Not long after, a loud cry echoed throughout the yard.
But outside, apart from the two daughters who were still crying and worried about their mother, Manager Wu and the old lady had already gone back to sleep.
When the first ray of sunlight poured down on the earth, Zhao Xiangrong and Pan Xi were ready to go out. As soon as they opened the door, they met the neighbor woman next door.
"You went out to buy groceries early in the morning." Zhao Xiangrong greeted the woman.
The woman, carrying a basket, said, "Yes, my mother-in-law helped deliver a baby last night and was exhausted all night. I need to nourish her body today."
The three of them chatted as they walked out until they reached the door of the store and then parted ways.
When Chen Wei came to the shop.
Zhao Xiangrong's heart was still complicated. She sighed and immediately told Chen Wei the news she got from the woman: "Wei Wei, Mrs. Wu, the shopkeeper, gave birth to a son."
"It was really not easy for her. I heard that she spent a whole day and night giving birth to this son."
Chen Wei was shocked.
This is not modern times, and there is no pain relief equipment.
In ancient times, giving birth in one night was a lot of suffering, right?
"After giving birth all night, is Mrs. Wu okay?"
Zhao Xiangrong suppressed his distressed emotions, nodded happily and said, "I heard that mother and child are safe."
After hearing that both mother and child were safe, Shen Wei was stunned for a second, then smiled and said, "It's good that she's safe. I'll go see her after she's out of confinement."
After all, there are too many taboos in confinement. Although Chen Wei doesn't care, it's scary that someone does.
She didn't dare go to see Mrs. Wu immediately.
Unexpectedly, a few days later, a maid from the wife of Manager Wu came over and asked Chen Wei to go to the martial arts gym.
Chen Wei immediately bought gifts and visited the martial arts gym on the way there.
The maid took Chen Wei directly to the lady's room. In the room, the old lady greeted Chen Wei with a smile: "Xiao Wei, you are here."
"Come and accompany Xiaoyun quickly. She just gave birth and needs someone to comfort her."
Chen Wei was surprised by the old lady's sudden enthusiasm, which made her feel a little weird.
She hasn't met the old lady before, so how could she be so warm?
Before she could think, Xiaoyun, lying on the bed, said to the old lady, "Mother, please carry the child for a walk."
When the old lady heard that she could hold her grandson, she hurriedly took him away.
Before leaving, he did not forget to say to Chen Wei with a smile:
"Then I'll bring my grandson back later to feed you. You two can chat slowly. Xiao Wei, it's okay for you to stay a little longer. Just spend some time with her."
When only Chen Wei and Xiao Yun were left in the room, Chen Wei moved a stool and sat in front of Xiao Yun's bed.
As soon as she entered the room, she felt something was wrong. The old lady's excessive enthusiasm and the sadness between Xiaoyun's eyebrows were like the morning mist, hazy and confused and cold.
"What happened?"
When Xiaoyun saw the concern in Chen Wei's eyes, the strength she had shown in the past few days instantly melted into water and flowed out from the corners of her eyes.
Seeing Xiaoyun like this, Chen Wei guessed that her childbirth was not so smooth.
But when Chen Wei heard what had happened in the past few days from Xiaoyun, his face immediately turned cold.
Xiaoyun had no one to talk to about the depression she had been experiencing these days. Now she finally found an opportunity to ask Chen Wei to come over. She cried and asked Chen Wei for help.
"Xiao Wei, wuwuwuwu..."
"What should I do? If it were you, what would you do?"
"On the day of delivery, I was in there, barely escaping death, but they were outside discussing bringing the woman back home. They even said it would be a good thing if I died in there, so they could free up space as soon as possible."
"If I hadn't given birth to a son, I would have been kicked out by them long ago."
"I feel so suffocated now. Every day when I see them trying to hug my son, I want to vomit. I want to beat them to death."
"Wuwuwu...Xiaowei, I really can't think of any other solution, so I'm using my son as a threat. Unless they ask you to come and talk to me, I will feed my son and take care of him."
"I'm so disgusted with myself. I actually used my son as a bargaining chip. I feel like my life is such a failure..."
