Chapter 114: Where There is a Step-father, There is a Step-mother

Su An took a walk to help digest the food, so that her stomach would feel better.

Su An happened to walk into the fields and saw a group of children busying themselves.

These children were picking up rice ears in the fields, and they could be recorded as work points later.

During the summer harvest, not only the adults were busy, but the children in the production team also had to participate.

Just when the children were working hard, a little girl suddenly fainted.

There were several other children nearby, who anxiously helped the little girl to the side.

Seeing that a child had fainted, Su An hurried over to ask, “What happened to her?”

In the hearts of the children in the production team, Su An was a hero who could catch spies and let them eat meat, so everyone liked Su An very much.

Seeing her asking them, a little boy actively stepped forward and said to Su An, “Sister Su An, Wang Xiaohua must have fainted from hunger. She often does this, not just once or twice.”

Su An: “???”

Often fainted from hunger?

Su An knew that although the conditions of every household were difficult at that time, it was not uncommon for children to faint from hunger.

Su An hurried to check on the child.

When she went over and saw the little girl’s appearance clearly, she felt distressed.

The child was skinny, with no meat on her body and sparse hair.

When she saw Wang Xiaohua, Su An thought of her childhood.

The couple in the Su family treated her in the same way. She had endless work to do every day and often went hungry.

If it weren’t for the neighbors around her who felt sorry for her and helped her from time to time, Su An might not have survived.

But the situation in the countryside is different from that in the city. Every household in the countryside is very poor.

When encountering such a poor child, even if other families sympathize, they can’t save some money from their own rations to help.

If you can’t even fill your own stomach, how can you have the ability to help others.

Perhaps thinking of her own childhood experience, Su An was more likely to sympathize and feel distressed when she saw Wang Xiaohua like this.

The child fainted from hunger, and generally fainting from hunger is caused by low blood sugar.

Su An asked these children to stare at Wang Xiaohua, and she quickly went home, made a bowl of sugar water and brought it to Wang Xiaohua.

After drinking the brown sugar water, Wang Xiaohua finally woke up slowly.

Wang Xiaohua had long been accustomed to her situation.

But she didn’t expect that she would wake up this time with a sweet taste in her mouth. Did she drink sugar water?

Are you feeling better?” Su An looked at Wang Xiaohua and asked.

Much better.” Wang Xiaohua looked at Su An and whispered back. The child looked a little timid.

Su An nodded, “Well, it’s good to be better. Eat something.”

Su An said, and stuffed two rice balls into Wang Xiaohua.

These two rice balls were prepared for her by Sun Xinxin.

Sun Xinxin knew that Su An could eat, so she would help to make a few rice balls with the leftovers from lunch.

The rice balls were white rice with meat inside.

Wang Xiaohua didn’t dare to take the rice balls Su An handed over.

Why are you still standing there? Eat quickly, you are so hungry, you have to eat something to fill your stomach.”

Wang Xiaohua took it timidly, “Thank you, Sister Su An.”

Su An waved her hand, “You’re welcome, I don’t need this little food.”

Wang Xiaohua knew that food was precious, so she took the rice balls and ate them in small bites.

Normally, she couldn’t even eat coarse grains. Now that she could eat a white rice ball, she was reluctant to swallow it in one gulp. She had to savor it carefully.

After Wang Xiaohua took another bite of the meat wrapped in the rice ball, her eyes widened in surprise.

There was actually meat?

There were other children around at the moment, so even if she ate the meat, Wang Xiaohua didn’t dare to shout loudly.

“Sister Su An, there’s…”

Eat it. Look how thin you are. You need to eat something good to supplement your nutrition.”

Wang Xiaohua savored the meat in the rice ball carefully.

She hadn’t eaten good meat for a long time.

Although Su An had killed a wild boar before, their family shared the wild boar meat, but she didn’t get any of the wild boar meat at home.

Now that she tasted the meat, Wang Xiaohua’s eyes were red with emotion.

Such a good thing, she didn’t expect Su An to be willing to give it to her.

Sister Su An is really the best person she has ever met.

After Wang Xiaohua finished eating the rice ball, Su An asked, “You often don’t have enough to eat? Your parents don’t give you food?”

Wang Xiaohua nodded with red eyes.

“Why don’t they give you food?”

Su An just asked, and saw a child stand up and said, “Sister Su An, Wang Xiaohua’s biological mother died, and her stepmother doesn’t care about her.”

Su An heard this explanation and immediately understood.

It was originally poor in this era, and with a stepmother, it would be strange to have food.

As for why Wang Xiaohua’s biological father didn’t care about her?

With a stepmother, there is a stepfather, of course, he is unreliable.

If such a young child continues to be hungry, he will starve to death sooner or later.

Su An went to find Wang Weihua and told him about this matter, hoping that the captain could communicate with Wang Xiaohua’s biological father and stepmother.

Wang Weihua sighed, “I have known about Wang Xiaohua’s situation for a long time, and I have communicated with the couple a lot, but it didn’t work.

The couple is shameless and doesn’t care what others think or say. In addition, it is their private matter after all.

As the captain, I can only say a few words to them at most, how can I intervene in everything? Many biological children don’t have enough food to eat. They don’t give Wang Xiaohua food, and I really can’t do anything about it.”

Su An didn’t expect this to be the case.

It’s really hard to deal with shameless people.

But Su An still wanted to take care of Wang Xiaohua’s matter.

So Su An said to Wang Weihua, “Captain, go and tell this couple now. If they don’t give Wang Xiaohua food in the future, they won’t share the game I hunt in the mountains.

The game I hunt is for the conscientious team members, not for this wicked couple.”

Wang Weihua heard what Su An said, and said, “Okay, I will go and communicate with Wang Xiaohua’s parents to see if it can be done.”

Wang Weihua said, and told Wang Xiaohua’s parents.

However, Su An’s threat had little effect.

Wang Xiaohua’s biological father and stepmother felt that even if Su An could help the Yutou Village Production Team hunt, how much could he hunt?

It was good for them to get a share once a month, but it was different to feed Wang Xiaohua, because it would cost food every day.

Su An was also worried that Wang Xiaohua’s parents would not be able to convince her, so she told Wang Xiaohua,

Xiaohua, if your parents don’t give you food, come to your sister.”

Even if a little bit of food leaked through Su An’s fingers, it would be enough for the child to eat.

Wang Xiaohua was moved and her eyes were red. “Sister Su An, you are so good to me, better than my father.”

Su An’s mouth twitched, don’t compare her with her beastly father.
