Chapter 111 Huan Huan "... If you have this much saliva, why don't you go educate them more...
Zhao Yunsheng caught sight of Du Jianguo staring blankly at Wang Ying and leaned over to block his view. He felt a deep sense of contempt for this man. His wife had just given birth and suffered so much, yet he wasn't happy about becoming a father, wasn't worried about his wife's health, and instead was obsessed with the boy or girl, even coveting his wife's sister. He thought he should be shot immediately for wasting the nation's grain!
Zhao Yunsheng's action made Sun Qiaoling glance at Du Jianguo. She also saw Du Jianguo's stupid look and felt annoyed.
Wang Ying had been staring at Huanhuan in his arms, not noticing the expressions of others. Seeing Zhao Yunsheng approaching, he asked, "Do you want to hold Huanhuan?"
Zhao Yunsheng didn't want to hold the baby. He just said, "I've never held such a small child before. I don't dare to hold him. I'll just take a look."
Sun Qiaoling smiled and said, "When you have your own baby, you will have to hold the baby even if you don't dare." Come to think of it, her useless son has never held Huanhuan yet. She never thought that he could be so patriarchal!
Sun Qiaoling and Wang Ying were talking, while Du Jianguo sat blankly by the bedside table. Li Fengju only spoke to Wang Ying when she first arrived, and then she sat by Wang Hui's bedside. Her motherly love was deeply moving.
Wang Ying held Huanhuan for a while, then handed her back to Sun Qiaoling and said, "Too many people would disturb the new mother's rest, so we'll go back first."
Li Fengju only then looked up at Wang Ying: "Are you leaving now?"
"Well, it's not good to have too many people in the ward." Wang Ying looked at Li Fengju's haggard appearance and couldn't help but say, "Luckily, we only have two sisters. If there were more sisters, and Mom worried about each of them like this, even the strongest person wouldn't be able to bear it."
Wang Ying's words had different effects on Sun Qiaoling and Li Fengju.
Sun Qiaoling felt that Wang Ying was worried about Li Fengju and blamed the Du family for not taking good care of her younger sister, causing her mother to suffer. Li Fengju felt that Wang Ying was dissatisfied with her for doing too much for Wang Hui...
"Fengju, you should go back and have some rest. I'm here for you. Huihui is now stable and nothing will happen." Sun Qiaoling continued.
Li Fengju looked at Wang Hui lying on the bed. She still didn't want to leave, so she said, "I'm not sleepy yet. I'll wait until Huihui wakes up."
Sun Qiaoling glanced at Wang Ying and thought, this is not what we want her to do, she is the one who is worried about her daughter.
Wang Ying actually just said that. Her mother was happy to take care of Wang Hui, so she let her do it. She then said, "We're leaving first," and left the ward with Zhao Yunsheng.
After leaving Wang Hui's ward, Zhao Yunsheng whispered, "When you give birth, I will be by your side, taking care of you every step of the way."
Wang Ying smiled and said, "Then thank you in advance."
"What are you thanking me for? This is all I should do." Zhao Yunsheng said, "Let's go see my elder sister."
The two went to find Zhao Yunfei, but Zhao Yunfei was busy at the time, so they went back.
"You're back so soon?" Chen Xiuqin thought they would not be back until lunch time.
"Well, my little sister was asleep. She came back after seeing the baby." Wang Ying said.
"How is it?" Chen Xiuqin asked.
"The doctor said it's okay. The bleeding stopped in time. She can still have another baby if she wants to after two years of nursing. The baby is doing well, chubby and fair. Her grandmother likes it very much." When Wang Ying thought of Huanhuan, she felt that the child was doing very well in Wang Hui's belly.
"I'm sure they'll still like a big, fat granddaughter," Chen Xiuqin said with a smile. "I was originally worried that if they had a girl, people wouldn't like her."
Zhao Yunsheng said, "You can tell her grandmother really likes her. Huanhuan's father is unhappy. He looks so lifeless, it's really infuriating just to look at him."
"He just conceived that child. What's there to be unhappy about?" Chen Xiuqin rolled her eyes. "Men like that are the worst kind. But her mother-in-law is pretty good in that sense."
Li Fengju also felt that Du Jianguo was a worthless person. She had witnessed his behavior in the hospital over the past few days and felt extremely regretful. Du Jianguo looked honest, but he was a heartless and ungrateful man. She shouldn't have married her daughter to him, not both of her daughters.
Sun Qiaoling saw that Li Fengju was dissatisfied with Du Jianguo, and she also felt that Jianguo was a bit too much. While Wang Hui was still asleep and Huanhuan was asleep, she called Du Jianguo to a secluded place.
"Jianguo, what's wrong with you? Huihui gave birth to a daughter, so it's a daughter. I had your elder sister first, and then you. You show it on your face like this. What do you think your mother-in-law will think? Huihui had a difficult delivery and suffered a lot. Even if you really want a son, you shouldn't do this." Sun Qiaoling said.
Du Jianguo felt desolate, as if no one in the world could understand him. He couldn't tell anyone, let alone his own mother. Du Jianguo said gloomily, "I understand."
"Go and hug Huanhuan, and see how beautiful she is. She is your flesh and blood, and will call you dad from now on. Don't look so dead and make a fool of yourself. It won't look good if you get the reputation of favoring boys over girls." Sun Qiaoling added.
After hearing what Sun Qiaoling said, Du Jianguo accepted his fate. Even if it was a daughter, she might be his only flesh and blood. He nodded: "Mom, I really understand, but I just can't accept it for the time being." In fact, Du Jianguo felt that his mother's reaction was abnormal. Didn't his mother always want to hold a grandson? She was so happy even without a grandson.
"Even if you can't accept it, you have to accept it. What has been born is destiny and fate!" said Sun Qiaoling.
At this moment in the hospital room, Wang Hui woke up again. Li Fengju was sitting by the bed, dozing off. Wang Hui saw that her mother seemed to have aged a lot, and her heart ached. She called out softly, "Mom."
Li Fengju shuddered: "Huihui, you're awake. Are you hungry or thirsty?"
"Mom, why did I give birth to a daughter? It must be that the gender of my child with Zhao Yunfang was swapped." Wang Hui said sadly. She remembered that Zhao Yunfang gave birth to a girl in her previous life, and not now. She had to wait two years.
"Don't think about those things now. Huanhuan is also very good. Your mother-in-law likes her very much." Li Fengju said. She could see that Sun Qiaoling really liked Huanhuan, which made her feel somewhat relieved. She also liked her chubby granddaughter when she saw her.
"Where is Jianguo?" Wang Hui asked.
Li Fengju felt a chill in her heart when she mentioned Du Jianguo, but she couldn't say anything at this moment. She only said, "He was here just now. Maybe he went to get some water."
"Mom, have my eldest sister and the others been here?" My eldest sister must have laughed at her for giving birth to a daughter.
"Well, they left again when you weren't awake. The supplements on the bedside table were brought by them. Your eldest sister also liked Huanhuan very much and held her for quite a while."
Li Fengju felt that Wang Ying and the others had done their best. The gifts they sent were good and would provide Wang Hui with nutritional supplements. After all, they were sisters, and Yingzi had a soft heart despite her sharp tongue. "I'll make you some milk powder. I'll ask Huanhuan to try it later to help her produce milk. Huanhuan refuses to drink milk powder and only drinks milk from others."
Wang Hui was deeply unhappy. Why had she given birth to a daughter? In her previous life, her elder sister and Du Jianguo had a son, but she had a daughter. The doctor said she needed two years of recovery before she could have another child. But she didn't want to give birth. Childbirth was too painful and life-threatening. She didn't want to go through it again.
Why did it have to be a daughter? The more Wang Hui thought about it, the more upset she felt, and she couldn't even like Huanhuan anymore.
"I don't want to breastfeed." said Wang Hui.
"What nonsense are you talking about? If you don't feed her, what will Huanhuan eat? Don't be silly. She is your own daughter, the flesh and blood of your body." Li Fengju said.
Wang Hui felt that she was outdone by Wang Ying, the Wang Ying of her previous life. She also wondered if this child was the same child from her previous life who had come looking for her again. The child she had aborted in her previous life was a girl. Thinking of this, Wang Hui disliked Huan Huan even more, thinking she was here to collect a debt.
At this moment, Huanhuan started crying. Li Fengju carried Huanhuan to Wang Hui and said, "Feed her and she'll be pregnant."
Wang Hui still refused, and Li Fengju became a little anxious: "Huihui, this is your child, who are you angry with after ten months of hard work? If you had given birth to a daughter and refused to feed her out of spite, you would have starved to death long ago!"
Wang Hui looked at Huanhuan in her arms, and reluctantly unbuttoned her clothes on her chest to try to feed her. Huanhuan tried to suck a few times, but when she couldn't get enough, she started crying loudly.
Li Fengju said from the side: "I didn't hear her swallowing. She must be worried because she can't eat."
"Let's feed her with formula. I don't have any milk." Wang Hui said as she pushed Huanhuan's face away and buttoned her clothes again.
"Why are you in such a hurry? Just let her suck it again and she will get it." Li Fengju said.
"Mom, I'm tired. Let me sleep for a while." Wang Hui closed her eyes and pretended to sleep.
Li Fengju couldn't do anything about her and said, "Eat and drink something before you go to sleep!"
Wang Hui said nothing, pretending to be asleep. Li Fengju felt like she was getting a few gray hairs from worrying about it. Huihui was so naive!
Li Fengju had no choice but to make milk powder for Huanhuan. Huanhuan was in Wang Hui's arms, with her eyes closed and her mouth open, looking for food everywhere. Wang Hui secretly squinted at her, but she still couldn't like her.
Li Fengju prepared the milk powder and set it aside to cool. She knew Wang Hui was pretending to sleep, so she tried to persuade her earnestly, "Huihui, this is your own daughter. You can't just ignore her like this. Your father and I, are we going to starve you just because you two are girls? If you want a son, you can have another one later. This is your first child, you have to take good care of her!"
Wang Hui refused to listen to a word. She just felt that the child had caused her to bleed profusely and almost lost her life, and that the child was here to collect the debt.
Huanhuan couldn’t drink breast milk, but she was hungry, so she started drinking milk powder.
Sun Qiaoling and Du Jianguo returned to the ward and saw Huanhuan eating milk powder. Sun Qiaoling asked, "Huihui hasn't woken up yet? You can put her next to her and let her feed her. If she doesn't eat, her milk will dry up later."
Li Fengju felt that Wang Hui was still being squeamish around her, so she decided to leave her to Sun Qiaoling. She said, "If Huanhuan gets hungry again, let Huihui feed her. I can't hold on any longer. Qiaoling, I'll leave Huihui to you. I'm going back first."
Sun Qiaoling saw how hard Li Fengju had been working these past few days and quickly said, "Go back and rest. Jianguo and I are here."
Wang Hui, who was pretending to be asleep, heard that her mother was going back and was anxious to stop her, but she was afraid that they would say something about her, so she let her mother go.
Just as Li Fengju expected, Sun Qiaoling didn't spoil Wang Hui. She loved her eldest granddaughter and insisted that she feed her granddaughter with breast milk. She didn't care whether Wang Hui was asleep or awake. As soon as Huanhuan made a noise, she would put Huanhuan in Wang Hui's arms. If Wang Hui fell asleep, she would personally unbutton her clothes and let Huanhuan feed.
Wang Hui said she had no milk and refused to feed Huanhuan, so Sun Qiaoling told her to buy milk powder for him herself, saying that other children are born with their own food, but since she had no milk to feed her child, she would have to pay for the milk powder! Furthermore, Wang Hui was required to make the milk powder herself.
Seeing that Huanhuan couldn't suck it out, Sun Qiaoling whispered to Du Jianguo: "If Huanhuan can't suck it out again, you help her suck it out."
Du Jianguo blushed: "Mom, what nonsense are you talking about!"
"What's the big deal? It's normal! You two, what are you afraid of? Everyone does it." Sun Qiaoling said nonchalantly. "Breast milk nourishes you. You should drink a little too."
"Mom, stop talking nonsense!" Du Jianguo ran away angrily.
Thanks to the efforts of Sun Qiaoling and Huanhuan, Wang Hui began to produce milk. She had no choice but to breastfeed; if she didn't, her breasts would swell and she would feel uncomfortable, and her mother-in-law would even stare at her. Wang Hui spent more than ten days in the hospital before returning home.
After arriving home, the Du family started to prepare for Huanhuan's "third day bath". After get off work, Du Jianguo sent letters to relatives to announce the good news.
When the Du family's old lady saw that Wang Hui had given birth to a daughter, she took a look and then stomped her feet and left. Du Wenxiu and Du Wenli were delighted. They had hoped that Wang Hui would give birth to a girl so that she wouldn't show off all the time. When no one was around, they went to Wang Hui and made sarcastic remarks, deliberately saying that Wang Hui's pregnancy was not good enough and she hadn't given birth to a boy.
Wang Hui herself doesn't like Huanhuan, but the whole family dislikes her daughter, and she is unhappy. She knows that her mother-in-law likes Huanhuan, so she cries and complains about her two sisters-in-law.
Sun Qiaoling actually scolded Du Wenxiu and Du Wenli, telling them not to harbor grudges against Wang Hui during the confinement period.
On Huanhuan's third day of birth, Wang Ying and the others did not go back to Old Wang's house, but went directly to Du's house.
Wang Hui looked healthy and a little fatter than when she was in the hospital. Seeing Wang Ying and the others arrive, Wang Hui felt a little awkward, fearing her older sister would laugh at her for having a daughter. She deliberately said, "Big sister, look at my cute Huanhuan! She's beautiful! Everyone praises her!"
"Huanhuan is fine." Wang Ying said as he looked at Huanhuan who was sleeping next to Wang Hui. She looked very healthy.
Wang Hui saw that Wang Ying looked at Huanhuan with gentle eyes, and thought that her elder sister must like Huanhuan as well. She felt proud. Her elder sister had difficulty in having children, so she must be envious of her for having a child, no matter whether it was a boy or a girl.
"Sister, please hug Huanhuan and hope you can give birth to a daughter as cute as Huanhuan in the future," said Wang Hui.
Du Wenxiu was also in the room at this time. After hearing what Wang Hui said, she thought she was crazy. Who doesn't want to have a son? She was cursing her elder sister. No wonder the relationship between the sisters was not good.
Unexpectedly, Wang Ying actually picked up Huanhuan. Wang Hui thought to herself, "Sure enough, my elder sister still wants a child, but she just can't get pregnant!" Thinking of this, Wang Hui felt happy again, and felt that Huanhuan made her proud.
Wang Ying held Huanhuan for a while and then put her back to Wang Hui. She felt that Wang Hui herself had not grown up yet and had lived two lives in confusion. She didn't know what kind of person she would raise this child to be in the future.
Wang Hui wanted to feed Huanhuan, so Wang Ying and Zhao Yunsheng went out together. The two stood under the Du family's courtyard wall and talked in private.
Zhao Yunsheng smiled and said, "It seems Yingzi really wants a daughter. She seems to like Huanhuan very much."
"I can't say I like her," Wang Ying said, "but I don't hate her either. She's just a little baby now." Wang Ying looked at Huanhuan and had a strong feeling that her past life had long been over, and he felt more relieved.
"Let's have a daughter in the future, who will be cuter and prettier than theirs," said Zhao Yunsheng.
"Don't be silly. Children are not to be compared with those of other families. They are our children, so they are the best and the most unique," said Wang Ying.
Zhao Yunsheng quickly said, "You're right! I'm narrow-minded."
Li Fengju saw Wang Ying and his wife talking in the corner and came over. Wang Ying and his wife greeted her and then fell silent.
"I'm so mad at your little sister." Li Fengju finally found someone to confide in. "She's so ignorant about how she treated Huanhuan."
Wang Ying snorted and laughed, "Is this the only thing she's not understanding? I didn't teach her before and always told me to give in to her. Now you think she's not understanding."
Li Fengju was scolded by Wang Ying. She choked for a moment and then said, "Nothing happened before... She was still young, only nineteen after all. I hoped that she would understand things now that she was a mother, but in the end, she even had to be coaxed and threatened by her mother-in-law before she started breastfeeding..."
Wang Ying was annoyed by Li Fengju's rambling about Wang Hui, so she interrupted her and said, "Why are you talking to me? If you have all this spit, why don't you go educate Wang Hui and ask her to take good care of Huanhuan?"
"Mom just wants to find someone to talk to..." Li Fengju's eyes were pleading and her voice sounded pitiful.
Wang Ying ignored her and turned her head away, obviously not wanting to talk more with her mother.
"Yingzi, when you give birth to a baby, Mom will take care of you in the same way." Li Fengju said after a moment of silence.
Wang Ying was annoyed by Li Fenju's tone and manner of speaking, so he just walked away.
The Du family held a lively third-day bathing party for Huanhuan, with many relatives in attendance. Huanhuan was truly praised by everyone, and Sun Qiaoling kept calling her "granddaughter, granddaughter" and frequently asked to see and hug her.
Seeing Huanhuan being praised by so many people, her mother-in-law liking her, and even Du Jianguo becoming increasingly fond of Huanhuan, Wang Hui suddenly found Huanhuan pleasing to the eye. Furthermore, her mother's words made sense: if she and Huanhuan became estranged, then Huanhuan would become closer to her grandmother. Her daughter, she must be closest to her, so her attitude towards Huanhuan suddenly warmed up again...
