3763: Fright (2)

Fright (2)

"I really have no choice. Otherwise, I wouldn't have come to beg you at this hour…"2

The second daughter-in-law said anxiously, "Sister-in-law, I know you don't have much either, but there are so many people in my family, and we only have one bedroll. We don't have enough duvets for the children alone, but you have two…"

Li frowned.

Before, she was a cowardly woman, but after the near-death experience with her two children, and after seeing how tough Feng Wu was, she had unknowingly become tougher.

She used to never say no, but now, she shook her head. "Sister-in-law, as you know, I don't have much either…"

Her sister-in-law said, "I know, but you can turn the duvet sideways. That'll cover you all."

Li frowned. "Sister-in-law, what are you talking about? There aren't just the four of us. Feng is with us too. How can she sleep in the same bed with me and my husband? You're talking nonsense!"

The second daughter-in-law said, "She's just a little beggar. We're not family. You don't have to…"

"Sister-in-law!" Li scolded her. "She's my niece! Not an outsider! Moreover, we've given away a bedroll already! Why should we give away another one? I won't have it!"

Her sister-in-law was a little displeased. "Li…"

Li waved her off. "You don't have to say another word! I'm not lending you anything!"

She then turned to leave.

They raised their voices this time, so many people heard them.

So, it really was about the bedroll… Many people thought to themselves.

The look on the second daughter-in-law's face kept changing as she watched Li leave.

However, the anger soon disappeared from her face, and she went up to the old lady with a smile.

When she walked past Gao Mingjiang's family, she smiled at the others and seemed to be in a great mood.

However, Sanya grabbed Feng Wu's hand anxiously, as did Xiaoshu.

After she left, Sanya and Xiaoshu looked nervously at Feng Wu.

Feng Wu smiled. "No one can take away what's ours. Don't worry."

A few steps away, the third daughter-in-law smirked at her husband. "I told you already. Your second brother's wife isn't as simple as she looks. Look how capable she is. She can ask for a bed with a wave of her hand."

Her husband threw a dirty look at her. "Shut up! Have you forgotten? Who did you take that bedroll from? The one we're sleeping in now belongs to Mingjiang!"

Her wife cringed and didn't dare to speak, fearing that her bedroll would be taken away.

Just then, the second daughter-in-law went up to the old lady, who had been angry at the noise, but the second daughter-in-law was able to appease the old lady with a few words.

The old lady frowned and stared at her. "Are you sure?!"

The second daughter-in-law nodded. "I saw it. It's really two meters long. It can fit a lot of people.

"Mum, look at my seven children. They're all freezing. If there's a two-meter-long duvet, they'll be able to get through. Mum, what do you think…"

The old lady rolled her eyes at her daughter-in-law. "You know what Li is like now. She's so tough that she can talk back to me!"

The second daughter-in-law cajoled the old lady until her head swam.

"Mom, all seven of them are your grandchildren…"
