Chapter 99 Going to the Hospital
Upon hearing this, Captain Wang sneered and asked directly, "Did you see it at Gu's house next door?"
"Yes, it's next door." Han Qiao said with a strange look on her face: "I didn't expect Comrade Xiaolin to be like this at home. She even pushed the laundry work to men. She has no consideration for others at all."
Captain Wang seemed to have found a confidant. "You really hit the nail on the head. Lin Xiangnan is really not a good-tempered person. It's bad luck for Gu Zhenhua to run into such a person."
"What nonsense are you talking about. Xiaolin is a pregnant woman, and it's only right for Gu Zhenhua to take care of her more." Luo Caixia was dissatisfied and spoke for Lin Xiangnan.
Han Qiao immediately retorted, "You shouldn't act like this even when you're pregnant. If a new daughter-in-law in our hometown dares to act like this, she'll be scolded to death by her mother-in-law. I did what I had to do after giving birth before. How can you act like this right after getting pregnant?"
They all come from the same place, and there are indeed many such cases in their hometown.
It's not surprising that Han Qiao would say this.
The wife Captain Wang married was like this at first, and he chose the same woman when he got married for the second time. It’s just that Luo Caixia has learned to be smarter.
"If you don't have any experience, then don't talk too much, or you'll be laughed at." Luo Caixia said, holding back her anger: "When I was in the countryside, I rarely saw men washing clothes. But when I came to this family compound, I found that the higher the rank of the man, the more diligent he was."
After all, she came to help at home. Seeing that Luo Caixia was dissatisfied, Han Qiao pursed her lips and stopped talking.
But Captain Wang was dissatisfied with what Luo Caixia said, "The higher the rank, the more diligent a man is. Gu Zhenhua, that young man, is far worse than me."
"But I've also seen Political Commissar Xu washing clothes." Luo Caixia continued to refute.
"Chen Xiulan works and gets paid. When she's too busy, Political Commissar Xu occasionally helps out." Battalion Commander Wang said disdainfully, "It's nothing like the Gu family. Lin Xiangnan doesn't have a job. She hangs around all day long. She only eats and wears good clothes. Gu Zhenhua's salary is not enough for her to spend. I don't know why Gu Zhenhua married her."
"Why do you care what they want? They are happy." Luo Caixia was not afraid of him and directly refuted him loudly.
Han Qiao didn't want to talk anymore, but when she saw that the couple was arguing over such a small matter, she quickly advised them, "Caixia, please stop talking. Your man comes home from a long day's work, isn't he tired enough? Just feel sorry for him."
In this era, the identities of poor peasants and workers are something to be proud of.
Although Han Qiao was paid to work, she felt that she was there to help. She was also related to the Wang family, so it was natural for her to get involved in the family affairs.
And she naturally stood on the side of Captain Wang and helped to teach Luo Caixia a lesson.
Captain Wang felt warmed by these words, but Luo Caixia felt nauseous.
"I feel sorry for him. Who feels sorry for me?" Luo Caixia was so angry at her words that she pointed at Captain Wang and said, "I thought you asked Han Qiao to help me, but I didn't expect you asked her to bully me together."
"Do you think I don't have a mother-in-law to look after me, and want to hire someone to be my mother-in-law to look after me? I can't afford to support such a big Buddha. Old Wang, quickly let her go back and find someone else."
Seeing Luo Caixia's attitude, Han Qiao's heart skipped a beat and she felt that something was wrong.
But men are the ones who make the decisions at home after all. Han Qiao looked at Captain Wang for help, "I don't mean anything else. I just said a few fair words. If your family really can't accommodate me, just send me to the train station tomorrow."
"I know you are telling the truth. It is Luo Caixia who is making trouble." Captain Wang said dissatisfiedly, "She is just taking advantage of her pregnancy to make trouble with me. I spoil her. Just go and do your own thing, don't bother with her."
With strangers at home, Luo Caixia made a scene. Captain Wang felt very embarrassed and scolded Luo Caixia, "It would be fine if you gave me a son. But if you give me a daughter, I don't know how you can make a scene again."
"Why are you making a fuss? I'm going to die. I'll just cut my throat with a knife, okay? If you're worried that the child will cause you trouble, I'll take the child away with me, okay?"
Luo Caixia said this and went to the kitchen to get a kitchen knife.
"Life is so boring, I might as well die."
Captain Wang didn't dare to let her die at home. He wouldn't be able to explain himself then. Not to mention that his promotion would be affected, his superiors might even ask him to transfer to civilian work.
He snatched the kitchen knife from Luo Caixia's hand and said in a softer tone, "Why aren't you so angry? I just said it casually, what are you doing with the kitchen knife?"
Luo Caixia took the knife just for show and didn't dare to do anything. When Captain Wang tried to snatch the knife from her, she didn't struggle at all, for she was afraid of hurting herself.
"You bullied me, your son bullied me, and even the people you hired to help with the work bullied me..." Luo Caixia burst into tears.
Captain Wang made a bitter face and explained helplessly: "Han Qiao just said it casually, and she didn't mean any harm. This person was found by my sister-in-law with great difficulty. I called him back as soon as he arrived. What do you think of us when you ask the people back home?"
"I know that being your wife means I will suffer endless grievances..." Luo Caixia wiped her tears and cursed loudly, "Why?"
"Keep your voice down, keep your voice down, I'll talk to Han Qiao later, okay." Captain Wang advised helplessly: "Let's stop making a fuss, your belly is so big, you should just calm down for now."
Captain Wang cares a lot about the reputation of his hometown, so it is unrealistic to let Han Qiao go back.
This scene can only make Han Qiao behave herself.
The goal had been achieved. As soon as Captain Wang gave her an opportunity, Luo Caixia stepped down and went back to her room to sleep, holding her anger.
Who knew that in the middle of the night, Luo Caixia woke up because of stomachache.
She woke up Captain Wang and said, "I should be giving birth soon. Take me to the hospital immediately."
Captain Wang shook his head to wake himself up, quickly turned on the light, packed his things, and prepared to set off.
The noise also woke up Han Qiao.
Han Qiao took the initiative to say, "Can't you just give birth at home? I can help."
"I don't want to give birth by myself. I want to go to the hospital!" Luo Caixia squeezed Captain Wang's wrist and urged him, "Hurry up!"
Han Qiao curled her lips secretly and was about to say that she was too delicate, but when she thought of the dispute at night, she restrained herself a lot and said, "Forget it if you don't need my help. This is your first time giving birth, you don't understand, it's just the beginning of the pain, it will take a while for the baby to be born, you don't have to be so anxious."
After saying that, she just stood there and did nothing.
She came to help, not to be a servant. With Luo Caixia's attitude, why should she work for Luo Caixia?
Han Qiao wanted to hide, but Captain Wang was not happy and ordered directly: "What are you doing here? Come with us to the hospital. I have to go to work tomorrow. You have to stay at the hospital to take care of Caixia."
