Chapter 208 Can’t you just take care of the child at home?
In a blink of an eye, a month passed quickly, and Yang Xiufen also finished her confinement. After two more days of rest, she was ready to go back to work.
"Xiaoyuan, mommy is going to work soon to earn money for your milk powder. You, just follow grandma and be a good boy..." Yang Xiufen teased the child. Well, you know what, she really didn't want to go to work and just wanted to stay at home with the child. It turned out that women are different after giving birth.
At this time, Zhou Yu walked in with a sullen face. Seeing his wife holding the child and smiling happily, he felt a little uncomfortable facing her for a moment.
Seeing her husband's expression, Yang Xiufen jokingly asked, "What's wrong? Is someone making you unhappy?"
Zhou Yu took a deep breath, looked at his wife and said, "Xiufen, Mom probably can't come to take care of the children for us. She sprained her waist..."
Yang Xiufen got angry when she heard this, "Zhou Yu, if your mother really doesn't want to take care of you, just say so. Why are you making up nonsense? Be careful not to hurt yourself."
She didn't believe that she had sprained her waist. She was full of energy yesterday, and she sprained her waist overnight? That was too coincidental, too coincidental to be believed.
Zhou Yu got a little angry when he heard this. "Xiu Fen, look at what you said. My mother doesn't want to do this either. Old people have fragile bones and it's common for them to sprain their waists. How can you doubt her?"
"I doubt her? Zhou Yu, ask yourself honestly, is your mother too lazy to take care of my child? Why would she run to your brother's house every few days to take care of me during the confinement period? Is there silver or gold in your brother's house that attracts her so much? Oh, no, there are two precious babies here, but the one in our family is just a piece of stone, how can grandma like him?"
Yang Xiufen was really angry. You said that it was okay for her to go to her brother-in-law's house during the confinement period, and she didn't say anything anyway. But how come her mother-in-law sprained her waist just when she was about to go to work? Isn't it obvious? She just didn't want to take care of her child.
Zhou Yu lost confidence after hearing his wife's question, and said, "Well, my mother is partial, I admit that, but I thought that since she agreed to take care of our children, she wouldn't do these tricks. Don't think too badly of my mother."
After all, she is his biological mother, and she was not around in the past few years, so Zhou Yu still has some filters for his mother.
Yang Xiufen was too lazy to argue with him about this, she just spread her hands and asked, "What do you think we should do about Xiaoyuan? I have to go to work the day after tomorrow, and you have to go to work too, so who will take care of the child? You can't just tie him to your belt, right?"
Zhou Yu also had a headache. He rubbed his temples and said irritably, "Put this aside for now. There are still two days left. Let me go see my mother first!"
"I..." Yang Xiufen wanted to swear, but when she looked up, she saw her husband's annoyed face. She didn't want to add fuel to the fire, so she turned her head and said, "If you want to go, go by yourself. I won't go."
Zhou Yu also knew that his wife was angry, but since that was his mother, he was in a dilemma and could only coax both sides. "Xiufen, I'll go see mom first, you stay at home and look after Xiaoyuan." After saying that, he walked out.
Yang Xiufen suddenly thought of something and stretched out her hand to stop him, "Wait, I'd better go with you!"
"Huh? Why are you suddenly..."
Yang Xiufen rolled her eyes at him, "Is it okay if I have a good heart?"
Zhou Yu was so happy when he heard her words, and he praised her repeatedly: "Xiu Fen, I know you have a good heart. My mother's incident happened by chance. You can't blame her. She didn't want to do it. Don't you think so?"
"Yes, yes, you are right. Are you still going to leave? Hurry up."
Yang Xiufen didn't want to say anything to her husband, this fool. Did he really think his mother was biased? She wanted to see if her mother-in-law really sprained her waist, or was she pretending to be so, because she didn't want to take care of her children?
"Okay, let's go. Let's go now." Zhou Yu went downstairs first, holding the child.
When the two of them rode their bikes to the downstairs of Zhou Yu's brother Zhou Feng's house, Yang Xiufen was more careful and did not let her husband walk in front. She put the child in his arms and ran upstairs in two steps. Then she put her ear to the door to listen for any sound inside. But she didn't know if they spoke too softly or what, but no sound came out from inside.
As soon as Zhou Yu went upstairs, he saw his wife eavesdropping. He turned his head away helplessly, thinking out of sight, out of mind.
Seeing that she couldn't hear anything, Yang Xiufen coughed twice, reached out and knocked on the door, saying, "Xiaoyue, we're here to see mom. Open the door!"
Old Mrs. Zhou and Fang Xiaoyue were sitting in the room eating melon seeds. They became panicked when they heard Yang Xiufen's voice. Some of them hid the melon seeds, some pretended to be sick, and they were very busy. Fang Xiaoyue looked at the plate of melon seed shells, turned around and looked around the room, and poured them directly into the closet.
Old Mrs. Zhou got anxious when she saw this. "Xiaoyue, how could you dump melon seed shells into my closet? How could you..."
"Mom, this is not a hurry, it's okay, I will reorganize your wardrobe after my sister-in-law leaves."
"No, you don't need that." When Mrs. Zhou heard that her daughter-in-law was going to move her wardrobe, she became even more anxious.
Who is Fang Xiaoyue? She is Old Lady Zhou's niece. She immediately understood what Old Lady Zhou said. She chuckled and said, "Mom, lie down. I'll go open the door for my sister-in-law."
Fang Xiaoyue wiped her hands, opened the door of the room and went straight to the front door. When she opened the door, she saw Yang Xiufen and her family of three. "Brother and sister-in-law, Mom just needed to go to the bathroom, so I helped her first. It would be a little late if I didn't open the door."
"Really? Thank you for your hard work, sister-in-law. I thought you were going to hide something." Yang Xiufen looked at Fang Xiaoyue with a smile. Haha, it seems that her mother-in-law's back injury is a bit serious.
Fang Xiaoyue's smile froze, her eyes began to evade, and she walked straight into the house, saying as she walked: "Brother, sister-in-law, Mom is in the house, come in quickly."
"It's the eldest brother, right? Ouch, my waist is really hurt. I'm too old and can't do it anymore." Before Yang Xiufen and the others walked into the house, the voice of Old Lady Zhou was heard from inside.
Zhou Yu frowned when he heard his mother's voice, and walked in directly with the child in his arms, past Yang Xiufen, "Mom, how are you? Afeng said you sprained your waist, what exactly happened?"
Old Mrs. Zhou lay flat on the bed, turned her head to look at her eldest son Zhou Yu, and said with a wry smile, "Alas, I am old and useless. This morning I wanted to buy a chicken for Xiufen to nourish her body, but when I squatted down and stood up, I sprained my waist. At first I could walk home by myself, but now it hurts every time I move. Mom is not worried about anything else, but I was supposed to take care of Xiaoyuan, but now I can't do it either, and Xiufen has to go to work, what should I do?"
After hearing this, Yang Xiufen sneered in her heart, the fox's tail is finally exposed, even if there is no one to take care of the child, you won't let me go to work, right?
Thinking of this, she smiled more gently, "Mom, look at you, you even sprained your ankle and you're still worried that no one will take care of Xiaoyuan. Don't worry, if it really doesn't work, just send Xiaoyuan to a nursery, it'll just cost a little more money."
"How can that be? Can't you just take care of the child at home?" Old Mrs. Zhou blurted out.
