Chapter 237 - Barley Porridge With Herbs

She was soft and thin. When she touched her, she felt a bunch of bones. There was not much meat on her and she was very weak. It was obvious how weak Old Aunt Xu's body was.
Old Aunt Xu's face was also white and green. Her eyes were tightly closed, and her cheeks were so thin that they were sunken. She looked very uncomfortable.
"She must have fainted from hunger!" Mother Rong shouted, "How many days has she been hungry for? Lulu, quickly put Old Aunt on my back. I'll carry her home. I have to bring her back to our house to take a look."
They couldn't stay either because there was no blanket on Old Aunt Xu's bed. Furthermore, it was very cold when they came in.. It wasn't much warmer than outside. Old Aunt Xu definitely didn't have much firewood.
She still had to bring her back to the Guan family. There was a warm place for Old Aunt Xu to stay. Otherwise, her body would be in an even worse state!
Ye Lulu helped to put Old Aunt Xu on Mother Rong's back. Mother Rong carried Old Aunt Xu and rushed home.
As soon as they entered the house, the Guan family walking in the courtyard saw them and immediately surrounded them with wide eyes. Mother Rong carried Old Aunt Xu and ran into the kitchen. "Old Aunt Xu fell in her house. Lulu and I found her and brought her back. Hurry…"
When the Guan family saw Mother Rong's formation, they quickly helped.
Firewood was burning in the kitchen the entire day, so it was indeed the warmest. Mother Rong carried Old Aunt Xu in and took down the vegetable basket on the bed so that she could lie on it.
Ye Lulu quickly started to heat up the remaining porridge.
"Mother, feed her some warm water first." Ye Lulu took some time to look at the unconscious Old Aunt Xu.
"Sigh." Mother Rong quickly got up. Eldest sister-in-law Guan had already brought in warm water. Mother Rong took it and fed some to Old Aunt Xu. Old Aunt Xu swallowed some and slowly opened her eyes. "Sigh…"
Old Aunt Xu let out a hoarse sigh.
"She's awake. Old Aunt Xu is awake!"
At this moment, Ye Lulu had also warmed the porridge. She carried it over and fed Old Aunt Xu with a wooden spoon.
The barley porridge with herbs that the Guan family had eaten today happened to nourish their stomachs. Furthermore, the stove had not been turned off and the porridge was simmered very well. Ye Lulu carefully fed some to Old Aunt Xu. When the porridge entered her stomach, Old Aunt Xu slowly opened her eyes and sighed in despair. "Sigh…"
"Old Aunt, don't think about anything else. Hurry up and eat the porridge," Mother Rong said first, afraid that Old Aunt Xu would reject her.
Old Aunt Xu opened her eyes weakly. When she saw the Guan family and the environment, embarrassment filled her eyes. She struggled and said, "How can this do…"
The Guan family was not related to her!
"Old Aunt, eat quickly!" Mother Rong said again, "You've already fainted from hunger. If you don't eat something, something bad will happen. It's just some porridge. It's nothing…"
Without any explanation, Ye Lulu fed spoonful after spoonful into Old Aunt Xu's mouth. Old Aunt Xu was too weak and finally ate the entire bowl of porridge.
Eldest sister-in-law Guan and the rest were also looking on with concern.
When Old Aunt Xu regained her strength and her face was no longer as pale, Mother Rong asked in concern, "What's wrong? Why did you suddenly faint? You… haven't eaten for some days?"
She was definitely hungry. Mother Rong knew at a glance!
Old Aunt Xu could no longer reject the Guan family's good intentions. Her muddy eyes were wet, and her voice was weak. She sobbed and said, "It's been more than two days… There's really no more food at home."
Mother Rong revealed a look of pity and realization.
The other Guan family members also sighed and fell silent.
More than half of winter had passed.
