There is Room For Abandoned Women In the 1980s

Chapter 466: Being in the spotlight

 Chapter 466 Attention-grabbing

"Don't worry, everyone, the food is in the pit, and my dad is organizing people to transport it up!"

Zheng Xinyue was under so much attention for the first time. She could feel everyone's desire for food. In order to make everyone happy, she smiled and clapped her hands to calm down the noisy crowd before she made a loud announcement.

 “Great, let’s go and help too.”

Women don’t care that it’s dark and the roads are difficult to walk. They can steal a little by helping to transport food. Even if they have a handful of food, they can cook some porridge for the elderly and children.

 “Mom, let’s go too?”

Li Xiuqin whispered urgently to her mother-in-law, what a great opportunity to steal some food and send it back to her parents' family.

Her mother said this time that her father was so hungry that he could not get off the ground, and his belly was as big as a pot. She thought that if she had some food, she would have to give birth to her and raise her.

After being brainwashed by her mother, Li Xiuqin really thought about the opportunity to steal some food, and made an appointment with her mother. She would go to the back mountain to wait for her every week.

 “I want you to go, I want to take my Xinyue home for dinner.”

Gao Guilan rolled his eyes at her and showed no kindness towards her. Her parents couldn't sit still when they came. Why did they look down on her so much?

Li Xiuqin's face turned pale. She really wanted to go, but what if her mother-in-law wouldn't let her go? What a great opportunity, if you miss it you will never see it again.

No, she had to go and tell her parents so that they could get more while the black people were in chaos.

“Mom, I’m going to see Jackie Chan.” Li Xiuqin gathered her attention and asked Gao Guilan in a low voice.

"get out!"

Gao Guilan looked at her scheming daughter-in-law with disappointment, cursed angrily, and was too lazy to care about her anymore.

 “Changfeng, let’s go, come home for dinner, and my aunt will kill a chicken for you.”

Gao Guilan's eyes became passionate when she looked at Gu Changfeng. It was the look in which the mother-in-law looked more and more fond of her son-in-law.

The people in the village didn't care about them. They went home to get their flour bags and ran up the mountain behind them with their baskets on their backs.

Zheng Xinyue grinned as she looked at the mighty team, like moving ants in the dark night, just for that morsel of food.

In modern times, elders always tell young people to cherish food. But how can people who have never lived in this famine era know how precious food is?

 Back home, Gao Guilan and Li Xiuli didn't let Zheng Xinyue do anything. They rushed her and Gu Changfeng to the east room, lit the kerosene lamp and sat on the kang to wait for food.

The children gathered around their aunt and Director Gu, chattering happily, and asked Zheng Xinyue to test their vocabulary. Looking into a pair of bright and innocent eyes, Zheng Xinyue had a gentle smile on her face. It felt good to go home.

No matter how dilapidated the house is, it can keep out the wind and rain, and no matter how poor the family is, the love of her family makes her feel so rich.

 Gu Changfeng smiled and looked at the little girl, as if she had transformed into a serious teacher. He suddenly had an idea in his mind that Xinyue was only eighteen years old and so smart. If she wanted to study, he could help her.

In the kitchen, Li Xiuli was busy stewing chicken. She lowered her voice and asked her mother-in-law: "Mom, do you think Xinyue and Factory Manager Gu can do it?"

"I didn't think it was possible before, but now Changfeng can risk his life to save Xinyue, which proves that he cares about Xinyue. Even if his family doesn't agree, he will find a way to make them agree."

Gao Guilan was making noodles and talking to her daughter-in-law with a smile in her eyes. She wanted to bake pancakes for Gu Changfeng, but she didn't feel bad about eating anything for her uncle.

"I also think Director Gu is sincere to Xinyue, but I don't know if his family can agree? If he knew about Xinyue's illness, would he dislike Xinyue like Zhang Hongbin?"
