Chapter 731: My Daughter is the Heroine Who Runs Away with the Baby (20)

Jiang Zhuyin rushed to the hospital after get off work. Before she had time to see the child, Aunt Lin grabbed her hand and said, "Zhuyin, go and pay the medical bills. The nurse has urged you."

"Ah? Okay, I'll go right away." Jiang Zhuyin then hurried to pay the money, but unfortunately she didn't even have the time to take a look at the child.

After she paid the money and finally returned to the ward, Aunt Lin said to her embarrassedly: "Zhu Yin, my daughter-in-law urged me to go home, so I will go back first. By the way, Jiang Mu has already had an injection. The doctor said that we need to pay more attention to him at night. If he has a fever again, we must call the doctor immediately."

"I understand. Thank you, Aunt Lin. If it weren't for you, I don't know what I would do..." Jiang Zhuyin said to Aunt Lin with great gratitude.

Aunt Lin looked at her, her face somewhat embarrassed, and she seemed to be hesitant to speak.

Jiang Zhuyin immediately asked with concern: "Aunt Lin, do you have anything else to tell me?"

Aunt Lin immediately made up her mind, gritted her teeth, and confessed: "My daughter-in-law is not happy that I help you take care of the child. She said that since you like helping others take care of children so much, you might as well become a nanny or babysitter and earn money... I'm sorry, I can't help you in the future, can you think of a way yourself? It's not good for the child to keep doing this..."

When Jiang Zhuyin heard her words, her heart sank suddenly, and she could no longer maintain the smile on her face. But she had no choice, because Aunt Lin had been helping her take care of the child for free, and her daughter-in-law had clearly stated that she didn't want Aunt Lin to help her. Could Jiang Zhuyin still force others?

"Aunt Lin, I still have to thank you. After all, you have helped me for so long, and you have no obligation to help me take care of the child. I am already very grateful to you. Don't worry, I will find a way myself." Jiang Zhuyin said with a forced smile.

Aunt Lin left soon. Jiang Zhuyin looked at her son's sleeping little body on the hospital bed and felt lost and at a loss. The future was bleak and all the things in life made her physically and mentally exhausted. She had already regretted that she had to give birth to his child for this illusory lover and put herself in this isolated and helpless situation. Was it really worth it?

Jiang Zhuyin couldn't help but lower her head, covering her face tightly with both hands, silently shedding hot tears.

However, misfortunes never come singly. The next day, Jiang Zhuyin finally found another neighbor and gave her money to ask her to take care of Jiang Mu temporarily, but this delayed her time, so she was late again.

This time she was not as lucky as before. She was caught by the big boss and directly asked the Human Resources Department to fire her because it was not the first time she was late and she kept doing it after being reminded many times. Although it was understandable, the company was not a charity and the boss was a cold-blooded capitalist, so Jiang Zhuyin lost her job.

Now, she finally doesn't have to worry about who will take care of her children while she is at work, and she also has three months of severance pay, which will last her for a while.

But the bad thing is that she lost her only source of income, and even if she received severance pay, it would only be wasted.

Jiang Zhuyin returned home in a daze and cried for a while. Then she wiped her tears and went to the neighbor's house to pick up her child.

When she came back with the child, she happened to meet Aunt Lin's daughter-in-law Liu Gui. When Liu Gui saw that it was Jiang Zhuyin, she pretended not to see her. When she passed by her, she deliberately snorted coldly and said in a gloomy tone:

"Some women are just cheap. Not only do they give birth to a bastard whose father is unknown at a young age, but they also choose not to take care of the child themselves and leave it to the neighbors to take care of! I don't know where they got the audacity to let strangers who have no relatives or friends take care of the child. They really can't get enough of the advantage. Ugh! What a cheap bitch!"

Jiang Zhuyin knew without thinking that Liu Gui was scolding her. Her face suddenly became hot, and she felt ashamed and embarrassed, as if she had been stripped naked and humiliated in public.

She lowered her head and hugged the child tightly, trying hard not to cry. Her emotions were in turmoil and she wished there was a hole on the spot for her to crawl into.

Liu Gui's words were too harsh. Jiang Zhuyin knew before that society always looked at single mothers who got pregnant before marriage with strange eyes, as if they had no self-respect and were on the wrong path.

But no one had ever expressed it to her face before. Her colleagues were all well-educated people and did not care much about her having a child before marriage, so she had never felt discriminated against as a single mother.

But this time Liu Gui showed it nakedly in front of her, and she could no longer deceive herself.

Jiang Zhuyin almost collapsed. She was not a very strong person to begin with. Being able to give birth to and raise a child alone during this period of time was already the limit forced by reality. Now she was being humiliated like this. She almost didn't want to live anymore.

She ran back home in embarrassment, put the child down, and threw herself on the bed and burst into tears, not caring that Jiang Mu also started crying.

But after crying, life had to go on. The next day, Jiang Zhuyin started looking for a job that would allow her to bring her child to work with her, carrying her child on her back.

There is always a way out, and she really did find a job in a nursery. The director felt sorry for her and agreed to let her bring her child to work. Although Jiang Mu was less than one year old, he was only a few months younger than the youngest child in the nursery. She could take care of him if she was more careful. However, her salary was lower than that of other teachers. Jiang Zhuyin did not dare to be picky, after all, this was the most suitable job for her current situation.

Zhou Shichu hasn't received any calls from Jiang Zhuyin complaining or asking for help for a long time. Perhaps Jiang Zhuyin has faced the reality and her mother will not help her anymore.

Unexpectedly, just over a month after Zhou Shichu sighed like this, he saw the mother and son returning home exhausted and in a disheveled state.

"Why are you back?" Zhou Shichu asked in shock, unable to believe his eyes.

"Mom, I just want to bring the child back to see you... You haven't seen the child since he was born..." Jiang Zhuyin said with an evasive look.

Zhou Shichu immediately chuckled and said, "Then come in."

Then he let her into the courtyard.

When Jiang Zhuyin saw the elegant courtyard filled with flowers, she widened her eyes in surprise: "Is this our courtyard?"

"Of course." Zhou Shichu said with a smile.

Jiang Zhuyin couldn't help but stop and take a look. This yard was exactly what she had imagined, perfectly capturing the dreams of every romantic and dreamy girl!

Jiang Zhuyin had graduated from elementary school when she followed her mother to study in the city, so she still remembers what her yard looked like originally. It was just an ordinary farmyard, shabby and inconspicuous, without any special features. But now, this yard has transformed from an ugly duckling into a white swan.
