Chapter 265 Difficult Birth 3
The food in the hospital cafeteria is actually quite good. Perhaps it is to provide nourishment to the patients, so meat is often served and the prices are affordable.
Chu Hong saw that there was a dish called stewed chicken with potatoes, so she bought one too.
I also bought some shredded pork with dried tofu and five taels of rice, which was enough for them to eat.
It’s not that Chu Hong doesn’t want to buy more food, but based on the hospitalization certificate, she can only buy this much.
Everyone in the ward was talking about Chen Mei's difficult delivery.
An elderly woman sighed: "Giving birth is like stepping into the gates of hell. My little daughter also died during childbirth. How pitiful."
There are also aunts who don't care: "Nowadays, lesbians are just spoiled. I gave birth to three sons and two daughters, all at home, and it was fine, wasn't it?"
A middle-aged man followed up and said, "There are risks in having a caesarean section. This operation will damage your vitality. My cousin's wife had a caesarean section, and later she died and the baby was weak. She had to go to the hospital every few days."
"I also think that I can't have a cesarean section, otherwise I'll lose both my money and my life..."
When Chu Hong heard these words, she lost her appetite for the first time.
But all she could do was to go to the Women's Federation again in the afternoon and report to her leaders the difficulties that the female educated youth encountered after getting married.
The leader of the Women's Federation also came over after hearing this, but this problem was indeed tricky. Aunt Su cried and said that she didn't even have ginseng, and she felt that she had been good enough to her daughter-in-law.
Besides, the doctor cannot guarantee that the caesarean section will be safe.
Chu Hong did everything she could. In the afternoon, her cousin's fever subsided and she completed the discharge procedures. Aunt Song then rode Chu Hong's bicycle back home.
Even though she had blamed Chen Mei before, Chu Hong still wanted a miracle to happen for her, so that she could give birth smoothly and both mother and child would be safe.
But I also know in my heart that this possibility is not high.
She didn't want to hear any news about Secretary Su's family in Lingtou Village.
But in the countryside, life and death are big matters. On the morning of March 20th, when Chu Hong went to Lingzhong Village to visit the sister-in-law with whom she had fought last time, she heard the news of Chen Mei's death.
"I heard that she passed away yesterday afternoon. Fortunately, the two sons in her belly are still alive."
"Both children were very small, weighing less than 10 pounds. When they left the womb, their faces were blue, and they didn't cry even when they were hit."
"But the two children are lucky enough to be alive."
In fact, Chu Hong also knew in her heart that there was a high possibility that something had happened to Chen Mei, but fortunately her two children were still alive.
She also knew that Su Hongqi had an affair with another woman because her eldest sister could not give birth to a son.
Now that Chen Mei has risked her life to give birth to two sons for him, he can be said to have finally gotten what he wished for.
All Chu Hong could do was write a report, talking about the importance of prenatal checkups for women.
The main reason is that there is no specific examination in this regard now, and many people think that women getting married, getting pregnant and having children are as common as eating and drinking.
I don’t know how hard it is for a woman to be pregnant for ten months, nor do I know that giving birth is like stepping into the gates of hell.
No, it’s not that I don’t know, but I just don’t want to waste money, so I ignore it.
There is also the mentality of relying on luck, thinking that they are lucky and nothing will happen to them.
Chu Hong didn't know whether the report she wrote was useful or not, but this was all she could do. Using Chen Mei as an example, if she had had a pregnancy check-up and knew she was pregnant with twins, and had paid more attention, or had gone to the hospital earlier, she might not have lost her life at such a young age.
On the other side is the home of Secretary Su in Lingtou Village.
Su Hongqi must have been sad when he heard that his new wife was gone, but when he heard that he had two sons, he was so happy that he almost laughed out loud.
After that, the two children were left to be taken care of by their own mother and brother's wife.
After all, he is a grown man and doesn't know how to take care of a child.
What he was busy with was burying Chen Mei.
Nowadays, people over 50 are considered elderly, and those who have some spare money will prepare funeral supplies for themselves in advance.
Not only will you not feel uncomfortable, but you will feel at ease without having to worry about being hastily buried by unfilial descendants a hundred years later.
It can be said that whoever has coffin will be the object of envy.
Therefore, Secretary Su prepared funeral supplies for himself and his wife at the end of last year, but he did not expect that they were given to his eldest daughter-in-law first.
At this time, even if Aunt Su felt sorry for her new funeral supplies, she couldn't show it.
At the beginning, Aunt Su was very happy to have two more grandsons.
But the biggest problem is that without a mother, there will be no food.
I can’t buy milk powder, and even if I can, I can’t afford it.
I could only take a few eggs and find my young wife who had given birth to a child before to help feed the baby.
But even if you can use the excuse of food during the day, you can't go and knock on people's doors in the dark with your child in your arms at night, right?
Then you can only cook rice porridge and feed him with rice soup.
The next day, Secretary Su asked his wife to move to his daughter's room to take care of his grandson because the child cried at night and kept him awake.
Aunt Su is old and can't handle all the hard work all of a sudden, so she wants her daughter-in-law to help take care of her grandson.
But Liu Fangfang's eldest son is only six years old this year, and her youngest son is less than two years old. They can hardly walk, but they can crawl around. They are at the age when people dislike them, which is enough to make her worry.
Now my mother-in-law wants to take care of my eldest brother's two children. She said bluntly: "Mom, I already take care of two children. They are noisy enough at night, and I have to go to work during the day. This is really too much, right?"
Chen Mei, the eldest sister-in-law who had been married for just over a year, passed away. Secretary Su, in order to keep the wealth within the family, let his younger daughter-in-law take over the job of looking after the warehouse that the eldest daughter-in-law had done.
Liu Fangfang naturally didn't want to give up such a good job, and she didn't dare to contradict her parents-in-law. Seeing her mother-in-law's sullen face, she suggested: "Dad and Mom, didn't my eldest brother and sister-in-law divorce because she couldn't give birth to a son?"
"Now that my eldest brother has two sons, why not ask my eldest sister-in-law to come back?"
"My sister-in-law has a good temper and is not a bad person. She will definitely not make things difficult for the two children."
"Besides, he was raised by my eldest sister-in-law since he was young, so he is no different from her biological child."
"I think it's hard for a couple who get married later in life to last long. It's better to be with your original partner."
Liu Fangfang really wants Chu Tong to come back.
Only with Chen Mei as a comparison did I realize how good Chu Tong is.
He is hardworking and capable, and he is also very nice to his son and never confronts him.
She really didn't want her elder brother to marry a young and beautiful female educated youth. She was not good at her work, but was thinking about the benefits. She took advantage of the fact that she knew a few more words than herself and snatched the easy jobs.
Aunt Su immediately retorted: "The Song family is so arrogant, I don't want to go to their house to please them again."
Secretary Su seemed to be thinking about something.
Before Chu Tong was here, whenever she went to the commune for meetings, her in-laws would go with her and would also help out a bit.
Even if he didn't want to admit it, he knew that he was increasingly disliked by his superiors when he went to the city, while Secretary Song, his former relative, was praised by the leaders during meetings.
To be honest, Secretary Su has regretted it many times.
