Dressed Like a Cute Little Lucky Bag Chapter 221

Chapter 221 Surrounded by Wolves 1

  Fortunately, Ma Xiu Lian, the mother-in-law, was a tolerant person and never scolded her daughter for not being able to give birth to a son.

  If it were someone else, I'm afraid it wouldn't be so easy.

  "Our Chen family is blessed with great fortune."

  Thinking of her beloved baby, the corners of Ma Xiu Lian's eyes softened, and her originally harsh face also became somewhat kind.

  Seeing that she was easy to talk to, Zhao's mother pinched the corner of her washed-white clothes and said awkwardly, "Mother-in-law, I came here mainly to discuss something with you."

  "What's the matter?" Ma Xiu Lian asked, pretending to be ignorant.

  At this time, the relatives who came to visit could only borrow food. What else could they do?

  Mother Zhao looked at her and opened her mouth for a long time. She swallowed the words that were originally in her throat. She shook her head and said, "It's okay, it's okay."

  Ma Xiu Lian smiled and said, "Since my mother-in-law is here, why don't you stay here and have lunch before leaving? You talk to the eldest son's wife, and I'll go to the kitchen to light the fire and cook."

  As soon as her mother-in-law left, Zhao Mei quickly pulled her mother into her room, closed the door, and asked worriedly, "Mom, are you here to borrow grain this time?"

  Mother Zhao nodded and said, "I know that every household doesn't have enough food, but I really have no other choice."

  She is an honest and thin-skinned person, but she has a very good temper and has no deterrent power at home. When forced by her daughters-in-law, she has no choice but to visit them shamelessly.

  In fact, their commune's harvest this year is not too bad, and eating half full should not be a problem, but they are worried that there will be some problems with the autumn harvest.

  Zhao Mei held Zhao's mother's hand and comforted her, "I'll ask my mother-in-law to see if she can spare some money."

  Although she said this, she was sighing in her heart. Her mother-in-law had already warned them that they probably couldn't borrow the food.

  But she couldn't just watch her family starve and do nothing!

  After saying this, Zhao Mei was about to get up and go to her mother-in-law to beg for mercy, but was stopped by her mother-in-law: "Forget it, food is too precious. Let's wait and see the autumn harvest. I'll go back first. You... work harder and try to give birth to a son as soon as possible." Compared to food, she was more worried about her daughter who had been married to the Chen family for ten years and still had no son.

  Hearing this, Zhao Mei's eyes instantly turned red: "I also want to have a son, but I just can't!"

  Zhao's mother comforted her for a long time, and even thought about secretly going to pray to Guanyin, the goddess of fertility, for her daughter.

  She was too embarrassed to stay for lunch, so she left secretly.

  Zhao Mei sent her mother off and went to the kitchen to help her mother-in-law make lunch: "Mom, my mom is gone."

  Ma Xiu Lian sighed and said, "Why did you leave? I have already cooked the bacon."

  "mom……"

  Zhao's mother opened her mouth but couldn't say that her parents wanted to borrow food.

  Just as we were eating, the topic of borrowing food from the commune started to be discussed at the table.

  "This year is really difficult. Families with few workers can't even fill their stomachs, and now they have to ask for food from others everywhere."

  "I think the families with more labor are the ones who are suffering. Look at the communes down there. The grain harvest is not good, but there are too many people to feed at home."

  "I thought this year would be a good year, but I never expected such an unexpected event!"

  Zhao Mei felt even more upset after hearing this, so she looked at her mother-in-law. Just as she was about to speak, Ma Xiu Lian said, "No matter what happens to other families, we will definitely not lend our grain to them! We can't open the door to borrowing grain, otherwise if there is one, there will be a second one. Besides, our family's grain is barely enough for the whole family to eat.

  The Zhang family at the east end of the village lent food to a relative. Later, many other relatives came to borrow food from them, and in the end they had no choice but to lend out a lot of food.
