"She scolded the woman so fiercely that no one could stop her. Then the old woman wanted her daughter-in-law, who had just given birth to a child, to be discharged from the hospital immediately. She did not want her to continue staying in the hospital to waste money. The fool knelt on the ground and begged her mother to wait a few more days until the hospital said she could be discharged. The old woman was so angry that she returned to the countryside on the same day. Within a day, she sold all the chickens, ducks, and pigs in the house. Some of them were even sold at a low price. She said that even if she lost money, she would not let that woman off so easily!"
"The fool's wife stayed in the hospital for four to five days, and then she carried her daughter out of the hospital and went home. The old woman sold all her things, but she did not prepare anything for the woman's confinement period. My friend's grandmother decided to help the woman; she killed chickens and ducks at her home to cook for the woman. My friend's mother also helped to care for the fool's wife."
"Your friend's family is very kind." Jiang Yao sighed. Chickens and ducks were precious at that time; even eggs were expensive too. However, that family had killed and given those animals to the woman.
"Yes, my friend's grandparents and parents are very nice people. I have been to their home in the county, and their parents are very kind." Lu Xiaoxiao grinned. "Her grandmother's cooking is even better than Auntie's!"
"Let's talk about the child." If Lu Xingzhi did not interrupt Lu Xiaoxiao, he bet that she could talk about her friend's grandmother's cooking skills for more than half an hour.
