Eating melons

Chapter 518 Wu Family 2

To be honest, she felt very bad now. She didn't expect that the first time she lied was to her parents, and she lied a lot at once.

However, Wu Mei did not regret hiding this from her parents at all.

Now she also knows that the money needed for her mother's illness is really not something she can afford alone, and she also has to consider her own future.

It’s not that she doesn’t want to support her mother, but she has to keep some money in hand to plan for her future.

She really doesn't want her children to be like her in the future.

In the past, Wu Mei always felt that she was very happy. After all, her parents never beat her because she was a girl.

Although her family was not well off, her parents still supported her through high school, so she still felt very happy and lucky.

It was not until she met Wei Wei, Jiang Qi and Liu Jiaojiao that she realized that girls could live so freely.

So she has to plan for her children's future. She doesn't want her children to live as hard as she does.

Forget about being as unrestrained as Wei Wei, Jiang Qi, and Liu Jiaojiao in the future, but at least they don’t have to worry about the burden on their family.

The most important thing was that she remembered a sentence that Yu Xi and others said.

The family responsibilities they were talking about were her father's responsibility, and secondly her mother's responsibility. As long as her parents were alive, it was not her turn to take responsibility.

These are things her parents should worry about, not her.

All six of them said this and agreed with it, so Wu Mei still trusted him very much, so she didn't want to take on so many responsibilities.

Thinking of this, Wu Mei suppressed her soft-heartedness.

However, Wu Gang and Chen Fang just asked here, and they didn't really want Wu Mei to spend her own money to buy ginseng.

Wu Gang did have the idea of ​​buying ginseng at first, but he gave up the idea after hearing the price.

The doctor also said that the reason why Chen Fang's body responded to ginseng so quickly was mainly because her body was too weak, so a little supplementation had a very obvious effect.

But if you continue to supplement, the effect will not be so good. Although the body will slowly recover, it is impossible to recover completely. After all, ginseng is not a miracle drug.

Therefore, after hearing the price, both Wu Gang and Chen Fang gave up the idea of ​​buying ginseng. It was too expensive.

It would be better to buy a few more pounds of meat with this money, which can still replenish your body.

Also, the family can no longer not save money like before. After all, Wu Xiangyang is growing up and will be able to get married soon. The family cannot be left with nothing.

After this topic was dropped, no one continued to talk about it, and attention quickly shifted to the dinner table.

Except Wu Mei, everyone was attracted by tonight's meal.

Knowing that Wu Mei was coming back today, the family spent a lot of money today.

Wu Gang went to a nearby village yesterday and bought a chicken, eggs, and some white flour dumplings on the table.

This white flour was sent back by Wu Mei. In previous years, such treatment was only available during the Chinese New Year.

But Wu Mei felt very ordinary when she saw this table. To be honest, when she was in the Red Star Brigade, since her finances were not so tight, she could eat this kind of food several times a month, if not every day.

Therefore, although she was still greedy for meat, she was not as greedy as before.

The effect of the better meals was very obvious, and her complexion looked much better.

When she was in the Red Star Brigade, she was often with Wei Wei and the others, so it was not noticeable. But now that she is back home, it is obvious at a glance. Her complexion is the best among the people in the family.

It's just that it doesn't look obvious now, because no one in the family needs to go out in the sun and rain, and she just finished the autumn harvest and has become several degrees darker.

But seeing her family like this, Wu Mei still felt a little distressed, so she tried not to pick up meat when eating, and instead picked up the mushrooms and potatoes from the meat. In fact, the mushrooms were sent back by her.

But Chen Fang still felt very sorry for her daughter who had gone to the countryside and had not returned for a year and a half. Seeing that Wu Mei did not eat meat and only ate the vegetables, she hurriedly picked up some meat for her.

"Xiaomei, eat quickly, eat meat quickly, eat more meat, you must be exhausted in the countryside."

In Chen Fang's mind, Wu Mei must be living frugally in the countryside and doing farm work. After all, she owed such a huge debt to buy ginseng for her.

Therefore, Chen Fang still feels very distressed when she sees Wu Mei, who is now dark and thin.

Looking at the meat in the bowl, Wu Mei quickly put it into Chen Fang's bowl.

"It's okay, Mom. You can eat it yourself. You should eat more to keep your body healthy. As for me, I have no shortage of meat in the country. I eat it often."

"Really? Sister, is the countryside so good? Then can I go there too?"

When Wu Yonghong and Wu Xiangyang heard Wu Mei's words, their eyes lit up and they were very excited.

But Chen Fang didn't believe this. Everyone needs meat these days.

Even if the villagers raised their own chickens, and even if their brigade had its own farm, Wu Mei still couldn't afford to eat them.
