After completing the hospital admission procedures for his wife, she was admitted to the hospital.
When Feng Haidong saw his wife again, her first question was still, "How's your recruitment going? Did you keep your older sister's child?"
Before her husband could answer, Lu Wanling continued, "No matter what, they are your eldest sister's children. If you can take care of them, you should. Don't stick to your old rules."
After listening to his wife's words, Feng Haidong looked at her with tender eyes and said, "Don't worry, I've already kept Ma Ling and Ma Ming. I'll give them 700 yuan a month for now. If they do well, I'll give them bonuses as subsidies later."
Lu Wanling said, "When you're at home, you give 1000 to Xiao Yang, Xiao Dong, and Dayong."
Feng Haidong said, "It's different. If I pay them too high a salary now, they might feel superior. If they don't work hard, can I really fire them? I have to save face for my sister and brother-in-law."
Lu Wanling said, "Yes, it really is a bit difficult for you."
Feng Haidong reassured his wife, "Don't worry, I'll take care of it."
Then, Feng Haidong looked at his wife and asked, "Should I bring Mom here? Let the other mothers come and take care of you? I'll rent a place nearby?"
Lu Wanling said, "No need. Why make Mom and the others go through all that trouble? I'm staying in the hospital with doctors and nurses. Besides, my third sister is also in the hospital. She'll definitely tell them to take good care of me if anything happens."
Then Lu Wanling said, "Take good care of Yueyue, and don't let her cause trouble for your third sister and brother-in-law."
Feng Haidong said, "Don't worry, when our new store opens, I can take Yueyue to the store during the day. Anyway, my older sister and brother-in-law cook in the kitchen at noon, so I don't have much to do. Yueyue will have a good lunch there."
Lu Wanling nodded and said, "That works too. You can bring Yueyue to the hospital tonight and let her stay with me there."
Feng Haidong said, "It's better not to let her come to the hospital. With you in this state, how can you take care of her? I'll talk to Rujuan later and ask her to help look after Yueyue after she finishes her studies."
Lu Wanling said, "Rujuan is already in high school and has a lot of academic pressure. It's not good for you to let her take care of Yueyue."
Feng Haidong said, "It's okay. I'll leave Yueyue at the shop. When Rujuan from my third sister's house is about to go to sleep, I'll pick Yueyue up and take her to bed."
Lu Wanling thought about it and felt that this was indeed a viable option.
As the couple were chatting, Yue Kang, the third cousin's husband, brought Lu Yue to the ward.
Lu Yue entered the ward, ran to her aunt's bedside, and asked with concern, "Auntie, are you alright? My third uncle told me you were hospitalized, and Yueyue was so worried about you."
Lu Wanling stroked her little niece's hair and said, "It's okay, Auntie is fine."
Lu Yue breathed a sigh of relief like a little adult and said, "Auntie, I'm so glad you're alright."
Then Lu Yue suddenly said, "Auntie, Uncle, please take me back to my grandparents' house."
Hearing their niece say this, both Feng Haidong and Lu Wanling were taken aback.
Lu Wanling asked curiously, "Why do you want to go back?"
Lu Yue said, "Auntie, you're in the hospital and need someone to take care of you. Uncle is also very busy. Yueyue doesn't want you to have to take care of Yueyue, so Yueyue can go back and stay at Grandpa and Grandma's house, just like Brother Fanfan."
Hearing her niece's sensible words deeply moved Lu Wanling.
Feng Haidong was also somewhat moved.
Lu Wanling thought for a moment and said, "It's okay. If you don't want to go back, your uncle said that after the store opens, he will take you to the store to play every day."
Lu Yue was quite determined: "Auntie, Uncle, I want to go back. When I go back, there are my grandparents, my aunt, and my brother Fanfan. There are many people to take care of Yueyue."
Lu Wanling asked, "Yueyue, are you worried that after your aunt's baby is born, your aunt won't like you anymore? Don't worry, your aunt will always like you."
Lu Yue shook her head and said, "No, Auntie. I want to go back first. After you recover and come home from the hospital, I can come back and live with you."
Upon hearing this, Yue Kang couldn't help but say, "Hai Dong, Wan Ling, if Yue Yue is willing to go back, I think it would be good to send her back. Her grandparents will definitely love their granddaughter, and that would put your minds at ease, allowing you to take care of your business in the provincial capital."
Feng Haidong and his wife looked at each other for a long time before Feng Haidong said, "How about I take Yueyue home first? Her parents and younger sister will take care of her at home, so there shouldn't be any problems."
Lu Yue chimed in, "Yes, yes, Grandpa and Grandma miss Yueyue too."
Lu Wanling looked at her little niece, then at her husband, and nodded in agreement.
"Okay, then let your uncle take you back to your grandparents' house. If you miss your aunt, you can call me and my uncle will come and pick you up."
Lu Yue smiled and nodded in agreement: "Okay, okay."
Lu Wanling was very reluctant to see her little niece go back.
It wasn't that Lu Wanling was worried about sending her niece back home; it was just that she always wanted to give her niece more love to make up for the emotional damage caused by her niece's parents' divorce.
However, Lu Wanling's due date is very close, so she has to be admitted to the hospital.
She really couldn't continue to take better care of her niece.
So she had no choice but to have her husband send the child back.
Feng Haidong let his niece and wife spend another day together. The next day, he took his niece to the train station, bought her a train ticket, and sent her back home.
Back at his parents-in-law's house, Feng Haidong briefly explained the situation to them.
Lin Guojin, the mother-in-law, was very worried about her eldest daughter's health.
Feng Haidong repeatedly assured her, "Mom, don't worry, my third cousin has helped me find a very famous obstetrician and gynecologist in the provincial capital. She definitely won't let Wanling suffer."
Lin Guojin looked at her son-in-law and noticed how thin he had become. She knew that her eldest son-in-law had also been working very hard lately.
Without asking about her eldest daughter's condition, Lin Guojin embraced her granddaughter Lu Yue and said, "Haidong, don't worry, we will definitely take good care of Yueyue, and we will also take good care of Fanfan."
Feng Haidong said, "Mom, Wanling and I are relieved. Thank you for your hard work, Mom and Dad."
Father-in-law Lu Chengzong said, "What's this talk about hardship? They're all our own children. If anyone's been working hard, it's you. You've been taking care of Yueyue all this time."
The mother-in-law chimed in, "Yes, you two work even harder. Haidong, you should take care of yourself too."
Feng Haidong nodded and said, "Don't worry, Mom and Dad, I will take care of myself."
After settling his niece Lu Yue in, Feng Haidong didn't linger at home. He had lunch with his son at his parents-in-law's house, then took his son to school in the afternoon and chatted with him about preparations for the New Year's Day performance.
After sending his son to school, Feng Haidong bought a train ticket back to the provincial capital himself.
That afternoon, Feng Haidong returned to the provincial capital from his hometown.
