Even though Qin Hanshu showed no signs of giving birth, the hospital suggested that she could postpone her hospitalization, but Zhou Weiguang refused.
He said that given Liu Ercui's experience, it would be better to be cautious.
Qin Hanshu then went with him.
Zhao Chunmiao came to visit during my hospitalization.
Qin Hanshu asked in surprise, "Mom, what brings you here?"
Zhou Weiguang also looked surprised, indicating that he was unaware of the situation.
Zhao Chunmiao said with a smile, "I'm here to take care of you during your postpartum period. You two are unfamiliar with this place, and your father and I are worried about you without anyone to help you!"
"If a woman doesn't take proper care of herself during postpartum confinement, she'll suffer from health problems for the rest of her life! So I came right on time, and I didn't expect to be so accurate, haha!"
Qin Hanshu remained silent for a long time.
You could tell that Zhao Chunmiao was really thinking about her.
Qin Hanshu: "But it's such a long distance, it's too much trouble for you."
Zhao Chunmiao retorted, "What's the trouble?! It's just the cost of two train tickets! I'm asking you to reimburse me for that!"
How much would two train tickets cost? Zhao Chunmiao was clearly trying to liven things up.
Qin Hanshu smiled obligingly and said, "Okay! I'll reimburse you!"
Zhou Weiguang, being his biological son, felt less moved and more taken for granted by Zhao Chunmiao's arrival.
"I was just wondering what was going on, Mom, you've come at the perfect time."
Zhao Chunmiao smiled at her son and talked about some family matters.
"Ever since Lan Hua got married, your second brother and sister-in-law have been urging us to move to the city, but your father is unwilling, saying that he can't bear to leave his hometown and that we should wait until he is too old to move around."
Zhao Chunmiao curled her lip, "Do you think no one can't see it? He just can't let go of the little power he has."
Zhou Weiguang laughed and said, "I never realized before that Dad had such a strong desire for officialdom."
Zhao Chunmiao scoffed: "He's good at putting on an act in front of others! But I sleep on the same kang (heated brick bed) with him every day, how could he put on an act in front of me?"
Zhou Weiguang and Qin Hanshu both laughed.
Zhao Chunmiao added, "By the way, your younger sister Lanhua is also pregnant."
Qin Hanshu asked, "Really? How old are you?"
Zhao Chunmiao said, "It was only discovered last month, so it's only been about three months. I plan to take care of you during your postpartum period, and then look after the baby for two more months before going back. When I get back, I'll have to prepare to take care of Lan Hua again."
As she spoke, Zhao Chunmiao sighed with emotion.
It seems like their whole lives revolve around their children.
Qin Hanshu: "Lanhua's in-laws...doesn't her mother-in-law take care of her during her postpartum period?"
Zhao Chunmiao waved her hand.
"Her mother-in-law hasn't mentioned taking care of her during her postpartum period yet, but the eldest sister-in-law from the Yang family is a troublemaker. She always compares herself to Lan Hua and complains to Lan Hua every day that her mother-in-law didn't help her at all when she gave birth. Isn't she just saying that on purpose for Lan Hua to hear?"
"If her in-laws take care of Lan Hua during her postpartum period, won't she be incredibly jealous? How will Lan Hua ever have a peaceful day?"
“I simply said I wouldn’t rely on her mother-in-law anymore, I would take care of her myself! She’s my own daughter, it doesn’t matter if she helps out a little more or a little less.”
Qin Hanshu remembered that Zhou Ruilan had told her about this sister-in-law before. Even before Zhou Ruilan married Yang Guangyu, she was quite good at causing trouble.
Moreover, Yang Guangyu's attitude in handling the situation at the time was quite unsatisfactory.
Qin Hanshu had instructed Zhou Ruilan to properly train and teach Yang Guangyu, but regardless of the outcome, the two ended up getting married.
Thinking of this, Qin Hanshu asked, "How are Lan Hua and Yang Guangyu doing? Yang Guangyu seems to have a good personality and should be easy to get along with."
"The young couple gets along very well. Guangyu is indeed good-natured and treats Lanhua well too." As Zhao Chunmiao spoke, the smile on her face faded.
"It's just that she has a bit too good a temper. She's so gentle with everyone, which sometimes makes Lan Hua angry."
Zhao Chunmiao rambled on about a few things, all trivial matters of daily life, but if this continued, Zhou Ruilan would probably suffer a lot more.
At this point, Qin Hanshu could only comfort her, saying, "In the end, the couple has a good relationship. As long as Lan Hua stands on her own two feet and doesn't let Yang Guangyu's personality hold her back, life will be better."
Zhao Chunmiao nodded and said, "That's what I told her too. Guangyu's personality has been ingrained since he was a child, so don't expect to change it for him. But he must take charge of the important matters in the family."
As the two were talking, Zhou Weiguang went out and came back in a while later, carrying a lunchbox.
The hospital provides nutritious meals for pregnant women, but Zhao Chunmiao looked at them and said, "These don't look very nutritious. I'll cook them at home and bring them to the hospital for you next time."
The nutritious meal includes meat, vegetables, and eggs, which is much better than a regular meal.
Zhao Chunmiao said, "I also brought two old hens from home with me this time. We'll stew them after you give birth."
Qin Hanshu chuckled, "How did you manage to bring the old hen all that way?"
Zhao Chunmiao said, "I took care of the cat the way you did last time. I made a cage and put food and water in it, but it pooped a lot, which was quite disgusting."
Qin Hanshu laughed.
At this moment, Zhou Weiguang said, "Mom, if you want to cook, you can borrow the stove in the hospital."
Zhao Chunmiao said happily, "We can use the hospital's? That's great, it'll be much more convenient that way."
Next, Zhao Chunmiao stayed with Qin Hanshu in the hospital, cooking her different delicious meals every day.
After staying in the hospital for four or five days, Qin Hanshu finally went into labor.
It must be said that the scene of Liu Ercui giving birth last time had some positive influence on Qin Hanshu.
Seeing how easily Liu Ercui was born, she became even more relaxed.
