EBE Chapter 160 Wait a moment
Chapter 160 Wait a moment
She was extremely embarrassed when she heard what her two aunts said.
But she didn't dare to retort, nor did she dare to look at Gu Wan's reaction. She just hugged the child tightly in her arms and slowly prepared to leave.
"Wait a moment." Gu Wan stopped the man.
The two aunts who were still sneering at this looked at each other and advised:
"Gu Zhiqing, please don't meddle in other people's business. The Xiong family is now a rat crossing the street, and everyone wants to kill them. Don't let them get close to you or they will drug you again."
Gu Wan glanced at Xiong Mei who was holding someone in front of her, then turned to the two aunts and nodded, "Thank you for reminding me, I'm alone now. I have to rely on myself for everything in the countryside. How can I help others?"
"That's right." The hope in Xiong Mei's eyes gradually died out. She hugged the child tightly in her arms, bit her lip, and prepared to leave the village.
She had to leave quickly because her in-laws said that if she didn't leave, her child would be beaten to death.
She couldn't let her children get hurt.
"Sister-in-law, please wait a moment. Although I don't have much, I still have a bowl of water. I see that the child can't do it anymore. Please wait here for a moment. I will go and get you a bowl of water."
The aunt standing behind also saw the child in her arms, and looked a little reluctant. Indeed, what does the sin committed by adults have to do with the child?
They sighed, shook their heads and said nothing more.
They turned around and left together.
"Sister-in-law, come with me into the house and sit for a while. It's too sunny outside. Adults can bear it, but children can't stand it."
Xiong Mei didn't expect that Gu Wan would actually invite her to her home, and tears welled up on her face.
"No, no, just trouble Gu Zhiqing to pour me a glass of water. I won't go in, so as not to bring bad reputation to you."
Gu Wan sighed, didn't force it anymore, turned and went into the house, and soon came out with two bowls of water.
"Come on, sister-in-law, give the child some water first, and drink some yourself. It's not cold water, but warm water. It's better not to drink cold water in your condition."
Xiong Mei looked at the bowl of water and swallowed her saliva.
I didn’t think about why I couldn’t drink cold water. As long as I had a sip of water, it was enough.
Xiong Mei first picked up the bowl and drank the water, then picked up another bowl of water, took a sip herself, and then fed the remaining half bowl of water to the child.
The child was obviously not very good at doing it and drank very quickly.
After a while, the water was finished. Gu Wan took the bowl and put it aside. Then, she took it out and put it aside. She handed the bundle made of the mosquito net that was previously full of pudding to Xiong Mei:
"Sister-in-law, I've heard about your family's situation, but I can't help much. My life is a mess, so I can't help you with anything else.
Here are some sweet potatoes and half a can of malted milk that the medical team gave me. You can give it to the child.
I put five dollars in it, take it, you have to earn your living, you are so capable, as long as you are willing, you can always find a way to make a living, if it really doesn't work, just take this money and live in another place."
Communications are not well developed nowadays, and since Shibi Village and Muli'ao are adjacent, they know it so clearly.
In fact, if you go further away, others will not know anything about your family's affairs and will not investigate.
Xiong Mei stared at Gu Wan with wide eyes, her lips trembling, not knowing what to say.
These days, even though she was not the one who made the mistake, everyone avoided her like the plague and even insulted and made things difficult for her.
She didn't expect that Gu Wan, whom she had just met, was willing to show kindness to her.
"Gu Zhiqing, Gu Zhiqing, take the money back. Take it back. I can't take your money."
"Sister-in-law, take it. I get a subsidy every month in the village. Don't worry, you won't starve to death. But I don't have much to help you with. I hope you will get better and better in the future."
Gu Wan stuffed the thing into her arms. When the child saw it, she quickly reached out to hug it. Seeing this, Xiong Mei started to cry.
She stood up, holding the child, and bowed deeply to Gu Wan.
"Thank you, Gu Zhiqing. Thank you. I will definitely find a way to live well. If I have the chance, I will come back to find you and return the money to you."
Gu Wan accepted her salute and waved at her with a smile.
Xiong Mei also knew what was right and wrong. If she stayed here for too long and was seen by the villagers, it would affect Gu Wan's reputation.
After waving at Gu Wan, he took his things and left.
She has to live and live well. She is so capable, it doesn't make sense that she can't be capable if she moves to another place?
When Gu Wan saw that everyone had left, she turned around, took the bowl into the house and closed the door. However, she didn't know that this scene had been seen by many people in the village.
The news spread throughout the village that day, but Gu Wan didn't know about it.
She had a lot to do today. Although she was not very good at cooking, she still had to put rice, flour and other things in the kitchen.
Otherwise, if someone came to the house that day and found the kitchen empty, it would be really unreasonable.
After watering all the vegetables at home, I watered the rhododendrons that I transplanted earlier, and it was almost time for dinner.
I’m a little uncomfortable with how quiet my house has suddenly become in the past two days, but luckily I still have two little rabbits and a little hedgehog to keep me company.
Yesterday, Gu Wan went to Wu the bamboo craftsman and asked him to help make two new cages, one for the rabbit and one for the hedgehog.
Rabbits are easy to raise and will eat any kind of leaves, but Gu Wan was a little confused about what hedgehogs eat.
I plan to wait until tomorrow to ask someone, otherwise it would be a shame if it died.
For dinner, we had a bowl of instant noodles made directly from the thermos, without even having to light a fire.
After dinner, Gu Wan checked the doors and windows to see if there was anything wrong with them, and went to bed early.
The next day, Gu Wan woke up before the bell rang for work, but the sky was still dark and windy, and it looked like it was going to rain.
Gu Wan decided to have some porridge in the morning. After all, porridge tastes better when eaten with salted duck eggs or fermented bean curd.
Thinking of these two things, Gu Wan felt a little excited. She wanted to ask the hedgehog what it wanted to eat, but she didn’t know who to ask.
She knew very few people in the village. After drinking the porridge, she watered the vegetable plots, tidied up, put two handfuls of peanuts in her pockets, and prepared to go to the women's director's house.
Although she is not familiar with the villagers, if she has any problems, she can always go to the women's director.
The villagers must have all gone to work at this time, but as far as she knew, the women's director's family was well off, and her son and daughter-in-law were filial to her.
So she only needs to take care of the elderly and children at home and does not need to go out to work.
