Chapter 720: My Daughter is the Heroine Who Runs Away with the Baby (9)
"Mom! Mom! It hurts so much..." Jiang Zhuyin screamed in pain in the delivery room of the hospital, with tears and snot running down her face, looking extremely miserable.
At this moment, she was lying on the delivery bed giving birth, crying out in pain. Like any other woman in labor, she was experiencing the most painful moment of her life.
It’s just that other mothers were accompanied by their husbands, mothers-in-law, mothers or sisters, who comforted them with heartache, but Jiang Zhuyin didn’t have any of them. She gave birth to the child alone, and the severe physical pain and psychological helplessness made her feel extremely desperate and painful.
Although she knew that childbirth was a painful process for women, she did not expect it to be so painful that she struggled and wanted to jump out of the window. Fortunately, she was tied up and did not do anything irreversible.
"Don't cry and save your energy for giving birth. The sooner you give birth, the sooner you can put an end to the suffering." The doctor was already used to all kinds of embarrassment of women in labor, and said to Jiang Zhuyin in a calm tone, "Even if you call for mom, mom can't help you. You can only go through this by yourself."
Jiang Zhuyin's eyes were blurred with tears, and the severe pain in her body made it impossible for her to hear what the doctor said. She only heard the word "Mom".
How she wanted her mother to be with her now. She thought that no matter how she went too far, her mother would always be with her. But she was wrong. Even though she didn't want to admit it, she was clearly aware in her heart that it was her insistence on dropping out of school and giving birth to this child that broke her mother's heart and made her prefer to go back to her hometown rather than accompany her to give birth to a child...
"Mom... I was wrong..." Jiang Zhuyin cried out in pain and regret. She clenched her fists tightly, and her body suddenly loosened. She felt a slippery thing sliding out of her body.
"It's born." said the doctor happily.
Jiang Zhuyin's tense spirit suddenly relaxed, and then she fell into endless darkness.
When she woke up, it was several hours later. The nurse was giving her an IV drip. Seeing that she was awake, she smiled and said, "You are finally awake? It's a good time to eat something to replenish your energy."
"How is my child?" Jiang Zhuyin asked weakly.
"Your child is fine. He is in the nursery and is being taken care of. Don't worry." The nurse comforted her.
Jiang Zhuyin finally felt relieved, and then she felt hungry, and her stomach made a growling sound.
Seeing this, the nurse said, "There is the nurse's phone number on the bedside table. Ask the nurse to help buy food."
"Thank you." Jiang Zhuyin thanked the nurse and picked up the caregiver's business card. She had no one around her now, so naturally she had to do everything by herself.
After dinner, the nurse brought the baby to her and said, "It's a boy, weighing 15 pounds and very strong. If you have milk, feed him. Breast milk is very helpful in enhancing the baby's immunity."
Jiang Zhuyin took the child, but found him too soft, which scared her: "Why is he so soft?"
The nurse smiled and said, "This is how a newborn baby is. You'll get used to it after holding it a few times." Then she taught her how to hold the baby.
Jiang Zhuyin learned it clumsily, but was very cautious, as if she was holding a piece of fire. Fortunately, she was very maternal and soon got used to it.
"Baby, mom has suffered a lot for you." Jiang Zhuyin said with mixed feelings as she looked at her fragile and young son in the cradle.
She was determined to give birth to this child. When she first found out she was pregnant, she was very excited and happy. She felt that having a child who was of her and her lover's blood was the happiest thing in the world.
But when she had to force herself to do those boring jobs in order to earn money, and because of the hormonal changes during pregnancy, her body became more and more uncomfortable, and she had to bear the double pressure of physical and psychological pressure, her love for the child gradually faded away, and the previous joy and excitement slowly disappeared, and what came in its place was unbearable regret and resentment.
When she found out that one day she would resent the unborn child in her belly, she almost collapsed. She never expected that she would have such an ugly and dark side. The child is innocent and he cannot choose whether to be born or not. It is she, the mother, who has the ability to choose. However, because of the difficulties during pregnancy, she resented the unborn child. She is not a qualified mother at all.
Jiang Zhuyin no longer has room for regret; the price she paid was too high.
Now, when she looks at the child she once longed to give birth to, she no longer feels much love for him. Instead, she is more concerned about: How much money is needed to raise this child? Is her salary enough for both mother and child? What will happen to the child after her maternity leave is over? Who will take care of him?
Jiang Zhuyin felt a headache when she thought of the difficulties ahead. She wanted to escape, but these problems would not disappear just by running away. She had to face them all.
"Wa wah wah..." The child suddenly burst into tears. Jiang Zhuyin was startled and hurriedly tried to comfort him. However, every time she moved, she felt severe pain in her lower body. It was obvious that her body had not recovered from the damage caused by childbirth. She was in pain and hungry, and she was about to collapse facing the crying child. She could not help but cry too, tears streaming down her face. She didn't know why she had fallen to this point!
At this time, Jiang Zhuyin finally remembered what Zhou Shichu had said to her, about how difficult it would be to be a single mother. At that time, she didn't take it seriously, thinking that her love for the child's father and the child could overcome everything. But now she knows that love is not omnipotent, and she has to bear all the pain by herself.
Zhou Shichu didn't know that Jiang Zhuyin had given birth to a child. She was fertilizing the seedlings in her flower field. The aunties and uncles in the village saw the flowers and plants she planted and were very confused. They followed her to watch the fun like a show.
I asked her curiously, "Shichu, can you really sell these roses you grow? Even if you can, the flowers from our Shankala area will turn into ashes if shipped to other big cities. Who would want them?"
"Yes, they can be sold. Express delivery is very fast nowadays. As long as the flowers are well preserved, they can be sold. And even if I can't sell fresh flowers, I can sell dried flower tea. Anyway, the roses I grow are a variety that can be used." Zhou Shichu explained.
Even if the dried flower tea cannot be sold, Zhou Shichu can make rose essential oil herself. She has the technology anyway, but she doesn't need to tell the villagers about this.
"Can you grow it well? We have never grown flowers here. If you do this suddenly, what should we do if the flowers get sick or infested with insects? Do you have a plan?" This is what Grandpa Huang is most concerned about.
"Yes, I bought books and learned from others." Zhou Shichu said with a clear conscience.
