Chapter 103 Returning to My Mother's Home for Confinement

"No, mother." Sister Gu smiled.

She just wanted to have a son since she already had a daughter. It wasn't to the extent that she had to have a son. She wasn't that obsessed and would not stop until she had a son.

Mother Gu also smiled and said, "Qingshan loves young ladies."

Her three sons-in-law were very good to Xueer, but they were not her biological children after all, and Xueer was grown up and could not be as close to her as her biological father.

He has his own daughter, whom he cherishes.

Third Sister Gu snorted, "I'm not afraid even if he doesn't care about me." Maybe it's because she has a job, she is confident in doing anything now, including having children. She doesn't care about the gender of the baby based on her in-laws' opinion.

At worst, she can take the child away. At least she won't be bullied by him in the future. What's the saying? Her sister-in-law said it, and she has woken up.

Of course, she has no husband's family, and Team Leader Wang treats her very well, just for example.

She now thinks that a woman must have a job. Having a job means having money, and having money means having power, including family rights. At least if she has money, she doesn't have to look at other people's faces or ask others for money.

Mother Gu said, "What are you talking about? Qingshan is a nice place. You two should live a good life. You should also pay more attention to Hongxing."

Sister Gu said, "Mom, I treat Red Star and Xue'er equally. They are equally good. What Xue'er has, Red Star also has."

Putting aside other things, when it comes to treating children, she and Team Leader Wang, as stepfathers and stepmothers, Third Sister Gu feels that no one has done better than them, even better than their biological parents.

"Okay, Mom will just tell you." Gu's mother was relieved.

She couldn't stand those stepfathers and stepmothers abusing their children. Team Leader Wang treated Xue'er very well, which could be seen from her smiles on her face when she was eating and drinking. Compared to her, a stepmother should also be good to other people's children.

I can't say that I treat my child as my own, but I still have to live up to my conscience and not show my disrespect to my child.

Men are not like women. 90% of men ignore the children left by their ex-wife after they get married, especially if they have children with their later wife. They don't care even if they beat or scold them.

Having a stepmother is equivalent to having a stepfather.

Gu's father occasionally told Gu's mother about his childhood, and Gu's mother felt particularly distressed, so when it was her daughter's turn to become a stepmother, she had to talk about it in detail.

Sister Gu stayed in the hospital for two days and then went home, to her parents' home, Xiangyang Brigade, to recuperate after giving birth. Living in the city, Team Leader Wang couldn't cook and had to go to work, so there was no one to take care of her and the child.

On my mother's side, Su He and Gu Jianhua both had to go to work, leaving the two children at home. Gu's father had to go to the brigade to pick corn every day and had no time, so Gu's mother was left alone at home, so she couldn't go to the city to cook and take care of her during the confinement period.

We can't let Sister Gu take care of herself during her confinement period.

They decided to let Third Sister Gu go back to her parents' home to recuperate after giving birth, so that Mother Gu could take care of her grandson and take care of Third Sister Gu during her confinement.

Su He felt that taking care of his mother was not easy, as he had to look after his grandson and take care of his daughter during her confinement.

Fortunately, she took the Guyuan Pill, otherwise she would have suffered from back pain this month.

As for Sister Gu's return to her parents' home to recuperate after giving birth, Team Leader Wang was very tactful. In addition to the money for the chicken, he also gave Gu's mother an extra ten yuan as a reward for her hard work, and bought two kilograms of White Rabbit milk candy for the two children.

Third sister Gu is living with her children at her parents' home. Team leader Wang, Xue'er and Hong Xing are also living here, leaving in the morning and coming back in the evening.

A family of five lived in the newly built house of Gu's parents. Gu's parents lived in the east and west rooms.

The food for the family of five was also moved here.

Third sister Gu was in confinement at her parents' home, so all the aunties and sisters in the village who were close to the Gu family came to visit her and said a few words of greeting.

Some aunts may be friendly with you on the surface, but secretly say to Third Sister Gu, "Why is Yunlan going back to her parents' home to recuperate after childbirth? It's so bad."

"There's no one at my husband's house, where else can I go if not my parents'?" said the other aunts.

The auntie who spoke first said, "You can't go back to your parents' home to recuperate after giving birth."

The other aunties said, "You are worrying about nothing. It's other people's business. Teacher Su doesn't have any opinion on it. Why do you have an opinion?"

"I have no opinion. What opinion do I have?"

The auntie snorted twice. She felt that it was not good for a married girl to go back to her parents' home to recuperate after childbirth, as it would affect the fortunes of her brothers from her parents' home.

Anyway, the girl needs to recuperate after giving birth, so she can't go back to her parents' home.

"That's it."

The other aunts didn't understand her. Teacher Su, her younger sister-in-law, had no objection, but she started complaining on his behalf.

But Teacher Su is really nice. Girls from the city are just extraordinary. If they were in the village, when a girl went back to her parents' home to recuperate after giving birth, her younger brothers and sisters-in-law would have already made a scene.

Su He didn't care about these things. As long as her three aunts didn't interfere in the affairs between them and their husbands and didn't say anything about it to Gu's mother, everything else was fine.

Last time, when thinking back to the matter of her elder sister asking her to learn how to cook, she told her mother about it. Her mother said that her elder sister-in-law wanted her to take over the trivial chores at home in the future, such as cooking, washing dishes, cleaning the house, etc., so that her mother could have a rest.

To be honest, she didn't think so deeply at the time. She simply felt that Sister Gu couldn't bear to see her idleness and the fact that she couldn't cook. She didn't expect there was another meaning behind it.

How should I put it? It has been nearly three years since she got married, and the impression her three aunts left on her was that Third Sister Gu was not talkative, had a soft temper, was a little sensitive, and liked to think too much. But now she is fine.

Sister Gu is straightforward and impetuous, giving people a particularly refreshing feeling.

Sister Gu always called everyone "brother and sister" in a very affectionate manner with a smile on her face. She was also very good at speaking and was very caring.

For example, during the Chinese New Year, when she and Gu Jianhua went to visit the other two sisters, they would say, "It's cold, go and warm yourself by the fire." Then, the eldest sister Gu would come over, hold your hand, warm you up, touch your face, and say, "It's so cold, go and warm yourself up."

What can I say about this kind of person? They are just very good at superficial work.

But if it happens secretly to you, you won’t even know it.

Su He had always thought that Sister Gu was a nice person and she liked her very much.

Now... let's see what happens later. Anyway, her impression of Sister Gu is worse than before.

Time quickly passed and it was the end of December. Sister Gu had finished her confinement, but the murderer had not been caught yet and no one knew where he had hidden.

The matter was of great importance, so the county public security bureau reported the case to the city public security bureau. They also hired someone to draw a portrait of the man, and searched several nearby villages and hilltops, but they still couldn't find the man.

The leaders in the bureau speculated that this person must have fled to another province, otherwise if he had hidden in the mountains, he would not have been able to hide for so long.

It's freezing cold here. Even if you live in a cave you'll be freezing to death.

The area where they were located was in Khorqin in the eastern part of Inner Mongolia, bordering Jilin Province and Liaoning Province. If this person had escaped, he would probably have fled to these two provinces, or gone to another league. After all, Inner Mongolia Province was very large.

Gu's mother rocked the cot and said, "If he really escaped, I hope he won't hurt anyone else."

Su He nodded in agreement. It was his family who felt sorry for him, not anyone else. However, people who lived in that kind of family and environment probably had a different mentality from ordinary people.

My father is having an affair with my aunt, and my wife is having an affair with my uncle. Whoever is involved in this relationship will go crazy. These adults never considered their own children before doing these things. Even rabbits don't eat grass near their burrows!

This family specifically targets their own family members.

Su He felt that their psychology and brains were abnormal, just like the perverts described in the books, both physically and mentally abnormal, but they are all fine now.

This family's behavior is no different from that of animals. They do not distinguish between relatives and strangers, and are commonly known as beasts.

————

The learning system’s exams for Su He are at the end of the month, the end of June, and the end of December.

In this exam, Su He scored 100 points. She scored 100 points in the fourth grade English exam.

Su He thought narcissistically that learning English was easy, but the next second the system poured cold water on her.

[It gets harder as you go up]

No matter what, if you get 100 points in the test, you will have three chances to draw a prize. Su He drew two Guyuan Pills and an English skill card.

She and Gu Jianhua had both eaten the Guyuan Pill, and so had both of their parents, so they kept it for now. After all, this thing wouldn't go bad.

English Skill Card, Description: With this card, you don’t need to study at all, you can speak English directly like your mother tongue, which is amazing!

Su He used it without hesitation.

hey-hey.

She will read foreign history books in the future. She has learned about domestic history in the past three years and wants to read foreign history, but she cannot read foreign languages. Now, with this skill card, she can read foreign history books directly.

Also, she can speak English, so she can teach her two children in the future.

After her confinement, Sister Gu went back to work, but the family of five still lived with Mother Gu. There was no other way because the child was too young, just one month old. Sister Gu and Team Leader Wang were reluctant to leave the child, so they stayed here.

Anyway, there is a place to sleep here.

During the day, Sister Gu feeds the baby once before going to work, and once when she comes back at noon. The rest of the time, she feeds the baby with formula.

The daughter of Team Leader Wang and his wife, Sister Gu, is called Wang Yao. The two children, Hong Xing and Xue'er, like their sister very much and cherish her very much. They always fight to hold her in their arms.

However, the baby was too young, so Gu's mother didn't dare let them hold the baby for too long, so she only held him for a while.

Changyi and Changan also like their younger sister very much. They would go over to watch Xiao Yaoyao when she was drinking milk or sleeping. They also asked their third aunt why she only had one younger sister instead of two.

If they have two children, they will each have one.

That's what twins are like, they want double of everything. When the cow gave birth to a calf, the two kids even asked their grandfather why the cow only gave birth to one calf and not two. They couldn't tell one from the other.

Mr. Gu said that he was helpless when the cow gave birth to only one calf. He was thinking about whether he should sell the cow next year and raise sheep, as sheep usually give birth to two calves.

Sister Gu said to the two treasures, "Let your mother give birth to two younger sisters for you, one for each of you."

Suho, "............"

The two children said, "Mom, sister, I want two sisters."

Su He chose to ignore it. Whether a child wants a younger sister or a younger brother, it should not be taken seriously. It was purely a spur of the moment decision.

Third Sister Gu smiled and said, "Changyi Chang'an is still young now. When they are older, they can have another child. Two children are too few. If we have a few more, the brothers and sisters can help each other."

He added, "Xiao He, if you give birth to a pair of twins, it would be perfect for us to have two daughters and two sons."

Sister Gu was happy just by imagining it. She had four children, but she was pregnant twice, while others had to be pregnant four times. When those four children grew up, they would all be beautiful girls and handsome boys.

Su He, "Third sister, being pregnant with twins is accidental."

Third Sister Gu smiled and said, "I know, I just want to see how wonderful Changyi and Chang'an are."

She especially likes twins, a dragon and a pheasant. It is so rare to see two children growing up together.

Twins are rare among everyone, but it is very hard for the person who takes care of them, as they have to feed the babies with milk. If the mother has no milk, one baby can be given some milk powder or rice porridge. When they are almost grown up, both babies will be double.

No one at home who has no money or tickets can afford to support it.

Su He asked with a smile, "Third sister, if you get pregnant again in the future, will you still want me?"

This question really stumped Sister Gu. Just as she was thinking about it, Team Leader Wang came in and said, "Yes, of course you don't want to. If you get pregnant, just give birth."

His parents only gave birth to him. It's great to have brothers and sisters, so they can help each other.

This frightened Third Sister Gu. She shook her head and said, "You don't want it anymore? Are you going to give birth again?"

Team Leader Wang glanced at the little girl who was sleeping, "Let's have a baby if we're pregnant. It's not like we can't afford it. It would be better to have more children, so we can help each other in the future."

He didn't marry before because he was afraid that he wouldn't meet a good wife and that she would bully his son. When he first married Yunlan, he also thought about not having children, but later on, he found that Yunlan treated his son better than he, her biological father, did.

His son also liked this mother very much. Later, when she became pregnant and gave birth to a child, she treated his son the same as usual. He also lived with his wife's family for a month. His father-in-law and mother-in-law were both very kind to him.

My brother-in-law and Teacher Su are both very nice.

A couple without children are not called husband and wife, they are called partners living together. If something goes wrong one day, they will just go their separate ways. Only those with children are called husband and wife.

Su He smiled and said, "Then Third Sister, if you give birth to another son in a few years, we can be a couple."

Sister Gu waved her hand and said, "Let's talk about this later."

Taking care of a child is very tiring. Seven or eight years have passed since she gave birth to Xueer, and she had forgotten how tiring it was to take care of a child. But now that she has Yaoyao, she remembers it.

As they were chatting, Gu's mother came in and joined the conversation. She said, "When you give birth, I will take care of the baby for you. You can go to work without worry and I won't bother you."

"It doesn't matter if I take one or a group of them. I don't have to go to the fields now, so I can stay at home."

She can also make money, so she gives her daughter and son-in-law ten yuan a month for taking care of the children, and she is happy to do so.

Su He especially admired Gu's mother, who was not afraid of taking care of children. She took care of the two babies during the winter and summer vacations, except for the few hours of sleep at night. The two babies would not sleep and would make noise and want to play, so she felt that taking care of children was really troublesome.

Now that they are older, they are even more restless, poking here and there, never idle at all. You have to keep an eye on them all the time, otherwise something bad will happen.

Whether in the front room or the back room, when they drank water, the cups and kettles were placed high up, not on the kang, for fear that the children would be scalded by the water.

Some families are careless and leave those things anywhere, which may scald their children and then they regret it.

Not to mention the daily chores of coaxing the child to sleep and washing diapers. Raising a child is not easy.
