Zhu Zi's father smiled broadly. Although he said he was embarrassed, Yu Jiu could tell from his face that he was quite embarrassed.
Yu Jiu has fed his grandson more than ten times in the past few days. Xiao Xi has also been discharged from the hospital, so he should be able to breastfeed now, right? If he can't breastfeed, they should buy formula or find a way to feed the child.
She could help once, twice, three times, four times, five times without any problem, but Yu Jiu was getting a little annoyed that he brought the child to her every day to feed him. This wasn't her son, and besides, she had just gotten home. Her daughter hadn't even had a bite to eat yet, and he was already feeding his grandson.
Yu Jiu took a deep breath and asked Zhu Zi's father, puzzled.
"Has Xiao Xi not recovered yet?"
Xiao Xi was discharged from the hospital after several days and has been recuperating at home ever since. It is said that she had a lot of bleeding and is quite weak. Her family has made a firm demand that Xiao Xi not work in the fields to earn work points for the next few months. At most, she can stay at home and take care of the children. If they dare to mess with Xiao Xi again, they will come to her door and they will stop being relatives.
Zhu Zi's family still had some sense of shame. After being threatened by Xiao Xi's family, they became obedient and didn't let Xiao Xi go out to work these days. Xiao Xi stayed at home. Yu Jiu went to check on her and found that her condition wasn't so bad anymore. Logically speaking, she should be able to breastfeed.
"She's already recovered, but her family is being unreasonable. They won't let Xiaoxi go out to work and want her to stay home and be lazy. As her father-in-law, I can't say anything, so I can only let her rest and take care of the children at home."
But she's really useless. She doesn't produce enough breast milk, and my grandson is starving. Plus, she looks so pale and thin, so her breast milk probably doesn't have any nutritional value. Unlike you.
"Yu Zhiqing, you've fed An'an so well, he's so chubby and healthy. I also want my grandson to have a few good meals, so I'd like to trouble you to feed him a little longer. When he's a bit older, we'll feed him rice cereal, along with his mother's breast milk, and he shouldn't go hungry then."
Zhu Zi's father still looked at Xiao Xi with a hint of disdain, but when he looked down at his big, fat grandson, he smiled again. Perhaps he felt that he was the one who brought this big, fat grandson to Yu Jiu to ask for milk in the first place, so even when Zhu Zi's mother came back, she didn't bring him over; it was all Zhu Zi's father who took care of him.
He wasn't afraid of being embarrassed.
However, it would take at least four or five months to feed his chubby grandson until he's eating rice cereal. His grandson is only a month old, which means Yu Jiu would have to feed him for at least another three months. Isn't that a bit too shameless?
"I'm sorry, I've been too busy to feed her lately. Besides, my An'an is growing bigger and bigger and she's eating more and more, so I'm afraid I won't be able to feed your Xiao Kang."
Yu Jiu refused outright and decisively. If she had initially softened her stance for Xiao Xi and the child's sake, now that it was causing her trouble, Yu Jiu was unwilling to help anymore, so she simply rejected this unreasonable request.
"What! How much can a little girl like An'an eat? And she's not even as big as my Xiao Kang! How could she possibly eat that much? She could definitely feed my Xiao Kang a little more."
Yu Zhiqing, do you not want to help me with this? I really don't want to trouble you either. It's embarrassing for me, a man, to come to you about this, but the child is still young, and I have no choice. His mother is so useless; she's still lying in bed and refuses to get up, and she doesn't have much breast milk. You can't just watch the child go hungry, can you?
You've helped us so much these past few days, so please, as a good Samaritan, help us a little longer, okay? At worst, I'll have my son Xiaokang recognize you as his godmother, okay? That way you'll have another son, and An'an will have a companion.”
Zhu Zi's father kept saying he was embarrassed and didn't want to cause trouble, but his words actually revealed a sense of superiority, as if it was Yu Jiu's honor to be able to feed his eldest grandson.
Furthermore, she made his grandson recognize Yu Jiu as his godmother. Who is taking advantage of whom? Yu Jiu has her own children, so why would she recognize someone else's son? It's not like she enjoys being someone else's mother.
Yu Jiu got a little angry and became even more determined to refuse.
"You said your Xiaokang is already big enough, so he must be well-nourished. My An'an is so small, she needs to eat more so that she can grow well, grow tall and strong."
"There's no need for this 'adopting a godmother' thing. I have my own child; I don't need another one. Uncle, you should take your child back. I need to go see my child too."
Yu Jiu was about to go inside when he said he wanted to, but they had been standing at the door talking for so long, and Xu Zijiang hadn't come out carrying An'an. They figured she wasn't home. Sure enough, Yu Jiu opened the door. The yard was empty, and the room door was open; they weren't there. Zhu Zi's father had initially thought that someone as easygoing as Yu Jiu wouldn't refuse such a reasonable request, after all, the child was so young and innocent, and Yu Jiu had been doing this for his grandson for so many days—why had she suddenly stopped feeding him? He couldn't understand it.
“Yu Zhiqing, we’re all neighbors, please help me out. Let my grandson eat something, what if he gets hungry? What’s the point of An’an, a girl, growing so tall and strong?”
She doesn't need to drink that much, and although you might be able to have a son in the future, you don't have one yet, do you? If you adopt our Xiaokang as your son, it will be good for you in the future. Having another son means having more support, don't you think?
"I didn't ask you to do anything, just to feed the baby. Just by feeding him, you get a son for free! What a great deal! If I didn't think you were such a good person, Yu Zhiqing, I wouldn't have let my big, fat grandson recognize someone else as his godmother."
Yu Jiu refused, but Zhu Zi's father actually followed him in carrying his grandson. He spoke with absolute certainty, his sense of superiority overflowing.
Sure enough, Yu Jiu's feeling was correct; he did have a sense of superiority, feeling that Yu Jiu had given birth to a daughter, which was not as good as their big, fat grandson.
"I can't feed him, Uncle. You should take the child back. I don't want to argue with you. I want a son. I can give birth myself. Even if I can't, I don't feel like I'll have no one to rely on for the rest of my life."
I have a husband and a daughter, and I have a job. Even if I don't work or earn money, I won't starve. I don't need my son to secure my later years. You can like your grandson, but please stop speaking ill of my An'an. I respect you because of your age and because we are neighbors, so I haven't insulted you.
You'd better take your son Xiaokang home now and never bring him here again! I don't want him!
