Because he had classes in the afternoon, after lunch and packing up, Lin Xiaoman left the keys to the two of them and then left.
Around work time in the afternoon, Liang Youyi took Yang Huizhen to the hospital again and showed the doctor the results. All indicators were good. However, Yang Huizhen was an elderly mother, so Dr. Li continued, "Take care of your health and avoid overexertion. If conditions permit, it's best to stay with someone for 24 hours."
After confirming the date of the next prenatal check-up and leaving the hospital, Liang Youyi sent Yang Huizhen to her residence, and then drove back alone. He wanted to go back and pack Yang Huizhen's daily necessities and deliver them to her tomorrow.
On the other side, Lu Jun took his son and mother to play in the mall for the whole afternoon. It was around 4 o'clock when they returned to their parents' home. Lin Xiaoman came back five minutes later.
On the way back, Lin Xiaoman bought some food. She didn't stay for dinner, but went back with her son Lu Xian.
"Mom, I'm back."
"Mom." Lu Jun called out reluctantly.
The three of them were living a good life, but his mother-in-law suddenly came over with a big belly. He really couldn't laugh.
Yang Huizhen's mind was completely on her grandson Lu Xian, and she didn't notice Lu Jun's displeasure. After responding, she pinched Lu Xian's face with joy, "Oh, Xiaobao is getting more and more adorable."
"Xiaobao, call someone, call grandma."
"Grandma, ok."
"Hey, little baby is so cute!" Hearing Lu Xian's baby voice, Yang Huizhen felt her heart melt. She touched her belly with anticipation. She felt that the decision to have another child was really the right one.
After a few words, Lin Xiaoman prepared to cook, but little Lu Xian was very clingy to his mother.
As long as Lin Xiaoman is around, she will stick to her mother unless she is tricked away with food.
While making dinner, Lu Xian cried out for his mother more than 10 times. Lu Jun was exhausted from trying to coax the child and felt more tired than after a day's work.
Although Lu Jun usually takes his son out to play on weekends, he is more like a driver. The ones who actually take the child out to play are either Lin Xiaoman, the mother, or Zhou Xia, the grandmother.
Letting Lu Jun, the father, raise the child alone would be a complete chaos.
Lu Jun felt very upset when he thought that if he couldn't ask his mother-in-law to leave, the task of taking care of the child would fall on him.
I hurriedly put together a dish and started eating.
Lin Xiaoman ate a few bites in a hurry and then started feeding the child. Lu Xian was not picky about food, but he was the kind of child who ate very slowly.
Feeding him requires a lot of patience.
Yang Huizhen and Lu Jun had finished their meals, and Lu Xian had only eaten half a bowl.
While Yang Huizhen wasn't paying attention, Lin Xiaoman fed her and winked at Lu Jun.
Long before, Lin Xiaoman and Lu Jun had discussed the issue of Yang Huizhen moving in, and they reached a unanimous agreement that it was not possible.
The original owner was free during the summer vacation, and since she was filial, she agreed. At that time, Lu Jun and Liang Xi were still on good terms, so Liang Xi said a few words and Lu Jun acquiesced. But even though he acquiesced, Lu Jun was still unhappy in his heart.
Unwilling to do anything, coupled with the bumps in life, the snowball of conflict will only get bigger and bigger.
Therefore, instead of living together and having conflicts, it is better to nip the conflicts in the bud early on. As a person, you must learn to say no.
Of course, as a daughter, she couldn't say these words, but since Lu Jun was her son-in-law, she could say them.
In a couple, one has to play the good cop and the other the bad cop.
After receiving Lin Xiaoman's look, Lu Jun pondered for a few seconds, then looked embarrassed and asked, "Mom, Xiaoxi said you want to stay at our house for a while?"
"Yeah." Yang Huizhen nodded. Looking at Lu Jun's obvious expression, she also understood that her son-in-law was unwilling.
"Xiaojun, you don't disagree, do you?" Yang Huizhen asked back somewhat unhappily, feeling that her son-in-law was a little unfilial.
Can't you see that it's inconvenient for her because of her big belly? She's only staying here for 3 or 4 months, and she's not happy about it?
"Mom, you can see that Xiaoxi still has to go to school and is very busy on weekdays. Besides, the child is still young and can't leave her alone for a moment. How can she have time to take care of you?"
In his mind, he thought, "Yes, I disagree." When he spoke, Lu Jun was somewhat tactful.
If the mother-in-law is sick, as a child, it is her duty to take care of her. But now they want to have a second child, why should his wife take care of him?!
When a woman gives birth, it's her husband, mother-in-law, and mother who take care of her. How can a daughter take care of her? When his wife was pregnant and giving birth, weren't he and his mother running around to take care of her?
"Don't worry, I can take care of myself." Yang Huizhen retorted.
"Mom, stop kidding. You know, Xiaoxi didn't do anything when she was just over five months old. My mom took care of all the housework. Are you supposed to buy groceries, cook, and do laundry by yourself when you're pregnant? Is that really convenient? And don't even think about eating out. Is the food there clean? What's more, if something happens, how am I going to explain it to my father-in-law? I can't bear the responsibility."
"Hubby, how can you talk like that!" Lin Xiaoman criticized, acting like a filial daughter and helping Yang Huizhen. "My mom's situation is special, isn't it? What's wrong with us helping take care of her?"
"This situation is special and we didn't cause it! Is it appropriate for us to take care of them?" Lu Jun said confidently, "Life is only a hundred years long. Our parents raise us for the first twenty or so years, then we raise our children for the next twenty or so years, then we support our parents for another twenty or so years, and then we enjoy the care of our children for the last twenty or so years. Generation after generation, each age group has their own responsibilities, and now we're not even thirty yet, and we have to take care of both the young and the old. Isn't this exhausting?"
"Lu Jun! My mom is just going to stay for a few months, why are you complaining?" Lin Xiaoman continued to play double duty, pretending to be angry and defending Yang Huizhen. "My parents paid for this house in the first place. My mom wants to live here, so why can't she do it? As for what you said, at worst, I can just quit this part-time job. I'm willing to take care of my mom, is that not okay?!"
"Liang Xi!" Lu Jun also raised his voice, including his full name. "Didn't my parents pay for it? Didn't I not agree to let them move in when you were not happy about it? Now your mother wants to move in, why can't my parents? And don't forget, we have to pay the mortgage! If we don't make money, we'll starve to death."
"What's your attitude!" Lin Xiaoman slammed the table...
Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, although Yang Huizhen was very dissatisfied with her son-in-law Lu Jun, she felt sorry for her daughter and did not want the young couple to have a conflict, so she took the initiative to say, "Okay, okay, stop arguing. I'm not staying here anymore, okay?"
