After the fourth sister had sobbed, she looked at Xiao Jiu pitifully and said, "It hurts so much, I'm never having another child."
Just thinking about those hours fighting alone makes my forehead break out in a cold sweat and my teeth chatter.
"When I was in pain, it felt like I was grinding all my teeth to powder. It hurt so much!"
Xiao Jiu knows that childbirth is painful, but she doesn't know exactly how painful it is.
Seeing Fourth Sister cursing and swearing without regard for her image, it's clear that the delivery room experience has left her with psychological trauma.
“When my brother-in-law comes back, you should tell him clearly that we won’t have any more children, we only want this one.”
Xiao Jiu and Yuan Yuan stayed at the hospital until it was almost dark before returning to school.
Since there was already a one-day holiday for May Day, the weekend will not be a rest day, but will instead be replaced with physical education classes.
Two days later, Niu Feng went to the school gate to find her in person.
"Remember to visit her at the family compound during your next holiday. I'm only staying for a week this time, and I still have to go out."
Xiao Jiu looked at Niu Feng speechlessly.
"Brother-in-law, my sister has really suffered a lot since marrying you. You weren't there when she gave birth, and now you can't even take care of her during her postpartum period."
Niu Feng looked guilty: "Your sister told me she's not having any more children, and I also think that one child is enough in this situation."
Don't worry, now that your sister is married to me, I will definitely treat her even better.
Okay, we're being discharged today. Take good care of yourself at school. This is some food and drinks your sister asked me to bring you.
Niu Feng bought her a bag of sunflower seeds, two jars of canned yellow peaches, a pound of cat ear noodles, and a pound of peach shortbread, all of which are foods that little girls love to eat.
Xiao Jiu knew they had few candy coupons and rarely ate candy, so she quickly stopped him and took some out of her schoolbag.
"Wait a minute, brother-in-law, this is what my two brothers and I bought together last time. I forgot to give it to my sister. Could you take it back for me?"
Two pounds of brown sugar, one pound of White Rabbit milk candy, and one pound of white sugar.
Upon seeing so much candy, Niu Feng was astonished: "How come there's so much? Where did you get all these candy coupons?"
"You swapped it with a classmate? Oh dear, don't worry about it, just take it back quickly."
Have a safe trip. Let my sister have a proper postpartum recovery period, maybe an extra two weeks.
Regardless, the fact that Fourth Sister did not have an episiotomy this time, recovered well, and had a healthy baby is their greatest blessing.
Xiao Jiu's days have returned to a busy routine. During the day, he studies theory, and at night he finds time to go into his spatial dimension and lol over those corpses.
Although she earned a doctorate in her previous life, she never had a cadaver to dissect like this, so she cherished this opportunity.
"In consideration of how much you've helped me, I'll find you a nice place to be buried."
She had originally planned to make good use of the corpses, just like she had framed Tang Jiabao, but looking at the knife marks on their bodies, she felt it would be very troublesome.
Let's find a place to bury it when we have the chance in the future.
As for good stuff like scalpels, she didn't spend money to buy them; there were plenty on that island occupied by the Japanese.
What she left behind were all the medical devices they had used, while what she took away were the latest medical equipment from the warehouse.
In mid-May, Xiao Jiu received news that Ye Zhen was getting married on the sixth day of the sixth lunar month.
I took advantage of my break to go out and send her three pounds of fruit candy and two cartons of local cigarettes.
The fruit candies were packed directly from the space. Local cigarettes cost 13 cents a pack, 1.3 yuan a carton, and 2.6 yuan for two cartons.
Cigarettes, candy, and alcohol are usually the most scarce items on a wedding day, so she solved her sister's immediate problem.
Unsurprisingly, Ye Zhen's other half is Cao Wenliang, the Northeasterner mentioned earlier.
Ye Zhen's two brothers asked their comrades to investigate the Cao family. Only after confirming that the family was of good character and had a decent reputation did they agree to the marriage.
To ensure everything went smoothly, Ye Zhen even accompanied Cao Wenliang on a trip to Northeast China before setting a wedding date.
“He has already written me a guarantee. I only agreed because of the guarantee and because his family is reasonable.”
The so-called guarantee was that a certain amount of money would be sent to the parents each month, which would be divided equally among the brothers. If someone contributed food, the others would contribute money.
A monthly allowance of ten yuan is quite high in rural areas, considering that their side jobs only bring in a few dozen yuan a year.
With a pension of ten yuan and the filial piety of their other children, the parents can definitely enjoy their old age in peace as long as they don't cause trouble.
Furthermore, they made it clear that they would not go to Los Angeles to bother the couple, and that if they had children in the future, they would ask their in-laws to be understanding.
Seeing how cautious Cao's parents were, Ye Zhen felt a little sorry for them, but she never thought of inviting them to live with her.
"This ten yuan is just the old couple's pension. If they need to see a doctor or buy medicine in the future, keep the receipts and we'll split the cost when Wenliang comes back for the New Year."
It is our responsibility, and we will not shirk it. Moreover, it was not easy for you to raise him, and we will send things back to you during holidays in the future.
We should give back to this family as much as possible. We are a family, and we should contribute our strength and money to make our lives better.
But I don't want any brothers or sisters who don't care about anything. If that happens, we have a reason to quit.
Parents, even though this money is given to you, it's yours, and we shouldn't interfere with who you give it to.
But the premise is to ensure your own interests are not harmed. Don't try to do everything yourself, or you'll end up creating enemies!
Ye Zhen said this last sentence in front of Cao Wenliang and his parents when no one else in the family was around.
The meaning is self-evident: to tell the elderly to prioritize their own needs and not devote all their attention to their son.
Cao Wenliang has two older brothers and two younger sisters; he is the middle one.
Although the siblings are doing well now, who knows what will happen after the family splits up?
He was the youngest brother, and his parents took the opportunity to separate the family property when he returned this time.
Because the family had separated, Ye Zhen became more cautious and instructed them to keep a close eye on the money.
After all, everyone has their own little thoughts and desires when it comes to daily life.
Wenliang then explained on Ye Zhen's behalf: "Father and Mother, I'm not being petty, and I don't want to speculate about my brothers and sisters like this."
It's because we've seen too many examples of parents who give their all to their children, only to end up not getting the good they deserve due to favoritism.
I work in social news myself, so I see a lot more, and I have to be able to distinguish right from wrong.
It's not that we don't want you to take care of your grandchildren, it's just that we need to find the right balance.
"Take care of yourself first, then help them out a little. Do you understand?"
In this way, the couple reassured their parents back home and returned to Los Angeles with the blessings of their entire family.
Before the wedding, Cao Wenliang would send money back to his hometown so that his family could come and attend their wedding.
Seeing her best friend perfectly resolve her mother-in-law/daughter-in-law relationship and live a peaceful life together in the future, Xiao Jiu is genuinely happy for her.
Unexpectedly, at the end of the letter, Ye Zhen suddenly wrote a seemingly indirect sentence.
“My brother is single now, and my niece has been taken away by my ex-sister-in-law. What kind of partner do you think my brother should look for next?
Our whole family thinks that Sister Cuiju is a perfect match for him, what do you think?
