Chapter 54 Why don't you take care of my child?
Jiang Xinbai chatted for a few more words casually, and then prepared to leave very tactfully, leaving the mother and daughter to have a good talk.
"Xinbai, you're about to give birth, so stop running up and down the stairs and just stay at home." Sun Erni looked at her daughter-in-law's round belly and her eyelashes trembled.
"Mom, I'm not going anywhere else. I'm going to go upstairs to chat with my second sister." Jiang Xinbai pointed upstairs.
But Sun Erni was worried. She quickly took off her apron and helped Jiang Xinbai walk out. "Come on, I'll help you up. When you want to come down, just shout and I'll come up to pick you up."
"Mom, it's not that exaggerated..." Jiang Xinbai didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She felt that she was in great shape and could climb five floors in one breath without any problem.
Sun Erni didn't listen to her and said without turning her head: "Xiu Fen, you stay at home first, I'll be down soon."
Jiang Xinbai had no choice but to let her mother-in-law help her upstairs.
Jiang Xinlan was also packing the children's old clothes at this time. When she saw her younger sister being supported by her mother-in-law to come in, she was startled and stood up quickly, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" But then she thought again, it didn't make sense. If she felt unwell, she should go to the hospital. It was no use coming to her!
Jiang Xinbai put one hand on her mother-in-law's hand, slowly sat down, and said with a smile: "It's okay, I'm fine. My mother is worried that it's not safe for me to go upstairs alone. Mom, please come downstairs quickly, my eldest sister is still waiting for you in the room!"
Sun Erni nodded towards Jiang Xinlan and said, "Xinlan, pay attention to Dianbai. When she is about to go downstairs, call me and I will go up to meet her."
"Oh, okay, don't worry, auntie!" Jiang Xinlan was stunned for a moment, then immediately reacted and nodded in response.
After Sun Erni left, she smiled and joked, "Your mother-in-law treats you like an ancestor. Look at how you are treated. She doesn't even feel at ease when you go upstairs. It would be unacceptable if you don't give her a grandson."
Jiang Xin rolled her eyes at her and replied unhappily, "You're just talking about things that are irrelevant. I didn't feel that way before, but now that the birth is getting closer, I'm a little stressed. But fortunately, my mother-in-law has also figured it out, so I don't think she will be too disappointed."
She and Jinsheng had already agreed that he should keep an eye on her mother-in-law when she gave birth and call a doctor if anything was wrong. She couldn't possibly scare her mother-in-law into falling sick by giving birth, right?
"Is your mother-in-law so open-minded?" Jiang Xinlan didn't believe it.
"Never mind her. Anyway, the baby is in my belly. We'll talk about it when the time comes. Oh, by the way, I didn't tell you that Sister Jinsheng is back. She's the one I haven't seen for a long time. She's so beautiful..."
Jiang Xinbai and his friend were talking animatedly upstairs, while Sun Erni and her daughter downstairs also had endless things to say.
Yang Xiufen handed over the red envelope again and said with a smile: "Mom, this is a gift from Zhou Yu and I to you. Please accept it!"
"Look at you, you said you don't want it anymore."
"It's not a big deal, don't worry!" Yang Xiufen stuffed ten big unity notes into the red envelope, a total of one hundred yuan, which was considered generous. But what she didn't say was that the wool sweaters she bought for the two elders cost more than 30 yuan each, and the cashmere scarf for my mother cost 18 yuan. She definitely couldn't tell them, because if she did, they probably wouldn't be able to wear them and would have to keep them as a gift.
Sun Erni really couldn't refuse, and was afraid that someone would come back suddenly, so she thought she should put it away first and give it back when she had the chance in the future.
"By the way, you and Zhou Yu have been married for almost three years, don't you want to have a child?" Although Sun Erni has not had much contact with her eldest daughter in recent years, she still knows whether she has a child or not.
"Well, why give birth so early? I'm quite comfortable on my own. When Zhou Yu is at work, I have to make do with my meals by myself. If I don't want to cook, I can eat at a restaurant. Raising a child is so hard..."
"Tell the truth." Sun Erni glared. She was the one who gave birth to both of them. How could she not know how much truth there was in her eldest daughter's words?
Yang Xiufen curled her lips and said, "It's my mother-in-law who said early on that she would not help me take care of the child, but would help my brother-in-law. How can I bear this loss? Then don't give birth. Anyway, I'm not the one who is anxious."
Sun Erni was so angry at her eldest daughter that she was speechless. She didn't want to have a baby just because of this? She was so willful.
"Then Zhou Yu will let you do as you please?"
"He is happier than I am!" Yang Xiufen blushed when she thought of how her husband was clinging to her every day. In fact, she was also very happy.
"Oh, you two are such idiots. If you don't have children while you are young, you won't be able to have children when you are older."
Sun Erni was worried about the two of them, especially Zhou Yu, who was six years older than Xiufen and was already 29 years old this year, but he was not worried at all. He was really very broad-minded.
Yang Xiufen rolled her eyes and said with a smile, "Mom, you are so anxious, why don't you wait until I give birth and come to take care of the baby for me? Look, our new home is close to here, if you are willing to go home, you can go back and forth, if you are not willing to go home, you can just live at my place, what do you think?"
"I don't think it's a good idea. Do I have the time to take care of your children? You're dreaming. What have you been doing?"
Sun Erni refused without even thinking, saying that she couldn't even take care of her own granddaughter, so how could she have the energy to take care of her grandson. But she thought that her eldest daughter was really pitiful, so she still said, "Well, it's okay if you want me to take care of the child. You can leave the child here and I'll help you."
Yang Xiufen waved her hands, "Forget it, Mom, I was just teasing you. Don't worry, the baby is not far away. Zhou Yu's mother has been anxious for a long time. Humph, if she can take care of the baby for the old and the young, then I will never have a baby. I estimate that it will be this year. You see, we have been transferred back, and she is urging us again."
"You stupid kid, why do you have to be taken care of by your mother-in-law? Wouldn't it be better for you to not go to work and take care of the children yourself? You can take care of them yourself." Although Sun Erni also has a mother-in-law, she raised these five children by herself. The older ones took care of the younger ones, and they grew up together. She didn't feel how hard it was.
"I don't care. Anyway, I want to treat everyone equally. My Zhou Yu gives five dollars a month to my parents-in-law for their retirement. Why can't he take care of my child?"
Yang Xiufen raised her chin. Anyway, she was not in a hurry. As far as she knew, her parents-in-law had their own pension, and with the money they gave, it was all subsidized to her brother-in-law. She didn't care about these, but she had to help take care of the child because she had to go to work~
Sun Erni waved her hand and said, "Okay, we'll talk about it later. By the way, when will Zhou Yu come?"
"In the evening, he just reported for work today and has a lot to do, so he can only wait until he gets off work. By the way, Mom, how is Xiumin's study? Are you sure you can get into a technical secondary school?"
