Zhou Yang was completely in a mess. As the mess got worse, the due date was getting closer and closer. Two weeks before the due date, Chen Xinyi started her maternity leave.
Then, with about a week left, Lin Xiaoman packed up her belongings and took Shen Xinyi to a private hospital specializing in obstetrics and gynecology.
The best obstetrics and gynecology hospital in Wu City is, of course, also the most expensive.
As soon as Chen Xinyi was hospitalized, Li Jing came the next day. After some polite greetings and concern, her Pacific Police attribute couldn't help but break out.
"Mother-in-law, this hospital is not cheap, right?"
Although medical insurance can cover part of the cost, the cost of private hospitals is definitely double that of public hospitals.
"This room is big, just like a hotel. How much is it per night?"
"The bed fee is 800 yuan a day," Lin Xiaoman answered truthfully. Chen Xinyi was staying in a single VIP ward. The room was spacious. In addition to the hospital bed, there was a small bed against the wall, so the accompanying caregiver could also sleep comfortably. It also had everything you need, including a TV, refrigerator, sofa, bathroom, and even a simple kitchen.
The conditions are good, so the price is naturally not low.
"800, so expensive!" Li Jing raised her voice. She was used to saving money. In her opinion, the bed fee in the hospital was at most 70 or 80 yuan a day. This was 10 times more!
This is a five-star hotel!
"It's okay. Our family doesn't need this little money anyway." Lin Xiaoman said it proudly, then smiled and asked her, "How can you be so stingy about such a big thing as having a child? Don't you agree, mother-in-law?"
"Haha, yes, yes, having a baby is such a big thing, we can't save money." Li Jing's expression was a little stiff. She swallowed all her words about being frugal, and her smile was also stiff in agreement.
Although she was extremely dissatisfied with this extravagance and waste, what could she say?
Lin Xiaoman's words "My family doesn't lack this little money" left Li Jing speechless. She felt that if she said anything else, it would seem that the man's family was poor!
In the past, Li Jing could confidently educate Chen Xinyi to be frugal because she felt that her family was rich and her daughter-in-law's family was poor, so she had the right to say this.
But now, her daughter-in-law's family is richer than hers, and if she says this again, she will seem stingy and petty.
This is basically the same as when rich people save money they are called frugal, while when poor people save money they are called stingy.
"By the way, mother-in-law, look at Xinyi's belly, it's so pointed. As the old saying goes, a pointed belly means a boy!"
Without mentioning the money, after a few seconds of silence, Li Jing changed the subject.
Whether the child is a boy or a girl is definitely a major concern. As an older generation, although she does not have a serious patriarchal mentality and does not insist on having a boy, Li Jing prefers a big fat grandson after all.
"Boys and girls are the same nowadays." Lin Xiaoman chatted with her with a smile, "Society is different now. Boys are not the only choice. Girls nowadays are so powerful that boys can't compare to them at all. Look at my daughter Xinyi, she's a ready-made example! At this age, how many men can earn Xinyi's salary? Mother-in-law, don't you agree?"
Li Jing felt a sinking feeling in her heart. This was clearly a subtle mockery of her son's low income!
I'm so angry!
Although she was angry in her heart, on the surface, Li Jing could only smile and agree with Lin Xiaoman, "Yes, Xinyi is really capable. It's mainly because of your good teaching, mother-in-law!"
Her disappointing son's salary hasn't increased much in recent years!
Because her son earns little, Li Jing herself feels ashamed.
"I'm an illiterate person who didn't even graduate from elementary school. How can I teach her? Xinyi has to work hard on her own. Success always comes with hard work and perseverance!" Lin Xiaoman looked proud and praised her daughter like a woman selling melons. "Besides, Xinyi has been smart since she was young. A fortune teller predicted her fortune when she was little, and she said she would be rich in the future."
She just wanted to roll her eyes in her heart, but Li Jing still agreed on the surface.
Just like this, Lin Xiaoman kept on bragging and criticizing her with hidden meanings. Li Jing cursed in her heart, but could only smile and agree with her.
Perhaps Li Jing had a myocardial infarction because of Lin Xiaoman's anger. The next day, Li Jing did not come. However, on the third day, this man came again and had another awkward chat. After sitting for a while, Li Jing went back on the pretext of having something to do.
Then on the fourth day, before Li Jing came, Shen Xinyi's water broke and she was pushed into the operating room to give birth.
Lin Xiaoman waited outside the operating room and called Zhou Yang.
In less than half an hour, Zhou Yang came over, and another half an hour later, Li Jing and Zhou Dagui also arrived.
"Hasn't the baby been born yet? How long have you been in there? What did the doctor say? Can it be a natural birth? Is there any danger..." As soon as Li Jing arrived, she pulled Zhou Yang aside and asked a lot of questions.
Zhou Yang answered a few questions. Actually, he didn't know either, but no doctor came out to say anything to their family members. The doctor didn't communicate with their family members, which was definitely good news.
When a doctor comes out to discuss things with the family, that's when something bad is going to happen.
Several people waited outside the operating room like this. After about two hours, a nurse came out and called out, "Family members of Chen Xinyi, please come here and follow the child..."
"Here it comes!" Li Jing hurried forward and asked anxiously, "Nurse, is it a boy or a girl?"
"boy."
Li Jing's face was filled with joy. She grabbed Zhou Dagui's arm and said excitedly, "Old Zhou, did you hear that? Boy, we have a grandson! We are going to be grandparents!"
