Chapter 181: Freeloader

"That's a must! It has been verified by the research institute, so Miss Zhang should be credited with the greatest credit." Wei Xu looked at Zhang Chenjun with a somewhat flattering smile.

Zhang Chenjun rolled her eyes at Wei Xu. Ever since Wu Chenhao was transferred away, Wei Xu seemed to have changed into a different person. He became more and more attached to her, and his words were especially sweet, which made her feel...

Wei Xu looked at Zhang Chenjun's blushing face, smiled and said nothing more.

----------

At the Xiao family, Mother Xiao was heartbroken as she watched her grandson, who was only a few months old, crying non-stop. "Tell me, how come we, a big family, can't even get a portion of spices? Look at the child bitten by mosquitoes. There's almost no healthy flesh on his face. Don't you, as parents, know how to keep an eye on him at night?"

Xiao Fei said unhappily, "I'm so tired from work during the day, and I fall asleep immediately at night. How can I take care of the children? Besides, I have mosquito bites all over my face and body, which is not much better than his."

Mother Xiao was furious. "What you said is not human language. Xiaobao is your son, your own son, and you don't care about him. Look, the child's voice is almost hoarse from crying."

Xiao Fei didn't like this kid in the first place, and he became even more impatient when he heard him crying endlessly, "I don't care, whoever wants to care can care, there is someone else eating for free at home, can't you comfort your son?"

Chen Jin didn't expect Xiao Fei to say that to him, and instantly felt bitter, "I do housework and take care of the children at home every day, how can you say that I am a freeloader?

I didn't go to work to earn money, but I gave birth to a child for you. If I went to work, who would take care of the child?

Besides, I made your lunch and washed your clean clothes. Anyone can despise me, but Xiao Fei, I gave birth to your children and I lost my job for you. Why do you despise me?"

"What do you mean you lost your job because of me? It was obviously because you didn't perform well that you were fired. After that, you stayed at home the whole time. It was our Xiao family who supported you. Chen Jin, you can't be so heartless. We in the Xiao family don't support ungrateful people."

Chen Jin looked at Xiao Fei, as if he had never known this person. Why on earth had they come to this point? Chen Jin suddenly wanted to leave this home.

But she looked down at her son in her arms and wondered how she would live once she left this home?

Leave my son to the Xiao family? Looking at their cold and indifferent appearance, they won't take good care of my son.

Bring it with you? Then you probably won't even be able to find a job.

She now has no money, no house, and no job, and she has to admit that once she leaves home, she may not be able to survive.

Xiao's mother felt a little uncomfortable looking at Chen Jin's sad and desperate expression. She thought back to when her son and Chen Jin were so sweet and loving. What happened that they were worse than strangers now?

But the mother is biased towards her son. "Ajin, you should sleep more when we are at home during the day, and take care of Xiaobao at night. After all, he is your flesh and blood. Seeing Xiaobao being bitten like this, how can you not feel distressed?"

Of course Chen Jin felt distressed, but she had to do so much work every day besides taking care of the children, and she was also very tired. She wanted to watch out for mosquitoes for the children at night, but as soon as she lay down on the bed, she was so sleepy that she couldn't open her eyes.

Father Xiao glanced at Chen Jin who was listless and silent, and then glanced at Mother Xiao and Xiao Fei who were still chattering. It looked like they were bullying the little girl.

Father Xiao sighed and said, "I can get a box of mosquito coils this month. I'll let them light them up at night."

"It's not like I haven't lit it before. The mosquito coils are useless. The point is, I don't know what's wrong with the mosquitoes this year. They are so fierce. One bite will hurt for ten days."

"Okay, stop talking. It's hard to get this mosquito coil. Who doesn't have mosquitoes this year? Just bear with it and it will pass."

In fact, Xiao's mother knew that Xiao Fei and Chen Jin were not to blame for the mosquito incident, but she felt distressed to see her little grandson suffering, "Why is he still crying? Did he poop or are you hungry?"

Mother Xiao touched the diaper and said, "No, it looks like he's hungry!"

Xiao's mother pulled Xiao's father out of the bedroom. Before leaving, she said to Chen Jin, "Hurry up and feed Xiaobao. Letting the child cry like this, is his voice gone? This mother really has no idea."

After the door slammed shut, Chen Jin ignored Xiao Fei's murderous gaze and unbuttoned her clothes to feed Xiaobao.

But Xiaobao kept sucking for a long time but didn't get anything, so Xiaobao started crying again, even harder than before.

Xiao's mother could hear Xiaobao crying through the door, "What's wrong? What's wrong? Why is Xiaobao crying even louder? Did you drop Xiaobao?"

"Mom, it's okay!" Xiao Fei heard the anxiety in her mother's voice and spoke quickly.

In fact, Xiao Fei didn't know what was going on, but he saw clearly that Chen Jin didn't do anything. Xiaobao just sniffed twice and then started crying.

Xiao Fei looked at Chen Jin in confusion. Chen Jin's eyes turned red and he said aggrievedly, "I, I seem to have stopped breastfeeding."

Xiao Fei didn't know what Chen Jin meant, so he shouted out the door, "Mom, Chen Jin's milk is weaning."

At this point, Xiao's mother didn't care whether her daughter-in-law was breastfeeding or not. She opened the door and yelled, "Oh my God, it's only been a few months and your milk has dried up. What are you going to let my little baby eat, you wicked thing? Now is not the same as before. I can buy you some pig's trotters and crucian carp to increase your milk supply. Tell me, tell me, how is my little baby going to live in the future!"

Chen Jin felt so sad watching Xiao's mother crying and wiping tears. She was also heartbroken that her son had nothing to eat, but what right did Xiao's mother say that to her? Her milk withdrawal was due to too much pressure at home every day, not enough rest, and too much work. Moreover, she didn't say anything even though she didn't take good care of herself after the confinement period!

"Mom, what do we do now?"

"What else can we do? Go to the market and see if we can buy pig's trotters or crucian carp. It's okay if there are no big bones. I'm just worried that you'll run around all day and not even be able to buy bone residue. If Chen Jin has no milk in the future, our little baby will only be able to drink rice soup.

Our little treasure has a hard life. Nowadays, there are no children who grow up eating rice soup!"

"She was still able to drink milk powder, how did she fall to the point of drinking rice soup?" Upon hearing her mother's crying, Xiao's father also went into the bedroom.

Chen Jin had straightened her collar when Xiao's mother came in. She was not exposed when Xiao's father came in, but her cheeks felt a little hot when her father-in-law knew about these private matters.

"It's easy for you to say that. It's not that easy to buy milk powder these days. Didn't Xiao Fei go out to buy some when Xiaobao was just born? Normally, newborns are given a bucket of milk powder every month, but Xiao Fei went there several times and they were all out of stock. If you don't have some connections, you really can't buy it.

There were so many people waiting to drink it, it was sold out as soon as it was put on the shelves!"
