Chapter 51: Mother's Love Trap
Five days later, Wan Guifen was discharged from the hospital with her daughter who had no blood relationship with her. At that time, Wu Yong looked a little embarrassed and awkward.
Because he met Zhou Mengyu's husband Zhao Fenglin, who politely thanked Wu Yong in person and then focused all his attention on his wife.
When Wu Yong saw Zhao Fenglin, he already felt a little ashamed of himself. Not only the other person's height and appearance, but also the clothes he wore, his decent conversation, and his overall demeanor, all showed that he was not on the same level as him.
Wu Yong smiled reluctantly and explained politely:
"Zhou Mengyu and I were high school classmates. We lost contact after she went to college. If my wife hadn't given birth in this hospital, we wouldn't have met!"
"Then we are destined to be together. I don't know if you are my lover."
Zhao Fenglin had seen all kinds of people and could tell at a glance that Wu Yong was uncomfortable, but he did not show it. The incident happened suddenly, and it was indeed this inconspicuous man in front of him who helped his wife.
No matter what the other party's purpose is, the fact that he can say this now means that he does not intend to embarrass the other party.
"My wife is in good health. She gave birth naturally to a girl, weighing 15 pounds and 200 grams."
Wu Yong said with a smile.
"Congratulations on the birth of your daughter! Meng Yu also gave birth to a girl."
"My daughter is doing well. She is my father's little cotton-padded jacket."
Wu Yong said sincerely.
"My wife and daughter were discharged from the hospital today, so they left first."
Wu Yong didn't want to say anything more and was the first to say goodbye. The two men shook hands and walked away, and Xiao Lianyi became the daughter of Wu Yong and Wan Guifen.
Wan Guifen's purpose in doing this is very simple. She wants her daughter to become a superior person and let Wu Yong's white moonlight raise her daughter, while Zhou Mengyu's daughter has to live under her.
At first she didn't take the child seriously at all. After she started breastfeeding and her chest was no longer swollen, she started to feed the child. The baby was almost two months old, but he looked like a newborn. He cried all night, disturbing the neighbors.
Wu Yong was unable to rest because of the noise, so he voluntarily transferred to the night shift, leaving Wan Guifen to take care of the baby alone. Since she was not her biological daughter, Wan Guifen naturally would not take it seriously. Little Lianyi almost cried to death, and her face turned blue and purple.
As a result, they were reported by the neighbors, who said that the couple had abused the baby because they had a daughter. They did not give her food or water, and made the child cry all day long. The child was obviously on the verge of dying.
The factory security department came to investigate that same day and saw Wan Guifen, with a rosy face, and a little baby with a weak voice and almost dying.
Now, within one day, Wu Yong and Wan Guifen became famous for their preference for boys over girls. At that time, Wu Yong was competing for the position of team leader of the technical class. Because of this matter, he was called in for a talk by the section chief and his job as team leader was ruined.
He then hurried back home, had a big quarrel with Wan Guifen, and brought his mother over to take care of the child, thus preventing the original mother from dying young.
The relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is a family relationship that will never be harmonious. Although the arrival of the mother-in-law reduced Wan Guifen's burden of taking care of the children, it also increased the family's expenses. Wu Yong's mother is a very shrewd old lady. She openly told the neighbors around her:
"This is the first time for the young couple to be parents, so it's inevitable that they do things poorly. As an elder, I naturally have to lend a hand. Besides, helping to take care of the children also reduces their burden. After a day's work, they can at least go home and have a hot meal.
Give money? How can I, as a mother, ask for money for my child? Just feed the child and raise him. We in the Wu family do not favor boys over girls. There is an old saying that flowers bloom before fruits. If the couple has a good relationship, they can have another child. As long as my body allows, I will naturally help take care of the child. "
With this series of actions by the old lady, she turned the rumor that the couple did not value their daughter into a rumor that the new parents did not know how to raise a child, which not only made life difficult for themselves but also for the child, which ended up causing misunderstanding among the neighbors.
After this incident, Wan Guifen completely gave up the idea of abusing the child. She knew that the child had nothing to do with Wu Yong, but did she dare to say it? If she dared to say it, Wu Yong's mother would tear her apart. In the eyes of the old lady, although Lianyi was a girl, she was also from the Wu family, so it was not her turn to dislike her.
When the child was one year old, the old lady raised the child to be plump and in good health. The old lady was an experienced person with high emotional intelligence, and she suppressed Wan Guifen very much. Moreover, she was her mother-in-law, and she was surrounded by employees from the same factory. If there was any slight movement, everyone in the factory would know about it the next day, so Wan Guifen changed her strategy.
If the child is thin, she will be lectured by the old lady and accused of favoring boys over girls and abusing the child, so she raises the child to be fat. She also learned a trick from palace dramas called "praising to death", and she doesn't believe anyone can say anything.
This trick was very effective. As Lianyi's weight continued to increase, the old lady stopped finding fault with her and people around her stopped making a fuss about it. Two years later, Wan Guifen became pregnant again and this time gave birth to a boy.
Now that she has her own child, she naturally wants to give her son the best, but she also doesn't want the image of a good mother that she has worked so hard to build to collapse, so on the surface she still puts her eldest daughter first, but in private her son is the one who receives all her love.
Human genes are amazing. Under Wan Guifen's "doting", Lianyi did not grow up in a crooked way. Instead, she had excellent academic performance, far surpassing Wu Junyi.
I am not as good as others, so does my child also not as good as others? This made Wan Guifen a little crazy!
Moreover, as Lian Ripples grew slowly, they resembled Zhou Mengyu. Wu Yong would sometimes frown in surprise when looking at his daughter, which made Wan Guifen alert and she began the process of fattening up her daughter.
Naturally, the original body could not refuse the love from his mother, and over time he grew into a fat man. Because of his fatness, he no longer resembled Zhou Mengyu, and the crisis was completely resolved.
Moreover, Wan Guifen noticed that her child had reached puberty and had requirements for body shape and appearance, and began to become sensitive and inferior. However, she acted as if she knew nothing, and still brought delicious food and drinks to Lianyi, and kept brainwashing her, saying that she was not fat.
When the original body was taking diet pills, she pretended not to know and did not stop it. Until the original body was admitted to the hospital, she performed again to let everyone know how much she loved her daughter. Even if her daughter was fat, she was the best. Losing weight would harm the body. As a mother, she was unwilling to do so a thousand times.
From then on, Lianyi fell completely into the trap of "maternal love" and lived her short life without knowing who her biological parents were until her death.
"Is Wan Guifen crazy? She is capable of doing such a wicked thing! Using a child who knows nothing to avenge her mentally cheating husband, this old ancestor is really blind."
