"Feed her, feed her right now, and shut her up!"
After being reminded by Grandma Zhao, Zhou Ling realized that her daughter was probably hungry.
really,
After being fed, the baby stopped crying and calmed down.
At this time,
Zhou Dana and Wang Xiuhua pushed open the door and walked in. Zhou Ling's eyes lit up. Old Mrs. Zhao didn't want to take care of her, but Zhou Dana and Wang Xiuhua could. They could also help take care of the children.
She only stayed with the baby for two days before finding it too difficult; she had to take care of everything from the baby's eating and drinking to their toileting.
Zhou Dana and Wang Xiuhua can help lighten her burden a lot.
After the couple pretended to dote on their 'granddaughter' for a while, before Zhou Ling could speak, Wang Xiuhua said first: "Xiao Ling, your father and I have found jobs. We work at a restaurant, and they provide food and lodging. We will pay you and your son-in-law back the money we earn in the future."
The words that Zhou Ling was about to say were swallowed back down by this news.
But thinking about how no one would help her take care of the baby, Zhou Ling still said, "Mom, could one of you or Dad stay and take care of me? The doctor said that during postpartum confinement, I can't get wet or catch a cold. Besides, my daughter is so small, and I don't know how to take care of her. You two have experience. One of you can go to work, and the other can help me take care of the baby, okay?"
Ever since Zhou Dana and Wang Xiuhua learned that Zhou Ling had given birth to a daughter, they had considered that Zhou Ling wanted them to take care of the child. The two had already prepared a response. Zhou Dana said, "It's not that your mother and I don't want to help you take care of the child. We have already signed a contract with the boss and have to stay in the restaurant most of the time. Besides, your mother and I don't have a place to stay right now. We can't stay here with you. Your room is too cramped. And food and drinks cost money. Even if we don't care about ourselves, we have to think about our granddaughter and earn more money for her."
Zhou Ling fell silent upon hearing this.
Because what Zhou Dana said made sense. Things are different now than before. When you rent a big house, there are many rooms, and two families can live together.
In this small house, she shares one room with Zhao Kun, and Old Mrs. Zhao and Old Mr. Zhao share another. There are no extra rooms, and they can't all sleep in the kitchen.
Secondly, their family's current financial situation is indeed difficult. Zhao Kun has spent almost all his money in the hospital these past few days, and his career has not made any progress. They are about to reach the point where they can't even afford to eat.
There needs to be labor to earn money and support the family.
Old Mrs. Zhao's family relies on scavenging and selling garbage every day to make money. They don't have much money, and it's impossible for them to spend it on her.
She also has to take care of her child and cannot go to work.
So, it seemed that only Zhou Dana and Wang Xiuhua, the two able-bodied people, remained in the entire household.
One person's expenses are definitely not enough to support a large family.
At least two people need to earn money.
"Xiaoling, your second sister has finished the college entrance exam. Call her over to help you. She doesn't need to study now, so she's fine."
Wang Xiuhua suddenly suggested.
To have his second sister, Zhou Na, serve him?
Zhou Ling hesitated for a moment because she thought about how the two of them had fallen out, and there was really no one who could help her right now.
She apologized to Zhou Na and said some kind words. They were sisters, and as the older sister, it was only right for her to be magnanimous and take care of her for a month.
Zhou Ling made up her mind to listen to Wang Xiuhua's advice and ease the tension with Zhou Na. She thought that when Zhou Na went to university and made a name for herself, she could take this opportunity to naturally eliminate the estrangement.
"If Zhou Chen could give her some money, that would be great. He's so rich, even a little bit of money slipping through his fingernails would be enough for Xiao Ling to eat and drink well."
Wang Xiuhua brought up Zhou Chen herself, her voice filled with sighs.
Zhou Dana also looked helpless and frustrated. If Zhou Ling hadn't made things so tense, Zhou Chen definitely wouldn't have ignored it, and Zhou Ling's life would be a thousand times better than it is now.
Unfortunately, it's too late to say anything now.
No matter how much she apologized, Zhou Chen refused to accept it and refused to acknowledge Zhou Ling as her sister.
"Mom, don't mention him. I don't want to hear that name."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Ling immediately straightened her face, not wanting to hear the name Zhou Chen. The reason she had ended up in this state was because of Zhou Chen.
Zhou Chen is a cold-blooded and ruthless person.
When she gave birth, she asked the nurse to call Zhou Chen, but Zhou Chen pretended it wasn't him, turned off his phone, and ignored her, showing extreme indifference.
Even if she has made a million mistakes, Zhou Chen, you don't have to go to this extent.
Zhou Dana and Wang Xiuhua left the simple bungalow under the pretext of going to work.
After the couple walked away,
They both stopped and looked at each other.
"She wants me to take care of her during her postpartum period? This little brat, she's dreaming."
Wang Xiuhua had completely changed her demeanor at this moment. She no longer showed any remorse or heartache for Zhou Ling. Instead, she was sharp-tongued and cold-hearted.
“Our reasons are valid and our excuses are reasonable; she can’t find fault with us.”
Zhou Dana said calmly.
They used to serve Zhou Ling because she controlled the demolition compensation. Now, Zhou Ling's pockets are even emptier than theirs, and there's no profit to be made, so they're unwilling to serve her, especially since the baby is constantly urinating and defecating, which is particularly troublesome.
They are not Zhou Ling's real parents, so there is no need for them to do these things.
On the other end,
After mentally preparing herself for more than ten minutes, Zhou Ling picked up her phone and took the initiative to call Zhou Na.
After waiting for more than half a minute,
The call finally connected.
"Second sister, it's me, Zhou Ling."
Seeing that Zhou Na remained silent, Zhou Ling immediately smiled and took the initiative to speak.
"I'm tutoring someone, nothing else, I'll hang up now."
Zhou Na's tone was flat, revealing no emotion whatsoever.
"Wait a minute, second sister, I have something to say. I want to apologize to you. I was wrong before and shouldn't have said those things."
Zhou Ling knew that Zhou Na might be angry with her. Although she didn't think she had done anything wrong, she needed someone to take care of her, so she had to humble herself and beg for Zhou Na's forgiveness.
Zhou Na was somewhat surprised, wondering what prompted Zhou Ling to apologize. She guessed that Zhou Ling must be asking her for a favor.
Otherwise, Zhou Ling wouldn't have taken the initiative to contact her.
"If there's nothing else, I'm hanging up."
"Second sister, wait a minute, I actually have some good news to tell you."
Zhou Ling quickly added.
"What news?"
Zhou Na didn't think Zhou Ling could do anything good.
"Second sister, I gave birth! I had a daughter! You have a niece now."
To avoid Zhou Na hanging up abruptly, Zhou Ling didn't ramble on and directly told everyone about giving birth.
Upon hearing this,
Zhou Na fell into a long silence.
Zhou Na was indeed surprised when Zhou Ling gave birth to a daughter.
How is the child?
"She is healthy and lovely. Second sister, come and see your niece."
"You'll definitely like it."
Upon hearing Zhou Na's concern for her daughter, Zhou Ling's expression immediately brightened, knowing there was hope, and she promptly invited Zhou Na over.
"Okay, I'll go when I have time."
Zhou Na remained silent for two seconds before giving an affirmative response.
