Sister Han is good at farming

"You're welcome. It's my honor!" Madam Yan said softly, "We also made some money because of the ideas you provided. Our two families owe nothing to each other. Take good care of your family. If you have any difficulties, you can come to the north of the village to find me."

"Ruan Qingqing will always remember Aunt Yan's great kindness today!" Ruan Qingqing bowed to her.

Madam Yan nodded and left.

"Why is Madam Yan here? Wow! She is truly a god-like figure. The skin on her face is so white! Like an eggshell." Li, who came over after hearing the news, looked at Madam Yan's figure with fluttering sleeves gradually going away, and could not help smacking her lips.

Old Mrs. Ruan coughed heavily, "Old Third, go back and pick up a basket of eggs!"

"Mom, how is my fourth brother's wife? Has she been rescued?"

Li remembered the reason why she came here and asked hurriedly.

"He was saved, but his health is very weak. Doctor Li said he needs to be taken good care of, otherwise his life span will be shortened. And there are two little ones. I don't know if they will have milk to drink?" Old Mrs. Ruan was so worried that the wrinkles on her forehead deepened several inches.

"How can it affect your life span? Don't worry, mother. I will go home to get some eggs and then give them to your fourth brother's wife. She will naturally produce milk." Li didn't care about the gossip at this moment. She picked up her skirt and rushed home.

Ruan Qingqing was also worried, but at this moment, she had to solve the problem in front of her. After paying the silver that was not yet warm to Doctor Li, she asked Old Man Xue to help send Doctor Li back to town. Fortunately, her gambling father did not take the silver, otherwise she would not be able to pay for the ox cart.

When she returned home, Mrs. Liu had already prepared dinner for her.

"Qingqing, eat something first! You are exhausted today."

"Thank you, aunt!" Ruan Qingqing was really hungry at the moment.

"Daya, I..."

Ruan Qingqing, who was eating, slammed her chopsticks on the table when she heard Ruan Wantie's voice, "Get out! Stay away from me before I lose my mind!"

After yelling, Ruan Qingqing sat down again with a gloomy face, trying hard to put rice into her mouth. After a mouthful of rice, she chewed it in big mouthfuls, and then swallowed it in big mouthfuls. After a while, she choked like a big white goose, and her neck kept stretching and retracting.

"Slow down, slow down. Qingqing, don't torture yourself even if you're angry!" Liu kept trying to comfort her. "Eat your food one bite at a time, and do things one by one. Don't be impatient!"

No hurry, yes! No hurry!

Wasn't it because I was too anxious before?

I always thought that my gambling father would stop gambling if he was scared by me. I always thought that as long as I could feed and clothe everyone, things would turn out well. But what was the result?

My father is a gambler who still wants to gamble. My mother is in a very bad condition and needs to be taken good care of, otherwise her life span will be shortened. My two newborn brothers and sisters need to be taken care of carefully, otherwise they may die young.

The situation is worse than before.

But I can't just sit there and do nothing. Not to mention anything else, there are three lives in front of me. If I'm not careful, they will be gone.

Gone!

Is she angry?

I am so angry! If the gambling father had not pushed my mother, my younger siblings would not have been born prematurely, and this family would have had a chance to breathe.

Do you hate it?

She hated it so much! If her gambling father hadn't gambled, she wouldn't have taken over this hellish mess.

But hatred and anger alone cannot solve the problem at hand.

Life has to go on, the family has to survive, and they have to live together.

"Wow!"

Ruan Qingqing had just finished a bowl of rice when she heard the crying of twins in the room.

"Old man, is there any rice soup on the stove? Your fourth brother's wife has no milk, so feed them with rice soup for the time being." Old Mrs. Ruan came out of the room and gave the order.

"Yes, mother, I'll get it right away."

"Aunt, you eat, I'll come over!" Ruan Qingqing put down her bowl and chopsticks and walked out.

"Daya..." As soon as Ruan Qingqing walked out of the main room, she was stopped by Ruan Wantie who was standing in the yard.

"Daya, I didn't push your mother on purpose. I heard recently that someone won 100 taels of silver from the gambling house, and more than one. Haven't I been having trouble finding a temporary job recently? I thought I didn't want 100 taels, and I would stop when I won 10 taels. With these taels of silver, you wouldn't have to work so hard to open up the wasteland, and the family would have enough food and supplies. As for your mother, I didn't push her hard either."

Ruan Wantie squatted against the wall and scratched his hair in pain. "I didn't expect things to turn out like this!"

Ruan Qingqing paused, but ignored him and continued to walk into the kitchen, brought out warm rice soup and fed it to the newborn siblings.

"It's not a big deal to drink this rice soup, Qingqing! Your third uncle's wife Jiashui at the east end of the village just gave birth to a big fat boy last month. Tomorrow, you can take some eggs over and see if you can bring back some milk." Old Mrs. Ruan suggested.

"Grandma, I remember it!"

The next day, after tidying up the house, Ruan Qingqing took a dozen eggs sent by Old Lady Ruan to Sister Jiashui's house. When she asked if she had extra milk, she was kicked out by Third Grandma.

"Our eldest grandson doesn't even have enough to eat, so how can we have extra milk to share with your brother and sister? Go away, you are a family of unlucky things! If you stay here, what if you pass the bad luck to us?"

"You! If it's uneven, then it's uneven! Third Grandma, why are you scolding me?" Ruan Qingqing was very angry.

"Why am I cursing? Look at your family, from top to bottom, who is a decent person? Your father is a gambler, your mother is weak, and you are still very young, and your reputation as a hot-tempered person has spread all over the village. Your eldest brother is a scoundrel, your second sister is not only cunning but also likes to do bad things behind people's backs, and your second brother howls at every turn, and the whole village can hear his howls, which is so annoying! Isn't this bad luck?"

The third grandmother scolded Ruan Qingqing in a very angry tone while chasing her away with a broom.

"Third Grandma, I will remember what you said today! I hope that in the future you will not ask for anything from us unlucky people!"

Ruan Qingqing looked at Third Grandma deeply, then turned and left.

Not only did she fail to get the milk, but she was also very angry. Ruan Qingqing kicked and stomped the stones on the road as she walked home.

She now sees clearly that few people in this village are really willing to deal with their family.

It is true, if you lean against the wall, the wall will fall; if you lean against the wall, the wall will lean. You can only rely on yourself.

But where would she find food for her unborn brothers and sisters?

If they can’t even fill their stomachs, how can we ensure that they can grow up?

Borrowing milk is out of the question, but what else can I do?

Ruan Qingqing thought hard as she walked.

If it were modern times, you could buy cow or goat milk powder, and feed your little brothers and sisters with milk powder. Let alone cow or goat milk powder, it would be great to have cow or goat milk to drink!

Cow or goat milk?

Ruan Qingqing suddenly had an idea in her mind.

Maybe she could find a dairy cow or sheep that was producing milk and buy one to bring home, so that she could provide food for her younger brothers and sisters for a while.

But even if there are, the price of cattle and sheep should not be cheap.

Where did she find so much silver?
