Born as a space beast, Shi Chu possessed a strong sense of self-preservation and was inherently selfish. She revelled in luxury, indulging in fine food and clothing. She rejected phrases like “su...
Chapter 718: My Daughter is the Heroine Who Runs Away with the Baby (7)
Jiang Zhuyin felt very uncomfortable after hearing her "comforting" words, but she had nothing to say. After all, her mother had been able to get through it before, so why couldn't she do it now?
Zhou Shichu talked to Jiang Zhuyin in a tea-like manner, feeling happy. Jiang Zhuyin thought being a single mother was so easy? Let her experience it now, and suffer a little, so that she wouldn't be so naive.
If she regretted it, she could have contacted the biological father or aborted the child, but why did she come to her mother? Did she think it was easier to pick on the weak, or that her mother was easier to squeeze? And she had no worries at all?
But did her mother owe her anything? Was she being exploited like this?
Zhou Shichu was too impatient to deal with Jiang Zhuyin, so he said to her: "Zhuyin, don't worry, the difficulties are only temporary. As long as you get through this period, everything will be fine in the future. Mom was like this before. Your father died when you were just born. I had to take care of you alone in sadness and pain, but didn't I get through it step by step? Mom believes you can do it too."
Jiang Zhuyin opened her mouth and wanted to tell her mother: I can't, but she couldn't say it, so she had to force a smile and said that she would find a way to solve the problem, then hung up the phone.
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Zhuyin looked at the balance in her mobile phone, bit her lip, and her eyes became red. She touched her bulging belly and said, "Baby, Mommy is in a difficult situation now. I don't know what to do... Your grandma can't help me..."
Jiang Zhuyin thought of her mother who just kept encouraging her but never offered her a helping hand. She didn't know why, but she always felt that her mother should do her best to help her. However, the reality was that she didn't get any help from her at all. Jiang Zhuyin felt very wronged, and couldn't help but blame Zhou Shichu in her heart, blaming her for being too cold and heartless to her.
However, when she realized that she was resentful of her mother because she couldn't help her, she was shocked, ashamed and uneasy, thinking how could she think like that? Her mother loved her very much and only left because of health reasons. How could she blame her mother for this?
Jiang Zhuyin felt extremely guilty about her own thoughts. She was considerate and kind to others, so how could she be so harsh to her own mother?
Feeling guilty and remorseful, Jiang Zhuyin never dared to disturb Zhou Shichu again, for fear that the dark resentment and dissatisfaction in her subconscious would involuntarily invade her heart again.
Zhou Shichu had no idea that his adopted daughter had thought so much. She started growing flowers and plants in her hometown, intending to sell them to make money. This was her old profession, and there was no doubt that the flowers and plants she grew would grow badly.
Her current identity is that of an ordinary middle-aged woman with no education or cultural background. It is impossible for her to find a job that is too inconsistent with her identity. However, it is different with growing flowers and plants. After all, she was a farmer 20 years ago and knew how to farm. If she changes to growing flowers and plants now, it can be said that it is her talent for farming and it will not arouse too much suspicion.
The original owner's husband's family had land. After she took her daughter out to work, she gave the land to a family in the village for rent. However, that family moved to the county town many years ago, so the land was naturally no longer cultivated. The original owner's land became barren, and Zhou Shichu only started to tidy it up when he came back this time.
Of course, Zhou Shichu, who loves to enjoy life but doesn't like to endure hardships, would not work hard with a hoe by herself. She would either use machines or hire some of the remaining strong laborers in the village to help. Anyway, small agricultural machinery is now popular, and Zhou Shichu is very good at using various convenient tools.
Some of the flowers and plants she planted were bought from outside, but most of them were transplanted from her own companion space. After all, the quality of those in her space is better.
In addition to the flowers planted in the fields at home, she also planted a lot of flowers in her yard. They were planted after special design. She could imagine how dreamy and beautiful her yard would be after it was planted.
Jiang Zhuyin, who lives alone in the city with a big belly, is far from as comfortable as her mother. She is already in the late stage of pregnancy, and her belly is so big that she can't even see her feet when she lowers her head. Changing shoes every morning is a difficult task, not to mention that she has to go to work and do housework every day.
When she was only a few months old, she looked so haggard that she seemed to be ten years older. Coupled with the weight gain during pregnancy and various skin blemishes, she turned from a pretty and graceful little beauty into a "middle-aged woman" with a hunchback and a big belly. This made her very upset. The pressure of life was already difficult for her to endure, but the changes in her appearance and figure made her even more painful. She often couldn't help but break down and cry, and couldn't understand why she had fallen to this point.
But did she really not understand? All this was because she was pregnant but she was not able to provide for herself and the child. If she was not pregnant, or if she was pregnant but had a strong working ability and could make a lot of money, she could have hired a nanny to take care of her life, and she would not have to live such a miserable and hard life.
Maybe she already understood it, but she had come to this point and there was no way to turn back even if she regretted it. She could only bite the bullet and continue on.
"Zhuyin, you are pregnant and about to give birth, right? Why don't you take a vacation? Our company is not busy anyway, so you can start your maternity leave early." The HR manager was worried about Jiang Zhuyin every time he saw her coming to work with a big belly.
When Jiang Zhuyin heard her suggestion, her dull eyes suddenly brightened up: "Can I take maternity leave early? Will that affect my vacation after giving birth?"
"No, don't worry." The HR manager shook his head and said, "I see your belly is too big, you should go to the hospital as soon as possible. By the way, have you prepared everything for the birth? Have you prepared the baby's clothes, milk and other necessities in advance?"
Jiang Zhuyin froze for a moment. After the HR manager reminded her, she realized that she had not yet prepared clothes and milk powder for the baby. She panicked: "I, I forgot to prepare clothes and milk powder..."
The HR manager was a little surprised: "You're not ready yet? Your family members didn't help you prepare?"
"I have no family here...my mother went back to her hometown..." Jiang Zhuyin said dejectedly.
"What about your husband?" the HR manager asked. "The child is also your husband's. Your husband can't just ignore everything, right?"
Jiang Zhuyin could no longer maintain the expression on her face. She lowered her head and blushed as she said, "I, I don't have a husband, and the father of my child is not with me..."
