Surprisingly, no one objected to Bling's request to return to work.
Grandpa Sang said, "Granddaughter-in-law, just discuss it with Xiaoqi."
Fang's wife said, "I wish I could stay home and look at the little stars every day."
And so, on the third day after her postpartum confinement, Bu Ling embarked on her journey as a working woman again.
This time, when she went back to work, she refused Aunt Fang's offer to pick her up and rode her long-unused bicycle.
Along the way, with the warm breeze blowing and passing through familiar streets, Buling's mood brightened and became cheerful.
Although everyone took good care of her during her postpartum period, staying at home all day inevitably made her feel gloomy. Now, she's finally free.
I'm a little reluctant to part with my child, but it's okay. She's a mature mother now, and she should be brave enough to be herself.
The first thing I did upon arriving at the restaurant, unsurprisingly, was to receive a warm welcome from everyone:
"Xiao Bu, you're back! That's wonderful!" Sister Ma exclaimed.
"Bling, my little sister."
"Ling, you're finally back! I've missed you so much!" Wu Yuanyuan's reaction was the most exaggerated.
Master Lü joined in the fun, asking, "Little sister, how are you feeling?"
"Everything's fine, everything's fine!" Buling smiled and answered everyone's questions one by one.
When Manager Zhu arrived at the restaurant, he saw Bu Ling and even gave her a rare smile: "Little Bu, welcome back."
"Thank you, Manager Zhu!"
After the laughter and joking around subsided, everyone sat down to chat.
"Xiao Bu, what will happen to the children if you come to work?" Sister Ma was the first to ask.
Bu Lingzi drooled: "Just like Sister Yuanyuan, I'll go back to feed her every two hours. Anyway, our restaurant isn't busy."
"That's true," Sister Ma agreed. She had thought Xiao Bu would give up the job, since her in-laws seemed to be quite well-off.
“Ling, I have so much gossip to share with you,” Wu Yuanyuan said.
Bling got excited, his eyes lighting up: "Tell me, tell me!"
Wu Yuanyuan smiled, and began to speak:
What?! Grandma Shi was sent back to her hometown?!
What?! Grandpa Wang harassed the new Aunt Xu and almost got slashed!
What? Aunt Shen isn't feeding Widow Liu's two sons properly?!
What? Han Weiguo and Ling Wei had a fight?!
What?! Sister Mo is obsessed with having a child!
Wu Yuanyuan knew all the gossip inside and out, and she could talk about it endlessly.
Not only Bu Ling, but even Sister Ma and Zhu Zhizhi were engrossed in listening. After a while, Bu Ling was the first to react: "Han Weiguo and Ling Wei had a fight?"
"That's right, if you ask me, it's all Han Minghui's fault. He stole his dad's money and treated his classmates to a big meal. Then that idiot Han Weiguo thought Ling Wei took it, and that's how the argument started!" Wu Yuanyuan said dismissively.
After listening, Bling smacked twice, "Dogs fighting, serves them right!"
“That’s right!” Wu Yuanyuan gave a thumbs up: “This couple, including the two kids, are no good people.”
She still remembers how those two angered her friend to the point of being critically ill!
After talking about Han Weiguo, Bu Ling asked again, "Did Grandpa Wang harass Sister-in-law Xu?"
Wu Yuanyuan glanced around furtively, then lowered her voice and said, "No one else knows about this. I heard it from my mother-in-law. Please don't spread it around!"
“You say it,” Bling said.
"It's just that Grandpa Wang saw that Sister Xu was a widow with three daughters, so he got the idea to steal from her. One night, he pried open Sister Xu's door. If Sister Xu hadn't used a kitchen knife, who knows what might have happened." Wu Yuanyuan looked down on Grandpa Wang.
"Even so, Grandpa Wang shamelessly told Aunt Lan that it was Sister Xu who seduced her, which has made Aunt Lan target Sister Xu recently."
"What about Sister-in-law Xu?" Bu Ling pressed. After all, she was the widow of Brother Sang's comrade-in-arms, and she couldn't just ignore the matter once she knew about it.
"Sister Xu is fine, just like before, except they've installed a safety bolt like yours on the door," Wu Yuanyuan replied.
Buling stroked his chin: "Looks like I'll have to stay in the compound for a few days~" Otherwise, Aunt Lan might get too cocky!
"Great, great!" Wu Yuanyuan welcomed it with both hands raised.
Gossipy time always flies by. Over there, Chef Lü called for the food to be prepared, and Wu Yuanyuan and Zhu Zhizhi left the group chat.
Buling also went home around 11 o'clock, fed Xiaoxing milk first, and then rode her bicycle back to the hotel.
In the afternoon, after the restaurant sold out of food, she ate her own staff meal and then rode her bike home to feed her beloved daughter.
Finally, go back one last time before dinner time, and the day is over.
Although it was a bit of a hassle, Bling accepted it well.
After all, this is already quite humane. As far as she knows, in later generations, married and mothered women did not receive so many preferential treatments; on the contrary, they were often discriminated against. This is already very good; what more could she ask for?
That's right. After giving birth, there are more troubles than just breastfeeding. There are also countless other minor problems such as urinary incontinence and engorgement.
Fortunately, Sangshen felt sorry for Buling. After noticing her minor ailments, she made a special trip to Nanshan Village to bring Old Man Yu back and prescribe some medicine for Buling.
In this way, Bling's little trouble was also resolved.
Moreover, after having a child, she found that her life hadn't changed much; she just had one more thing to worry about.
After all, Grandpa Sang, Aunt Fang, and Uncle Lin usually take care of the child, and Sangshen takes care of things like washing diapers. She only needs to breastfeed, which is already quite easy for her.
