She wandered around the corridor for a few laps, her heart filled with panic. She was unhappy because she had a girl, and she was also unhappy because she had to give birth to two children. She muttered to herself, why is she so disappointing that she gave birth to two children and neither of them was a boy? She was so angry that she dragged Zhang Binglin home.
"Where are you going? Your granddaughters will be out soon." Zhang Binglin was a little reluctant. Although he guessed what Wu Ju was going to do, he still wanted to see his own granddaughter.
"What are you looking at? What's so good about it? It's already annoying enough for other people to have one money-losing daughter. We only have two children in our lifetime. How can we afford to help others find wives? Come on, come back with me. Out of sight, out of mind."
Zhang Binglin was a real man this time, refusing to budge. Wu Ju was furious, pointing at Zhang Binglin's nose and cursing, "You've got guts, all right! You heartless bastard, your son got married and forgot his mother, and you're the one who treats me like this. Okay, you're not leaving, are you? I'm leaving." But because the hospital was overcrowded, she couldn't make a scene, so she complained a few words and stormed out alone.
Tang Boyi saw Wu Ju rush out, thinking Shumei might have given birth. He threw his half-smoked cigarette butt to the ground, stomped on it, and headed straight for the delivery room. His small space was already littered with cigarette butts, and it looked like he was really annoyed.
"Ji Zong, has Shu Mei given birth?" Seeing Ji Zong sitting on the chair with a smile on his face, Tang Boyi asked tentatively.
"It's born, mother and daughter are safe!"
"Great! Thank goodness, Shumei's okay!" Tang Boyi folded his arms over his chest, his frown instantly softening as he lingered at the door of the delivery room. He was desperate to see the child and Shumei, as excited as if he were a father. As the excitement faded and he regained his composure, he realized he was superfluous, and a sense of emptiness welled up inside him.
"Ji Zong, congratulations. Xiao Youchen is still at home, so I'll go back first and ask the foreman for leave for you."
"Okay, go slower on your way!"
Tang Boyi finished speaking, walked out of the hospital gate, and looked up at the rising sun. He subconsciously shielded his eyes with his hands, but even so, his vision was still a little blurry. Perhaps it was the tears of worry and excitement that blurred his eyes, or perhaps it was the glare of the rising sun, but at this moment, his heart was as clear as a mirror. There is a kind of love that calls for letting go. As long as she is happy, that's enough. Only then, the life that awaits him is his own.
He finally decided to let go of his obsession and stop living everything for Shumei. His only wish in this life was for her to be happy, and for him to raise Youchen well. Although he felt a strong sense of loss at this moment, he also felt a sense of relief that he had never felt before.
Happiness was so short-lived. Before Ji Zong had the time to savor this hard-earned good news, a bolt from the blue struck him.
Before Shumei and her daughter could emerge from the delivery room, the doctor rushed to announce that their eldest daughter was in respiratory distress. After a series of examinations, it was determined that her heart was underdeveloped. She faced either premature death or repeated surgeries.
For the impoverished Zhang family, the money for the surgery was an astronomical figure. God had played a huge joke on them again, taking the happiness of having twin daughters away from them.
When Shumei heard the news, she cried bitterly. In order to save as much money as possible, she immediately completed the discharge procedures and returned home on the same day.
When they returned home, the whole family was filled with sorrow. Wu Ju, who was unaware of the true situation, kept chattering away, and Ji Zong was furious.
"Have you had enough of the quarrel?" Ji Zong was sitting on a chair in the main room, deep in thought. He couldn't stand Wu Ju complaining about having two daughters and about ruining her luck in having grandchildren, so he stood up from the chair and roared loudly.
"You...you...you, you disobedient and unfilial boy, how dare you be so mean to me? I've worried myself to death, and who am I doing this for? It's all for the successors of your Zhang family. Raising these two girls is already troublesome enough. Do you have the ability to guarantee that you can raise another one? Even if you can, what if the next baby is another girl? How can we live? Oh my God! What a sin!" Wu Ju was furious. She pointed at Ji Zong's nose and continued to complain. Her voice was getting louder and louder, scaring the children in the inner room to cry.
"Think it's too much, huh? Dabao's almost gone. Are you happy now?" Ji Zong said coldly, and went into the house to help Shu Mei coax the child. His tone was so cold that it made people tremble, and there was a hint of hatred in his eyes.
"What? What did you say?"
Zhang Binglin then told Wu Ju everything about the child. After hearing it, Wu Ju did not feel sorry for her granddaughter, but instead felt even more resentful.
"You're a jinx, a jinx, a nemesis, just like your unworthy mother. You've just been born, and you're already here to collect debts. My Zhang family must have owed you in a past life. You're sending my Zhang family into hell! We're still living on coarse grains! Where's the money for your surgery? No, I have to find a way. You can't ruin my son. I know my son; he won't watch you die. As his mother, I have to come up with a perfect plan for him."
Wu Ju sat in her chair, muttering to herself. Zhang Binglin, seeing how seriously she was thinking, assumed she had changed her ways and felt compassion, and he secretly rejoiced. But he didn't know that it's difficult to change one's nature. Wu Ju, always self-centered, wouldn't show mercy to a little granddaughter she disliked. Who knew what sinister scheme she was plotting?
