Chapter 40 Negotiation Failure

During the waiting process, Meng Ruoxi fainted from the pain.

I woke up again in the hospital, and my waist still hurt whenever I moved.

"Don't move. The doctor said you need to stay in bed and rest. You will be discharged in a few days."

Li Taohua was watching by her side, and when she saw her wake up and wanted to move, she hurried forward to persuade her.

Meng Ruoxi slowly exhaled and stopped moving. Thinking of her mother-in-law taking care of her and not knowing who would take care of the child, she asked, "Where is the child?"

The first thing the daughter-in-law did when she woke up was to check on the child. Li Taohua was happy and said, "Don't worry, your father is taking care of the child."

Meng Ruoxi was indeed relieved. At least now she didn't have to see the naughty child and could live in peace for a while.

Thinking that her daughter-in-law must be hungry, Li Taohua said as she moved, "Are you hungry? Your sister-in-law will bring food over later. Mom will peel an apple for you first."

An apple was quickly peeled and cut into small pieces with a knife, then handed to Meng Ruoxi's lips. She just had to open her mouth and eat.

While enjoying the food from my mother-in-law, I inevitably thought of Shi Yanjin.

If this guy doesn't come back, she won't dare go home.

The fat little boy is too troublesome, and she is not the one who takes care of him on weekdays, so she doesn't know how to raise him well.

The whole family pampers him like crazy and doesn't allow him to be beaten or scolded.

Even though my mother-in-law is being humble now, as long as I hit my children, she will immediately protect them and then blame me for being mean to the children, and I will instantly become the stepmother from her own mother.

Although I don't like children, I don't want him to grow up to be a person who hates dogs. If I teach him well from now on, everything will be in time.

After swallowing the apple in his mouth, he said to Li Taohua, "Mom, you saw it today. Wen Jing is too naughty and still young. We need to teach him to distinguish right from wrong, what he should do and what he shouldn't do, and when to punish him and when to praise him, otherwise he will be harmed sooner or later."

Li Taohua's eyes sparkled, "Mom knows it was Wen Jing's fault today, but he is still young and didn't mean it. Don't be angry with him. It would be pitiful to hit him. He just cries a little bit, but he is still a good kid at heart."

Meng Ruoxi frowned as she couldn't make sense. "Mom, don't misinterpret my meaning, and don't just defend him. He cries because you and your son are used to it, and he has more than just this problem. You don't have to beat him when he does something wrong, but you have to tell him that it's wrong to do so and what he should do. Only then will he understand."

As if her lungs were stabbed, Li Taohua almost jumped up and turned to blame Meng Ruoxi.

"He's only eleven months old, what can he understand? You're too harsh on him. How many times have you held the child since he was born? Have you fed him? Have you bathed him? You don't love the child at all!"

Meng Ruoxi didn't get angry or argue, she simply admitted, "As you said, I didn't do anything to him, I'm not a good mother, but you have problems with your child's education, you have to admit it and correct it, otherwise it will be too late to regret it when a big mistake is made."

That was all she had to say. She didn't plan to say more.

Li Taohua was silent, and finally said, "We'll talk about the child later."

Meng Ruoxi immediately understood what she meant. This was to prevent her from interfering, so she remained silent.

She is in charge of giving birth but not raising the child, so she cannot speak with confidence when it comes to educating the child. Her mother-in-law said so and she cannot refute it.

After Guan Meiling came in with a basket, she looked around and felt that the ward was too quiet. She took out the food from the basket uncomfortably and placed it on the table.

"Mom, Ruoxi, I made some bone soup and dumplings. Are you hungry? Eat them while they're hot."

Meng Ruoxi couldn't move, so she could only turn around and say thank you, "Thank you, sister-in-law. I'm sorry for bothering you these past few days."

Guan Meiling waved her hand nonchalantly, "Why are you being polite? It's not a big deal. It's just sending some food. It's such a simple thing."

She is now taking care of the children in the city. Her mother from her family helps with most of the work. She has nothing to do all day and is almost sick from being idle. Just then her sister-in-law was hospitalized and needed her help. She was happy to come and help.

Li Taohua looked at the food and said, "I'll stew a chicken for your sister-in-law tomorrow. She hurt her waist this time. She's suffered a lot."

You see, as long as it doesn't involve the children, and she is a good mother-in-law who loves her daughter-in-law, Meng Ruoxi can't argue with her.

Guan Meiling agreed, "Okay, I'll go buy it from the villagers later."

She didn't care about food at all, as long as she could get it, she would try her best to get it for her sister-in-law.

As the saying goes, "A scent far away smells good, but a scent near stink." When they lived together, she disliked Meng Ruoxi, but when they didn't live together, she missed her a little. People are really complicated and contradictory creatures.

Meng Ruoxi felt very relaxed after not seeing the little fat boy for several days. On the day she was discharged from the hospital, Shi Lujing came to pick her up personally in a tractor, and little Wen Jing was with him.

Meng Ruoxi felt a pain in her waist as soon as she saw him. Until now, she still remembers the severe pain caused by the child jumping back and forth on her waist.

"Mom." Little Wen Jing ran into the ward on his little feet, waved happily, and leaned over to the edge of the bed, curiously looking at his mother whom he hadn't seen for a few days.

The next second, little pearls appeared in her eyes. Unlike the previous earth-shaking cries, this time she cried silently and stretched out her hands to Meng Ruoxi to hold her.

"Mommy, hold me, mommy, hold me."

Meng Ruoxi couldn't hold him in his current state. She was afraid that he would climb onto the bed and pull her away, so she quickly reached out to comfort him, "Mom is injured now and can't hold you, darling. Let grandma hold you."

Xiao Wenjing didn't listen and held her hand tightly, not letting go.

Li Taohua was terrified. Thinking of her daughter-in-law's dislike for her grandson, she quickly went up to pick him up and said, "Wen Jing, be good. Grandma will hold him."

Shi Lujing scolded, "Shi Wenjing, be quiet and stop making noise!"

"Wow..." From silent to earth-shaking, she lay on the edge of the bed and cried heartbrokenly, her face getting redder and redder.

The nurse came in to check on the situation, "What happened..." It was not until she saw the child that she understood. She smiled awkwardly and looked at the adults, "The noise will affect the rest of other patients. I hope the patient's family will stop it as soon as possible."

"Sorry." Meng Ruoxi could only apologize.

The nurse thought she was pretty and took good care of her. If it was someone else, she would have scolded her, but she was much nicer when it came to her. “It’s okay, I understand. Please comfort her as soon as possible.”

He was about to be discharged from the hospital and yet something like this happened. Meng Ruoxi wanted to beat Shi Yanjin again.

A naughty child must have a naughty parent, and Shi Yanjin is that naughty parent to an extremely naughty extent.

Li Taohua kept hugging her grandson and coaxing him, without showing any impatience at all. Meng Ruoxi expressed her admiration for her.

When I turned around and saw the forbearing look on my father-in-law's face, I knew that he was also enduring it with great difficulty.

There is finally a normal person in the family, and Meng Ruoxi's long-destroyed heart is finally comforted.

"Mommy, Mommy." The crying continued, but Meng Ruoxi didn't want to pay attention.

My mother-in-law doesn't allow me to discipline my child, so I'll just let her coax me if she wants.

The method to correct a child's crying habit is very simple. Just ignore him when he cries. After a few times, he will stop crying and will be much calmer. But unfortunately, my mother-in-law and my husband wouldn't listen.

It was already evening when they got home. The fat boy was taken to the room by his mother-in-law to sleep. Meng Ruoxi had some quiet time and read a book on the bed.

She is able to get up and walk, but she cannot bend or turn around, so everything has to be done slowly.

The photos taken at the photo studio have been brought back and she casually placed them on the desk, planning to give them to Shi Yanjin when he returns.

The occasional crying sounds coming from outside no longer disturbed her. Ever since the failed conversation with her mother-in-law that day, she rarely cared about the child.

Comfort your child when he cries, repeat this process over and over again, and be a good mother who loves her child.
