Chapter 254 - 255: Thunderstruck 2
Having all the food stolen was bad enough, now even eating rice was painful, damned rats!!
Yet, no one at the dining table paid her any heed. They were all holding sweet potatoes and gnawing them down like crazy.
Li Chunhua could only wipe away her tears and eat, making sure not to touch the sore on her lips, fearing that the sweet potatoes would be snapped up by others soon.
Ma Xiulian peeled the sweet potato for her beloved granddaughter, blew it cool, and placed it in her bowl, anxiously warning, "Eat slowly, don’t burn yourself."
"Hmm."
Helian Qiao responded softly, holding the sweet potato with her chubby little hands and began feasting delightfully.
Sweet potatoes were a rare vegetarian food that the little princess liked, it even tasted good roasted.
Ma Xiulian, as if remembering something, turned to Li Chunhua and said, "I heard from Mrs. Bai that your mother fell and broke her leg while going to the bathroom at night. She probably can’t leave bed for a few months."
Mrs. Bai has relatives at the commune next to old Li’s family. She casually mentioned it when she came to borrow grain a few days ago.
