Chapter 218: The Real Hammer Follows Old 3
As Darong expected, if her mother-in-law didn't come when Ruyi gave birth, it would definitely cause provocation and dissatisfaction. At this moment, Darong was secretly glad that Ruyi was asleep.
"Her father-in-law is in poor health, so I didn't let him come. If the old man falls down at home, Xiao Du won't be able to take care of him."
Darong took all the responsibility on herself, without losing face for her daughter or leaving any room for Xiao Ling to blame.
In fact, many times, a mother's pickyness is what really leads to the unhappiness of her daughter's marriage life. The way to love your daughter is not to tell her how bad your mother-in-law is, but to let your daughter feel her goodness when the mother-in-law is not bad.
In this way, Darong's mother taught Darong how to find happiness in ordinary life, and Darong also used the same method to protect Ruyi's happiness.
"Mom, my mom is here."
As soon as Darong finished speaking, Xiao Huya entered the ward with his mother.
"Sister-in-law, why did you rush over? Didn't I ask Xiao Du to tell you not to run away?" When Darong saw Xiao Huya's mother coming in, she hurried over to greet her.
Ruyi's mother-in-law stewed chicken soup at home all morning and prepared lunch for Darong and Xiaohuya. She carried a lot of things in big and small bags and took two buses to get to the hospital.
"As soon as I got downstairs, my mother called me and said that the meal was ready and would be delivered to me. She didn't allow me to buy food outside."
Xiao Huya greeted all the elders in the room, put away the things he was carrying, and then spoke to Darong.
"We are old now, and grandma has to work hard. I can't help with anything else, but it's no problem for me to cook for her at home."
Little Tiger Tooth's mother was greeting Darong cheerfully, but her eyes were always on her precious grandson.
When others were old enough to become grandmas, Little Tiger Teeth’s mother finally became a grandmother. Needless to say, she was filled with joy and loved her grandson so much.
"Let grandma hug you." Xiaoying, who had been holding the child, quickly put the child in the arms of Little Tiger Teeth's mother.
"Oh, this child is so endearing." Little Tiger Teeth's mother was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling.
"Mom, you're here?" Ruyi was awakened from her half-sleep by the sound of people talking.
"Ruyi has suffered, so mom made chicken soup for you, as well as millet porridge and white rice gruel. I brought a little of each. Just take a look and drink whatever you want."
Little Tiger Teeth's mother knew that Ruyi liked to drink porridge, so she specially cooked it at home and brought it to her in a small lunch box. This made Darong feel warm in her heart, and she thought that her Ruyi was blessed.
"Ruyi, this is the red envelope that your mother gave you. Take good care of yourself. I am worried about your father being alone at home. I will come to see you later."
Before leaving, Xiao Huya's mother put a thick red envelope under Ruyi's pillow, which made Xiao Ling, who was standing by, very jealous.
She had long forgotten that Linlin's in-laws hired a confinement nanny when she gave birth. She only remembered how difficult it was for her to help Linlin take care of the child. So now she was jealous of the red envelope given by her mother-in-law Ruyi.
This is probably the reason why Xiao Ling has always been unhappy with her life. She always responds to other people's kindness with the memory of fish.
"Nowadays, it's the mother-in-law who decides where to go for the confinement center. Where did you choose?"
After Xiaohuya's mother left, Xiao Ling couldn't help but provoke Darong.
"My mother-in-law is not a wealthy woman. Even if she is, I won't pay the IQ tax." Ruyi's mouth always reacts faster than her brain, and she retorted without even thinking.
Darong happily followed up the conversation: "I'm retired now, I just need to take care of her during the confinement period. Anyway, I don't feel comfortable leaving the child in the hands of outsiders. No matter how good the confinement nanny is, she is still working and can't take care of the child like we do."
"That's right. Now many maternity centers are not formal. Even though they charge high fees, the real practitioners are not professional." Yuxiu has a son, so naturally she can't stand Xiaoling's nitpicking about her in-laws more than Darong.
When Ruyi gave birth to her child, confinement centers were no longer a new product. However, due to the varying levels of quality of practitioners and the profit-making desire of private owners, information that affected the development of the industry was often reported during that period.
It seemed that Xiao Ling had not yet recovered from Ruyi's words to her. She sat on a stool beside her with a grim look on her face and stopped talking.
People of Darong's generation seem to love comparisons, starting with comparing themselves to their grandchildren, and they never get tired of doing so.
Xiao Ling was beautiful when she was young, but she could never compare to Darong's temperament.
Later, when both of them had children, Linlin and Ruyi were nicknamed "two little flowers". They were equally pretty and cute, but their academic performance was very different. Xiao Ling was always jealous at that time.
Later, when Linlin was going to marry into a wealthy family, Xiaoling seemed to have a slight advantage and always showed off Linlin's life in front of Darong intentionally or unintentionally.
However, when the weather is wild, it will rain, and when people are wild, they will suffer misfortunes. The seemingly peaceful and satisfactory life, and now the stable and solid life seems to have surpassed Linlin again. The ups and downs of the gap in Xiao Ling's heart are also incomprehensible to others.
"This child doesn't look like you at all." Xiao Ling stared at the child and said slowly to Ruyi.
"Yes, fortunately his father is not shaved."
Yuxiu almost couldn't hold back her laughter at Ruyi's words, and Xiaoling's face turned green. She didn't have much contact with the grown-up Ruyi, but she didn't expect that this girl would speak like the third sister, without giving anyone face at all.
Ruyi had just given birth and was at her most unstable emotionally. Plus, she was not a gentle person to begin with, so her ability to confront and annoy people was definitely a combination of the third brother and Zhong Yunsheng.
"You really have to say it. Your aunt is embarrassed." After Xiao Ling and her group left, Darong looked at Ruyi helplessly and said.
"Who told her to recruit me? She still has the nerve to talk about my son. Everyone knows that his son-in-law is Zhu Ganglie Benlie. What's wrong with my son taking after Lao Du? He's not an ugly child if he takes after Lao Du."
"That's true."
With the mother-in-law filter, Darong, with little tiger teeth, is naturally a handsome, cheerful and sunny boy.
During those days in the hospital, Ruyi fully realized how difficult it is to be a mother, from the pain at the incision after the anesthetic wore off to the heart-wrenching feeling when pressing to assist in defecation.
The arrival of a little guy completely changed Ruyi's future life.
When Ruyi was discharged from the hospital, Zhong Yunxing drove with Xiaoping to pick him up. Darong held her precious grandson in her arms all the way, thinking about Ruyi's future life, her eyes full of smiles.
"Okay, I, Ruyi, have endured so much hardship, but I have finally made it through. I will have a good life from now on."
