Lu Shijing smiled and said, "I didn't help much, I just made a phone call. It all depends on you."

Although he said this, Lu Shijing was very happy in his heart. Shengsheng praised me... Does Shengsheng have a good impression of me now?

Gu Shengsheng continued to ask, "Just now I saw that your walking posture was a little stiff. Were you standing there the whole time?"

"Yeah." He nodded, "Watch your live broadcast."

Then he thought about it and felt that this was too dry, so he added: "It looks very good."

He spoke seriously yet somewhat uncomfortably.

He was originally a person who didn't like to express himself much, but now that he knew those "Rules for Chasing a Wife" on the Internet, he forced himself to talk more.

Gu Shengsheng: “…”

In comparison, today was indeed very smooth and all the things that needed to be done were completed successfully.

The only thing I’m worried about now is Mrs. Ma. There’s no problem with giving birth, but what about the future?

While deep in thought, the two of them arrived at the hospital and went to the door of the ward according to the address given by Ma Yaowen.

Ma Yaowen just came back from buying porridge.

Said: "Mr. Lu, Miss Gu. You are here!"

Gu Shengsheng asked, "How is Madam Ma? Is she okay?"

"Fortunately, the child was born. It's a very beautiful girl. She looks very much like my wife." Ma Yaowen's face was full of pride.

"Luckily, Miss Gu, I'm sure I wouldn't be able to come and accompany her during the birthing process. You did a great job." Ma Yaowen's face was full of admiration and gratitude.

Gu Shengsheng shook his head: "This is what I should do, Mr. Ma."

"It's just that I think you should think about a question now."

"The problem with your wife and your mother. I'm sure you already know the whole story of what happened today. Your mother wanted your child to be born on the first day of the lunar calendar, and she also wanted Madam Ma to have a Caesarian section. And then there are all those superstitious things."

"She wanted a boy, but Mrs. Ma gave birth to a girl. This is also a contradiction."

"So, what will you do about these things?" Gu Shengsheng really wanted to hear Ma Yaowen's opinion.

After all, before this, Gu Shengsheng also agreed that the reason why the conflict between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law was so serious was largely due to her son's inaction.

Ma Yaowen hesitated: "Ms. Gu, I... don't know."

After hearing this, Gu Shengsheng said nothing and continued to wait for him to speak with his hands folded.

"One is my mother, and the other is my wife. When our child died in the womb, my mother was devastated. Now she has done something like this. I don't know what to do."

"Fortunately, my wife is safe. I think if I talk to my mother properly in the future, she will change."

Gu Shengsheng had expected this.

She was a little disappointed, but also understood. Everyone chooses a different lifestyle.

Just as I was about to turn around and leave, the nurse in the ward came out with a cart and said, "Come in, the patient wants to talk to you."

"I'm in good spirits right now."

Gu Shengsheng nodded, and the three of them went in.

After entering, Gu Shengsheng saw Madam Ma lying on the bed with a haggard face and pale lips. Perhaps she had exerted too much force, her eyes were full of bloodshot.

Gu Shengsheng tugged at her cold hand distressedly. "Rest well," he said.

Madam Ma nodded, looking at Gu Shengsheng with a face full of gratitude: "Miss Gu, my daughter and I really should be grateful to you for the rest of our lives."

"It's okay, it's okay. It's just a small favor. I can't afford it." Gu Shengsheng said quickly.

Then Madam Ma looked at her husband, hesitant to speak, and said, "I heard what you said outside."

Ma Yaowen sighed: "I will ask my mother to apologize to you for this matter."

"She didn't do this right!"

Madam Ma lowered her eyelids. "I know. I also thought you would solve it this way."

"But, Yao Wen, you never know what it feels like to be on the verge of death. You never know that your mother is going to drive me to death."

"For so long, I truly considered her a mother, but in her eyes, I was just an insignificant outsider."

Seeing that she was so excited that she was going crazy, Ma Yaowen hurried over and hugged her.

While patting her back to comfort her, he said, "It's okay, it's okay..."

She cried desperately, and Gu Shengsheng could feel that she seemed to want to cry out all the grievances she had suffered recently.

But this despair was also tinged with sadness. Ma Yaowen didn't understand that as a husband, he had failed to protect his wife, and now even the compensation seemed so insignificant.

As outsiders, Gu Shengsheng and Lu Shijing didn't say much. This matter depends on them.

Then Madam Ma said, "I think I'll go back when I'm in confinement."

"I'll go back, and after the three-month cooling-off period, we'll get divorced."

After saying this, Ma Yaowen paused and asked, "What did you say?"

"I told you, you really have to understand Mom. The child's matter was a big shock to her. Anyway, no one is in trouble now, so everything is fine, right?"

Madam Ma was suddenly excited: "All right? Just because nothing happened to me, the person who made the mistake doesn't need to be punished?"

"Ma Yaowen, I even thought to myself, I want the two of us to move out and take care of Mom regularly, or send Mother-in-law to a nursing home. I think that's fine."

"But... you never mentioned it. I think my requests were never excessive. I have always been a good wife and a good daughter-in-law. But in the end, I had nothing."

"I don't want the baby I give birth to to be disliked by his own grandmother and treated differently by his family. It's not easy for girls to begin with, why should they be treated like this by your mother?"

"So, for the sake of my children, I want a divorce."

Ma Yaowen wanted to speak, but Madam Ma said, "Let's go. I want to be alone."

"Shengsheng, thank you so much. Please stay. I want to talk to you alone for a while."

Gu Shengsheng nodded.

Then he said, "Mrs. Ma, you're getting divorced like this. Have you really thought about your future life?"

"I've thought it through." Madam Ma nodded. "After my near-death experience, I've made up my mind. Otherwise, if I had stayed in that house, I'd have gone mad sooner or later and jumped off the building with my child in my arms."

"Since I know the result will be bad, I won't force it." She seemed to have finally let it go.

Gu Shengsheng nodded and gave her a hug: "If you need any help in the future, you can come to me."

"Okay." Madam Ma took her hand, "Shengsheng, that person next to you must be Mr. Lu, right?"

"You can tell that he loves you very much."

When Gu Shengsheng heard these words, she felt a little uneasy.

"Perhaps the bond between him and me is even shallower." (End of this chapter)
