Everyone turned to look at Ye Qingqing, their hopeful eyes making it impossible for her to refuse. In truth, she really didn't want to accept any more new patients. All she wanted now was to raise her child properly and enjoy life. Why make herself so tired?
However, this old lady's daughter is indeed quite pitiful; capable children always suffer injustice!
"Then come on over, but don't introduce any relatives later, I still have to raise my child!" Ye Qingqing reminded her half-jokingly.
If this becomes a habit, every family has a bunch of aunts and uncles, plus other relatives and friends, she wouldn't have enough hands to handle them all.
The others chuckled awkwardly, suppressing their budding thoughts for the time being. However, they wouldn't give up easily. Lin Shufang seemed easy to talk to; they could talk to her and then have her tell her daughter-in-law!
Upon receiving a positive reply, the gaunt old lady was very grateful and expressed her thanks at length. Then she started talking about her daughter-in-law. The old lady's son was also the CEO of a company, apparently a tourism company, which was quite large in Pingjiang.
“My daughter is capable but not blessed, but my daughter-in-law is a simpleton with a simple fortune. She is beautiful and knows how to be charming. When I was a child, my husband and I would get goosebumps.”
The gaunt old woman imitated her daughter-in-law's call, which was quite exaggerated, and everyone burst into laughter, listening with great interest.
“My daughter-in-law can’t do anything. She can’t even make the simplest fried rice. After marrying my son, she has never cooked a single meal or washed a single piece of clothing. She doesn’t even wash her underwear. Oh dear… But she still married my son, and he spoils her rotten!”
The thin old woman pursed her lips, her tone a mix of sourness, anger, and envy.
She gave birth to such a good man, yet he dotes on another woman. She, as his mother, doesn't even receive such treatment!
"Haha, your son is really good to his wife. Your daughter-in-law is already quite old, but she's still like a young girl, speaking in such a sweet and coquettish way. But men like women like that. There's a saying that goes, 'A woman who knows how to be charming has the best life!'"
"That depends on having a good mother-in-law. If you have a wicked mother-in-law like your daughter, no amount of sweet talk will help. In the end, it's because you adults are open-minded and don't interfere in the young couple's affairs that the family can live in harmony."
Everyone praised the thin old lady for being a good person, and they weren't wrong. Although the old lady complained about her daughter-in-law, she took care of all the housework and never insisted that her daughter-in-law do any work. She just grumbled occasionally.
The thin old lady was very pleased with everyone's praise, and looked proud. "That's true. I'm not just bragging, but when my daughter-in-law was in confinement after giving birth to my eldest granddaughter, I took care of her like I would my own daughter. My daughter-in-law had injured her back before, but it was completely healed after that confinement. It was the same when she gave birth to my youngest grandson. I even helped her correct her nearsightedness."
"Postpartum care is a woman's second life. If you do it well, you'll enjoy happiness for a lifetime; if you don't, you'll suffer for a lifetime. That's why people say that the grudges during postpartum care are life-or-death. If the mother-in-law is reasonable, she should take good care of her daughter-in-law during postpartum care. She gave birth to your child, so it's only right and proper that she be taken care of." The well-off old lady sighed.
The other elderly women nodded in agreement. They were all open-minded people. They wouldn't treat their daughters-in-law with the same utmost sincerity as Grandma Xiao Jie.
Ye Qingqing listened from the side, but felt a little guilty. No matter how she listened, she felt that the old lady was talking about her daughter-in-law. Wasn't she just a simple-minded woman who couldn't do anything and only knew how to act cute?
