My Children Are Fierce And Adorable! Chapter 236 - Saving Old Aunt Xu

Chapter 236 - Saving Old Aunt Xu

The children agreed obediently. If children in the mountains had milk to drink, even if the taste of goat milk was average, they would definitely finish it.
After all, milk was considered expensive in the Shang dynasty, especially in Yuan City. Boats could not transport much liquid, so such things were usually expensive in Yuan City.
There were three small bowls of goat milk left, which was less than half the amount the children had drunk. It was just the right amount for the babies.
Ye Lulu took it back to the house and tried to feed the babies after the goat milk was warmed.
Originally, she was worried that the babies would not drink it because they might feel that the milk tastes different. She saw that the babies had a reaction after trying to drink goat milk. Their eyes rolled, but they still drank it..
Ye Lulu was immediately relieved. The babies were drinking goat milk! That was great. Even if there wasn't enough breast milk in the future, there would be a solution.
…
The year was coming to an end. Every day was bustling with noise and excitement. Ye Lulu could feel the atmosphere during the new year in ancient times. It was much stronger than in the modern era. At the very least, the festive feeling was very strong.
However, the new year in Yunwu Village was still relatively reserved. The villagers were too poor and couldn't bring out much to celebrate the New Year.
Especially since more than half of winter had passed during the new year, the families did not have much food anymore…
Mother Rong and Ye Lulu wandered around the village. It was rare for the three babies to be asleep. They instructed Guan Chibei to watch by the side so that the two of them could get away for a short period of time and come out to walk around.
When they passed by a few low houses in the village—
'Slap.' A crisp sound came from the house. There was a sound of something landing. Then, there was no more sound.
The two of them stopped in their tracks. Ye Lulu looked at Mother Rong in surprise. Mother Rong exclaimed, "The person living in this room is Old Aunt. She's alone. Let's hurry up and go in!"
Old Aunt Xu lived alone in the village. Her children and partners had long passed away. Most of the time, she lived alone. Her house was also very dilapidated.
There weren't many young men at home who worked hard. Old Aunt Xu was also old, so it was naturally difficult for such an old woman to live. It was common for her to only drink rice soup on ordinary days, so her days were very tight.
The house was also a very small one. It was short and old. Now that there was the sound of something falling, it meant that something had happened to Old Aunt Xu!
Mother Rong and Ye Lulu rushed in. The house was indeed very simple. The old mud wall was empty. There was only an old wooden table in front of the bed. There was a wooden chair with a missing leg by the wall. It was cushioned with a stone.
There was nothing else.
The bed was also very dilapidated. What was worse was that there was only a rotten straw mat on the bed. There was no bedding, and there was only a thin blanket that revealed black cotton!
How was she supposed to survive such a cold winter…
Ye Lulu was shocked to see this. A thin figure had collapsed on the ground beside the table. There was also a broken wooden kettle and a bamboo cup on the ground. They had shattered into pieces and water was splashing everywhere.
One could tell with one look that the Old Aunt Xu wanted to pour some water and suddenly fainted and smashed the kettle and cup!
"Old Aunt!" Mother Rong exclaimed and rushed over to help Old Aunt Xu. Ye Lulu also helped. She was shocked the moment she touched Old Aunt Xu because she realized that there was a very thin layer of clothes. It was actually an autumn shirt! At most, it had an additional layer of a coat compared to summer clothes, but it was still very thin.
Secondly, Old Aunt Xu was very thin!
