It is indeed difficult for a young couple without the help of their parents-in-law. Shen Yunshu had a good impression of Liu Mianmian and took the initiative to say:
"The fact that we're in the same ward means we're destined to be together. If you need anything, just let me know. It'll be easy. I'll definitely help if I can."
"Thank you, sister. You are so kind."
To be honest, Liu Mianmian envied Shen Yunshu for having so many people around him, while she was alone, so there was definitely a gap in her heart.
But when she thought about her husband working diligently to earn more money to support her and the baby in her belly, the dissatisfaction in her heart disappeared instantly.
Ordinary people have their own way of living. She cannot compare herself with others. She must know how to be content. In the first two years after the child was born, life must have been hard without the help of her parents-in-law, but she can get through it.
When the child is a little older, she can send him to nursery. Then she can find a temporary job and earn money to support the family with her husband, and their life will be prosperous.
It was just dawn outside when Wang Erni was pushed back to the ward after giving birth. Shen's mother and the baby in her arms came with her.
Liu Mianmian and Shen Yunshu came forward curiously. The newborn baby was wrinkled and not good-looking, especially the flat nose, which was probably inherited from its mother Wang Erni.
Shen Yunshu praised: "This child is very well behaved."
"He was quite well behaved. It wasn't difficult to give birth to him. He came out in no time."
Mother Shen, holding the baby in her arms, now has the only wish that her daughter can give birth as smoothly as this.
Liu Mianmian asked, "Is it a boy or a girl?"
"It's a boy." Wang Erni said proudly on the bed. She had just given birth and her body was still a little weak, but her face was full of uncontrollable happiness, and the depression between her brows was also swept away.
After waiting for a long time, her son finally came. Now that she has a son, she and her daughter have someone to rely on in her husband's family, and they don't have to rely on others in the future.
Wang Erni was so happy.
Shen Yunshu said: "Congratulations, you got what you wanted."
Wang Erni's expression suddenly turned strange, but when she thought about how she was able to give birth to her baby thanks to them, she put on a serious face and thanked them.
"What happened before was my fault. I want to apologize to you. And today's matter is all thanks to you. When my man comes over, I will let him thank you."
Wang Erniu is not a bad person by nature, but she has been badly harmed by the ideas that have been instilled in her since she was a child. In her world, everyone tells her that she cannot have a baby without a boy. Having given birth to four daughters, she is obsessed with having a son.
Now, this obsession has disappeared.
"No need to thank me for helping you. Just be nice to your daughter in the future." Shen Yunshu knew that she was overstepping the bounds by saying this, but she still said it.
Wang Erni said, "Don't worry, my daughters are also a piece of my flesh and blood. As a mother, I will definitely treat them well."
A smile appeared on Shen Yunshu's stiff face. When he saw Wang Erni's pale face, he couldn't help but asked her mother to make a bowl of brown sugar water for Wang Erni.
After drinking the brown sugar water, Wang Erni looked much better, and she did not forget to thank the mother and daughter.
At around six or seven in the morning, Grandma Gu and the others came to the hospital carrying the breakfast made by Wan Xinyu.
When Mother Gu saw the baby in Wang Erni's arms, she exclaimed, "Is it born?"
"I gave birth to a boy in the middle of the night yesterday." After Wang Erni said this, she lifted her clothes and fed the child without caring that there was a man in the room.
In order to avoid suspicion, Grandpa Gu, Grandpa Shen and Old Man Lin quickly found an excuse to go out and sit in the corridor.
After Mother Gu congratulated her, her eyes fell on Shen Yunshu’s belly.
"I don't know when my daughter-in-law will give birth. If she gives birth at night, I'm afraid you and your father-in-law will be too busy to handle it. From today on, I won't go back at night. I will stay in the hospital to watch over her."
Mother Shen was also frightened by the scene last night, so she agreed.
Grandma Gu and Old Lady Lin were equally eager to stay. Shen Yunshu felt sorry for them at their age and worried that they would be tired from keeping watch, so she tried to stop them, but her words were of no use.
Grandma Gu and Old Mrs. Lin have their own ideas.
Liu Mianmian's husband Zhou Zhen also came at this time, carrying millet porridge and buns from the hospital cafeteria.
The honest and dull man saw that Wang Erni had given birth. He clumsily said congratulations to her and sat by the bed to serve his wife breakfast.
The breakfast was very light, with pan-fried buns, boiled eggs, and red date millet porridge, all made by Wan Xinyu. The pan-fried buns were filled with zucchini and eggs, and tasted very delicious.
Pan-fried dumplings with zucchini and egg filling are not only liked by Shen Yunshu, but also by other people in the family. Wan Xinyu doesn't mind the trouble and always makes a lot of them every time.
Now his status in the family is second only to Shen Yunshu and the child in her belly.
It can be said that Wan Xinyu conquered everyone in the Gu family with his cooking skills, including Grandpa Shen who was eating for free.
Smelling the delicious aroma of food, Wang Erni, who had been hungry for half the night, swallowed her saliva, and her stomach growled even more.
The gurgling sound was particularly prominent in the quiet room where only the sound of eating could be heard. Wang Erni blushed with embarrassment. She was now looking forward to her husband and mother-in-law coming over soon.
In the end, Gu's mother softened her heart. She found a clean bowl, poured some millet porridge into it, and put four buns in it to give to Wang Erni.
"You guys eat, my husband will be here soon." Wang Erni didn't want to cause trouble for others.
Mother Gu said fiercely, "Why are you arguing so much? Just eat what I tell you to. I'll take care of the child in your arms. I'll give it to you after you finish eating."
"Thank you." Wang Erni's eyes were red.
"A woman in confinement shouldn't cry. Hold back your tears." Gu's mother finally spoke softly. While holding the child in her arms, she didn't forget to scold the child's father.
It's such a big deal that my wife is giving birth to a baby, but there is no one around her. It's really a sin.
Also, why is this child so ugly? Mother Gu looked at the baby in her arms with a little disdain. She still remembered that when she gave birth to Jiuyan, he was not so ugly...
Suddenly, the baby in her arms seemed to realize something, opened his eyes, and curved his mouth as if smiling at Mother Gu.
...It’s not that ugly, thought Mother Gu.
The baby was very well behaved, not crying or making a fuss. When Wang Erni finished her meal, Gu's mother was a little reluctant to return the child.
The reluctance only remained on the surface. When her eyes swept over her daughter-in-law Shen Yunshu's belly, the reluctance in her heart was instantly thrown into the sky.
The baby coming out of her daughter-in-law's belly must be good-looking, Gu's mother thought happily.
It was almost noon when Wang Erni's husband and mother-in-law came over slowly.
