Before long, everyone in the village knew that Lin Dong's wife had given birth. When they heard that it was a son, Shen Hongyan was so happy!
Lin Dong and Niu Aihua came back in an ox cart. The weather was not too cold at the moment. Niu Aihua was dressed warmly, with a headscarf on her head and a baby in her arms.
After all, it’s only been a few days since I gave birth, I can’t catch a cold.
The couple didn't expect that Shen Hongyan was waiting at the village entrance.
Finally seeing someone, Shen Hongyan's eyes lit up and she ran over immediately.
"Oh, my grandson! Grandson!"
Without saying a word, Shen Hongyan snatched the child from Niu Aihua's arms and held the child in her own arms.
Shen Hongyan hadn't held a child in fourteen years, so her technique was extremely clumsy and her movements were rough and barbaric, which made the baby, who had just fallen asleep, cry.
"You hurt him!"
Niu Aihua must feel uncomfortable seeing her child being treated like this.
Shen Hongyan glared at her and retorted: "Nonsense, he is obviously hungry!"
After saying that, he put the child into Niu Aihua's arms. Niu Aihua coaxed the child and quickly held him in her arms to feed Nunai.
Newborn babies only eat and sleep, so they can be coaxed into shape quickly.
Seeing her grandson giving her face like this, Shen Hongyan was extremely happy: "See, I told you he was hungry!"
Niu Aihua was speechless and looked up at Lin Dong: "What are you still doing here? Go back quickly. I'm still in confinement."
Lin Dong nodded quickly and drove the ox cart back quickly.
After returning home, Lin Dong held the child and helped Niu Aihua into the house.
Niu Aihua was not allowed to eat anything cold during her confinement period. After Lin Dong put the things away, he prepared to boil some hot water and bring it into the house.
As a result, as soon as he came out, he was pulled aside by Shen Hongyan.
Lin Dong was very anxious: "Mom, what are you doing? Aihua is thirsty, I have to boil some water for her. Tell me what's going on."
Shen Hongyan didn't say anything useless and directly stretched out her hand: "Where's the money?"
"What money?"
"What other money can I have? What's the money left from giving birth? Give it to me quickly! What's the point of you kids asking for money? It's better to give it to Mom."
"..." Lin Dong was speechless for two seconds: "The money is all spent."
"What did you say?!" Shen Hongyan suddenly raised her voice: "You spendthrift, how did you spend all that money? You three siblings are here to bring me down, right?!"
Lin Bao stole five hundred yuan. Hong Meimei spent several hundred yuan on hospital stay before, and now Niu Aihua spent several hundred yuan on giving birth to a child.
No family can afford it.
"I told you to come back quickly and not stay in the hospital, but you wouldn't listen. Look what's going on now, you've been ripped off by the hospital!"
"Mom, don't be so extreme, okay? Not everyone is bad. You don't know the situation at all. Aihua was admitted to the hospital and was in pain all night but couldn't give birth. The doctor said that if she couldn't give birth, both the mother and the child might be in danger. There was no choice but to have a caesarean section."
"Not only is a cesarean section more expensive than a vaginal birth, but you also have to use anesthesia. Regular doses of anesthesia are completely useless for Aihua, so I have to use more, which costs more money."
"The doctor said Aihua is too fat. Her belly is full of fat, and the wound will be difficult to sew up, so she needs to be treated with good medicine. Plus, the hospital bills for the past few days... the money is just flowing out."
Lin Dong said so much, but Shen Hongyan didn't hear anything else he said. She only remembered the three words "caesarean section".
