Chapter 7: Urging for a Second Child
She was worried that after she told him, Yue Mingyuan would think she had mental problems.
"Don't be afraid, no one dares to hurt Yaya."
Yue Mingyuan handed Shen Zhiqiu a cup of brown sugar water at just the right temperature and pointed to the door: "Dad left two guards behind."
"I've asked for a month's leave. I'll be with you and Yaya during this month."
"Yeah." Shen Zhiqiu hugged Yaya tightly and secretly vowed that she would become stronger from now on.
For myself, and even more for Yaya.
If Wang Fengqin really wants to harm Yaya, she will definitely retaliate double!
"Zhiqiu, are you hungry? Here is millet porridge, cooked by Aunt Zhao."
Yue Mingyuan picked up a thermos bucket from the bedside cabinet next to him, and Shen Zhiqiu noticed that it was different from the one Wang Fengqin had brought before.
She asked: "Please open it for me so I can see what it looks like."
Now she can't trust anyone.
Yue Mingyuan unscrewed it, and Shen Zhiqiu saw that it was just millet porridge. She asked to smell it again, and there was no smell of Chinese medicine, so she was relieved: "Please give me more, thank you."
In fact, she didn't have much appetite, but eating was the only way to recover faster.
"No trouble." Yue Mingyuan replied in a deep voice.
He really wanted to tell Shen Zhiqiu not to be so polite to him, they were husband and wife, and now they had Yaya, they would be fine in the future.
But he was afraid that saying it would make her angry. The person she loved was Chen Can, and if it weren't for that incident, she would not marry him.
"I'll put Yaya back first. Mom and my sister-in-law told me that you can't hold Yaya for too long during the confinement period, or she will get sick."
Yue Mingyuan said as he took Yaya away from Shen Zhiqiu's arms. Shen Zhiqiu stopped him from putting Yaya back on the crib and patted the side of her bed: "I won't hold her. You put Yaya here. I see Anxin."
"good."
After putting Yaya away, Yue Mingyuan pulled up the guardrail next to him, then came back and handed the porridge to Shen Zhiqiu.
When Shen Zhiqiu saw that brown sugar was put in it, she subconsciously frowned, but after taking a bite, her brows gradually relaxed.
It's not very sweet, just the level she can accept. She doesn't like things that are too sweet.
It seemed that the brown sugar water that Yue Mingyuan handed her before was not very sweet.
He actually knew her taste?
Seeing Shen Zhiqiu put down the spoon after taking a sip and looking up at him, Yue Mingyuan couldn't help but get nervous: "Is it too sweet?"
"No." Shen Zhiqiu shook his head gently: "That's right, I just want to say thank you to you."
"Zhi Qiu, you don't have to say thank you to me all the time." Bitterness spread in Yue Mingyuan's throat.
"You didn't eat either?" Shen Zhiqiu cleverly changed the subject and raised his chin towards another thermos bucket: "What did Aunt Zhao make for you?"
"Saucy rice."
Yue Mingyuan brought it closer, and Shen Zhiqiu sniffed: "It smells good."
Without waiting for Yue Mingyuan to speak, she waved her hands: "I know, I can't eat."
Yue Mingyuan carefully probed: "Then when you are out of confinement, I will ask Aunt Zhao to cook for you? Aunt Zhao's cooking is especially delicious."
Shen Zhiqiu could tell that Yue Mingyuan had something else to say. She stopped and looked at him seriously: "Mingyuan, if you have anything to say, just say it directly."
Yue Mingyuan paused and asked cautiously, "Zhiqiu, how about we go back to the compound after we are discharged from the hospital?"
"I know you want to go back to your parents' home and let your mother take care of you during the confinement period. You are not comfortable in the compound."
“But she has to cook for your father and Chen Xiang, and Shen Liya has to go back occasionally. I’m worried that she won’t be able to take care of you and Yaya too carefully.”
"We have Aunt Zhao at home, and my mom is retired. Besides, my second brother and his wife are here too, so we have more manpower. If Yaya is feeling unwell, my second sister-in-law will know the severity of the situation."
"We have a car at home, which makes it more convenient."
After Yue Mingyuan finished speaking, Shen Zhiqiu nodded slightly: "Okay."
"Zhiqiu, do you agree?" Yue Mingyuan was very surprised. He didn't expect Shen Zhiqiu to agree so readily.
She used to dislike going to the compound and always looked unhappy every time she went there.
His parents and other family members didn't say it, but he knew they didn't like Zhiqiu because of this. He was overwhelmed by a deep sense of powerlessness, and felt very uncomfortable being caught in the middle.
"What you said makes sense, why shouldn't I agree?"
Shen Zhiqiu smiled and said, “Besides, I see that my parents like Yaya very much. If Yaya returns to the compound, my parents will definitely be very happy.”
The main reason is that the compound is relatively safer. She doesn't ask others to like her child too much, but they can't think of harming her.
In fact, she didn't trust the Yue family either, but if Yaya were given a choice, she would probably want to go back to the compound.
The next morning, Wang Fengqin came over again carrying a lot of bags.
As soon as he entered the ward, he asked Yue Mingyuan about his health: "Xiaoyuan, you must be exhausted last night, right? You look pale and thinner."
"I'm telling you, it's not easy to take care of someone during the confinement period. My Zhiqiu is so hypocritical, she must have made things difficult for you."
"You have to take care of both the older and younger ones by yourself. This little girl cries a lot and is really annoying."
"Zhiqiu and Yaya are both easy to take care of. They are not pretentious or noisy." Yue Mingyuan replied to Wang Fengqin coldly.
Wang Fengqin pretended not to hear anything. She sat down next to Shen Zhiqiu's legs, taking out things and teaching Shen Zhiqiu: "Zhiqiu, you are so lucky to marry Xiaoyuan. You must cherish your blessings, don't you know?"
"I made fish soup for you. I made it early in the morning. It smells so good. Xiaoxiang kept clamoring for some, but I didn't let him. You should drink more later."
"Take good care of yourself and hurry up to have another son with Xiaoyuan."
Wang Fengqin glanced at Yue Mingyuan, and seeing that he didn't pay attention to them, she approached Shen Zhiqiu and whispered to her, "When you have a son, your position in the Yue family will be more stable, do you understand?"
"Nowadays, family planning allows only one child, whether it's a boy or a girl." Shen Zhiqiu couldn't help but retort to Wang Fengqin as she kept talking nonsense.
"All policies are for the common people to follow, but Xiaoyuan's family is different." Wang Fengqin wanted to stick her eyes on Yue Mingyuan.
She is old. Even if she were ten years younger, she would still throw herself at Yue Mingyuan.
It's really hard to find a man with such good conditions, but how come Shen Zhiqiu, this little bitch, ran into him? It's really a waste of good things.
Shen Zhiqiu warned Wang Fengqin: "Don't say such things. The Mingyuan family doesn't do such messy things."
This is the truth, the Yue family has always had a good reputation.
Wang Fengqin was talking nonsense without restraint, but if someone with ulterior motives heard it and made a fuss about it, it would cause big trouble.
"As expected, a married girl is like spilled water, she is outgoing!"
"Listen to what you said. Do you know the difference between boys and girls?"
Wang Fengqin glared at Shen Zhiqiu: "I'm doing this for your own good. If you don't appreciate it, that's fine. I'm a stepmother after all! If you're not liked by others, then whatever you say is wrong."
"You're wronging me. I'm not outgoing at all. I'm just oriented towards our family, okay?"
