Chapter 73 Who told you this? Your mother or your sister-in-law?
Jiang Jinzhou put down the pig's trotter and reached into the cupboard to get a small basin.
"Gout. The doctor said it was caused by eating too much fish. The wound also festered."
Liang Xiulan was just about to take a knife to chop the pig's trotter, but when she heard him say that the wound was festering, she put the knife down.
"The wound is festering, and she needs to eat a light diet. But she's still eating pig's trotters? Doesn't she want to get better?"
Jiang Jinzhou blinked and told Liang Xiulan exactly what Xue Shuzhen had said.
"It's okay. She's in the hospital. There are doctors there. The wound shouldn't fester anymore. But the baby has no milk to drink. This problem must be solved. The baby can't starve."
Liang Xiulan crossed her arms and looked at Jiang Jinzhou with her head tilted.
"Who told you this? Your mother or your sister-in-law?"
This... is exactly what I said!
Jiang Jinzhou hesitated and said, "My mom...she said eating pig's trotters can help with milk production. The doctor has already taken care of the wound, so don't worry."
Liang Xiulan cleared her throat and waved at him: "Come out for a moment, I have something to tell you."
Is there anything you can’t say to someone’s face?
Liu Guizhi and Zhou Caiju were both looking at the two of them. Under their gaze, Jiang Jinzhou walked out of the kitchen stiffly.
"What's the matter? You have to tell me."
Liang Xiulan pulled him into the bedroom, closed the door, and walked to the innermost corner before lowering her voice and saying, "Let me tell you about my experience in my previous life."
"When I gave birth to my first child in my previous life, I also ran out of milk when the baby was only half a month old."
"Your mother stewed pig's trotters and cooked chicken for me just to make me produce milk."
"But the more I ate, the less milk my baby produced. It's not that I didn't have milk, it was that I was holding it back and couldn't let it come out. In the end, I developed mastitis and had a fever several times a month."
"I asked you to buy some antipyretic medicine, but your sister-in-law said that taking medicine while breastfeeding is not good for the baby.
So, you, your mother, and your sister-in-law, you are united and won't give me medicine.
I ended up having a high fever for three days straight and was hospitalized. Do you know how much pain I was in?"
"I tell you this, you simply cannot understand, a woman, after giving birth, she is a mother, very strong, but she is also a fragile mother, she is not a milk-producing machine.
If your child has no milk, find out the root cause and don’t blindly feed her this or that.
And let me tell you, in the beginning, your eldest sister had milk, and quite a lot. As long as she drank enough water and ate on time, she wouldn't have insufficient milk."
"There must be some reason, or something she ate that caused the milk to dry up or accumulate. If the milk dried up, it's okay, but if the milk accumulated, it would be troublesome. Do you know what's going on with her?"
Jiang Jinzhou was still stuck in what Liang Xiulan had said about his past life, and when he suddenly heard this question, his brain froze.
Three seconds later, he staggered: "How should I know this?"
"I'm still a boy, not a father. Besides, even as a younger brother, I'm too embarrassed to ask such questions. Even if I asked, I wouldn't understand..."
He really didn't understand, and he would subconsciously avoid his sister when she was feeding the baby. He would also feel shy and embarrassed when her wound below was mentioned.
Not to mention the milk production problem, it's really life-threatening.
Liang Xiulan put down her hand and shrugged.
"Then let me tell you my suggestion."
"It's best not to let her eat pig's trotters until she finds out why she has no milk."
"When the child has no milk, he eats milk powder or millet porridge."
"If you insist on giving me pig's trotters, I won't stop you. She's not my sister anyway. That's all I have to say. Think about it carefully."
"I'm going to stew the pig's trotters first!"
Since he had bought the pig's trotters, he couldn't waste them. If he wanted to give them to his sister, he could give them to her. If he didn't want to give them to her, he could keep them. It just so happened that she was also craving for pig's trotters.
However, she really meant well and didn't want to steal his pig's trotters.
Liang Xiulan had already left the room, and Jiang Jinzhou sat alone in the corner thinking for a long time.
They were all the tragic experiences Liang Xiulan had just mentioned in her previous life.
Was their family really that bad in their previous life? And Zhou Yun, even when she had a fever, she wasn't allowed to take fever-reducing medicine. How could she be so cultured?
Isn't she afraid that Xiulan will get sick from the fever? Can she bear this responsibility?
Thinking back to what had just happened in the hospital, Jiang Jinzhou felt that if something really went wrong, the responsibility would probably not fall on her.
His mother would definitely protect Zhou Yun, and Zhou Yun was smart enough to just fool around a few times and it would be over.
If it were in the past, when he didn't know Zhou Yun's true identity, he might have sided with his sister-in-law.
Because he had previously thought that his sister-in-law was gentle, considerate, cultured, smart, kind and homely.
Thinking of this, Jiang Jinzhou couldn't help but shrink his neck. He felt like a lamb to be slaughtered in front of Zhou Yun.
Pulling my thoughts back, a question suddenly flashed through my mind.
"If you're not sending them as gifts, why are you stewing pig's trotters?"
"Tsk! Since we've brought it back, we might as well stew it. What if it goes bad if we don't stew it? And I haven't eaten pig's trotters for several days."
As soon as Liang Xiulan returned to the kitchen, Liu Guizhi and Zhou Caiju, who were whispering to each other, stopped immediately.
Liu Guizhi came over and asked, "What's going on? What did you say?"
"By the way, why did Jiang Danyue suddenly run out of milk?"
Liang Xiulan chuckled and asked, "Mom... do you think Jiang Jinzhou can understand this kind of question?"
Liu Guizhi was speechless. She turned around and looked at Zhou Caiju, and both of them laughed.
He is a man, how could he know anything about milk production?
He returned to the panel and continued rolling the noodles, chatting with Zhou Caiju about their previous experiences raising children.
"Back then, our lives were so hard. We had to go to bed before the confinement period was over. Caiju, you were smart. If you didn't come back during the confinement period, Jianye would take care of you whenever he could."
Zhou Caiju: "He's a grown man, and the most he can do is wash diapers and cook. What else can he do?"
"The child cries all day and all night, and his snoring is so loud that you can't hear anything. But your eldest brother is very considerate to you and even changes the child's diapers and so on."
Liu Guizhi: "How many times can he say this? He almost had to live in the fields while I was in confinement. If you don't know, you would think he wanted to take over his grandfather's coffin!"
Zhou Caiju couldn't stop laughing after hearing this: "Hey, sister-in-law, what you said is very insightful. These two brothers are very close to their grandfather. Every time Jianye goes to the fields, he has to kowtow to his grandfather first. They are even more filial than our father was..."
The two sisters-in-law chatted while working, and their laughter continued.
Jiang Jinzhou, however, understood the key point.
It seems that both of them were taken care of by their men during the confinement period, so what about Shen Jun? Why didn't he come to take care of them?
Others can work and take care of their wives during their confinement at the same time. He runs a hardware store and it's not a big business that requires his time. How could he be so busy that he wouldn't be seen for a month?
Damn, my back, legs, and head hurt, and it's been hurting for more than half a month and it's still not healed? Isn't this too neglectful?
Do you think your elder sister is easy to fool, or is it that you really can't get away?
