Her sudden outburst really startled Liu Dekai and Zhang Cuihua.
Neither of them expected that Mo Youyou would have such a strong reaction to Zhang Cuihua's prayer.
“Youyou, don’t be anxious—” Liu Dekai stepped in as peacemaker again.
Zhang Cuihua was so frightened that she couldn't even open her mouth.
"What do you mean, 'don't rush me'!" Mo Youyou slapped away Liu Dekai's arm that he was trying to help her up, and pointed at his nose, yelling, "Liu Dekai, you also think your mother is right, this baby has to be a son, right?"
"Then I'd like to ask you, what are your plans if you really have a daughter?"
"Throw it away? Kill it?"
"Liu Dekai, you're a soldier, you've received military education, how can you be so old-fashioned and backward? What's wrong with your daughter? Let me tell you, don't bring your rural patriarchal ideas here!"
"With me, Mo Youyou, here, no matter if it's a boy or a girl in this belly, she'll be treated the same at home. Even if it's a girl, we'll still love her!"
"What right do you have to look down on women! Who will give your family children if there are no women! Mom, you're a woman yourself, what do you mean by despising girls like this!"
Mo Youyou was furious.
"Yes, yes, yes," Liu Dekai quickly coaxed her, trying to soothe Mo Youyou's emotions. "Mom has spent most of her life in the countryside, so it's understandable that her thinking is outdated. I'll talk to her about it slowly, why are you in such a hurry?"
"Those are all my children. Don't say such hurtful things. What could I possibly do to my own children?"
"Hmph!" Mo Youyou sat down angrily.
As for Zhang Cuihua, she was stunned by the scene just now and dared not say a word, staying obediently.
Liu Dekai coaxed Mo Youyou while inwardly smiling bitterly.
He actually hoped that the baby in her belly was a girl, since he had always doubted what Su Yueya had said about Chao Xiong and was worried that it might come true.
If it really is a girl, then it can't be Chao Xiong, because Chao Xiong must be a boy!
Based on this idea, Liu Dekai was even able to break the prejudice of valuing boys over girls. Otherwise, deep down, he actually thought the same as Zhang Cuihua and still hoped for a boy.
Mo Youyou ignored the mother and child, and comforted the baby while touching her belly.
"Baby, don't worry. As long as you are born healthy, with Mommy here, no one will bully you, okay?"
"Mom will always be your biggest support. Don't be scared, baby. Whether you are a boy or a girl, Mom's love for you is the same."
"Mommy will protect you, baby, don't be afraid!"
Every sentence omits Liu Dekai and Zhang Cuihua, yet every word subtly alludes to them.
Zhang Cuihua was very unhappy. She was, after all, the mother-in-law. Even if Mo Youyou was angry, couldn't she speak properly? Getting so angry and pointing her finger at her and cursing her showed that she didn't respect her as the mother-in-law at all!
Since there were still two months until Mo Youyou's due date, they needed to start preparing slowly. So, Mo Youyou suggested that while Liu Dekai was resting, the two of them go together to buy some things for the delivery.
After waking up naturally, Mo Youyou and Liu Dekai went out.
Liu Dekai had prepared all his documents and other belongings in advance and placed them in the bedside table.
Today I came out mainly to buy some supplies for postpartum women and babies.
"Go pick out a few clothes for breastfeeding, and some things you'll need during your postpartum period," Mo Youyou instructed.
Liu Dekai's main role was to carry things and pay.
Mo Youyou was furious. Why did it have to be the woman who got pregnant? She was the one who suffered, while Liu Dekai got a child for nothing. Now he was finally of some use.
Since you can't get pregnant, then let's spend more money.
Even physical pain can be considered a kind of pain.
It's still a tiny bit better than doing nothing at all.
"Youyou, buying two of these clothes is enough. Aren't four or five a bit too many?" Liu Dekai said.
"What, I gave birth to your child, and I don't even deserve a few clothes?" Mo Youyou retorted, her expression extremely displeased. "Liu Dekai, it's only a small amount of money, and you're already feeling sorry for it? What are you earning money for? Isn't it for your wife and child? You're saving it up because you're not willing to spend it, are you planning to spend it on other women?"
Liu Dekai: "..."
Spending a little money is fine, but who would be willing to spend too much? How did this bring up women outside the marriage? Would he dare to have women outside the marriage?
If he dares, Mo Youyou will be the first to castrate him!
After all, Liu Dekai was just a deputy battalion commander. He had a decent income, but it wasn't enough to allow him to squander it. How could he not feel sorry for him?
But you can't say it like that, or Mo Youyou will definitely explode.
At this point, the art of speaking becomes very important. After all, when things were going well, his words could still make Mo Youyou very happy.
“That’s not what I meant! Youyou, I don’t care how much money I spend on you. I was just thinking that these are clothes you’ll wear during your postpartum period, so you won’t be able to wear them for long. After you give birth, you’ll definitely get back to your pre-pregnancy figure very quickly, and you definitely won’t wear these clothes anymore. So I might as well save them and buy you some nicer clothes for the future!” Liu Dekai said.
Mo Youyou actually listened to that.
Since becoming pregnant, her figure has changed drastically, and it would be a lie to say she didn't feel any burden.
Liu Dekai's comment about her rapid recovery really hit the nail on the head.
“That’s true… Well then, let’s take three sets first, and I’ll buy more new clothes after I recover,” Mo Youyou said happily.
After buying things for the new mother, I also need to buy things for the baby.
The department store had a special area where supplies for maternity and infant care were placed side by side. The two walked around to the other side.
"Sis! This is beautiful, let's go inside and take a look!" Qiao Xinruo exclaimed excitedly.
That day, both Qiao Xinruo and Su Yueya happened to be on leave.
Qiao Xinruo originally planned to go shopping with her sister and buy things for them, but she happened to see the clothes the little baby was wearing and thought they were tiny and looked especially cute.
She wouldn't have thought much of it before, but things are different now. Su Yueya is pregnant, and she can't resist these little clothes.
The thought of her future nephew or niece wearing adorable little clothes melted Qiao Xinruo's heart!
"Isn't it too early to be looking at these things now?" Su Yueya said.
She's only been pregnant for a short time; the baby's birth is still a long way off!
"It's not too early, it's not too early. We're going to buy things anyway, so let's take a look first. If we find something suitable, we'll buy it; if not, we can just look around." Qiao Xinruo pulled her sister, insisting on going inside to look.
Su Yueya also liked the little clothes, so she let her younger sister pull her inside.
Perhaps because of her pregnancy, she is now more interested in this thing than in the pretty dresses she wears.
