Aunt Zhao really wanted to scold Cao Zhaodi, but in order not to affect the relationship between her daughter and son-in-law, she held back.
Cao Zhaodi is the biological mother of her son-in-law. If she were to confront her and fall out with her, it would inevitably affect the relationship between Dayan and Wenguang.
Aunt Zhao walked into the house with her granddaughter, Xiao, and a drooping mouth. "I think Xiao is still worried about Dayan. I will come back to watch my Dayan give birth first."
Cao Zhaodi felt relieved to see that Aunt Zhao didn't make a fuss with her, and at the same time she felt a little proud.
Wen Guang had done his best, so even if he saw her treating Dayan badly, Zhao would not dare to make trouble with her.
"I've always said that you can rest assured that I'm here. I'll take good care of Dayan. You've been running around here and there for a long time, which is really troublesome."
Aunt Zhao walked into the bedroom. Dayan saw her looking back at her again and called out to her with a pursed mouth, "Mom."
Seeing her daughter's aggrieved look, Aunt Zhao felt distressed.
She reached out and brushed the hair off her daughter's face and said, "Don't be afraid. Mom is back. Mom won't leave. Mom will be with you until you give birth. During your confinement, Mom will come and take care of you."
When Cao Zhaodi heard that Aunt Zhao was still coming to take care of Dayan during her confinement, she immediately frowned.
"My dear in-laws, I am already a mother-in-law, so why do I need you to take care of Dayan during her confinement? You don't need to worry about Dayan's confinement. I will make sure she takes good care of her."
When Dayan gave birth to her first child, this Zhao came to take care of Dayan during her confinement. She spent almost as much as Wenguang's two months' salary. In the name of taking care of her daughter during her confinement, she often ate and drank well.
The dishes she cooked were all what she and her daughter liked, which were not to Wenguang's taste at all, and he even lost a lot of weight.
This time when Dayan gave birth, Wenguang called himself over because he didn't want his mother-in-law to take care of her during the birthing and confinement period.
Aunt Zhao: "As my daughter's mother, I am of course worried about her confinement after giving birth. But you, Dayan is not your biological daughter, and it is really too much trouble for you to take care of her confinement."
"As for Dayan's confinement, don't bother you, mother-in-law. I'll do it." Aunt Zhao pulled the quilt to cover her daughter.
The corners of Cao Zhaodi's eyes twitched. This Zhao guy really wanted to spend Wen Guang's money by taking care of her daughter during her confinement, and eat and drink lavishly in this house.
"I have asked for more than a month's leave from the brigade. When I came here, I agreed with everyone in the team that I would come to the city to take care of my daughter-in-law during her confinement. Now you don't let me take care of Dayan during her confinement. When I go back, people in the village will laugh at me."
Cao Zhaodi said while spreading her hands.
Aunt Zhao rolled her eyes and said, "You don't have to go back. Just stay in the city for a month."
Cao Zhaodi: "Wenguang's house is so big, there won't be enough space for me and you."
She arrived yesterday afternoon, and last night she slept on a single bed with Aunt Zhao in the living room all night, nearly breaking her bones.
"If there's no room for me, I can sleep on the floor in the bedroom. If that doesn't work, I can take Dayan back to her parents' home to recuperate."
Even if her daughter-in-law was unhappy and made trouble with her, she would take Dayan back to her parents' home. Anyway, she would never let Cao Zhaodi, an old hag, take care of Dayan during her confinement!
If she really let this old hag take care of Dayan during her confinement, it's unclear who will take care of whom.
Dayan had just given birth to a child, and she was asked to cook for them with her big belly about to give birth. She might even be asked to cook and wash clothes for the rest of the month.
Cao Zhaodi: “…”
When she heard Aunt Zhao say that she would take Dayan back to her parents' home to recuperate after the confinement, she remained silent.
Aunt Zhao put the bundle on her daughter's bed and rolled up her sleeves while saying, "I just heard you calling Dayan to cook dinner. She doesn't know if she can make it. I'll do it."
Cao Zhaodi smiled awkwardly, "Oh, how can I let you, my mother-in-law, cook? You just sit and chat with Dayan, I'll do it."
"Don't get me wrong, mother-in-law. I asked Dayan to cook for her own good. I wanted her to move around more so that she can have an easier time giving birth to a child."
"When I gave birth to Wenguang and his brothers, I was still working when my water broke. I gave birth to the children after I finished all the work, so they were born faster."
Aunt Zhao smiled with a fake smile, "Don't worry, I didn't misunderstand. But you are still capable, you were still working before the birth of the baby."
"Unlike me, when I was 18 months old, my mother-in-law wouldn't even let me enter the kitchen, and my father-in-law wouldn't even let me touch the broom. Dayan's father even brought the foot washing water to the bedside and squatted on the floor to wash my feet, not even letting me bend my waist."
"I have never touched cold water in my life. I have been sitting in the moon for forty days. I almost forgot what cold water feels like."
"Hey, I'm still not as capable as you, mother-in-law."
Aunt Zhao's words seemed to be saying that she was not as good as Cao Zhaodi and not as capable as her, but she was actually mocking her. She was still working when she gave birth to a child, because no one loved her. Her parents-in-law and her husband didn't care about her, and no one was willing to take care of her.
She even boasts about this kind of thing.
Working before having a baby is never something to brag about.
If there was anyone in that family who cared about her, they would not let a woman who was about to give birth to a child work.
Cao Zhaodi is not stupid, how could she not understand the meaning of her words!
No one openly mocked her for not being loved by her parents-in-law and husband even though she was pregnant. She couldn't get angry, so she gritted her teeth and endured it, her old face turning blue and red with anger.
"I, I'll go cook." Cao Zhaodi left with a lot of anger.
After seeing her mother-in-law leave, Dayan pulled her mother aside and asked, "Mom, didn't you leave? Why are you back?"
Aunt Zhao sat on the edge of the bed, looked at her daughter and said, "It was your Aunt Li who persuaded me to come back and watch you give birth."
"Aunt Li?"
Aunt Zhao nodded and frowned, "She was acting strange today. When she saw me going back, she said I couldn't go back and insisted that I stay with you. She said you had a difficult birth, and Wenguang and his mother only cared about the child and not the adults. What should we do? You need someone from your family to be there for you to give birth."
"I told Wen Guang that he is not that kind of person, but she said that you can only know a person's face but not his heart. But she is really right. Your mother-in-law is a smiling tiger. When I was away, she promised to take good care of you. As soon as I left, she changed and made you uncomfortable. You cooked with a big belly, and she did it."
Dayan said: "Wen Guang is definitely not that kind of person. He still sides with me. It's my mother-in-law..."
Anyway, it’s hard to describe.
Having been a wife to He Wenguang for so many times, Dayan completely trusts this husband.
Aunt Zhao said: "I trust Wenguang's character, but fortunately I listened to your Aunt Li and came back, otherwise my Dayan would have been wronged."
"Mom..." Dayan's eyes were red, and she leaned on her mother's shoulder.
Aunt Zhao patted her daughter on the back and said, "Your Aunt Li said that you will feel more at ease when you give birth with me as your mother. It reminds me of when you gave birth to Yingying. You were so scared that you were shaking all over, but you still held on to me tightly and said, 'I'm not afraid with you around.'"
"I think I have to come and protect my Dayan, because with me here, my Dayan is not afraid."
Dayan's voice choked with sobs, "Mom..."
