After listening to Lin Yu's words, Ding Xiang also realized that she shouldn't always keep her grievances to herself and hurt herself.
"Yes, I'll have a good talk with him when he gets back."
Seeing that she was in a much better mood, Lin Yu felt relieved when she left.
"If you're feeling down, you can come visit our brigade if you have time, just like visiting relatives."
Dingxiang has lived in the city since she was a child and has never had the opportunity to go to the countryside.
Hearing this, I became somewhat interested.
"Then I'll really come visit you then. I'm quite curious to see what your factory is like."
Lin Yu welcomed her: "You can come anytime. We're building a new factory now, so come and visit and give us your feedback."
After all, she grew up in the factory area and was quite familiar with the factory buildings and dormitories.
Dingxiang smiled and said, "I don't know anything about those things, but I can visit."
After seeing Lin Yu off and returning home, Dingxiang's mood had brightened considerably.
There are so many people like Lin Yu in this world who are still working hard and striving, and she wants to learn from them.
Try to broaden your mind and don't get bogged down in trivial matters.
As long as you are determined enough and move towards the life you want to live, what is there to be sad about?
So when Zhou Jinian returned home after visiting his parents, he found that his wife's attitude had changed.
He understood his wife's grievances during this time and tried his best to comfort her, even suggesting that he could get a tubal ligation.
But his wife could never let go.
Seeing that she was getting more and more haggard, Zhou Jinian finally decided to go home and explain things to his parents.
He told his parents that he only wanted Niu Niu as his child and would never have any more children, and that they should not bother his wife anymore.
When he returned to his parents' house, he discovered that the reason his parents were so eager for him to have another child was all because his sister-in-law was stirring things up.
She has several children of her own, does not work, and has been staying at home taking care of the children.
So they can't stand seeing Dingxiang only have one child, which is easy for her, and she can still go to work.
So she would often incite her elderly mother to make trouble, urging Dingxiang to have another child so that she could take over the work if Dingxiang got pregnant.
This time, Zhou Jinian has completely broken ties with his elder brother and sister-in-law.
Tell them that the two families will share the cost of their parents' retirement in the future, and that they will not concern themselves with anything else.
He won't need his older brother's children to support him in his old age, and his son Niu Niu won't have any connection with his uncle and aunt.
The family finally realized that Zhou Jinian was serious this time, and no one dared to say anything more.
The eldest sister-in-law had complaints, but seeing Zhou Huanian's expression, she didn't dare to say anything.
There's nothing she can do; if she doesn't go to work, she'll have to be at the mercy of others.
Seeing his wife's relaxed expression, Zhou Jinian told her about these things.
Dingxiang finally understood why her mother-in-law was in such a hurry for her to have a child. It turned out that someone was taking advantage of her kind heart and stirring things up.
Actually, she wasn't close to Zhou Jinian's sister-in-law; they only spent a few days together during the Chinese New Year each year.
My sister-in-law often says she envies her for having a job and not having to live a life of dependence.
But she never expected that jealousy would lead someone to do something so irrational.
And it almost made her feel uncomfortable and frustrated.
Dingxiang sighed and shook her head: "Oh well, it's only mediocre if you don't attract jealousy. The fact that she's jealous of me means that what I'm doing now is the right thing to do, otherwise I'd end up like her."
It might be more than that. With my health like this, if something happens to me when I have another child, this family will fall apart.
Zhou Jinian raised an eyebrow: "How did you suddenly come to this realization?"
He clearly saw that Dingxiang looked depressed before he left.
Dingxiang then told Zhou Jinian what Lin Yu had said to her: "I think I need to keep a good mood."
This is the first time I've heard of breast nodules. If I keep all this bottled up inside, I'll get sick. And if I die then, you'll have to find Niu Niu a stepmother.
Zhou Jinian sternly criticized: "Comrade Dingxiang, how could you speculate about your husband like that? I am not that kind of person, and you will not die. Don't talk nonsense."
This was the first time he had heard of such an illness, but he knew that a prolonged period of negative emotions would definitely affect one's health.
In addition, Dingxiang's health was damaged when she gave birth to Niu Niu, so her constitution wasn't good.
Zhou Jinian became even more nervous. He made up his mind that he would never let his wife suffer any more grievances in the future.
Seeing his anxious expression, Dingxiang felt comforted and said, "I was just saying that. I promise I'll keep a good mood from now on and never let myself feel resentful again. So next time your mother or sister-in-law says those things to me, I won't hold back."
I used to think I should just put up with it for my husband's sake, but now I realize how foolish I was.
What's the value of a husband's pride? If she's bullied terribly and gets angry to death in the future, won't her husband remarry?
If a stepmother is born, a stepfather will follow. Can a stepmother be good to her son?
After figuring everything out, Dingxiang felt even more enlightened.
No one can force her to do something she doesn't want to do, not even her husband.
Fortunately, her husband was understanding and empathetic.
She truly didn't expect Zhou Jinian to go home and tell his parents those things.
Even after finding out that it was his sister-in-law who instigated it, he still dared to break ties with his brother.
"Aren't you worried about it affecting your brotherhood?" Don't men care about their brothers the most?
"Do you think my brother didn't know what my sister-in-law did? Since he knew but didn't stop her, he was the one who disregarded brotherly affection first, so why should I care?"
Dingxiang seemed satisfied with what she heard, and then asked, "So you don't want Niu Niu and their children to help each other in the future?"
My mother-in-law wants me to have more children, just so that they can have siblings to look after and help each other in the future.
Zhou Jinian had a hard time explaining: "To be honest, I don't think much of my older brother's kids. They've been raised by those two to be cold and mean. It would be good if they didn't drag Niu Niu down in the future."
No matter how you look at your own child, Niu Niu is wonderful. He is smart, clever, and kind.
Forget about relying on his older brothers for mutual support; I'm afraid they'll have to be dragged along by Niu Niu.
Zhou Jinian has a very strong bias towards his own child. He believes that even if he only has one child, Niu Niu will be better than ten or eight of them in the future.
Even Dingxiang, as a mother, didn't dare say that, but she was still very happy to hear him praise her child like that.
"Since you've resolved it, let's leave it at that. From now on, let's focus on our work and raising our child well."
Both parents work, they are only children, they own a house and have savings—their lifestyle is top-tier.
Dingxiang believes that as long as they are properly cared for, they will have no worries about who will take care of them in their old age.
Besides, they'll have pensions in the future.
Therefore, you absolutely cannot lose your job.
Seeing how insightful she was, Zhou Jinian smiled and said, "Then I have to thank Comrade Lin Yu for helping to comfort you and cheer you up."
Dingxiang agreed with this: "If it weren't for Xiaoyu, I wouldn't have been able to figure these things out. I see boundless energy in her."
