Chapter 210 Talking About Mother and Daughter
Du Mei smiled and said, "It's alright, Auntie, I'm not tired."
"My grandma is always there to help me. She teaches me things I don't understand, so don't worry, Auntie."
Taking care of two children is tiring—changing diapers, washing diapers, feeding, getting up in the middle of the night to soothe them… and it’s two at a time—but to be honest, no matter how tired I am, I feel at peace.
She now earns her living with her own hands, no longer relying on her grandmother for support as before, nor on others. She feels at peace with herself.
Her second cousin and his wife treated her well, paying her a monthly salary of twenty yuan.
This salary is almost as high as my aunt's salary in the textile factory, and it's about twice as high as my grandmother's salary for sweeping the streets. Plus, it includes room and board. If she keeps working like this for a few more years, she'll be able to save up a considerable amount of money.
Seeing that Du Mei was serious, Wang Yinhua glanced at the two children in the cradle who seemed to be well taken care of, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"That's fine. I was worried you wouldn't be used to it, so I thought I'd come and ask."
Having spent a long time with the old lady, Du Mei realized that Wang Yinhua's apparent concern for her was actually an attempt to check on how well she was taking care of the two children.
She smiled and said, "Don't worry, Auntie, I will take good care of Yan Yan and Yao Yao."
Grandma said that since she chose to do this job, she should do it well for others. They are all family, and she can't fool her own family, otherwise she would only hurt her cousin and his wife's trust and care.
Wang Yinhua nodded, "You're a reliable and good kid. Your aunt and your cousin-in-law trust you to get things done."
"Xiaomei, do a good job, your aunt has high hopes for you."
The two talked for a while and then looked at the child.
Only then did Wang Yinhua go back into the house to see her daughter.
After going inside, she closed the door, walked to the bedside, sat down, and looked around. "Where's Yunzhou? I can't see him."
I had just stepped into the Qin family's house when I didn't see anyone.
She remembered that Yunzhou's train was tomorrow afternoon, and the young couple would soon be separated, probably not seeing each other for a long time. Why wasn't Yunzhou with his wife and children?
Xu Sui put down her review book and explained, "Mom, Yunzhou went out on something. He went to the countryside to exchange some things for me to take care of during my postpartum period."
Qin Yunzhou told her about this last night.
After all, once he leaves, the family won't be able to get her anything to nourish her body.
Wang Yinhua was stunned for a moment, then a hint of relief appeared in her eyes. "So that's how it is. I knew Yunzhou wasn't the kind of man who would neglect his wife and children."
"Here, I brought you a stew of soybeans and pig's feet. It's good for lactation. You're in your postpartum period now, so you should eat more of these things to nourish your body."
"By the way, now that you have two more babies, do you have enough breast milk? If not, how about you make some rice porridge for the babies? Or, I can ask around and see if I can get some formula coupons so we can buy some formula to mix with their milk."
"Mom, no need. Yunzhou already had someone send several cans of milk powder from Beijing. His friends in Beijing also sent some over, knowing he has a child. It's enough for now."
After Qin Yunzhou's actions yesterday, Xu Sui did have some breast milk, but not much.
She asked her mother-in-law and other experienced women, who said it was normal for the amount to be small at first, and it would increase over time.
There's still a lot of baby formula sent from Beijing, so she doesn't need to feed it herself for the time being.
Xu Sui and Qin Yunzhou had discussed it and decided that relying solely on formula to feed the child was not feasible, since formula coupons were hard to come by. They would have to use a mixture of formula and breast milk to feed the child.
Upon hearing this, Wang Yinhua became even more satisfied with her son-in-law. She smiled, opened the lunchbox, picked up the chopsticks beside her, and handed the stewed pig's feet with soybeans to her daughter.
"You have good taste."
After much deliberation, every man my daughter chose was perfect.
She had previously expressed regret over the childhood friendship between Gu Shu and her daughter, who had grown up together as childhood sweethearts.
Looking back now, Yunzhou wasn't lacking in anything compared to Gu Shu. If their daughter had chosen Gu Shu back then, she probably wouldn't have had such an easy and carefree life in the Gu family.
How many of those wealthy and powerful families would look down on those who are not as good as them?
Just by looking at her son-in-law's attitude of having no attachment to the Gu family, she could roughly guess what kind of people the Gu family were. They were probably not an easy family to get along with, and not even as good as the Qin family.
Although the Qin family has its share of conflicts and isn't entirely harmonious, in this day and age, what large family living under one roof can be without any conflicts?
As long as it's not a big deal and doesn't affect the relationship, it's really not a big deal.
As Xu Sui sipped her fragrant pig's trotter soup, she was reminded of the bankbook her husband had handed over yesterday. She smiled and nodded.
Qin Yunzhou is indeed a good person. At least for now, he is a good husband and a good father.
To be honest, in this day and age, how many men would support their married wives who have already had children to go to university?
Even if such men exist, there are probably only a handful.
Qin Yunzhou not only did not oppose her, but also did his best to support her, providing financial assistance and helping her find connections to solve one problem after another.
Overall, he is indeed quite good.
Wang Yinhua, having been through it all, saw the happy smile that appeared in her daughter's eyes when her son-in-law was mentioned, and her heart finally settled down.
However, the thought of the young couple's impending separation made her heart, which had just settled down, start to pound again.
"Sui Sui, tell Mom that you and your husband were just starting to get along like newlyweds when you suddenly separated, and you don't know when you'll see each other again."
"This couple has been separated for so long, what if something happens..."
"Mom, no, I believe him." Xu Sui understood what Wang Yinhua meant as soon as she heard this, and she interrupted Wang Yinhua.
"Mom, first of all, Yunzhou is not that kind of person. Secondly, even if he were, I would have ways to ensure that my own and my child's interests are not harmed."
Qin Yunzhou has almost all his money with her. After she finishes university and starts working, her salary will definitely be high, and raising a child won't be a problem.
"Oh dear, of course Mom believes in Yunzhou. Mom is worried about you, afraid that you'll change your mind and be blinded by those young men at university. You are Mom's child, and Mom knows you better than anyone else what kind of person you are."
Wang Yinhua quickly replied.
"Don't go to college for a few years and then start complaining about not wanting a man or children."
Xu Sui: "..."
Okay, she misunderstood.
While other mothers worry about whether their sons-in-law will change their minds, her mother is different; she worries that after her daughter goes to university and broadens her horizons, she might abandon her husband and children.
However, given the original owner's personality, she was indeed capable of doing such a thing.
Wang Yinhua became more and more worried as she spoke, and finally couldn't help but glare at her daughter.
"Sui Sui, let me tell you, Yun Zhou is a good person. You two are married now and have a child. If you really go to university, you can't mess around outside and provoke people you shouldn't."
My daughter is beautiful, and even now that she has a child, she still looks like an unmarried young girl. When she goes out for a walk, she can attract the attention of many unmarried young men.
There must be more young gay men in that university.
Her daughter is so beautiful, she doesn't look like a married woman who has had children at all. It's hard to guarantee that she won't attract unwanted attention.
It's one thing if they're just average-looking guys, but the real problem is when some local Beijing men, from good families and good looks, are pursuing my daughter.
The daughter, in a moment of folly, did something as foolish as abandoning her husband and children.
