Chapter 123 I Really Owe You
As they were talking, Su Qiuyan's mother, Wang Pandi, came to the door. She walked in with a basket in her hand and said with a smile, "My in-laws are here. I came to see Qiuyan. Jinwei, this is something I brought for Qiuyan. Please put it away." Then she handed the basket in her hand to Yang Jinwei.
Yang Jinwei quickly took it over, "Mom, you're here, Qiuyan is in the room."
"Yes, relative, I was just wondering to Jinwei why you hadn't come yet. Look, you're here just as we were talking. What a coincidence." Sun Erni said as she took Wang Pandi's hand and walked towards the room.
Wang Pandi pulled back her hand somewhat awkwardly and said hurriedly, "My dear relative, you go about your business. I know the way." Then she walked into her daughter's room and closed the door behind her.
Su Qiuyan in the room had heard her mother's voice a long time ago. When she saw her mother come in, her eyes were filled with tears and she said aggrievedly, "Mom, you are finally here."
Wang Pandi tapped her daughter's forehead impatiently and scolded her in a low voice: "Why are you crying? Do you still want your eyes? You cry over such a small matter. No matter how many blessings you have, they will be gone because of your crying."
"Mom, you don't know, my son is gone..." In fact, Su Qiuyan has slowly accepted the fact that she gave birth to a daughter, but she is still unwilling!
Wang Pandi sneered after hearing this, "What do you mean your son is gone? You never had a son in the first place, so stop making fun of yourself."
"Mom~"
"Alright, alright, I'm not deaf, I can hear you." Wang Pandi carefully looked at her daughter's face, then lowered her head to look at the child sleeping soundly on the bed, her heart softened unconsciously, "You should be content. Your mother-in-law and husband didn't say anything about giving birth to a daughter. If you were like your grandmother, you would have given her a try, and she would have stayed in confinement after childbirth and given you enough food to eat. That's good enough."
Su Qiuyan also knew her own grandmother's character, and curled her lips, "My grandmother is a rare bad person, and I'm not that unlucky to have met her."
"Come on, your grandmother is the majority. Your mother-in-law has figured it out, so just be content! How many times have you made a fuss about your pregnancy this time? It would be fine if you really gave birth to a son, but you don't have that fate. You should be more obedient in the future and live a good life with Jinwei."
What Wang Pandi said was true. If she had met a mother-in-law like Sun Erni when she was young, she would have laughed her teeth off.
She gave birth to seven children in total, and only the last one gave birth to a baby son. The others were either given away or died. She could only raise two daughters and one son. In fact, she didn't want to have so many children, but what could she do? This was the era. Not having a son was a sin. If her mother-in-law could be as good as Sun Erni, she wouldn't want to have a child either. So she comforted her daughter, "Qiuyan, listen to me. You should raise these two children well and don't make trouble. You are luckier than me."
"But, Mom, we only have two daughters, and I'm afraid..." All the worries in her heart were shown on her face.
Wang Pandi was really disappointed. "You are afraid, what are you afraid of? Your parents-in-law didn't force you to give birth. The Yang family already has a grandson, so it's not a family line. Doesn't your sister-in-law have two daughters? Why aren't they afraid? Besides, rich families give birth to sons to fight for the family property. What family property do you have in your Yang family to fight for? This house belongs to the factory. To put it bluntly, it will be taken back when your father-in-law dies! And there is money. Didn't you spend money to buy a job for your sister-in-law? How much money is left? There is nothing to fight for. Just live your life in peace!"
Wang Pandi's series of words made Su Qiuyan dizzy, but she still remembered to refute: "Then, then why are you so persistent in giving birth to a son, and you won't give up until you give birth to a younger brother?"
Wang Pandi couldn't help but rolled her eyes at her, "It's just my bad luck that I met a vicious mother-in-law and an incompetent husband. That's why I say you are lucky, but you still don't know how lucky you are."
"Okay, I brought you a pound of brown sugar and dozens of eggs. I asked Jinwei to put them all away. You should drink a bowl of them every day. Here, this is something your mother gave you privately. Just keep it." Wang Pandi took out some loose change from his trouser pocket and handed it over.
Su Qiuyan hesitated, "Mom, what are you doing?"
Wang Pandi sighed, "You will have to rely on your mother-in-law to take care of you during this confinement. Your sister-in-law is also pregnant and has severe morning sickness. I have to take care of her at home, so I can't take care of you here."
"But..." Su Qiuyan thought of what she had said to her mother-in-law before, and her face turned red. She had told her mother-in-law that her mother would come to take care of her. Now, this...
"But what buts? Talk to your mother-in-law nicely, how can she not take care of you? Okay, I have to go back too. I'm worried about your sister-in-law being alone at home." After Wang Pandi said this, he opened the door and walked out without waiting for Su Qiuyan to reply.
Sun Erni, who was cooking poached eggs in the kitchen, heard the noise and came out, saying, "My dear, the poached eggs are ready, come and have some."
Wang Pandi sniffed the aroma of eggs in the air, swallowed, and still refused, "My dear relative, I have something to do at home, so I'll leave first. Qiuyan and the children will need your care. You don't have to see me off! I'll leave first." As soon as he finished speaking, he ran out impatiently, fearing that he would be stopped by Sun Erni if he walked too slowly.
"Hey, you're leaving now?" Sun Erni stretched out her hands and watched Wang Pandi run away. Then she walked to Su Qiuyan's door and asked, "Qiuyan, what does your mother mean by this? Is she not going to take care of you during the confinement period?"
Su Qiuyan pursed her lips and replied, "Mom, my sister-in-law from my mother's side is pregnant and has severe morning sickness, so my mother can't leave. But she gave me money. Here, ten yuan." Su Qiuyan showed Sun Erni a big unity banknote on the cabinet. In fact, she felt a little guilty. What her mother from her mother's side gave her just now was five yuan in change. After thinking about it, she decided to change it to a big unity banknote.
Sun Erni looked at the great unity in front of her, speechless, because the money was not for her.
Seeing that her mother-in-law didn't say anything, Su Qiuyan looked up at her again and whispered, "Mom, when Xinbai was in confinement, didn't her mother from her parents' side come? You were the one who took care of her, and I..." Although she hadn't finished her words, the meaning was already very clear.
Sun Erni replied unhappily: "That's because they live far away, there's nothing I can do. Besides, Jiang Xinbai knows how to behave and give me ten yuan as a reward for my hard work." This is true, Jiang Xinbai did give Sun Erni ten yuan, otherwise why would Sun Erni like Jiang Xinbai so much? It's because she knows how to do things.
After listening to her mother-in-law's words, Su Qiuyan silently clenched the ten yuan in her hand and lay down on her side. It was impossible to ask her to pay. Besides, who knew whether what her mother-in-law said was true or false.
Sun Erni couldn't help but roll her eyes, "I really owe you."
