Reborn in the 1980s, remarried and followed a soldier, the ungrateful wretch cried with regret.

Chapter 196 Can I borrow five yuan?
Fu Mingxue was shocked.

She couldn't even come up with five dollars—didn't each of her husbands receive a stipend?

Could it be that not a single penny was handed over to her?
Cui Meihong blushed – Fu Mingxue's gaze made her feel uncomfortable and uneasy.

"I'll pay you back when my man comes back. He's been away on a mission these past few days. I... I'll buy medicine for my daughter. Her face was burned yesterday, and it's blistered a bit today."

Fu Mingxue was speechless upon hearing this.

I really don't know what to say about her.

Your little girl got burned, and you didn't take her to the doctor yesterday? You waited until today when the blisters appeared before taking her to the doctor?
Does she have some serious mental illness?
He took five yuan out of his pocket and handed it over.

"Thank you, thank you!" Cui Meihong quickly thanked her and then accepted the money.

After nodding to Fu Mingxue, she quickly ran home.

At this moment, Madam Fu came out.

He had obviously witnessed what just happened. "You lent her money?"

Fu Mingxue nodded, "Yes, I lent them five yuan. It was mainly because of the child."

She wouldn't lend money to adults who didn't have any, not even enough to eat.

Given the current difficulties, it's still worthwhile to try contacting the management of the residential compound.

But now it's that little girl's face that's being treated—she feels sorry for the little girl.

Anyway, she doesn't need those five yuan.

Moreover, she didn't think she wouldn't get the five dollars back.

Mrs. Fu sighed, "That child is pitiful."

Having a grandmother who is so sexist is really a nightmare.

However, this was a very common phenomenon in those days, with many families favoring sons over daughters.

Fu Mingxue went back to eat breakfast, and because of the delay, it was almost cold.

After she finished eating, she saw that the two children were already in their designated seats.

"Big Treasure, Little Treasure, come call Mommy—"

"By the way, you mustn't touch hot things in the future." Those little faces and hands are so delicate; if they get burned, it'll be a real ordeal. The little girl next door must have gotten burned pretty badly.

She didn't want her two children to experience this situation.

However, with her mother around, it shouldn't be a problem—after all, her mother takes good care of the children.

──
When Hao's mother saw her daughter-in-law carrying the child out of the house, she immediately reached out to stop her.

She angrily questioned, "Where are you going if you're not going to work while holding your child?"

"I'm taking Nannan to see a doctor. Look how hot her face is, she has to see a doctor."

Upon hearing this, Hao's mother immediately flew into a rage. "Why see a doctor? Just apply some soy sauce, won't that be enough?"

Then another question came to mind.

Her eyes widened even more.

"Where will you get the money to take him to see a doctor?"

"Tell me, did you hide money?"

Cui Meihong's eyes reddened with anger, "--I didn't hide any money."

If she had money, would she need to borrow from others?
The thought that she couldn't even afford five yuan for her daughter's medical treatment made her feel extremely distressed.

Mingming, her husband also receives a monthly allowance.

Hao's mother became even angrier. "You're still arguing with me. If you don't have money, how are you going to go to the hospital?"

As he spoke, he reached into Cui Meihong's pockets, shouting, "Give me back my money!"

Cui Meihong was really anxious now. She quickly hid to the side to prevent her mother-in-law from getting her money.

But it was very inconvenient for her to hold the child.

The children were so frightened that they cried loudly.

Cui Meihong was both angry and anxious looking at her mother-in-law who was still arguing.

"Mom, that's not my money. I just borrowed five yuan from Comrade Fu next door. It's for the child's face to see a doctor and buy medicine."
