Chapter 517 I'll Fight Him
"girl."
Mother Yan said to Chen Ci with a serious expression, “You just said that Xizi helped you, and he trusted you so much that he entrusted his wife and children to you, so you must help him, right?”
Shen Ci nodded.
Yan's mother continued, "Then Auntie will treat you as one of her own. Auntie doesn't ask for anything else. You must talk to her more and ask her to think about Xizi and not divorce him, okay?"
"Auntie, how can this matter be resolved by words alone?" Shen Ci changed the subject and took the initiative to speak.
Upon hearing her say this, Yan's mother looked puzzled and asked, "What do you mean?"
Shen Ci thought for a moment with a serious expression, then said, "I think my sister-in-law is actually a very emotional person. Now that she and my brother have two children, she will definitely not easily think about getting a divorce."
"But if she is constantly being interfered with and pressured by external factors, then it's hard to say."
"External factors?" Yan's mother was puzzled, her brows slightly furrowed. "What do you mean?"
Chen Ci hesitated for a moment and put on a troubled expression: "For example, my brother's younger brother, I heard that he was asking around for my sister-in-law's address. I also promised my brother that I would take care of my sister-in-law and the child. I wanted my sister-in-law to be able to give birth quietly, so I placed her with me to prepare for the birth."
"We are all brothers, and my sister-in-law just gave birth to a child. If my brother and his younger brother continue to do this at this time, wouldn't this push my sister-in-law away?"
Mother Yan thought seriously about Shen Ci's words, and after thinking about them, she felt that they made some sense.
Shen Ci continued: "And you, Auntie..."
"I?"
"Yes, your role in this is actually more important."
"What do you mean?" Yan's mother became more serious when she heard it.
"Look, my brother is in there now, so you are the bridge between my sister-in-law and this family. People are all made of flesh and blood, and women are at their most vulnerable after giving birth. So as long as you treat my sister-in-law wholeheartedly and sincerely during this period, how can she still think about those messy things?"
As Yan's mother listened, she nodded, thinking it made sense.
"Instead of worrying about her divorcing my brother, I think you should treat her well for my brother, your eldest grandson and granddaughter, and your sister-in-law. Will she be willing to leave this family? My brother will be released in a few years..."
"That's no problem. I'm here to take care of her during the confinement period." Yan's mother said quickly.
Shen Ci struck while the iron was hot and praised her: "Of course you can do it. After all, you are a woman and a mother. If you put yourself in her shoes, you will definitely be willing to do anything for your child. The same goes for my sister-in-law. Will she have the heart to watch the child without a father? If she is not pushed to the limit, she will definitely not divorce."
Mother Yan nodded in agreement, thinking that Shen Ci’s analysis of women’s psychology was very accurate.
At this point, Shen Ci said again: "So, Auntie, you know very well who made my sister-in-law want to leave this home. If you want to keep my sister-in-law, you have to be on the same page with her!"
Mother Yan stood still, her brain, which was not very bright to begin with, was trying its best to digest Shen Ci's words.
Chen Ci knew from her reaction that her words would definitely work, so she washed the apple and said, "Auntie, please think about what I said here calmly and think about whether it makes sense. I will definitely help my brother, and you must also consider my brother. Then we have to work together. If we go in different directions, won't it be a tug-of-war between us?"
"Let's work together..."
"Yes, I will persuade my sister-in-law to remember my brother, and you can try your best to treat her well. Together, we will definitely help my brother keep his wife, children, and all his property!"
Mother Yan nodded subconsciously, and Shen Ci smiled slightly: "Please think about it again, I will go back first, my sister-in-law can't be left alone by her bed, and a man alone can't be relied on."
Leaving these words, Shen Ci turned and left.
In the ward, Wang Zhaoning counted the time and saw that a long time had passed but Shen Ci still hadn't returned. She didn't know what the two had talked about.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, she subconsciously wanted to lean over to see who it was, but Shen Ci walked in quickly: "Sister-in-law, don't move."
Seeing that she was alone, Wang Zhaoning couldn't help but ask quickly, "Where is she?"
Shen Ci sat down calmly, picked up a fruit knife and began to peel the apple: "Maybe he was a little confused by what I said, and he is digesting it by himself."
As she spoke, she looked up at Wang Zhaoning and said, "My guess is correct. This old lady might be sincere in her kindness to you, but Yan Wentao must have told her something. She wants to get the property left by my brother."
"I felt it too. I sensed something was wrong the moment she asked me." Wang Zhaoning murmured, "Your brother's mother is uneducated and indecisive. She deliberately disguises her personality and appearance as tough and aggressive so that she won't suffer any losses when raising a child alone."
"She's easily influenced. When your brother was around, she listened to him in everything, and Wentao didn't dare say anything. Now that your brother is in jail, she only has this one son around her, so naturally, she'll listen to whatever Wentao says."
Chen Ci cut off a piece of apple with a knife and handed it to Wang Zhaoning, saying softly, "Don't worry about it. I'm with Yan Wentao. I'll confront him. Since the old lady is soft-hearted, let's see who has the better tongue."
"Listen to me. From now on, keep talking about my brother's goodness in front of Auntie and let her know your feelings for him. Then, from time to time, mention the pressure and trouble Yan Wentao has caused you. You don't need to do anything else."
"Being in a bad mood during the confinement period will affect your recovery. Don't let yourself develop any postpartum illnesses. How am I going to explain this to my brother?"
Wang Zhaoning couldn't help but smile when she heard this: "I know. For your sake, I will take good care of myself. You can eat it too. It's quite sweet."
After a long while, Yan's mother finally returned. As soon as she entered the room, she shouted with a happy face: "Zhao Ning, let's clean up and change the ward."
Wang Zhaoning was stunned and didn't react for a moment: "Huh?"
"Mom just asked, and the best ward in this hospital is the single suite with a sofa bed. That way, Mom doesn't have to go back and can stay here to take care of you."
"This ward is still a little small. My daughter-in-law must stay in the best one. Just lie here and don't move. Someone will come and push you over. Mom will pack up your things. Young man, come in and help."
Duanduan heard the sound at the door and walked in, subconsciously glancing at Chen Ci.
Shen Ci suppressed her smile and nodded, then Duanduan stepped forward and extended her hand.
After exchanging glances with Wang Zhaoning, the two knew that the little old lady had taken Shen Ci's words to heart.
