Chen Huimin is also a military wife. She knows how difficult it is to be a military wife, so she tries her best to take care of her young daughter-in-law. How could she be jealous? She ate the food in the lunch box, which tasted delicious.
The lunch box contained white rice, braised pork and stir-fried vegetables. Yun Siying was really hungry, but she couldn't eat any more after eating half of it. She looked at Nangong Ruochen embarrassedly: "Achen, I can't eat any more."
"Give it to me! I forgot. You should eat small meals frequently now." He took the lunch box, wiped the oil stains on her lips with a handkerchief, and started eating. He finished it in a short while.
He put down the lunch box, took out a delicate box from his pocket, opened it quickly, took out a piece and handed it to Yun Siying's lips, saying, "I know you like chocolate, so I bought it for you. Have a piece first."
Yun Siying opened her mouth to catch the chocolate candy and asked Nangong Ruochen to pass a piece to Chen Huimin, but she refused. Nangong Ruochen then took the two lunch boxes and went out to wash them.
Fang Hong on the opposite side looked at this scene, feeling extremely envious, this was the life she wanted. But ever since she gave birth to the child, her mother-in-law and her husband both looked extremely unhappy when they found out it was a daughter, and they haven't brought her any food since they went out.
The more she thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt. Tears started to fall down. The aunt next door saw it and asked with concern: "Bai Zhi, are you feeling unwell? Do you need me to go to the doctor for you?"
"Aunt, thank you, I'm fine." Fang Hong quickly wiped the tears from her face and replied in a low voice.
At this moment, the door was slowly pushed open, and a slightly bloated middle-aged woman in her forties walked in slowly. Her face, which was not pretty to begin with, looked even more harsh at this moment, as if the air around her had become heavy because of her appearance.
The woman walked straight to the bed without looking around, and placed the lunch box in her hand heavily on the bedside table in front of Fang Hong. Then she said to Fang Hong in a cold and slightly impatient tone: "Here, this is for you! Eat it while it's hot, don't dawdle!" After that, she stood aside with her arms folded, glancing at Fang Hong.
Fang Hong opened the lunch box. Inside was brown rice and boiled cabbage. There was no oil or water, let alone eggs or chicken soup. The food was not even as good as what she usually ate at home.
"Mom, I just had a baby, and I'm worried that I won't have enough milk for the baby because I'm eating such bland food. Can you give me some eggs or chicken soup to help me produce more milk?"
"Hmph! Look at how useless you are. You only gave my family a little girl like this, and you still have the nerve to make excuses for wanting to eat good food? I tell you, there's no way! Why don't you take a piss and look at yourself to see if you are worthy of enjoying those delicious dishes. You can't even give birth to a child, what can you do? I don't know why I was so blind to marry a useless thing like you!" The middle-aged woman spoke very harshly.
Fang Hong could only swallow the grievance in her heart and eat the food in the lunch box, tears streaming down her eyes again. She thought about how much her family loved her, but after marrying Yang Chaopin, because she loved him, she humbled herself and took care of all the housework at home, even during her pregnancy.
Yun Siying just watched coldly. Such a person had to stand up on her own. Otherwise, you could help her once or twice, but you couldn't help her for a lifetime. She would have to live every day on her own.
The aunt next door helped and said, "Big sister, your daughter-in-law just gave birth, you should do something good to nourish her body. As long as her body is healthy, she will be able to get pregnant soon, and your grandson will be here. If she is malnourished during delivery and her body is damaged, it will be difficult or impossible to get pregnant in the future. Even if you want to marry a new daughter-in-law, you will have to spend a lot of money on the bride price, right?"
"It's not as serious as you say. During the famine, many people didn't have enough to eat, and they died one after another. If you really care about her, you can give her something delicious." Auntie didn't appreciate it and had her own twisted logic.
The aunt next door stopped talking immediately and looked at Fang Hong with pity. Food was in short supply these days, and nutritious ingredients were even more scarce. She couldn't even support her own daughter-in-law, so how could she have the energy to help others?
Fang Hong glanced at the aunt next door with gratitude, and now her heart was even colder. Before she had even taken two bites of food, the child next to her started crying loudly, and her voice was quite loud. The middle-aged woman stood still and didn't even glance at her crying granddaughter.
Fang Hong looked at her crying daughter and could only shout, "Mom, I'm eating, please help me comfort the child."
"Why are you coaxing them? It's inevitable that children won't cry. They'll stop crying after a while." The aunt didn't care.
Fang Hong had to put down the lunch box in her hand, picked up the girl and coaxed her, but the child cried again within two minutes. The aunt in the next bed reminded her: "See if she has peed or defecated. If not, she may be hungry."
"Thank you for reminding me, Auntie." Fang Hong had tears in her eyes. She firmly opened the child's quilt and saw that the diaper was still clean. She looked at the middle-aged woman and said, "Mom, I haven't produced milk yet. Can you buy a pack of milk powder for the child?"
"What? Milk powder is such a precious thing, and she didn't eat a single piece. Just feed her some water." The middle-aged woman said angrily. She felt that this daughter-in-law was not good at managing the household. Fortunately, the monthly salary of her son was in her hands.
At this time, her husband came to the ward. Looking at the crying child, he did not even glance at him and began to pack their belongings.
"Yang Chaopin, didn't you hear your child crying?" Fang Hong now really saw the mother and daughter clearly, and regretted why she had chosen a man who listened to her mother in everything. If she goes behind the scenes, she will know the name "mama's boy".
Yang Chaopin looked at her with dissatisfaction and said to her: "The child is crying, can't you hold him and comfort him? I have already completed the discharge procedures. You put on your clothes, hold the child, and we will go home."
"Chaopin, I don't have much strength now, can I ask mom to help hold the baby?" Fang Hong put on her clothes and saw that her husband was holding things in both hands, while her mother-in-law had nothing in her hands and looked relaxed.
"Fang Hong, my mother is old and can't carry the child. You should carry the child and follow her yourself!" The man frowned slightly, his eyes full of impatience, and said unmoved.
"Chaopin, is it because the baby is a girl that you don't hold her or buy her milk powder? Is it because I didn't give you a child that you don't let me stay in the hospital for a day or two to recuperate, and don't give me nutritious food to replenish my body?" Fang Hong asked Yang Chaopin with red eyes, all the grievances she had suffered in the past year flooded her heart. Is it worth it for her to do this for a man like this?
