After being replaced, she changed from a miserable daughter-in-law to a lucky wife

Chapter 423 Grandma Yu

The yard is not big and is in ruins everywhere. There are only three houses, and the rest of the houses are just left with collapsed walls and roofs.

The kitchen is outside the house and has only a simple roof, which could be blown away by a strong wind.

The furnishings in the house can be seen at a glance: a table, two stools, and two beds made of wooden boards and stones against the wall.

I don’t know how many times the bedding on the bed has been mended. There is not a single spot that has not been mended. The cotton wool inside has balled up and huddled in the corner.

The old lady came into the house and saw him still standing outside: "What are you standing there for? Come in!"

"Oh oh!" Xia Wanniang walked into the house.

The old lady pointed to the empty wooden bed next to her and said, "You can stay there! We don't have any extra bedding at home."

"It's okay, I'm wearing warm clothes and I brought a blanket with me." After saying that, Xia Wanniang took out a blanket from her backpack.

The old lady just took a look and didn't say anything. She walked to the wooden bed next to her, lay down, and pulled the quilt over herself.

Xia Wanniang was lying on the wooden bed, and every time she moved she made some noise.

Grandma: “Can’t sleep?”

"A little bit." Xia Wanniang turned her head and looked at the old woman next to her: "Grandma, where are your family members?"

There was no movement for a long time, and I thought she wouldn't answer, but then I heard her calm voice: "Dead."

Xia Wanniang: "I'm sorry."

Grandma: "No need to say sorry, they are all heroes in my heart."

"Hero?" Xia Wanniang was a little curious.

"They died fighting for Daxia." The old lady said nothing more.

There was some shock on Xia Wanniang's face. This old lady was a soldier's family member and should receive a pension if she died in battle. And from what she said, it seemed that more than one person died in battle.

Under such conditions, where is her pension?

When she woke up, there was a bowl of porridge on the table.

"Let's go after eating. The earlier you go, the earlier you can go back." The old lady's voice came from outside.

After Xia Wanniang got up, washed, and sat down to drink some porridge.

The old lady was carrying a backpack and said, "Just close the door when you leave." After she said that, she walked out the door.

Xia Wanniang was speechless when she saw her leaving a stranger at home and just leaving like that.

After she finished her porridge, she took out thicker bedding, cotton clothes, cotton boots, rice, flour, grain and oil from the space, and left ten taels of silver.

When I came out of the old lady's house, I saw several children from the village stretching their heads to look at her.

Xia Wanniang deliberately let Lai Fu stick out a little head.

Sure enough, after a while, the children around stopped hiding and ran over bravely one by one: "Uncle, are you Grandma Yu's family member?" While speaking, they kept looking at the Lai Fu in his hand.

Xia Wanniang shook her head: "I'm just passing by and staying overnight. Do you know where Grandma Yu's family is?"

The children looked at each other in silence.

Xia Wanniang looked at the children and said, "Tell me, and I will let Lai Fu play with you for a while."

Several children looked at the rifle in his hand with sparkling eyes.

Lai Fu: I’m just a tool fox?

Xia Wanniang turned her head away and pretended not to see its sad look.

An older child reached out and touched Lai Fu and said, "I only heard from my grandfather that all of Grandma Yu's family members died in the war."

Another girl nodded and said, "Yes, Grandma Yu is a very nice person. She will help anyone in the village who has difficulties."

"Yes, yes, she also taught us how to read."

Xia Wanniang listened to the children talking at once: "Doesn't Grandma Yu have any other relatives?"

Several children shook their heads: "We have met her relatives, but it seems that she is always alone."

Xia Wanniang let Lai Fu play with them for a while, and when all the necessary information had been collected, she said goodbye to them.

Although the children were reluctant to leave, they still waved goodbye to her.

Grandma Yu came back carrying a backpack and saw Xia Wanniang's back as she left the village from afar. She frowned slightly: Why is she leaving now?

Several children were playing in the village. When they saw Grandma Yu, they smiled and greeted her: "Grandma Yu, your guest has left. She asked us to tell you that she thanks you for your hospitality."
