When Wang Erni's husband Liu Cunzhi saw the baby in her arms, he asked, "Is it a boy or a girl?"
Behind him, Mrs. Liu with a pair of slanted eyes hurriedly came up to Wang Erni and untied the quilt that the baby was holding.
After seeing that thing, Mrs. Liu was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling: "Old woman, I have a great grandson now."
Liu Cunzhi was so happy that he competed with the mother to hold the child, but he couldn't win over the old lady and could only watch helplessly.
Wang Erni, who had just given birth, was left aside with no one caring about her.
Shen Yunshu's family and Liu Mianmian saw all of this and despised the Liu family from the bottom of their hearts, but since this was someone else's family affair, they all tacitly kept silent.
After a while, Mrs. Liu said, "Now that you've given birth, don't waste money. The money for the hospital stay could be used to buy malted milk for my eldest grandson. Let Cunzhi go and get you discharged from the hospital now."
"You have the final say. I'll listen to you." Wang Erni didn't feel anything was wrong at all.
After receiving instructions from his mother, Liu Cunzhi kissed his baby son on the face, then went to the doctor to arrange for his discharge.
Wang Erni said, "Mom, I gave birth to my baby in the middle of the night last night. Thanks to their family's help, I was able to give birth to Yaozu so smoothly."
Liu Yaozu was named when he was still in the womb, in the hope that he would bring honor to the family.
Mrs. Liu looked back and forth at Shen Yunshu and the others with her slanted eyes. Suddenly, she said with a smile:
"Thanks to you yesterday, I, an old woman, would like to express my gratitude to you. If you don't mind, please come to my house for a drink when my eldest grandson is one month old."
That kind of scrutinizing look made people feel uncomfortable, and Gu's mother and the others, who didn't want to have too much contact with the Liu family, refused it outright.
Mrs. Liu's face immediately turned dark, but she didn't say much.
The discharge procedures were completed quickly. When Liu Cunzhi came back with the discharge documents, Mrs. Liu and Wang Erni had already packed up their things.
Liu Cunzhi and Liu Pozi walked in front holding the child, and Wang Erni, who had just given birth, followed behind carrying things.
She was still very weak after giving birth, and it was obviously difficult for her to carry such a heavy object, so she walked slowly.
The other people in the ward couldn't bear to see this, but they didn't want to be associated with the Liu family, so they resisted the urge to step forward and help her carry her down.
"It's wishful thinking to think that you can gain a foothold in your husband's family by giving birth to a son. If you don't stand up for yourself, it will be useless even if you have ten sons. You will only be bullied in this life." Grandma Gu sees it most clearly.
"Grandma is right. It's more reliable to rely on yourself than on others or fate." Shen Yunshu couldn't help but give a thumbs up to Grandma Gu.
Mother Shen's eyes showed heartache. If her baby daughter had not been replaced, she would have been raised very tenderly. How could she say such heartbreaking words?
Wang Erni's departure was like a gust of wind, which disappeared after it blew away. The empty bed came in handy for Chen Yunshu and the others.
At noon, Wan Xinyu came to the hospital on his bike to deliver lunch. He also carried two buckets of milk powder that he had bought at a high price on the black market.
Mother Gu pretended to be angry and said, "Wan boy, you are spending money recklessly again."
"If I buy it for my nephews and nieces, it's not a waste of money." His life was saved by the Gu family, so spending a few dollars is nothing.
"Don't do that next time, you hear me?"
Wan Xinyu said seriously, "I didn't hear it."
Mother Gu: “…” She was angry but also happy at the same time.
"Flavored eggplant tastes best when stir-fried right away. I'll make it for you when you get home from the hospital. I made pigeon soup today and the egg fried rice you requested, so I added two extra eggs. And these sweet and sour pork ribs, you should eat them while they're hot, too."
"Old Wan, thank you." Shen Yunshu felt that Wan Xinyu's ending should not be so tragic, but she respected his choice.
The two thoughts collided, and for a moment she really didn't know what to do. She could only pin her hopes on Sister Meng in the underworld.
Wait until she gives birth and then talk to Sister Meng to see what she says.
The portion was huge, and Shen Yunshu couldn't finish it all by himself, so the remaining dishes were shared among the family.
Liu Mianmian's man Zhou Zhen worked the night shift. After guarding Liu Mianmian's bedside all day, he was about to go to work. Before leaving, he went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy canned food and egg cakes for Shen's mother.
"Auntie, while I'm away, I'll leave my wife to you."
"It's a simple matter. Take this back and give it to your wife."
Zhou Zhen naturally refused to accept it, and Liu Mianmian also persuaded him, and finally Mother Shen accepted it.
When she was peeling an apple for Chen Yunshu at night, she peeled an extra one for Liu Mianmian.
Because of Wang Erni’s birth in the middle of the night, no one was willing to go back to sleep today.
Grandma Gu and Old Lady Lin squeezed into the vacant hospital bed to sleep, Mother Shen and Mother Gu slept on the floor next to Shen Yunshu's bed, and the men in the family slept on the recliners in the corridor.
The next morning, not long after finishing her meal, Liu Mianmian started complaining of stomachache. Zhou Zhen was so panicked that Grandma Gu had to ask someone to call a doctor.
In this way, Liu Mianmian was pushed into the delivery room and was not pushed out until the afternoon.
A boy weighing 6.32 jin.
It was Zhou Zhen’s first time being a father, and there was no elder around. He had no idea how to hold the baby and was so nervous that he almost cried.
Grandma Gu stepped forward and taught her step by step: "...Don't be nervous... That's right... Just like that..."
Half an hour later, Zhou Zhen barely learned it. Looking at the little ball in his arms, he burst into tears with excitement.
"...Wife...from now on, my son and I will take care of you...let's live a happy life as a family..."
"I'll listen to you. You have the final say." At this moment, Liu Mianmian felt that she had married the right person.
So what if there are no parents-in-law? As long as the man treats her and the children well, works hard, and is a down-to-earth person, they can still live a happy life.
At around five or six in the afternoon, Wan Xinyu came over with a lunch box, and Shen Yunshu gave half of the food to Liu Mianmian.
Liu Mianmian and Zhou Zhen were so moved that they kept saying thank you over and over again.
Wang Erni, who is in the same ward, gave birth to a baby boy. This morning, Liu Mianmian also gave birth to a baby boy. Her belly is about to be pregnant, but why is there no movement?
Could it be that they were waiting for their father Gu Jiuyan to come back? As soon as this thought came to mind, the bitterness in Shen Yunshu's heart spread again.
Gu Jiuyan, please come back quickly!
"Old Gu, let's take a break before we go, okay?" Jiang Chen looked pale. He almost vomited from the bumpy ride back and forth from the boat to the car.
Gu Jiuyan was very firm: "No, my wife is about to give birth. I promised her that I would go back before the baby is born."
It’s almost time, and I don’t know how things are going at home?
