As soon as she entered the room, Song Yirou explained with a smile on her face: "I'm sorry, I've been on vacation abroad recently. As soon as I received the news, I was ready to rush back, but the weather happened to be bad and the flight was delayed, so I hurried back..."
Tonghua responded politely: "Mother-in-law, you didn't do this on purpose. It's great that you came."
Tonghua and Song Yirou didn't spend much time together. Sometimes Tonghua would privately ask Qin Zun if he wanted to take some time to meet his parents to express his feelings, but Qin Zun refused, saying that there was no need to disturb his father and mother's lives. Tonghua also saw that Qin Zun's relationship with his parents was not very close, so he rarely met Song Yirou.
This time when she gave birth, she had no expectation that the other party would come, so what she said now was naturally her true feelings.
But when Song Yirou heard this, she thought Tonghua was deliberately playing tricks on her. In fact, she had received the news that Tonghua had given birth a long time ago, but she was not very satisfied with Tonghua, a daughter-in-law of ordinary family. She was afraid that other ladies would laugh at her for having such a poor daughter-in-law, so she deliberately found an excuse and pretended to rush here after Tonghua had been giving birth for two days and two nights.
Originally, fairy tale was just a simple sentence, but because of Song Yirou's "guilty conscience", she thought about it a little more, and now she felt a little unhappy.
The words she said were rather unkind: "I'm not saying this as your mother-in-law, but even though you're in confinement now, you still have to observe some etiquette. If there are other guests coming, will you also receive them while lying down like this? If word gets out that our Qin family doesn't know etiquette, the impact will be huge!"
At this moment, Qin Zun pushed the door open and said, "What's the big impact?"
Song Yiru didn't expect that her eldest son, who had always been very dedicated to his work, was still at home at this time. She was about to open her mouth to teach her daughter-in-law a lesson, but was naturally choked back.
Seeing that no one spoke, Tonghua answered, "Just now, my mother-in-law said that if I met guests lying down like this, it would easily affect the reputation of the Qin family. Outsiders would say that we don't know etiquette."
In fact, Tonghua just conveyed Song Yirou's words truthfully without adding any exaggeration. However, to Song Yirou's ears, it sounded like Tonghua was complaining to Qin Zun and trying to sow discord between them as mother and son, which made her even more dissatisfied.
After Qin Zun heard this, he explained directly to Song Yirou, "Tonghua is injured, and the doctor specifically instructed her to rest in bed. Therefore, I have already rejected the condolences from relatives and business celebrities who wanted to visit our home. For the time being, no one will come to our house to disturb Tonghua's rest."
At the end, he added: "During this time, I will stay at home and take good care of her."
"Since you're going to stay at home, why don't you let your brother take care of the company? I think he..."
Song Yirou was about to say that Qin Li was also very good and could take over the company's responsibilities, but was interrupted by Qin Zun: "I have already arranged the company's affairs in advance. I will handle the rest at home."
"What's wrong with you just giving some of the work to your brother?!"
"Qin Li has never done this before. If he does it rashly, he will only mess things up..."
It felt like the atmosphere between the mother and son was becoming increasingly tense, as if they were about to quarrel. Tonghua wanted to speak up and persuade them, but didn't know where to start.
As if sensing Tonghua's uneasiness, Qin Zun sat down next to her, picked up a spoon, and said to her softly, "Come, try the red date and lotus seed soup that Sister Li cooked for you."
Just now, the mother and son were about to quarrel, but then Qin Zun started feeding her. Tonghua felt that even if she was eating a magic pill, she couldn't eat it.
Just when Tonghua didn't know what to do, a burst of crying broke the eerie silence of the room.
Fairy Tale said with a sense of relief: "Hurry up and bring the child here..."
Just as Qin Zun was about to put down the spoon and bowl and pick up the child, Song Yirou took the lead and picked up the child from the cradle, saying, "No need! I'll do it!"
Qin Zun had no choice but to sit back in his original position and continue feeding Tonghua. Tonghua was a little worried about the child, so naturally most of her thoughts were on the child in Song Yiru's arms.
Song Yirou: "Oh, look at this child, how cute he is..."
Seeing the child's crying gradually weakened, Tonghua finally let go of her worries.
But the next moment, she was no longer calm.
Song Yirou held the child for a while and said, "Since you are going to take care of your daughter-in-law, I will take care of the child."
"No!"
“Good idea!”
Two completely different voices sounded at the same time, shocking each other.
Tonghua didn't expect that Qin Zun would agree to let his mother take over the job of taking care of the child, and Qin Zun didn't expect that Tonghua would be so resistant to his mother taking care of the child.
Song Yirou didn't care what Tong Hua thought. Seeing that Qin Zun agreed, she said directly: "I'll ask someone to clean up my room right away."
After seeing Song Yirou leave, Tonghua punched Qin Zun angrily.
"How could you agree to hand our child over to someone else?"
Qin Zun said nonchalantly, "What's wrong with that? I was just worried about having no one to help. The child was crying and making you unable to rest at night, and you didn't agree to put the child in a separate room at night and let others take care of him. Now that my mother is willing to take over, and she's not an outsider, you can rest assured."
Tonghua whispered: "Even though the child will cry at night, it's okay if I have to work a little harder."
Qin Zun disagreed: "Your current health is not as good as those pregnant women who have just given birth. Don't forget, you are still injured and you should rest well. Or are you worried about my mother?"
Fairy tale silence.
Knowing what Tonghua was worried about, Qin Zun comforted her kindly, "Although my mother favors Qin Li over me, I believe she wouldn't do anything bad to her granddaughter. You didn't get enough rest at night, and I'm really worried that your health might not only not recover, but might even get worse."
Tonghua thought about her current physical condition. Because of the postpartum confinement and the serious injury to her back, she couldn't get out of bed at all. When she heard the baby crying at night, she could only watch Qin Zun coax the child night after night. She could do nothing but worry in vain.
If things continue like this, it won't be long before both of them are physically worn out.
In the end, Tonghua agreed to let the child stay in Song Yirou's room at night.
