.
Niu Meiyu knew that this mission was arduous, but there was nothing she could do. She gritted her teeth and told him the situation in one go, "Mom, I want to borrow some food from you."
The old lady knew that her daughter must have something wrong when she came to visit, but she didn't expect her to ask for food directly. There are so many mouths to feed at home, and if she lends the food out, her grandchildren might go hungry for a while.
But after all, she was his most beloved daughter, so he lowered his voice and asked, "How much do you want?"
Unexpectedly, it was so smooth. Niu Meiyu knew her mother's character very well. She was very stingy when it came to food and money. However, it was only because of the status she had in her heart that she would definitely not lend him money if it happened again.
"Ten...ten pounds, mother. You know Shuanzi is still growing. He always says he is not full after meals and cries because of hunger."
"The adults in my family have been frugal, but they still ran out of food. I came here because I really had no other choice."
The old lady didn't react at all after hearing this, and just looked at Meiyu straight.
I originally thought that I could just ask my parents for some food so that I wouldn't have to pay it back, but given the current situation, I still have to say it. I gritted my teeth and said, "I'll make it up to you after the autumn harvest this year."
"Ten kilograms is a bit too much. It's enough for our whole family to eat for a day. It's not that I don't want to lend it to you, but if I lend it to you, your nephews will have to go hungry."
The old lady would not do business at a loss. Since Niu Meiyu had asked, she could not just return ten kilograms. There was still a long time before the autumn harvest, so how could she lend it to her without paying some interest?
"Then I'll return you 15 kilograms."
Niu Meiyu knew that her mother said this because she complained that there was no interest, so she had to agree on fifteen kilograms first.
The old lady was very satisfied with the result. "Did you bring the pocket?"
Niu Meiyu quickly took out a bag specially used for food from her pocket and handed it to the old lady, "Here, mother~"
Although the voice was lowered, Ni'er could still hear it clearly. Borrowing food at such a critical moment, and borrowing a whole day's rations at that, is not pushing people into a desperate situation.
Judging from the way she is dressed, she doesn't look like someone who is short of food. If she sells her clothes, she can exchange them for a lot of food.
I only know how to dress up and spend all my money, and now I have to borrow food from my already poor mother's family. Why do I always have such bad relatives?
Dad went to the mountain to collect firewood again, and my uncles were nowhere to be seen. If they were here, they might not have allowed my aunt to take the food away.
Smelling the aroma of rice and bacon wafting from the kitchen, Nier concluded that her aunt would definitely eat tonight.
Soon, the meal was ready. The children gathered at the kitchen door, staring at the bacon in the pot. The three daughters-in-law gathered around the stove, and no one dared to let their children steal a piece of meat.
The three of them quickly brought the meal to the table and invited everyone to eat together.
It happened that the eldest and second uncles came into the room. They were surprised and looked at each other. What happened to mother today? Why did she eat so early? Was this her last full meal? And there was bacon? How could they live in the future?
Thinking of this, I rushed into the house and said, "Mom~"
Niu Lao Da and Niu Lao Er were very surprised to see their sister, whom they hadn't seen for a long time, sitting on the kang, but this sudden visit made them suspicious, after all, no one would visit you for no reason.
"Sister, why did you think of coming to see your mother today?"
The eldest brother squatted in the corner skillfully. This was a skill he had learned since childhood. He would squat when there was no stool.
Meiyu thought that it was just ten kilograms of food, so it would be okay to let her brothers know. After all, her mother was in charge of the food at home, and they almost never asked how much was left at home. As long as her mother agreed, there was no problem.
"We are short of food at home. Can you lend me some food?" Meiyu's voice became smaller and smaller.
Niu Laoda and Niu Laoer thought that since their mother agreed, there must be no problem. Since the meal was ready, they invited Meiyu to eat with them.
The table is not big to begin with, and with one more person it seems even more crowded.
Ni'er was just thinking about going out to meet her father when he came back. There had been times before when he hadn't left any food for her, so this time she wasn't worried that her father would go hungry.
"Dad, the meal is ready, come and eat, aunt is here today."
I felt that today was different from usual, and the fact that my aunt was here explained it all.
Niu Laosan was naturally very happy to see his sister.
There were several adults sitting at the dining table. The children didn't want to go to the kitchen to eat, so they wanted to eat with their beautiful aunt. The whole family squeezed together, and the room seemed very cramped.
Each person had a bowl of corn porridge with bacon and wild vegetable and soybean flour pancakes, but today the porridge was made with oil from the fried bacon, making it particularly fragrant.
After finishing the meal, Nier licked her lips. When she saw her grandmother holding a bag and handing it to her aunt, she knew it was ten kilograms of food.
"Auntie, what's in that bag?"
I originally wanted to ask what was inside, but Niu Jinshui beat me to it. But it doesn’t matter, after all, children only speak without restraint.
Niu Meiyu didn't think much about it. "This is food. My aunt borrowed it from my grandmother."
Nier thought that this was her chance. "Aunt, your clothes are so beautiful. They must be very expensive. Can they be exchanged for a lot of food?"
Others just think of it as a piece of clothing that they are reluctant to wear on weekdays and only wear when going out to meet people.
