1970s: A hot-tempered wife who accompanied a soldier to the military compound and made a fortune.

Chapter 588 What time is it? Why bother with all that?

As soon as Ge Xiulan left, Qu's mother went straight into her daughter's room: "How is Aihua? Has she produced any milk yet?"

When Qu Aihua saw her mother, tears immediately streamed down her face: "Mom, there's still nothing. The baby keeps crying because he's hungry. Yesterday, we borrowed a small bowl of milk from someone in the village to feed him, but we can't very well borrow it again today. What should we do?"

When Qu's mother saw her daughter crying, she quickly stepped forward to comfort her: "Silly girl, you mustn't cry. Crying during your postpartum period will cause health problems."

He hurriedly grabbed a towel from the washbasin stand and said, "Quickly wipe yourself clean, we can always think of a way."

As she spoke, she leaned closer to the bedside and looked at her sleeping granddaughter: "Poor baby, your mother is really useless, she can't even give you a drop of milk."

Qu Aihua looked up at her mother.

Mother Qu quickly pointed to the paper package she was carrying: "This is some lactation-boosting medicine I found. I'll have Jiandong brew it for you later. Once your milk comes in, don't feed the baby yet."

Thinking of her son-in-law who was still nearby, she handed him the things she was holding: "Jianqiang, hurry up and soak the Chinese medicine first, and then you can decoct it for her later. The sooner the milk comes in, the less the baby will suffer."

Liu Jianqiang quickly took it: "Okay, I'll go right away."

Once everyone else had left, Qu's mother leaned close to her daughter's ear and whispered, "If your milk comes in, have your husband help you express it. After a day, have him help you express it a few more times before feeding the baby."

Upon hearing this, Qu Aihua blushed deeply: "Mom, I know, please stop talking."

Seeing her daughter blush, she stopped talking: "You can't really count on your in-laws. In my opinion, it would be better to have Jiandong go to the second branch of the family that your grandparents separated from later." Qu Aihua frowned: "What for?"

"I heard that their second daughter's husband's family is well-off. A few days ago, they came back with lots of gifts, maybe including malted milk powder or milk powder. The couple is kind-hearted, and they might share some with you. Then the child won't have to suffer like this."

“But my in-laws and the second wife’s side have broken off all ties, so it might not be appropriate for us to go and beg them.”

"What time is it? Why bother with all that? Is the child more important or your pride?"

The couple from the second branch of the Liu family, whom they were talking about, were receiving the Ge family, who were visiting from out of town: "You said you were coming, so why did you bring so much stuff?"

Ge San's wife's face was full of gratitude: "It's only right. If it weren't for Chu Xue's fiancé's help that day, my Xiao Song would have been in danger. If Xiao Song didn't need someone to take care of him, we would have come to thank you long ago. Thank you so much."

"Since I won't be able to see your son-in-law anyway, thanking you is the same thing. It's not much, and it's not valuable, so please don't mind."

After some pulling and arguing, Liu's mother said breathlessly, "It was Yancheng who saved the person, so we definitely can't make decisions for him. If we really accept your things, I won't be able to explain it to anyone. I appreciate your kindness on their behalf, but right now your Xiaosong needs to nourish his body, so it's better to leave these things for the child."

In these days, no family is well-off. Firstly, Liu's mother felt sorry for Ge Xiaosong, and secondly, she really didn't dare to make decisions for her future son-in-law. After all, he was a soldier, and if someone brought this up, she would be in big trouble.

Seeing that Liu's mother wasn't putting on a show, Ge San's wife had no choice but to give up. Since that was the case, they would wait for the person to come over and then thank them.

After finally calming the person down, he asked, "How is Xiaosong?"
