Seeing that her mother-in-law didn't respond to her words, Zhang Zaohua's face turned a little unhappy. She cleaned the dishes and said while waving a rag and banging on them, "Oh, it's because her parents are capable and both have salaries. She has been drinking milk since she was born. She is more precious than the daughters of landlords in the past! Unlike us, we are just mud legs digging for food in the fields."

Gu Husheng, who was playing nearby, heard this and asked Zhang Zaohua curiously, "Mom, why are you just peasants?"

Zhang Zaohua almost choked when she heard this, her face flushed with anger. She grabbed the broom next to her and slapped Gu Xiaohu's butt a few times. This kid is really stupid!

Zhang Zaohua's singing and recitation did not receive any response from the adults in the family. Without anyone to talk to her, Zhang Zaohua could not sing any more and instead stopped.

However, the old couple of the Gu family knew that their eldest daughter-in-law had always been a bit greedy, so Gu Dahu invited the whole family to sit down in the main hall.

"Big brother's wife, your nose is not a nose and your eyes are not eyes this morning. If you have any opinions, just say it!"

"Hmph! What does she have an opinion about? She's just jealous of those things!" Li Dahua looked down upon her eldest daughter-in-law for being so superficial.

"Mom, you asked me to say this, so I'm going to say it!"

"The second family just left the child here and didn't care about him anymore. They didn't even think about how much effort and energy it takes to take care of such a young child. Shouldn't they give him something as a token of their appreciation?"

"Besides, she's just a girl, why can't she share some milk powder with the boys?"

The more Zhang Zaohua talked, the more unfair it seemed to her. In rural areas, boys were treated as treasures, so why couldn't they be divided?

The old couple of the Gu family did not tell Zhang Zaohua that this person did not have any bad intentions, but was son-centric and a little greedy. So she gave birth to three boys, and Li Dahua did not pay much attention to her problems. The key point was the attitude of the eldest son.

Gu Dahu asked his eldest son, "Boss, what do you say?"

"Dad, Mom, I have no objection! Besides, we have a girl now. After the war, Qingyu will have to go back to her parents. It's okay for us to help take care of her for a year or two." Gu Ping has become accustomed to his wife making a fuss over trivial matters every now and then, because every time his wife returns empty-handed. He is used to it, used to it!

Li Dahua took out the letter written by Duan Xuezhi and asked her eldest grandson to read it to everyone.

"The eldest and second daughters-in-law didn't just abandon the child. In addition to the clothes and milk powder, they also gave 200 yuan in child support. This amount of money is more than enough to raise a child, and the extra money is also a disguised reward for everyone's hard work."

Zhang Zaohua was already beaming when she heard the two hundred yuan. She had no objections! Nowadays, a rural family that can save twenty or thirty yuan a year is considered quite capable. How many families are still in debt year after year?

"The child is still young, so he doesn't need too much milk powder. The milk powder that the second son's wife sent back won't last more than two or three months. Big brother, go ask around and see if there's any nearby village with newly-born ewes. Buy a couple."

"Firstly, it's used as food and milk for Xiao Qingyu, and also as supplements for the adults and children. The money will come from these two hundred yuan."

Zhang Zaohua had no objection to her mother-in-law's arrangement. She thought that she and her child would be able to enjoy the delicious food after the sheep was bought, so she quickly stood up and said that she would go out with Gu Ping to inquire about the situation and try to buy the sheep as soon as possible.
