The fake daughter married into the mountains and had meat to eat every day during the famine

Song Yuntang carried the child into the house and put her on the kang. After untying the swaddling clothes, he found that the child had a lot of prickly heat on her body. Not only that, the skin on both sides of her thighs was red and swollen to the point of breaking. If she was accidentally touched, the child would cry loudly.

When Zhao heard this, she thought Song Yuntang didn't know how to take care of the child, so she hurried over.

"what happened?"

Song Yuntang examined the child from front to back.

"It's so hot, and you didn't even bother changing the child into thinner clothes. Not only did he get a rash all over his body, but the skin on the inside of his legs is also broken. My sister-in-law has never taken care of a child, and my mother took care of five before. I wonder if she doesn't understand either?"

Zhao looked at the child's body covered with prickly heat, with heartache in her eyes.

"Your father and eldest brother are not at home these days. I've been busy at home and in the fields. Your eldest sister-in-law has been taking care of the child. Mother really doesn't know about it."

No wonder the child has been making more noise than usual these days. This is the reason.

It's difficult for her to be a mother-in-law.

Seeing that the child had grown taller, she had wanted to buy cloth to make two sets of clothes for the child. However, Mrs. Liu insisted that the child grew too fast. If she really couldn't do it, she would take out the cotton in the swaddling clothes, modify them a little, and make new clothes for the child when he started to learn to walk.

She couldn't resist, and since she was busy with things at home and in the fields, she didn't take care of it.

Who knew she would bring up the child like this?

After hearing this, Song Yuntang stopped talking.

My second brother once said that my eldest sister-in-law was not happy that he gave birth to a girl. During the Chinese New Year, although she seemed cold towards the girl, she still did things like holding the baby and feeding the baby.

It is said that even a tiger won't eat its own cubs, but I didn't expect that she could be so indifferent to the child's feelings.

Song Yuntang first folded the swaddle and placed it on the child.

"Mom, go get me a basin of water. I'll clean the child and then get some medicine to rub on him."

I don’t know how often this swaddling clothes are changed. The whole thing smells strongly of urine and is very pungent.

Zhao nodded, "Okay, I'll go right away."

Outside the yard, Xia Ning had just moved the food into the yard when he heard Song Yuntang's instructions.

"Xia Ning, the food for grandpa, grandma, and my two uncles will be delivered later. First, take down the carriage and go to the farm to get me the medicine box. Bring some herbs as well."

"Yes."

Xia Ning took off the carriage and rode towards the farm.

Liu stood aside, looking at Song Yuntang's expressionless face, feeling a little unsure.

"Is Tang'er blaming me for not taking good care of the child?"

Song Yuntang lowered his eyes and teased his niece on the bed, saying softly, "Whether it's a boy or a girl, they're all your own children. Big sister-in-law is a woman herself, so why can't you empathize? Do you want Yi'er to grow up like you, with a love-hate relationship with her family?"

"I just think children grow up fast..."

Before Liu could finish her words, she saw Song Yuntang looking at her.

"Sister-in-law, put yourself in Yi'er's shoes. If Yi'er were a son, would you be indifferent to him seeing him covered in heat rash? And the diaper rash on the inside of his legs, it must be because he peed and didn't change the diaper for a long time, so he got this way, right?"

Liu pursed her lips, not knowing what to say.

Taking care of a child also requires physical strength. I just gave birth to a child and my energy has not yet fully recovered.

Especially when the weather gets hot, I feel a little lazy and my eyelids droop when I'm idle, so I just deal with it.

It wasn't that she did it on purpose.

"When I changed the baby's swaddling clothes yesterday, it wasn't this serious. Maybe it's because it's too hot today."

Seeing that there was no trace of distress or guilt in Liu's eyes, Song Yuntang stopped.

Some people's ideas cannot be changed.

If you talk too much, the relationship will become too strained and even the superficial family affection will not be maintained.

It's hard for the child.

.

The horse was riding very fast. Not long after Song Yuntang washed the child's whole body with warm water, Xia Ning came in with a medicine box and herbs.

Song Yuntang took it and took out a box of comfrey ointment that can dissolve dead tissue and regenerate new flesh, and applied it on the inner thigh of the child.

"The herbs Xia Ning brought can be boiled into a paste and applied to the child to get rid of prickly heat. I asked her to bring some extra. Please keep it well. It's summer now, and I'm afraid it will be useful in the future."

The temperature has been exceptionally high in the past two years, and children's skin is delicate, making them most prone to prickly heat.

Zhao agreed, thinking that since Liu didn't care about the child, she would have to worry more.

After Song Yuntang applied medicine to the child and put on his newly bought clothes, he picked up the child and looked him over.

"So lovely."

Zhao also smiled and said, "Aunt has good taste. This dress fits me perfectly."

After the child changed into light clothes, he probably felt more comfortable and actually grinned at Song Yuntang.

Song Yuntang smiled and didn't put the child down.

She looked at Zhao.

"Mom, what are your and Dad's plans for my second brother's marriage?"

Zhao was stunned. She was wondering why Tang'er suddenly came back. It turned out to be because of Jinsheng's marriage.

"I haven't discussed this with your father yet. When he comes back, I'll talk to him and see what he thinks."

It seems that this couple didn't think about the second brother at all.

"I've already arranged my second brother's marriage, so naturally, it's up to my parents to take care of the wedding. Mu Qiu is a good girl, half a year younger than me. Mom, please don't let her down."

"Look at what you said. They are all my daughters-in-law, so I will naturally treat them equally. What your eldest brother did back then, your second brother should do as well." Zhao looked at her. "I heard from Jinsheng that you have already given a betrothal gift to that girl?"

Song Yuntang nodded and gave her the betrothal gift list that he had specially written to take home.

If you want to have a wedding, your parents will also need to know how much the betrothal gift is.

"This was my first time doing this, so I bought her everything I could buy in town based on the rules the Xu family had set for me when they proposed marriage to me."

Zhao took the betrothal gift list and took a look at it.

She couldn't recognize more complicated characters, but she did recognize the two characters "Shiliang".

She pointed to the betrothal gift list.

"What does this mean? The Mu family asked you for a betrothal gift of ten taels of silver?" There was some surprise in his tone.

Song Yuntang shook his head and said, "The Mu family never discussed with me how much betrothal gifts they wanted. These things are all prepared by me for my second brother."

"This is too much!" Zhao looked at her in shock. "Her family has raised her for all these years. If it's less, I don't mind not taking her back to my mother. But of the ten taels of silver, should I take some back?"

Song Yuntang frowned slightly.

"I told them before that it's up to them whether to take the ten taels back or not."

In addition to the betrothal gift of ten taels of silver, there was also a ten percent dividend from Mingyue Tower in the county town, which she invested for him using the remaining ten taels of silver that the Huang family compensated to her second brother.

Fortunately, she didn't list this on paper, otherwise they would have been furious.

"Didn't the Xu family bring back the betrothal gifts that they gave to Tang'er? It should be okay to let my second brother and his wife bring back part of the betrothal gifts when they get married, right?" Liu said weakly.
