Lin Ruoxi's delivery process was relatively smooth.
But the child born was not a son, but a daughter.
When the nurse brought the child to her, Lin Ruoxi had a blank expression, without a trace of joy on her face.
She knew that Mother Gu had always wanted a grandson. She wondered what her reaction would be if she gave birth to a daughter.
Will she urge Gu Lingfeng to divorce her?
No, you can't!
Lin Ruoxi struggled to sit up from the delivery bed, "Please, don't take the baby out for now, wait a minute..."
However, before she could finish her words, Gu's mother started shouting impatiently outside the door.
"Nurse, bring the baby out for us to see!"
"My eldest grandson must be white and fat!"
The nurse placed the baby in a swaddle, picked him up and walked out.
"No, don't tell them..."
Lin Ruoxi shouted weakly, but it didn't help at all.
When Mrs. Gu heard that it was a girl, her face changed instantly. She pulled the nurse in disbelief and asked, "How could it be a girl? I fed her so much pickled vegetables, how could it be a girl?"
The young nurse couldn't help but frown. "It's not that eating pickled cabbage will give birth to a boy, but women who are pregnant with a boy may like sour food. Auntie, what era is this? Why are you still favoring boys over girls?"
"Aren't they all your grandchildren, regardless of gender?"
She handed the child over, but Mother Gu refused to hold the child. Gu Lingfeng and Father Gu also had gloomy faces and refused to reach out.
The young nurse was so angry that she gave them a few cold looks.
"You don't want your granddaughter anymore. What are you thinking? Abandoning a baby girl is a crime!"
In the end, it was Gu Lingfeng who took the child over.
He thought the girl was at least cute, but when he took one look at the ugly monkey-like baby in the cradle, he immediately felt disgusted and wanted to throw her away.
When Lin Ruoxi came out of the delivery room and was sent back to the general ward, all the people from the Gu family were gone.
The crib was next to the bed, empty.
She suddenly had a bad feeling and pulled the nurse's arm and asked, "Where is my child? Where is he?"
The nurse looked into her ward in confusion. "Strange, why are your husband and mother-in-law gone? I told them to take the child to have a bath and vaccinations, but they didn't tell you?"
"No!" Lin Ruoxi's face was pale, and she had to hold on to the wall to barely stand up. "Do you know where they went?"
The nurse shook her head: "I don't know."
After saying that, he went about his business.
Lin Ruoxi had just given birth, but no one was taking care of her. She stayed alone in the ward, watching the woman in the next bed being cared for by her husband, and tears couldn't stop flowing.
She regrets it so much!
She shouldn't have counted on Gu Lingfeng and married into the Gu family in the first place.
Look at what kind of life we are living now?
However, this is only the first day.
In the following days, except for the time when Gu's father came to pay the hospital bill and gave her twenty yuan, no one from the Gu family showed up again.
She was already weak after giving birth, and not only did she have no one to take care of her, she also had to take care of the baby in the cradle.
Because she had no milk, she begged the woman in the next bed to help her breastfeed her baby twice, but when she asked for the third time, she refused.
Lin Ruoxi was reluctant to spend money on milk powder for her baby, so she had to rush out of the hospital and carry the child back to the compound.
However, Gu's mother was unwilling to let her in and she didn't care about her face. She brought up the past with her in front of the neighbors, saying how she was immoral before marriage, lazy and a habitual liar. If it weren't for Ling Feng's pity for her, he would never have married her.
He pointed at the baby and said that it was definitely not Ling Feng's child, and it didn't look like anyone in their Gu family at all. He hoped that she would voluntarily divorce and save some dignity for both of them.
Lin Ruoxi was not willing to do that. Even if she lost the bet on this marriage, she had to get some benefits before leaving.
If she just leaves like this, where will she live with her children?
Go back to Lin Qiu’s little house?
No, she never would!
After crying, making a fuss, and even threatening to commit suicide, she finally pried open the door to the Gu family.
But even after returning to the Gu family, her life was still not easy.
When other people are in confinement after childbirth, their mother-in-law will take care of them with delicious food and drinks, and help wash diapers and clothes, but what about Gu's mother?
Not only did he not prepare her portion when cooking, he also deliberately hid the fish, meat, and eggs, fearing that she would have eaten enough.
Lin Ruoxi has to take care of the children, cook and wash clothes every day, which is extremely miserable.
She had no milk yet, so she could only make rice soup to feed her child.
The child didn't like rice soup and always spit it out. Lin Ruoxi angrily threw things and hit the pillow like a mad woman.
As soon as the child cried, Gu's mother ran in and scolded him.
Two months later, the baby not only did not gain weight but became thinner, which made mother and father Gu even more unhappy.
During this time, Lin Ruoxi was fed up with this child, so she decided to go out and find a job to find a way out for herself.
After much difficulty, she found a handyman job in a barber shop. When she returned home, she found that her child had fallen off the bed at some point and was dead.
She picked up the child, rushed out of the room in horror, and yelled at Mother Gu.
"Mom, why did Nini fall off the bed? Didn't I ask you to watch her?"
When Mrs. Gu saw her child like this, she was so scared that her face turned pale.
Only then did she remember that before Lin Ruoxi left home at noon, she seemed to have given her some instructions, asking her to look after the child.
But she didn't agree!
"How can you be a mother? You leave your child at home and go out to play! And you have the nerve to blame me for not taking good care of the child?"
Lin Ruoxi was so angry that she fell backwards, holding the baby in one hand and grabbing Gu's mother's hair with the other, pulling hard.
