"Tongtong! Tongtong! I miss you so much!"
As soon as she entered the door, Tang Shiyao gave Tonghua a big hug.
Fortunately, the wound on Tonghua's back has healed a lot now, otherwise she would definitely have been injured by her passionate hug.
Tonghua was half lying on the bed, pretending to be angry and said, "My confinement period is almost over, and you just came to see me. Are we still good friends?!"
Although the fairy tale was a bit exaggerated, her confinement period had indeed lasted for more than 20 days. Naturally, Tang Shiyao felt a little resentful that she had only come now.
Speaking of this, Tang Shiyao immediately started complaining, "This is all because of your dear husband. I told you a long time ago that I wanted to come see you, but he said you had just given birth and was very weak, and the baby was also fragile, so it was not suitable for people to see me. It was obvious that he treated me as an outsider. I was so angry that I couldn't sleep all night. I was exposed to the wind by the river all night, which caused me to catch a cold the next day. How could I dare to come to see you with a cold, so as not to infect you? Look, as soon as my cold recovered, I rushed to see you!"
"Then I'll let you go this time, but don't do this again!"
"Don't worry, there won't be a next time. Next time, I'll be by your side to watch your child being born. Oh, and where's your baby? Why didn't I see him when I came into the house?"
After saying a lot of things, Tang Shiyao started to look for the child all over the room, but she looked left and right and could not find the child. Normally, when a family has just given birth to a child, there should be a lot of children's clothes in the room, but in this room, apart from a baby cradle, there are very few things belonging to the child.
Speaking of the child, Tonghua's cheerful mood suddenly turned cold, and she said darkly, "The child is not with me."
Tang Shiyao asked doubtfully, "If the child is not with you, his biological mother, where else can he be?"
Tonghua said calmly, "Probably in my mother-in-law's room."
"You actually have a mother-in-law?! Why haven't I ever heard you mention it?"
Tang Shiyao gasped and acted very exaggeratedly.
"I didn't have much contact with her before, so naturally there's not much to talk about. Now she's living here and helping take care of the kids."
"Don't you have so many servants at home? Why do you still need her to look after the children?"
As soon as she entered the door, she saw that there were many servants in their villa, some cleaning and some watering the flowers. It would not be difficult to add one or two nannies. How could it be that the mother-in-law had to take care of the child?
Fairy Tale lowered his head silently.
Tang Shiyao noticed Tonghua's melancholy and guessed that something must have happened.
Tang Shiyao said cautiously: "Tongtong, tell me, what happened? Did your mother-in-law take advantage of you after giving birth to bully you?!"
Tonghua sighed: "She didn't bully me, but I don't know why I'm unhappy. Maybe it's just like that for all women who have just given birth."
Tang Shiyao insisted that this was not the case: "Tell me the situation in detail and I will help you analyze it."
Tonghua then told Tang Shiyao everything that had happened during this period.
After hearing this, Tang Shiyao immediately said firmly: "Your mother-in-law wants to separate you and the child!"
Tonghua was horrified and immediately asked, "This is impossible. Why would she do that?"
Tang Shiyao guessed, "Maybe she's not satisfied with you as her daughter-in-law?"
"But after I finish my confinement, she will leave, and she can't take the baby away from me. Isn't this a waste of effort?"
During this period, Tonghua had to bring the child to her mother-in-law for care. After she was out of confinement, she would naturally take care of her child herself. By then, her mother-in-law would have no reason to stay. Tonghua could not see that her mother-in-law had any ill intentions towards her.
"Not necessarily. I know there's a way a mother-in-law uses to disgust her daughter-in-law: if you're unhappy, she'll be happy. Didn't you just say that she wasn't very satisfied with you as a daughter-in-law... Tongtong, you're in big trouble!"
"But maybe I'm overthinking it?"
Tonghua still found it hard to believe that a wife who lived a life of luxury and handled things well in a wealthy family would deliberately use such despicable means just to disgust her daughter-in-law and make her life difficult.
But when she thought about it carefully, she became less happy every day since her mother-in-law came, but she couldn't tell why.
She has been comforting herself that she is very happy now and is a happy family of three. She has so many people taking care of her after giving birth. Qin Zun also chose to work at home in order to spend more time with her. The child also has special people taking care of him, so she doesn't have to worry about it.
But as time went by, Tonghua always felt that there was something stuck in her heart, making her depressed.
Tang Shiyao carefully analyzed the situation to Tonghua: "Let's start from the beginning. You said you gave birth to the child in the hospital two days later. When your mother-in-law came, she said she was delayed because of something. But think about it, which flight would be delayed for two whole days due to weather? Even if that was the case, couldn't she change her flight? It's obvious that she didn't want to go to the hospital to visit you, so she made up an excuse..."
"I didn't care whether she came or not, and she came when I was in confinement after giving birth."
"But this at least shows her attitude towards you. She clearly didn't care about you having a baby, so why did she change her attitude later and help you take care of the child? Don't you think this change in attitude is a bit too big..."
After such analysis, Tonghua gradually felt that something was not right.
She said hesitantly, "Then I'll take the child over now?"
Tang Shiyao said with some dismay: "Tongtong, you still don't understand where the problem lies? The most critical issue now is not the child, but your husband. Have you told him about these things that are wrong?"
"He did, but he comforted me by saying I was just too sensitive after giving birth."
Tang Shiyao said angrily, "I knew it! Men are always so thick-skinned when it comes to things like this."
Although Tang Shiyao's parents were a loving couple, she had heard a lot about the methods used by mothers-in-law to torture their daughters-in-law in their circle of rich wives. The main purpose was to make people feel uncomfortable and unable to express their grievances. Many wives cried to their husbands about their mothers-in-law's meanness to them, but in the end, the matter became a big deal and they were only accused of being unreasonable and had to endure the loss in silence.
Tang Shiyao had been used to seeing those things since she was a child, so she naturally noticed that something was wrong at the first moment.
"So what should I do now?"
Tang Shiyao took Tonghua's hand and comforted her, "The most important thing for you right now is to focus on taking care of yourself. Don't worry too much. As for the child, leave it with her for the time being. Don't forget, you still have a tough battle to fight!"
