Chapter 1080 What gives you the right to make decisions for her?
When Ayu saw her mother-in-law bring her son out, she jumped up and said anxiously, "Mom, why did you bring Coco out? You'll scare him!"
Ayu's mother-in-law didn't think she had done anything wrong at all; instead, she blamed Ayu.
"You don't even care about your own son, and you say I'll scare him? Is this his child or mine?"
Ayu said helplessly, "Mom, didn't I tell you? The child is being looked after, so you don't need to worry about him."
“Someone can see that she’s not the child’s biological mother. This is your son, not someone else’s. How can you abandon your son to someone else?”
Ayu's mother-in-law had a loud voice, and the child soon started crying in her arms.
Ayu was extremely anxious. "Mom, let's put the child back in the room first, okay? You can tell me what's going on slowly."
The aunt's mother-in-law pointed at the snacks on the table and scolded Ayu, "Now you know how to worry? Look at you, you didn't care about the baby after she was born, you didn't even breastfeed her, and you still had the mood to drink tea and eat here. Is this how a mother should act?"
Ayu was unable to refute.
Since the child was born, she has been constantly concerned about the child.
Whether it's feeding or soothing the baby, it's all done by her alone. Whenever her husband and mother-in-law appear, they tell her how to take good care of the child and how heavy the responsibility on her shoulders is.
She has been exhausted from the hospital these past few days. The child is weak and prone to crying and fussing.
Instead of helping her, her mother-in-law and husband expected her to take care of the baby, even though she had just given birth.
Before coming to the postpartum care center, Ayu had never even had a full night's sleep.
Sometimes she even felt that eating or doing anything else was a heinous crime.
It's as if she's supposed to pay attention to the child all the time and put the child first.
Faced with her mother-in-law's accusations against Ayu, several people nearby couldn't stand it anymore and wanted to say a few words in Ayu's defense.
But Ayu's mother-in-law was completely unreasonable and directly scolded them back.
The child was crying so hard that Ayu was both anxious and heartbroken.
For the sake of her child, she even apologized to her mother-in-law, "Mom, I was wrong, I shouldn't have eaten. Please give me the child..."
The moment she gave in, her mother-in-law became even more unreasonable. "Now you know you're wrong? How many times have I told you? You're the child's mother now. No matter what, the child should come first. Besides, he's the only grandson of the Chen family. If you don't even care about him, how are you going to live with Chen Dong in the future?"
Ayu nodded repeatedly, "I know, Mom, I'll keep the child in my heart. Please don't be angry, give me the child first, okay? The child will cry too much..."
Ayu pleaded and tried to take the child, but her mother-in-law refused to give her the baby.
Qiao Xing couldn't stand it anymore, so she took two steps forward and took the child from her mother-in-law's arms.
The mother-in-law didn't react for a moment and froze for a few seconds.
Qiao Xing handed the child over to A Yu, asking her to calm the child down first.
She turned to her mother-in-law and said, "Why do you think she should focus all her attention on the child? Is the child hers alone? She worked so hard to give you children, wasn't that enough? And now you want to use the child to blackmail her? Do you have any conscience?"
Ayu's mother-in-law probably didn't expect Qiao Xing to stand up for Ayu.
She said with displeasure, "Who are you? This is a family matter, what's it to you?"
"Since you also know about things that are unrelated to you, you shouldn't interfere. That child isn't yours, so what right do you have to make decisions for her?"
Ayu's mother-in-law was speechless.
"Women are already emotionally unstable and under a lot of pressure after giving birth. It's not like she abandoned the child after giving birth, and the child isn't just hers. Your son has been completely useless from beginning to end, and now you're criticizing her for not being a good mother. Do you really think she can't live a minute without your son?"
Faced with Qiao Xing's questioning, the aunt's mother-in-law knew she was in the wrong and stammered, unable to utter a complete sentence.
Ayu was afraid that her mother-in-law would make a scene and it wouldn't look good, so she tugged at Qiao Xing's arm.
"Qiao Xing, stop talking..."
Qiao Xing said to her, "I told you, the more you give in to them, the more they will take advantage of you. Today they think you can't take care of the child, tomorrow they'll think you're having an affair."
Before she could finish speaking, Ayu's husband arrived.
"How dare you talk like that? What business is it of yours what my mother and wife are talking about? Who gives you the right to interfere in our family affairs?"
He probably heard what Qiao Xing said earlier, so he immediately criticized Qiao Xing with dissatisfaction.
After he finished talking about Qiao Xing, he looked at A Yu and said in a particularly harsh tone, "It's one thing if you don't take good care of the child, but when others talk about my mother, you just stand by and watch? Are you helping outsiders bully my mother?"
Ayu instinctively explained, "No, I..."
But her husband rudely interrupted her.
"What do you mean no? You just don't like my mom, so you're ganging up with outsiders to get revenge on her. She's been taking care of you and the kids all this time. So you don't know how to cherish her just because she's not your biological mother?"
Anyone would find it unbearable to be scolded by their wife in front of so many people.
But even though everyone was angry, they all had the attitude of "it's better to avoid trouble."
After all, these are their family matters. If outsiders interfere, even well-intentioned people will end up pleasing neither side.
For example, Qiao Xing was clearly trying to help A Yu, but in turn, her family accused her of bullying her.
Qiao Xing was about to reach her limit.
She was angry not only at her aunt's husband's attitude, but also at Ayu's forbearance.
She really couldn't imagine how humble a woman had to be to tolerate things time and time again.
The person standing right in front of her was her husband, her closest person, yet he recklessly hurt her dignity.
Qiao Xing felt extremely sad.
She didn't even know whether helping Ayu was a good thing or a bad thing.
After all, she herself is content with the status quo, so no matter how much she stands up for him, it will be of no use.
Ayu's husband was still nagging and criticizing her, while her mother-in-law, seeing her son standing up for her, started to play the victim.
Ayu gradually transformed from a victim into the woman her husband described as neglecting her family and children.
Just when Qiao Xing thought that A Yu would continue to swallow her anger, A Yu suddenly handed the child in her arms to Qiao Xing.
She wiped away her tears, then walked up to her husband and looked straight at him.
When Ayu's husband saw this, a strange look flashed in his eyes, but he still didn't take it seriously.
"What are you doing? I just said a few words to you, and you're getting upset, aren't you?"
