After Hua Min went to her youngest son's house, she was always worried for the first two days that Lu Chen and her eldest granddaughter would have nothing to eat while she was gone, and she was also worried that her youngest granddaughter would have no milk to drink.
She was not worried that her daughter-in-law would blame her. No matter how much she did or how well she did it, her daughter-in-law would only say that it was her responsibility as a mother-in-law.
She was also helpless. She was not a spider with eight legs. She took care of this person but not that one. Zhong Lingshan could complain if she wanted to.
In order to help the second and third daughters-in-law, the eldest daughter-in-law was unable to continue helping to take care of the triplets. She went directly to the hospital to submit her resignation and ended her own future.
Even if they, as parents, had opinions, they dared not speak out, keeping everything to themselves. She also understood that her eldest daughter-in-law must have some resentment towards her, but she would not be so eager to resign.
Fortunately, she is a sensible person. I won’t argue with her or talk about her behind her back. The good and the bad are all in her heart.
When He Na saw that her mother-in-law was absent-minded every day, she knew that she must be worried about her third brother's family.
She was due to give birth in less than a month, and she wasn't worried that her mother-in-law would abandon her for Zhong Lingshan and her daughter. Her husband was her mother-in-law's youngest son, and he was sweet-talking and the apple of her mother-in-law's eye.
If her husband were to come forward, maybe her mother-in-law would stay with them and help take care of the child. After all, she already had a son, so whether the second child was a boy or a girl wouldn't have much of an impact.
She wanted to have another son, but Lu Yu said he wanted to have a daughter, so let everything depend on fate!
While feeding her son, He Na said to Hua Min sincerely, "Mom, you can spend the New Year with us this year. I'll ask Lu Yu to bring Dad over."
Hua Min put the washed dishes back into the cupboard and turned to look at her daughter-in-law.
"I'll go back after you've given birth and finished taking care of the yard. My second son's wife is pregnant now, and we have three children at home. I'm definitely worried if I don't go back."
"My Hanhan is still little. I don't know if she will cry for a hundred days with this belly. Mom, can you help me take care of the baby for a few more months? Anyway, my second sister-in-law will have another six months to give birth."
He Na spoke in a gentle voice and looked at Hua Min with longing. Hua Min didn't know how to refuse, and it was hard to decide whether to go back for the New Year.
Today is National Day. If she gives birth at the end of the month, the baby will be three months old on New Year's Eve, February 1st. After the New Year, she will find a way to keep her mother-in-law for another two or three months, and the baby will be half a year old.
A baby who is half a year old or two months old is easy to take care of. As long as the mother-in-law is willing to stay, she can complete the one hundred days of confinement.
As long as she showed weakness and said she was not feeling well, her mother-in-law would definitely take care of her, because it was her fault for giving birth in the middle of winter.
Even if she doesn't have a migraine, she will say that she has a migraine due to the wind, so her mother-in-law will take the initiative to help take care of the child at night.
She knew that her parents-in-law preferred to be treated softly rather than harshly. If she was more alert and sweet-spoken, and flattered them and praised them at appropriate times, her parents-in-law would be open-hearted to them.
As for that self-righteous woman Zhong Lingshan, just let her continue to do so. The more she does so, the less her mother-in-law will like her.
"Mom, you can just spend the New Year here and bring Dad over when the time comes. Besides, haven't we separated? Second sister-in-law and her family should learn to live independently. Even if Mom and Dad are at home for the New Year, every New Year's Eve, Big Brother and Big Sister-in-law still spend the New Year at home on their own."
He Na pointed out that the Lu family had already split up, and she said that it was for the good of her second brother and sister-in-law, so that they could learn to be in charge of their own affairs while their parents-in-law were not at home.
She deliberately dragged her eldest brother and his wife into this. Even if they lived in the same yard with her parents-in-law, they would still celebrate New Year's Eve alone. If they also went back to the Lu family to celebrate New Year's Eve, her parents would not have to buy anything.
Hua Min also felt that it was time to train her second daughter-in-law. The eldest daughter-in-law's family would live well without their interference, and the third daughter's family did not live in the same area as them, so she could not control them even if she wanted to.
The second son's family has been living with them for so many years and they have become accustomed to it, so they might as well take this opportunity to let them learn to live independently.
Hua Min didn't say yes or no, but she had that idea. He Na noticed her strangeness and said with a smile, "If Mom doesn't have enough clothes to wear, I'll ask Lu Yu to go home and get some for you, and then make Mom a new dress for the New Year."
Hua Min suddenly thought that apart from the shoes and fabrics she received from her four daughters-in-law when they got married, she only wore a few clothes bought for her by the eldest daughter-in-law.
Unexpectedly, the fourth child was also a sensible child. Hua Min smiled and declined, "I'm not a child, so you don't need to buy new clothes. When you have time, ask Xiaoyu to call home and ask your father to send the clothes to me."
"It's too late to send it. I'll ask Lu Yu to take a day off and go back. He doesn't have any flight missions during this period."
"Okay, let Yu'er run a trip."
After listening to He Na's advice, Lu Yu took leave and returned to the Lu family a few days later, and brought back two bottles of white wine for his father.
At noon, Lu Fengnian was having lunch at home. Seeing his youngest son coming back, he asked, "Why are you back? Did you come here to tell me the good news? If you don't have time, just call me. Why did you come all the way here?"
"The weather is getting colder and colder. I forgot to bring Mom's winter coat, so I came back to get her some clothes. Dad, Mom plans to spend the New Year at my place. You should come over when you have your day off."
Before Lu Fengnian could say anything, Chen Yuhe could no longer sit still and stood up in a panic.
"What? You said Mom wants to spend the New Year at your house?"
It's over, it's over. I didn't expect Mom to really stay at Lu Yu's house for the New Year. Damn it, her intuition was right. It seems that He Na is not simple, much more powerful than Zhong Lingshan.
Her child hasn't been born yet, and the Chinese New Year is still three or four months away. How could her mother decide to stay at their house? She must be the one doing something bad.
Although my fourth sister-in-law is very young and seems easy to talk to, she is actually much more scheming than my third sister-in-law.
"I'm sorry, sister-in-law. The weather is getting colder, and it will be difficult for Nana to take care of the baby after she gives birth. You and brother may have to work hard at home this year." After saying that, Lu Yu looked at Chen Yuhe with an apologetic look.
Seeing her father-in-law's cold face, Chen Yuhe didn't dare to turn her back on Lu Yu. She sneered in her heart. They had already discussed it, so why was there any need to apologize?
Chen Yuhe said sarcastically, "You have already made your decision, what else can we say?"
Lu Fengnian looked up at Lu Yu and said, "If your mother doesn't come back, your third sister-in-law will definitely have opinions. Her child is only a little over a month old."
"Dad, I know this makes Mom feel awkward, but my son is still young and can't be alone. Third brother's Jiaojiao is already that old..."
The palms and backs of the hands are all made of flesh. If you help one and don't help another, or if someone takes care of the baby for an extra month, they will all have opinions. Lu Fengnian knows that if his wife doesn't handle this matter properly, the three daughters-in-law will definitely quarrel over it.
"You should discuss this matter with your third brother. As for the New Year, I'll stay home."
"Dad, don't you miss mom? You haven't even visited my house since I got married. Don't you want to go and see it?"
