Chen Suwen crossed her arms and looked at He Caiping and Shen Wenxiu, mother and daughter, and sneered, "Yes, you don't know, do you? Your parents brought your younger brother back to the city."
"They arranged for him to take early retirement due to illness and even 'found' him a job. I heard it's as a helper in a food factory canteen,"
Shen Wenxiu's father was the head chef of the food factory canteen and had excellent cooking skills. Shen Wenxiu inherited her father's culinary talent and made delicious food.
But her father didn't teach her cooking; he only taught his own son.
Shen Wenxiu's older brother didn't like cooking. He became a factory worker in a food processing plant and didn't enjoy dealing with the stove every day.
Shen Wenxiu's second brother studied very diligently with his father, but he later went to the countryside, so Shen Wenxiu's father, Shen Yunfei, turned his attention to his youngest son.
It's a pity that Shen Wenxiu's younger brother was very spoiled, his parents doted on him, and he didn't like cooking.
Of course, no matter how much he disliked it, he still followed his father's teaching in order to gain more of his parents' favoritism.
However, his talent wasn't that great, which greatly displeased Shen Yunfei.
However, he had no intention of passing on his culinary skills to Shen Wenxiu, who had a better talent for cooking, and still maintained the idea of passing on his skills only to men.
This time, he arranged for his youngest son to work as a kitchen helper in the food factory canteen, hoping that his son could continue to learn cooking skills from him and eventually take over his job as the head chef of the canteen.
Shen Wenxiu frowned slightly, while He Caiping was quite angry, "What's it to you?"
"You're quite nosy about the affairs of our Shen family."
Chen Suwen sneered again, "Isn't this just me copying what others are doing?"
"You meddle in the affairs of our Zhou family, so I'll meddle in the affairs of your Shen family. It's called reciprocity, don't you know?"
He Caiping choked.
Clearly, she had also thought of what she had just said about Zhou Cunzong instigating his parents to divide the family property, but people are always hypocritical.
She can persuade her son-in-law to divide the family property, but her son-in-law's family cannot interfere in their family affairs.
"Alright, I'm too lazy to get involved in your Shen family's affairs. Anyway, I'm not the one who's going to suffer."
Shen Wenxiu didn't say much.
She's a married woman now, so she can't interfere in her family's affairs.
Her parents didn't really like her managing her natal family's affairs after she got married. For example, when her sister-in-law caused a scene at home last time, her parents didn't let her get involved.
"I'm too lazy to talk to you." He Caiping didn't dare to continue arguing with Chen Suwen, lest she really cause trouble for her own home.
She knew, of course, that she was biased, and even her eldest son was unhappy about her younger son's return to the city this time.
The eldest son and daughter-in-law were furious when they found out that she and Lao Shen had put in a lot of effort to help their youngest son return to the city and even bought him a job.
They all felt that since the fifth brother had gone to the countryside as an educated youth, he should stay in the countryside obediently like the second and third brothers.
If someone in the family is capable of getting a job, it should be given to the eldest son's wife.
He Caiping felt a headache whenever she thought about her family's affairs.
The eldest son's wife was no good; after marrying her, the eldest son became estranged from his family.
It's all the eldest son's wife's fault for whispering in his ear; otherwise, why would the eldest son be angry because she dotes on the fifth son?
The fifth brother is the eldest brother's younger brother, a biological brother from the same mother!
...
He Caiping left in a dejected manner. She had originally wanted to persuade her daughter and son-in-law to separate the family property, but when she left, her mind was full of her family's troubles.
Chen Suwen looked at her daughter-in-law on the hospital bed and asked, "How did the doctor's examination go? Can you be discharged now?"
In this day and age, even when giving birth in a hospital, the hospital stay is not too long; some people may be discharged in just one or two days.
Those who can stay for seven days are extremely rare.
Chen Suwen had no intention of letting her daughter-in-law stay for a full week, as she was well aware of her daughter-in-law's health condition.
Moreover, when her daughter-in-law is discharged from the hospital and goes home to recuperate after childbirth, her healing abilities can also help her recover, preventing her from developing any lasting health problems.
"The doctor said there's nothing seriously wrong; Wenxiu's condition isn't considered very dangerous this time," Zhou Cunzong replied to his mother.
Actually, the doctor was also surprised.
When Shen Wenxiu was brought here, the person who brought her said that she had fallen and had a miscarriage, and the doctors originally thought she would have a difficult delivery.
She was pregnant with twins again, and the doctors thought the mother's condition would be very bad this time.
Surprisingly, her condition was very good, much better than many women who had natural births.
There are no lasting effects now, and she can actually be discharged tomorrow.
“Okay, you can stay in the hospital for one night and go home tomorrow.” Chen Suwen said, then looked at Zhou Cunzong, “Can you look after the two children tonight?”
Zhou Cunzong really wanted to nod, but in the end he honestly shook his head.
It was his first time becoming a father, and he had two children. He had no confidence that he could take care of his wife and children.
Although Chen Suwen kept her brows furrowed, she decided to stay and help look after the child.
Everyone else in the family is busy.
Zhou Qingyun and his eldest son Zhou Cunzhi both have to go to work tomorrow, so there's no need for them to stay up all night taking care of the children.
Moreover, it's not easy for the two of them, both grown men, to take care of their daughter-in-law/brother's wife. And the eldest daughter-in-law, Xu Huixue, is also busy; she has two children of her own to take care of.
So it was only her mother-in-law, who didn't need to take care of the children and didn't have a job, who could take care of them.
Chen Suwen glared fiercely at Zhou Cunzong. After just one night, she would never interfere in helping take care of the child again.
It's definitely not easy to take care of babies at night, especially when they whine and cry for diaper changes or milk in the middle of the night.
