After the mealtime, Sun Lifang rarely went out.
The doctor said that twins are more likely to be born prematurely, so she was extra careful and bought a calendar to record the time.
Preparations are underway now; the crib and other necessities have already been delivered to the villa.
Du Weiguo's renovation team was very efficient; in just over a month, they had installed the water and electricity lines, as well as the flooring and skylights.
Jiang Meimei went over to take a look and said, "There's still a lot of dust; we need to find someone to come and clean it properly."
One person definitely can't clean it, and besides, nowadays—
Jiang Meimei is also pregnant.
"I really didn't expect it to be so fast." Jiang Meimei frowned, her round face full of worry. "We've only slept together a few times, how could I be pregnant?"
Now that she's pregnant, Li Zhi doesn't want her to go out to work, but Jiang Meimei refuses to go—
"The boss lady can't do without me."
Furthermore, Jiang Meimei still prefers to spend time with young people.
No matter how good your mother-in-law is, you'll get bored spending too much time with an elderly person.
Zhao Faxia's life is no different from that in the countryside.
I go to bed at six or seven o'clock every day and get up at five or six in the morning, walking around in the living room.
It's fine if she goes to work, but if she doesn't go to work, she can't sleep at home, and she's even more embarrassed to sleep in.
Zhao Faxia wouldn't say anything to her, mainly because Jiang Meimei was feeling bad.
The elderly lead a very structured life, which is different from that of young people.
Jiang Meimei is only two months pregnant, so she definitely can't take care of the baby later. Therefore, Sun Lifang needs to find a nanny as soon as possible.
Plans really can't keep up with changes. We were originally counting on Jiang Meimei, but now she's still two months, or maybe a month, away from being born. Where are we going to find a ready-made nanny?
Sun Lifang, who is not going home for Chinese New Year this year, consulted Zhou Yunshi about "what gift to send back home".
We still need to give money to the elderly, but we don't know how much.
Neither of the two elderly people knew how much money they had, but they knew they had bought a villa.
Tian Daying is still unaware that her daughter has money, and she keeps muttering, "She gave birth to a daughter who went out into the world and became a golden phoenix, but she doesn't call home even once a month."
"Without me giving birth to you, you wouldn't be where you are today." Despite these constant refrains, Sun Lifang didn't take them to heart.
What's the point of taking it to heart? Are you just making yourself angry?
If we look at having a daughter through the lens of investing in stocks, then according to "economics," once you have money, you should give her some "dividends" every year.
Let's talk about money, why bring feelings into it?
She now understands that she won't be hurt by money.
The only thing that can hurt her is emotion.
Once you accept the fact that your parents don't love you, move on and look forward, you'll find peace.
As usual, Tian Daying inquired about Sun Lifang's pregnancy. Upon hearing that it was twins, she said, "If only I were there, I could take care of you during your postpartum period."
The point of saying this is to evoke Sun Lifang's sense of helplessness. When a woman is pregnant and vulnerable, she wants to lean on someone, right?
This mountain is the "temptation" that Tian Daying handed over.
Sun Lifang longed for the love of her maternal family, but there was nothing she could do; she was no longer a child.
If Tian Daying tries to make empty promises to her, then she'll just give them back.
"It's alright. How are you and your dad doing?"
Change the subject, say some polite words to get by, and say things they like to hear.
Hearing her daughter's words, Tian Daying began to complain, "Don't even mention it, your dad's back aches every time it rains, and so do mine—"
"My legs hurt after walking just a few steps. Pressing on my calves leaves a hole, and it takes a long time to get up."
Tsk, she talks as if she's more swollen than her pregnant daughter.
Sun Lifang thought she had changed the subject, but she didn't expect Tian Daying to bring it up again, saying, "I'm not well, that's why I can't take care of you. If only I were here."
Upon hearing this, Sun Lifang simply found it amusing.
Isn't this just saying "I love you" to you, but not only will I not do anything to show my love for you, I'll also run far away from you?
That would have been one thing, but Tian Daying's purpose went beyond that. She complained to her daughter for a long time, saying, "I'm willing but unable to help," and then asked Sun Lifang, "Does your mother-in-law help you take care of the child?"
Is there even a question?
With her sophisticated demeanor at sixty, complete with makeup and red high heels, would Chen Yan really help Sun Lifang take care of her child?
Tian Daying already knew this, so she deliberately asked about it.
I can refuse to help myself, but I can't accept Chen Yan refusing to help take care of the child.
So after exchanging some intimate words, Tian Daying added, "If only I were in Shanghai, there wouldn't be any mothers-in-law there to help their sons-in-law take care of their children."
Wouldn't people laugh at me to death?
"My health is fine, and I don't care what others say, but I'm just worried about what your sister-in-law will say—"
In summary, it's a whole bunch of excuses; they can't do it themselves, so they drag someone else down with them.
She was afraid her daughter would resent her, so she found a control group.
Even if Chen Yan is in the control group, she couldn't go because of her poor health and other factors. As the child's grandmother, it wouldn't be right for Chen Yan not to help, would it?
Tian Daying subtly inquired about her in-laws, "I heard Chen Yan went to a nursing home, is that right?"
“That place isn’t cheap, so my wife and I aren’t lucky enough to afford it.”
See? If Sun Lifang had trusted any one of them, she wouldn't be happy now.
Fortunately, she wasn't that foolish. No matter what Tian Daying said, she couldn't say anything bad about her mother-in-law over the phone.
If I say so, then it's as Tian Daying wishes, which means I'm standing with her.
It's a pound of gold, what's there to say?
