After finishing their meal, Yu Jiu started worrying about An An again. It wasn't good to leave such a young child like An An overnight in the hospital, especially since there was no bed for her to sleep in and she could only sleep by her bedside, which was uncomfortable.
"I don't want to go to Aunt Yan's house, I want to stay with my mother."
An An shook her head vigorously. In the afternoon, Xu Zijiang went back to cook. He originally wanted to take An An back and leave her at Gouzi's house. But An An refused. She wanted to stay at the hospital with Yu Jiu. Xu Zijiang couldn't persuade her otherwise, so he gave up. After he finished cooking and came to the hospital, Zhang Yan went home by herself.
"So how will you sleep tonight? Mommy's tummy can't be touched right now, so I can't let you sleep in the same bed as Mommy."
An'an isn't a very good sleeper; sometimes she rolls over from one end of the bed to the other, and kicks and punches. Yu Jiu's condition has finally stabilized a bit, so of course we can't take that risk.
"I can sleep sitting in a chair like Dad, or I can sleep under the bed. Mom, I just found a bag, I can put it under the bed and sleep there."
An'an said innocently, her bright eyes sparkling with naivety.
"Fool, how could I let you sleep under the bed?"
Yu Jiu smiled and shook his head.
"Don't worry, I've brought the blanket over. I'll just hold An'an while she sleeps, it'll be fine."
Xu Zijiang also spoke up to comfort Yu Jiu, as he was also reluctant to let An An suffer, so he naturally prepared everything for the night.
If it weren't for the lack of single rooms, it would have been more convenient for them to move to a single room, where they could at least have a small bed to sleep in.
Thinking of this, Yu Jiu's eyes lit up.
"Xu Zi, go ask the nurses if they still have any baby cribs. If they do, we can rent one for An'an. An'an is still quite young, and the cribs in the hospital are big enough for her."
If Xu Zijiang were to sleep with An'an in his arms all night, he would definitely be very tired, so Yu Jiu immediately brought up the idea as soon as she thought of it.
"That's true, I'll go ask."
Xu Zijiang also thought it was a good idea. With the Lunar New Year approaching, there were many other patients, but not many people were giving birth recently. So Xu Zijiang thought he should be able to rent a crib. Sure enough, he returned in just 5 minutes, pushing a crib that was 60 centimeters long and 40 centimeters wide. The crib was a wooden one with a fence-like bottom and gaps.
An'an can stick her feet out, so she doesn't have to stay curled up all the time.
"With this, An'an can sleep soundly through the night."
Yu Jiu was very happy and gestured for An An to lie down and try it out first. Xu Zijiang carried An An inside, and An An lay down in the crib. It was indeed not crowded for her and was quite suitable.
"If you can sleep, Mom, then I can stay with you at the hospital."
An'an was also very happy. If there were no bed, she knew that she could only spend one night in the hospital at most, and her father would definitely send her home the next day. Now it was different. She could stay in the hospital with her mother until she was discharged.
"Mmm, good girl~~~"
Yu Jiu gently reached out her hand, and An An immediately came over to let Yu Jiu touch her. The mother and son smiled at each other, and the scene was incredibly heartwarming. Xu Zijiang sat to the side, watching the two of them interact, and an indescribable tenderness flowed through Xu Zijiang's heart.
Not long after, the doctor came to check on Yu Jiu's condition again and changed her medication. Now, the most important thing for Yu Jiu is to rest in bed and wait until the fetus is fully recovered before being discharged from the hospital, so that it is less likely to miscarry.
Yu Jiu stayed in the hospital for a week, until her bones felt like they were going to fall apart. Finally, the doctor said she could be discharged.
"The situation is now basically stable, but it's best to avoid strenuous exercise after returning home, move around less, and stay in bed as much as possible to avoid any other accidents."
The doctor advised that Yu Jiu's current condition was not good enough to withstand further damage. If she were to accidentally bump or bruise her stomach again, the baby would be lost, and it might even endanger the mother as well.
"Then let's stay in the hospital for two more days."
Xu Zi's smile vanished, and his high brows furrowed again. The doctor had said his condition was basically stable, not completely stable, and he thought it would be safer to stay a few more days. The doctor had no objection; as long as their financial situation allowed, they could stay in the hospital for a couple more days, as there were still beds available.
Yu Jiu had no objections. For the sake of the child, they decided to stay in the hospital for two more days. After all, they would have to stay in bed at home anyway. Although they were told it would be two days, they ended up staying in the hospital for three days, for a total of ten days. After receiving confirmation from the doctor that both the fetus and the mother were healthy, Yu Jiu and Xu Zijiang were discharged from the hospital.
Yesterday, Xu Zi took An'an home and let her sleep at Gouzi and Zhang Yan's place for one night. Because he was going to take Yu Jiu home from the hospital the next day, he wouldn't be able to take her with him to get things. An'an was very sensible and stayed there for one night without crying or making a fuss.
The next morning, after having breakfast at Zhang Yan's place, she went home to wait for Yu Jiu and Xu Zijiang. Fortunately, the two of them had also been discharged from the hospital that morning. An'an didn't have to wait long before she heard the rumble of a tractor, and she happily ran out.
"Dad! Mom!"
"Hey, An'an, we're back. Did you sleep well last night?"
"some!"
"Good boy/girl! Mom will reward you with something delicious later!"
The tractor drove straight to the front door. Xu Zi parked the tractor, then went around to the back and carried the remaining wine off the tractor.
Yu Jiu also carefully protected her belly, and only felt safe after her feet touched solid ground.
"Finally I can go home. I missed my big bed at home so much."
She also missed the comfort of taking a shower at home. In the hospital, she could only wipe her body quickly, and Yu Jiu felt incredibly dirty.
"I miss my big bed at home so much."
An'an held Yu Jiu's hand, and the two carefully stepped over the threshold of their house, chattering as they entered. Hearing the noise, several neighbors poked their heads out, peeking furtively. Xu Zijiang saw them but didn't even bother to give them a glance.
Xu Zijiang originally planned to teach that brat Xiao Kang a lesson after Yu Jiu was discharged from the hospital, but he couldn't help himself. The thought of his wife lying pitifully in the hospital made him furious. When he came back to cook the next day, he saw that the little dog he raised for An'an had also had a lot of fur pulled off by that brat and was huddled pitifully by the door. He couldn't suppress his anger any longer and immediately gave Xiao Kang a good beating. He whipped his belt and beat him until his skin was torn and bleeding, and no one could stop him.
The onlookers didn't dare to stop him. Only his parents and grandparents tried to stop him, but Xu Zijiang pushed them away. His face was dark, and he exuded a murderous aura. He almost beat the brat Xiao Kang to death. Yu Jiu was discharged from the hospital today, and Xiao Kang had only just gotten out of bed today. He was in too much pain before and could only lie in bed. However, he couldn't lie in bed properly because he was covered in wounds.
If the two families had only disliked each other before, this time they were truly enemies. Even Xiaoxi and Zhuzi, the couple, felt that Xu Zijiang had gone too far. It was their son who pushed Yu Jiu, causing her to be hospitalized. It was their son's fault, but their son was still young!
