You can occasionally eat some whole grains such as pumpkin and sweet potato, but remember to use less oil and salt. Although the taste may be a little worse, Sister Fang has to endure it.
That’s basically it, you can call me anytime if you need anything.”
Li Mao listened carefully and said, "I have been grateful to you all these days."
"I told you to stop being polite. My little darling even calls me auntie."
The temperature in the room was high and the quilt had been undone. The baby, who was only a few days old and still very small, was sleeping with his hands stretched to his head. The human cub was really adorable.
After admiring the child's sleeping face for a while, Xu Manman said goodbye, "Okay, you guys go ahead and do your work, I'll go back first."
Yang Lili, who had been helping to pack up, also came out. "How's it going, Xu Zhiqing? Isn't the baby adorable?"
"That's natural."
"This child is really well behaved. He doesn't cry much, only whimpering when he's hungry or needs to poop. Unlike the other children in the same ward, they cry all night long..."
Yang Lili seemed to open up and talk. "And the adults in the same ward are also worrying. For example, the one in the bed next to Wan Fang, who has given birth to many daughters, doesn't dare to say a word in front of her mother-in-law and husband. Instead, she scolds her own daughters all day long. She also ignores her own little one, not even feeding her. She has to rely on her sisters to take care of her."
“There is always something hateful about a pitiful person.”
Xu Manman brought her into her room, and Liu Hua followed in.
"Hey, Lily, has anyone come from the house across the street?" Liu Hua asked.
"Here it comes." When it comes to this, Yang Lili is even more speechless.
"I thought the guy in the bed next to me was pretty bad, but I didn't expect the guy in the bed opposite me to be even worse. I wish I hadn't come."
"What's wrong? Tell me quickly." Liu Hua looked excited as if he was eating melon.
"The wife on the opposite bed, her husband had an accident at the factory. Yesterday afternoon, her parents-in-law and uncle came over.
As soon as she arrived, she wanted to take the grandson away, saying that she would decide to adopt the grandson to her uncle's family, and that nothing in the family would have anything to do with this daughter-in-law from then on.
Xu Manman said, "Isn't this just kicking someone out of the house after giving birth to a child?" Isn't this just another way of getting rid of the mother and keeping the child?
"Of course not. Her husband had an accident at the factory, so the factory must have provided some kind of pension. If he had worked there for a long time, he should have received some kind of house as well.
And in this case, the factory might even keep her husband's job. "With her in-laws, they'd take the child, the house, the money, and the job too." Yang Lili's father was a factory manager, and she had been exposed to these things since she was a child, so she had a good understanding of them.
"People who don't know would think the in-laws were worried about the daughter-in-law remarrying and gave the child away. I didn't expect people to be so cruel. What about the daughter-in-law? Did they just let them take the child away?"
"Speaking of this, I have to admire that daughter-in-law. As soon as her in-laws started making a fuss, she called a nurse to help take the child away, saying someone was kidnapping children again and asked the nurse to help call the police."
"This daughter-in-law is quite tough." Liu Hua sighed.
"More than that. As soon as the police arrived, she asked to invite the factory leaders and the Women's Federation. In short, she called in everyone who could be in charge. Her mother-in-law's family was so scared that they retreated into a corner.
Then, she said her in-laws wanted to take her newborn baby away. Would the Women's Federation intervene? Her in-laws wanted to seize her house, pension, and job quota. Would the factory and the police intervene?
"You're right about that. So what's next? How do we handle it?"
"We then jointly handled the matter. Her in-laws were making a lot of noise the whole time, and the police later said they would take her back to the police station before they could calm her down.
The result of the settlement was that part of the pension was divided among the parents-in-law, and the majority was given to the mother and son. The job was left to the child, and the factory also gave him 10 yuan in nutrition money every month before he came of age. The house was allocated by the factory, and no one else could live there except the mother and son.
The Women's Federation later added that if the mother remarried, the house, work and nutrition expenses could not be arbitrarily encroached upon.
They were asked to sign the agreement and put their fingerprints on it right there and then. Those three people couldn’t go back on their word even if they wanted to.”
Xu Manman nodded, "It was handled fairly."
"That's right, the patients and nurses outside are all clapping and praising." Yang Lili also felt that this result was very gratifying. If she hadn't been holding the child at the time, she would have been the first to applaud.
"Oh, this matter has caused such a big stir, but no one from her parents' home has come?" Xu Manman found this rather strange.
