Chapter 211 Favoring one's relatives over those in the right
"Okay, Mom, don't worry, I won't."
Xu Sui quickly comforted Wang Yinhua, saying that if she were not married, she would definitely find a suitable partner in college. After all, she was not against marriage, and if she was going to find someone, it would be most suitable to find someone in college.
Especially in top universities, there is never a shortage of young men who are excellent in all aspects.
But she has a man and children now, so how could she possibly do such a thing?
Wang Yinhua still didn't believe it. She knew her own daughter better than anyone else. After all, she was her own daughter, and she still had to give her some face.
She waved her hand, saying she believed him, but her words betrayed her unease.
"Alright, alright, Mom believes you."
"But we can't do such a despicable thing. No matter how many temptations there are outside, you have to hold on and not let those people blind you."
"Mom likes Yunzhou as her son-in-law now and doesn't want to change anyone else."
These days, Yunzhou has been doing a great job as both a man and a father.
Xu Sui: "..."
"Okay, I understand." She smiled helplessly.
No one goes into a relationship with the intention of getting a divorce. If Qin Yunzhou can treat her and the child well for the rest of her life, she certainly won't give up on this marriage easily.
Her mother was worrying way too much.
The mother and daughter talked for a while.
As they were talking, Wang Yinhua remembered something else and whispered in Xu Sui's ear, "By the way, did your mother-in-law say how many days of postpartum confinement you should observe?"
There are specific guidelines for postpartum care, and of course, the longer the better.
When she lived in the countryside, she saw some women who didn't observe the postpartum period at all. They went back to work in the fields on the same day they gave birth. Some of them died, and even those who had milder cases suffered from postpartum illnesses, which forced them to endure the pain even in their old age.
Xu Sui nodded. "I did say that. My mother-in-law said I can leave the postpartum period whenever I feel I'm fully recovered. There's no rush."
"I plan to stay for two months."
She valued her body more than anyone else. To be honest, although the birth went smoothly this time, it still felt like she had walked through the gates of hell, making her never want to have another child.
Fortunately, with the help of Xiaomei and Grandma Qin, she didn't need to worry about the baby or her postpartum period.
Wang Yinhua breathed a sigh of relief, patted her chest, and looked at her daughter with approval.
"Two months is good. Don't listen to those people who say you can go back to work a few days after giving birth. Don't even mention a few days, you can't even do it for a month."
"Do you know why Mom looks no different from people in their thirties even though she's over forty? It's because she took good care of herself during her postpartum period."
"When I gave birth to your older brother, my only request was that I could stay in postpartum confinement until I was satisfied and comfortable. Your older brother's grandparents complained that I was being difficult and delicate, and they even criticized me behind my back, using the example of other women who went back to work after only ten days of postpartum confinement to talk about me."
Speaking of this, Wang Yinhua is still a little angry. Her first husband was a good man, but his family members couldn't stand seeing the couple living a good life.
"I didn't care about them. They wouldn't take care of me during my postpartum period, so I just paid someone to take care of me. Sometimes money isn't important; your own health is the most important thing."
"When I gave birth to you and your brother, your father knew some medical skills. I insisted on staying in confinement for a hundred days. He took care of me in all sorts of ways. He was afraid that no one would take care of me when he was at work, so he even hired a nanny for me in secret."
Wang Yinhua sighed, took Xu Sui's hand, patted it gently, and told her daughter about all her past experiences.
"As a woman, sometimes you have to put yourself first. You have to think about yourself and not care too much about what other people think. No matter how important anything else is, nothing is more important than your own health, remember that?"
"Although Mom thinks Yunzhou is good, you are Mom's own daughter. Sometimes Mom will side with her own family, regardless of the reason."
Everyone has selfish motives, and Wang Yinhua was never a kind and good woman; of course, she had her share of selfish motives.
Xu Sui was slightly taken aback, a warm feeling welled up in her heart, and she could no longer help but lean into Wang Yinhua's arms.
"Mom, don't worry, I will."
Wang Yinhua gently patted Xu Sui's head, her voice softening slightly, "It's good that you know. Study hard, Mom is waiting for you to become a college student in our family and make Mom proud."
"By the way, are you planning to sell that job?"
There are only two months left until the college entrance examination. My daughter will be out of confinement soon and will have to take the exam. Even if she doesn't go to university, she will have to go with her husband to the military. We really need to find a buyer for this job back home as soon as possible, so that we can get a higher price.
"Yes, I plan to sell it as soon as possible." Xu Sui is currently in postpartum confinement and it's inconvenient for her to appear in public. "Mom, do you have any suitable candidates?"
"You need to have a high school diploma. My position has educational requirements, so not just anyone can do it."
Wang Yinhua thought for a moment, "Let Mom handle this. Your job has a good salary and benefits, and it's a formal office position. There are plenty of people who want it. It should sell for at least seven or eight hundred yuan."
This job is quite different from the temporary jobs in textile factories that only pay three or four hundred yuan.
Xu Sui nodded, "Okay, Mom, please ask around for me. There's no rush, we can take our time."
She was quite glad that she had taken the exam and gotten a job. Now, she could resell it for a little over a thousand yuan and make quite a profit.
"Don't worry, Mom will make sure it's all taken care of perfectly."
……
Qin Yunzhou went out early in the morning and didn't return until the afternoon.
Tomorrow afternoon is the day we part ways, and the closer it gets to the end, the stronger the reluctance in my heart becomes.
After Wang Yinhua left, Xu Sui lay on the bed reading and reviewing, but she couldn't calm down. She kept looking outside, but after waiting for a long time, she didn't see that familiar figure appear.
Normally, he would go out in the morning and return in the afternoon, but today it's almost dark and he still hasn't come back.
Could something have happened?
Xu Sui quickly dismissed her worries. Impossible. Qin Yunzhou's leg had healed, and he was a former soldier with excellent skills. If anyone else got into trouble, he wouldn't be.
She thought for a moment, then continued reading and doing exercises.
"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, my cousin is back, and he's carrying a big bag with three old hens in it."
Xu Sui was just about to read a book when Du Mei suddenly came in from outside, excitedly telling her about it.
"Three old hens? Why are there so many?" Xu Sui was a little surprised.
Although there have been several spring rains this year, and this famine year is almost over, it is still springtime, the sowing has just begun, and it is not yet the harvest season. The famine year is not over yet.
Who would be willing to sell the meat from their home? Even if they did, it would be very little.
