Chapter 384: What a strange mother-in-law!
Just as Lin Fengying finished cleaning the baby, Tong Yao pushed the door and entered. She looked at her strangely and said, "How come you’re back so soon, have you found any formula? The baby’s cries are wearing out."
Upon finishing her sentence, she noticed a woman following behind Tong Yao. As someone who’s had a child, Lin Fengying was quick to notice the woman’s full chest, indicating she was lactating. At least her grandson wouldn’t go hungry now.
The woman held a bundle of handmade cotton clothes in her arm. Hearing the pitiful cries of the baby, she quickly handed the clothes to Tong Yao and took the baby from her. She sat down, pulled up her dress, and started feeding the baby without any hint of embarrassment.
Having gone without food for a day, Yuanyuan finally got to feed on breast milk, and he stopped crying, swallowing the milk with shut eyes.
Seeing this scene, Tong Yao breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Thank you, Sister Axia. If it wasn’t for you, I really wouldn’t know where to find formula at this late hour." She had never taken care of a baby this small in either of her lives.
Wang Xia had only just moved to the residential compound last month. Her baby was just over five months old and usually had a good appetite, with enough breast milk to feed him. Upon hearing that Tong Yao was struggling with a baby who’d been hungry for a day and had soaked his clothes in pee, she hurriedly brought over some spare clothes her baby didn’t wear.
At the time, she didn’t have the chance to ask for more details. Now, seeing the miserable state of the baby, she asked in confusion, "Whose baby is this, and why didn’t his mom come with him?"
He wasn’t just picked up from the street, was he?
