This is certainly not a bad thing, after all, having ambition is a good thing.
The problem is that she didn't care about her health at all after she got pregnant. She continued to work overtime and stay up late, not taking her body seriously.
The man and his parents had tried to persuade her about this countless times, but she always brushed them off with "I know what I'm doing."
She was pregnant, and they didn't want to interfere too much with her, lest it affect her mood and thus the baby in her womb.
The man's family cherishes this child very much, as it appears to be his only child, and the whole family eagerly awaits the child's arrival.
But when women are careless about their bodies, all they can do is try to persuade them and give them some nourishing supplements.
The man's parents, with their traditional mindset, actually wanted a grandson the most.
They originally planned to take the woman to a friend's house for a secret check-up to see if she was carrying a boy or a girl.
Upon hearing this, the woman immediately questioned them about whether they favored boys over girls, saying that if so, she wouldn't have the baby and would tell them to go outside and bring back a boy instead.
Upon hearing this, the man and his family were terrified that the woman would actually do such a thing, and immediately dared not say anything more.
No matter how good the boy outside is, he is not related by blood and is definitely not as good as the one in your own family.
However, the woman's words still served as a wake-up call for the man and his family.
They realized that the woman seemed to be very casual about the baby in her belly, and they were afraid that she would do something to the baby if she was unhappy. So the family went directly to the woman's parents to put pressure on them, and asked the in-laws to persuade the woman to take leave in advance and rest assured to take care of the baby.
The woman's parents also felt that their daughter was not young anymore, getting pregnant with her first child in her thirties, and with her being so busy, it would be such a pity if something unexpected happened to her.
So both sides of the family put pressure on the child at the same time, and even the woman's parents cried and made a fuss, using all kinds of methods.
This finally drove the woman to the brink of despair, leading her to take a vacation.
But she was used to being busy and working, and she didn't feel comfortable stopping.
In addition, the man's family, and even her parents, talked to her almost every day about the baby in her belly, emphasizing how important the child was and that she must treat it well.
They also began to restrict women's activities, telling them not to do this or that, that eating these things would be bad for them, and that eating that thing would affect the child, and so on.
Everyone, under the guise of caring about her and the baby in her belly, kept putting shackles on her.
Over time, the woman's mindset was completely affected.
She started to become increasingly irritable, getting angry and throwing tantrums over the smallest things.
Even when she hears a group of people "advising" and "instructing" her, she can't help but feel rebellious and will deliberately go against them.
During that time, everyone who saw her would wear an indescribable expression, as if to say—
Everyone has been so good to you, why are you so ungrateful and willful?
As her due date approached, her temper became more and more irritable, and she would show her displeasure to the man and his family from time to time.
One day, the man and his parents endured it again and again, but finally couldn't help but get angry.
They told her in front of the woman that if it weren't for the fact that she was carrying their family's child, who would bother to serve her!
He also implied that if she gave birth to a daughter this time, that woman would truly owe them for all their hard work and sacrifices.
This time, a fierce argument broke out between the two sides.
During the argument, the woman's intense emotions affected her health, causing her to give birth prematurely.
Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a daughter.
Upon hearing the nurse's message, the man and his parents' expressions instantly soured.
But with so many people around, they couldn't make it too obvious.
It was only when the woman was wheeled out of the delivery room and the nurses called the family to take care of her that he revealed his true emotions to the woman in the hospital bed.
After the child was born, the man's family, as they had said before, no longer cared about the woman's well-being or took care of her affairs. Even the most basic care became extremely perfunctory.
