Chapter 123 We must let them go.
Pan Hong thought for a moment and said, "Then it was probably for his sister."
Wang: Really?
Pan Hong said, "Anyway, he doesn't have a girlfriend. Apart from his sister, I really can't figure out which girl he would call."
Wang thought about it and realized it made sense; her eldest daughter was overthinking things.
"He's not a talkative person, is he?"
"Yes, he doesn't like to talk, has a bad temper, and doesn't know how to make girls happy at all. Otherwise, would he still be single?"
This……
"Hmph, if he hadn't been born into such a family, I bet he'd be destined to a life of poverty and hardship. Mother, you should introduce my younger sister to him. But let's not even talk about whether the Fu family would be willing. A man like him would make life miserable for my younger sister; it would only ruin her life."
Wang: "..."
She pouted and said, "Men are different from women. If a man is capable, he doesn't need to be sweet-talking. He's not going to be a live-in son-in-law, so why would he need to be sweet-talking?"
Pan Hong angrily retorted, "Mother, what are you saying?"
Wang quickly changed the subject, saying, "It's nothing, it's nothing, you go ahead with your work."
Pan Hong: "..."
……
During lunch, Zhang Fangfang brought up the topic of their departure, saying that they had to leave the next day.
Still here.
Wang felt uncomfortable and annoyed, but she still pretended to be surprised, "Why so fast? Mother-in-law, you rarely come here, you should stay for a few more days."
Especially the eldest sister-in-law of the Pan family, she knew nothing about it, so it was so sudden that she was caught off guard.
Zhang Fangfang said, "I would like to stay a few more days, but my son Ayi has to go to work. He starts work the day after tomorrow and has to leave tomorrow."
"Oh? Well... going to work is important, but you can let him go back first. You can stay here for a few days, and Pan Hong will drive you all back in a few days."
Pan's eldest sister-in-law's lips twitched, her face filled with anxiety. "Yes, how could she just leave like that? I was even saying I'd give birth and have postpartum care with my sister-in-law. She's suddenly leaving, and I... I wasn't prepared at all."
Zhang Fangfang looked at her in surprise, thinking, "What are you going to prepare? Besides, what's the point of sitting together during postpartum confinement?"
It's tiring enough for a family to take care of one person during postpartum confinement; wouldn't it exhaust the old lady to death if two people were to do it together?
Thinking about her mother-in-law's previous favoritism, where even when she made chicken soup, only Xiaoyi got a share, she couldn't let her daughter stay here.
If the two of them actually have a baby together, and the mother-in-law favors Xiaoyi, then this sister-in-law will suffer.
“Sister-in-law Pan, we won’t take the car back this time. Xiao Yi is quite far along in her pregnancy now, and I’m afraid she won’t be able to handle the long journey. We’ll take a plane back first; planes are fast, and it only takes two or three hours.” As she spoke, she looked at Pan Hong and said, “Pan Hong, bring the car back.”
"Yes," Pan Hong replied meekly.
"Huh?" Mrs. Wang exclaimed in surprise, "We have to take a plane?"
"Yes, airplanes are fast."
“How can that be? What if she suddenly goes into labor while flying in the sky? We can’t just stop flying right away.”
Zhang Fangfang's lips twitched, and she said, "I asked the doctor yesterday, and she can fly."
"This..." When did she ask that?
Could it be that after they had all left, she said she remembered something and ran back to ask about it?
Wang was shocked, thinking that her son was probably right and that they really did have some suspicions.
From the moment Fu Leyi experienced abdominal pain to her visit to the People's Hospital, and then to the examinations, including asking about pregnant women flying, they all seemed to have been prepared.
She now suspects whether Fu Leyi actually had a stomachache today.
She began to struggle with whether to hold onto her current wealth or take a gamble.
Pan's eldest sister-in-law had not yet accepted the offer and tried her best to persuade her to stay.
“Xiaoyi, we were having such a good time together, it’s so sudden that you’re leaving. Why don’t you stay here, have the baby, and go through postpartum recovery before you go? We can do postpartum recovery together and take care of the baby together, then you’ll have company.”
Before Fu Leyi could speak, Zhang Fangfang interrupted.
"Sister-in-law Pan, thank you for your kindness, but let's forget about it. Having a pregnant woman in the family is already enough to exhaust your mother-in-law. If you two were to go through postpartum confinement together, who knows how exhausted she would be."
If I don't take care of anyone properly later, and they don't get proper postpartum care, it'll be a real problem. A woman's postpartum period is crucial; otherwise, she might develop postpartum complications that last a lifetime.
Having said all that, it would seem too deliberate for her to try and persuade him to stay.
Moreover, she found it strange that her mother-in-law hadn't said anything, and Pan Hong had even responded.
Could it be... that this agreement is just going to be dropped?
“Mother.” She looked at Madam Wang.
Wang's expression darkened, and she placed a piece of fish on her plate.
"Eat more, nourish your body, don't let the child go hungry."
Pan's eldest sister-in-law: "..."
Wang gave her a wink and said, "Xiaoyi is fine now, it's good for her to go back. Medical conditions in our countryside are not good, it's safer in the big city."
She didn't know what changes had occurred, but since her mother-in-law had said so, she naturally had nothing to say.
She would wait for her husband to come home in the evening, then pull him into the house and whisper to him for a long time.
Then Pan Yi came out and went to knock on Wang's door.
Wang came out of the house. "What are you doing?"
"Mother, what does it mean that my sister-in-law is leaving?"
Wang craned her neck to look at the room opposite, then pulled him inside and whispered, "Your brother suspects they know something, which is why they suddenly came to our door without saying a word."
"How is this possible? How could they have guessed that we were going to switch babies?"
After thinking for a moment, Wang said, "They might have guessed that we were planning to switch babies. Anyway, they won't let Fu Leyi stay here to give birth. In any case, they must think it's unsafe to give birth here, so they want to take Fu Leyi back."
"What should I do?"
"What else can we do? Let them take them away. It would be strange if we forced them to stay. You didn't come back at noon, so you didn't hear what they said. Two pregnant women are here, making me suffer. They're worried I can't take good care of them, so they want to take one of them away. Besides, they implied they looked down on our hospital."
Pan Yi: "..."
"Hmph, I think they're just making a fuss. Which woman doesn't have children? Back when the production team recorded work points, if a woman was in a hurry to give birth, she would just give birth in the sweet potato ditch without any warning."
"How can that be the same? Giving birth in Sweet Potato Gully is considered a lowly life. Fu Leyi is a young lady from a wealthy family; she's never even picked up a fallen broom since she was little. How can a woman with a lowly life compare to her? My mother-in-law said that she wants to give birth at the military hospital," Wang said sarcastically.
"Pah." Pan Yi spat and said, "I can't stand her like that. If my woman were that pretentious, I could beat her three times a day."
"Alright, alright, stop talking. If someone hears us, we won't even be able to keep our current wealth."
