Chapter 14: Inexplicable stepmother
When Xuan Ziyi woke up, she had already returned to the ward from the delivery room.
"Hurry up and give the child a name, and the hospital will issue a birth certificate immediately" As soon as Xuan Ziyi opened her eyes, the nurse reminded them.
"What's the name?" Xuan Ziyi asked He Jing.
"You get up, I don't care" He Jing seemed to be unconcerned.
"Then let's call it He Mengxuan," Xuan Ziyi said casually.
"Okay, you just decide" He Jing did not object.
"You go and tell the nurse, just use this name," Xuan Ziyi said to He Jing with uncontrollable excitement.
"Okay, I'll go and say. The doctor said you can be discharged the day after tomorrow, and I have to go on a business trip tomorrow."
"Well, there's nothing to do now anyway, you can go on a business trip."
"Well, I'm relieved that my parents will take care of you, by the way, you're ready to give me a few more" He Jing deliberately quipped.
"It's enough to give birth to one, and you can afford to give birth to more," Xuan Ziyi replied with a smile.
"Many sons and many blessings, I want you to continue to give birth for me" He Jing's tone was a little tough when he said this.
"It's so painful, I don't even want to give birth" Xuan Ziyi has just experienced the pain of giving birth to a daughter, and what she said is personal.
"What are you kidding, you must give birth, at least give me another son" He Jing finally said what he wanted to say, without any cover-up.
"What? You are patriarchal" He Jing's words made Xuan Ziyi vigilant.
"It's not patriarchal, now that there are girls, it's better to have another boy," He Jing heard her displeasure from Xuan Ziyi's tone.
Xuan Ziyi stopped talking, and when He Jing walked out of the room, Xuan Ziyi's mother told Xuan Ziyi about the performance of He Jing's mother and sister outside the delivery room after learning that Xuan Ziyi had given birth to a girl.
"No wonder they're not here" Xuan Ziyi reacted at this time, her mother-in-law and sister-in-law were not in the hospital.
He Jing didn't argue with Xuan Ziyi before the business trip, he just arranged for Li Dong to take Xuan Ziyi out of the hospital.
Xuan Ziyi successfully passed the confinement under the care of her mother, and her mother-in-law and sister-in-law came to see Xuan Ziyi twice during the confinement period. Every time I came, I stayed for about an hour. I didn't talk much, and I didn't hold the child once. He Jing went on a business trip for three weeks during Xuan Ziyi's confinement period, and only one week did not travel, and he always worked overtime in the company. And He Jing is very annoying that the child is crying, as long as the child cries, he sleeps in another room. Xuan Ziyi had fire in her heart, but she told herself to learn to forbear, she didn't want her mother to be there and quarrel with He.
Xuan Ziyi's mother went back to work after serving Xuan Ziyi's confinement, and reminded Xuan Ziyi that it was best to let her mother-in-law help take care of the child before leaving
Xuan Ziyi didn't want to ask her mother-in-law for help at first, but later found that she couldn't be busy alone, so she and He Jing asked her mother-in-law to come over to help.
"There's something I have to tell you." He Jing felt that the time to tell Xuan Ziyi the truth, he thought that Xuan Ziyi had already obtained the certificate with him, and the child had been born, and he thought that she would definitely not have any objections after she knew.
"What's the matter, what do you say" Xuan Ziyi has been speculating from her mother's description of her husband, mother-in-law, and sister-in-law outside the delivery room that there must be something strange in it. I have been waiting for He Jing to tell the truth.
"I also have a daughter, who is already ten years old." He Jing's face was calm and calm when he said this.
"You're divorced?" Xuan Ziyi's expression was not as calm as He Jing, but she didn't show any special surprise.
"Forget it, it's complicated, it's a long story" He Jing had lit a cigarette.
"You'd better not smoke, Mengxuan is still young. Where is that girl now? Where is your ex-wife? Xuan Ziyi snatched the cigarette from He Jing's hand and pinched the cigarette butt.
"Then I'll go out to eat, my mother has been carrying it for me" He Jing snatched the cigarette from Xuan Ziyi's hand.
"Why are you telling me this now?" Xuan Ziyi didn't understand, since the girl was taken by his mother, why did he tell her.
"My mother said that she is too old to take it anymore, and I am also married, so we should take it ourselves" He Jing didn't look directly at Xuan Ziyi, but he finished his words.
"It's too late to take care of Mengxuan now, you can either hire someone" Although Xuan Ziyi didn't feel good in her heart, she didn't want to quarrel with He because of this. She thought she had something to hide from him, so she had to get by.
"My customers haven't paid me back yet, and I'm a little financially tight. Either I'll ask my mom to come over and take care of you and the two kids together, at least she can help. He Jing's calm reaction to Xuan Ziyi was a little unexpected, so his tone of voice became gentle.
"Okay, let's try it." Although Xuan Ziyi didn't want to get along with her mother-in-law, she knew that she had to face reality. At this time, her daughter was just over a month old, unemployed, and now she has added the status of a stepmother. He Jing's confession to her gave her a new understanding of her lightning marriage. She knew that she was going to start getting to know He Jing again and get to know her husband again.
On the morning of the day when her mother-in-law led He Jing's daughter to appear at home, Xuan Ziyi was busy breastfeeding Mengxuan.
"There's no need to keep holding the child, it's easy to spoil" He Jing's mother criticized as soon as she entered the door and saw Xuan Ziyi holding the child and opening her head.
"It's so small, of course you have to hold it for breastfeeding" Xuan Ziyi couldn't listen to it, and immediately said a sentence.
"If you are so favored, you will be offended in the future" The old lady saw her daughter-in-law pushing her, and coldly threw down a sentence.
After Xuan Ziyi finished feeding the child, she looked at He Jing's daughter. She found that the child was quite standard, his body was a little thin, and the coat and pants he was wearing were obviously fat, at first glance, they must be old clothes, Xuan Ziyi guessed that it must be clothes that He Jing's sister did not wear. Her hair hadn't been over for at least a week, her ears were short, and the top of her head was oily, covering her head unusually well. Only a pair of eyes revealed a little unruly, and when he looked at Xuan Ziyi, he was not timid, but a little provocative.
Xuan Ziyi couldn't help but have a cold war in her heart, but quickly calmed down.
"What's your name?" She asked the girl with a smile, trying to get closer to her.
"We called her Xiaoyuan, and she didn't want to go to school, so she stayed at home now." The girl didn't speak, and the old lady rushed to speak.
"If you don't go to school, why don't you want to go to school"
"I heard that you graduated from college, so it's time for you to teach, I hope you can teach her well," the old lady snorted.
"Xiaoyuan, you tell Auntie why you don't want to go to school?" Xuan Ziyi put Meng Xuan in the cradle to sleep. Walk towards the little girl.
"They all bullied me at school and didn't want to go to school," the girl finally replied, but her words were full of indignation.
"Oh, why are they bullying you?" Xuan Ziyi wants to know more about this girl.
"I don't know, I'm hungry right now." The girl didn't want to continue this heavy topic, and she was wary of Xuan Ziyi.
"I haven't cooked breakfast yet, there are quick-frozen buns and dumplings in the refrigerator, I'll heat them up for you" Xuan Ziyi ran to the kitchen.
Xuan Ziyi was cooking dumplings, her head was at a loss about her life, she found that her current life deviated from her original intention, she had only graduated for more than three years, and she had achieved nothing in her career, and she accidentally not only became a mother, but also became a stepmother. Watching the dumplings tumble in the pot, she felt like she was the dumplings being cooked, and there was no choice!
