Thinking of this, Zhong Lingshan burst into tears. Hua Min, who was sleeping next door, thought that her granddaughter had woken up. She jumped out of bed and walked to the door and was about to knock, only to hear that it was her daughter-in-law crying. What happened to her?
"Knock, knock, knock!" Hua Min knocked on her son's door.
"Chen'er, is Shanshan feeling unwell?"
Lu Chen was speechless. He also felt that his wife was baffling. Wasn't it just that his second sister-in-law was pregnant again? Why should she be sad?
"Mom, Shanshan is fine, she just has a little breast swollen." Lu Chen lied casually.
Hua Min opened the door and went back to her room. Looking at her third granddaughter sleeping soundly on the bed, she shook her head. Is the third granddaughter crying because her second child is another daughter?
I don’t know if it’s because Zhong Lingshan is depressed or because she’s not getting enough nutrition and her milk supply is insufficient.
Lu Yirui would cry every time she drank milk. At first, Zhong Lingshan tried to hold it in, but she still kept crying even when she got up in the middle of the night to feed her. She was so angry that she blurted out, "You little girl, you're here to collect your debts."
Lu Chen looked at Zhong Lingshan coldly, "As a mother, how can you talk about your child like that?"
"What's wrong with me? If she's not a girl, then is she a son? I'm not wrong that children are debt collectors." Zhong Lingshan argued unreasonably.
Lu Chen didn't argue with her. He understood that his wife was unhappy because she didn't give birth to a son. When he went to work and his mother was not at home because she was buying groceries, his wife took their eldest daughter out.
His eldest baby told him personally that his wife called her a money-loser and a dead girl, and even threw things at her.
Lu Chen wondered, is a son really that important? He felt that gay men had a very hard time. After starting a family and building a career, men were responsible for everything at home and outside. They had to take care of the elderly, love the children, and coax their young wives. Their lives were spent fighting for them.
When Zhong Lingshan was in confinement after giving birth, Lu Chen would not argue with her even if he felt uncomfortable. If she didn't listen after he said a few words to her, Lu Chen would not say anything more.
Zhong Lingshan was in a miserable situation. Seeing that her man didn't pay much attention to her, she began to suspect that Lu Chen was looking for a woman outside and wanted her to give birth to a son for him.
Lu Chen gritted his teeth and wanted to curse, but in the end he endured it and simply arranged for his mother to sleep with his wife at night, and he would sleep with his eldest daughter to avoid a quarrel when they met.
Hua Min was very depressed when she saw her daughter-in-law going crazy every day. She tried to persuade her but she didn't listen, and even if she did, she wouldn't change. Every day, the adults and children cried too, making the house a mess.
As soon as Zhong Lingshan was out of confinement, Hua Min directly suggested that she would go over to take care of He Na while she gave birth.
This made Zhong Lingshan even angrier. She picked up a pair of scissors and cut off her two pigtails with two snaps. It made people's eyebrows jump. What was she doing?
"Why did you suddenly cut your hair?" Hua Min said somewhat unhappily.
"Mom, doesn't she have to go take care of my younger siblings? I have two children to take care of, so I don't have time to take care of my hair, so I might as well cut it." After saying that, she slammed the scissors on the table.
"Are you mad at me? What right do you have to be mad at me? When I gave birth to my first child, my mother-in-law didn't take care of me for a single day. It was my mother who came to help. If you are dissatisfied with me as your mother-in-law, I will leave today."
Zhong Lingshan sneered, "Mom has wanted to leave for a long time, because I didn't give birth to a son for your Lu family, so I hurried over to take care of my younger siblings."
"Yihan is still young, and Hena is pregnant. If I don't go there a month in advance, Yihan probably won't even be able to eat well."
"Yes, Yi Han is my precious grandson. My Yi Wei and Yi Rui are just little girls who don't need my care. So let the three of us fend for ourselves!"
Zhong Lingshan was like a lemon spirit, with a sour mouth and thorns all over her body. Hua Min was speechless when she met such a daughter-in-law.
"You just talk nonsense all day long. I've already taken care of you during your confinement period. You don't have a job anyway, so you can take care of the child yourself in the future. When I go to Xiaoyu's house, I will only take care of He Na until she's done with her confinement, and then I'll go home."
"I don't care. Mom has to stay at my house to help take care of the kids. I know you'll definitely stay at my younger brother's house for the New Year, and I'll help take care of the kids."
Zhong Lingshan cried and acted like a rogue, but Hua Min didn't buy it and went back to her room to pack her luggage.
While cleaning up, she scolded him, "Zhong Lingshan, you are so heartless. I have been so kind to help you raise your Jiaojiao, but you are not grateful. Now I have finished taking care of you during your confinement.
How dare you yell at me? Who gave you that face? Your father and I don't rely on you for support, and we don't owe you anything. It's fine if you disrespect me, but you even dare to act like a spoiled child. It's just... it's just..."
Hua Min was so angry that she was speechless. She wanted to curse but couldn't say anything. The anger was stuck in her chest and it was really pissing her off.
What if Zhong Lingshan did whatever she wanted? She had originally planned to stay for a few more days, but now she didn't want to stay any longer.
As a mother-in-law, she has done what she should do and there is nothing else she can do.
She said that she would go back after taking care of He Na during her confinement period. She said she would definitely go back. How could she stay at Xiaoyu's house and not go back?
The second daughter-in-law is pregnant again and is due to give birth to her third child in the first half of next year. As a mother-in-law, she must go back to take care of her. She can't just ignore her and show favoritism, right?
Hua Min packed her luggage and went straight to find her son Lu Chen. No matter how much Zhong Lingshan made a fuss, she couldn't stop her mother-in-law from leaving.
After Hua Min left, Zhong Lingshan took out her anger on her two children. She would not hit the younger one, but would just curse at him a few times, but she would hit the older one directly.
If Lu Yiwei is beaten, she will definitely go to Lu Chen to complain. As long as Lu Chen argues with Zhong Lingshan, Zhong Lingshan will throw a tantrum and say that Lu Yiwei is disobedient, why can't she manage the house well, she is not good to her little sister, and she can't even wash diapers.
Before, it was because his mother was around and his wife was in confinement after giving birth, so Lu Chen always gave in to her.
Now that his mother has left and his wife has finished her confinement, Lu Chen doesn't want to indulge Zhong Lingshan anymore. After a big fight with her, he found a way to get some proof and some milk powder tickets. He bought a few bags of milk powder and took care of his little daughter by himself at night.
From the late stage of pregnancy to the end of the confinement period, they had not been together for at least several months. Zhong Lingshan could not stand this cold violence.
She gave in after just two days. What else could she do if he didn't give in? She was worried that Lu Chen would divorce her. If they really divorced, it would not be difficult for Lu Chen to find a wife with his current position.
But she was in a difficult position, after all, she had given birth to two children, both girls. If she had given birth to two sons in a row, others might want her because of her ability to give birth to sons.
Although she was not convinced, Zhong Lingshan finally calmed down. She thought that if her mother-in-law didn't come home during the New Year, she would go to her sister-in-law's house and have a good talk with her.
If she went home, she would have Lu Chen send the three of them back to the compound, and she would go home once every two weeks, running back and forth between her in-laws' house and her own. Needless to say, she had a pretty good idea.
