1611 It Is a Waste to Feed Him
“Hey, calm down. She’s also just a child. How can we expect her to know how to take care of another child?” said the woman sitting beside the older woman.
“Is she still very young? She’s already 15 years old! She’ll be 16 next year! I was already married when I was 16 years old! At her age, she would have been able to get married in our village long ago! She’s already old enough to be a mother and yet she still doesn’t know how to take care of children. If you ask me, your elder sister is really unlucky to have a younger sister like you! If she knows that her child has turned out like this, she’ll definitely hate you to death! How can you have the cheek to continue staying here!” the older woman said.
Miao Le was berated so badly that she could not speak and could only continue to cry. In the beginning, she still carried Zhuang Zhuang, but now, she placed him on the chair next to her. The older woman was so angry that she went to sit on the chair opposite Miao Le.
“Can such a young child sit in a seat by himself? You’re an adult, yet you don’t know you have to carry him! What if he falls down! Do you have a brain? What’s the use of your brain! Carry him now!” The older woman pointed at Miao Le and scolded her angrily.
The auntie beside her immediately said, “Hey, don’t say that. What if you make the other children cry later? You have to teach this child! Talk to her nicely!”
“What’s the point of talking nicely! If you ask me, she’s just going around to gain sympathy and doesn’t care about the life and death of this child at all. She brought up so many nephews in her maternal family, so how can it be that she doesn’t know how to take care of this child! She’s clearly fooling us! Even if she doesn’t know how to take care of the child, everyone has given her so much advice for so long, so why can’t she learn! It’s not like the family is too poor to eat! Can’t she even give the child some egg broth!” the older woman roared angrily.
“Perhaps her sisters-in-law were also around when she took care of her nephews, so she didn’t need to do too much.” The other auntie was still trying to find an excuse for Miao Le.
The older woman said disdainfully, “What? How can not having real life experience be the issue? Even if her family is poor, her nephews must have eaten rice before. How can it be that she has not seen children eat before? In the past, there was no milk powder! Mothers who did not have enough milk had to make rice gruel for their children! They still all grew up healthy!”
The older woman was one of those who did not produce much milk. In the beginning, her children had a hard time when they were growing up. Still, they grew up to be big and strong men!
Qiao Mei and Qian’e could not help but give this older woman a thumbs up. They did not expect there to be such an upright person here!
“Elder sister, are you from the family compound?” Qiao Mei asked.
“Yes, I’m from the apartment building. I live on the fourth floor of the third block and I’m Miao Le’s neighbor. My name is Rong Xiao, you can call me Sister Rong,” Rong Xiao said.
“I’m a newcomer at the single-story house side. I’m guessing that what happened two days ago has caused an uproar and you already know who I am,” Qiao Mei said frankly.
“Of course, but you did the right thing. Now that Lu Lin’s family has left, it’s really much quieter for us. Thank you!” Rong Xiao said.
Miao Le hugged Zhuang Zhuang and did not dare to make a sound. Rong Xiao was not a heartless person. She sighed and looked at Miao Le patiently as she said, “If you really want to treat the child well, buy more eggs and feed him one a day. He will get better after a while.”
“But he has diarrhea no matter what he eats now. It’s a waste to feed him…” Miao Le said softly.
Qian’e was so angry that she wanted to go up and give Miao Le a beating. However, this child was not hers, so there was no point in beating her up. Zhuang Zhuang would still live in dire straits.
This was also a difficult problem. If the stomach and intestines did not develop well, the child would have diarrhea no matter what he ate. This would make his body very weak, and if his body was weak, all kinds of bacteria would enter his body and make him sick. At that time, the child’s stomach and intestines would have even more serious problems.
There was no way to cure this child completely. If Qiao Mei gave this child some “divine medicine”, he might still be saved. However, seeing the way Tian Jun behaved, Qiao Mei did not want to cause any more trouble. This was all they could do. How this child turned out in the future would depend on his fate.
Soon, they arrived at the county city. Qiao Mei and Qian’e still had to transfer to a train to return to the capital. Along the way, they met all kinds of people who praised Xia Fan and Xia Xing for being very cute. These two children were not afraid of strangers and smiled at everyone.
