Mother Ling and housekeeper Wang got along well. Apart from their different aesthetics and sometimes different perspectives, there was no major friction.
Until Mother Yu arrived.
Mother Yu looked at her in-law at home and then looked at housekeeper Wang who was asking her how to take care of her newborn baby and the flames in her heart began to burn.
“Old Wang, Old Wang, you are also a member of our Yu family! I was the one who recruited you back then, and what happened? How come you, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, betrayed us?”
Butler Wang with thick eyebrows and big eyes, “I didn’t.”
“How did you not!” Mother Yu was distressed, “Qing Qing’s mother has moved in to take care of Qing Qing, but what about me? I’m still three thousand miles away, not being able to watch over my daughter-in-law!”
“If I hadn’t decided to come and see Qing Qing today, I wouldn’t have known that the enemy had already broken into our army, and you!! You are the traitor!”
Butler Wang: “…Then I can’t drive Madam Ling out.”
“You could have told me quietly, couldn’t I come here?” Mother Yu instructed him, “Qing Qing is married to Xiao Yu, and now he’s pregnant, so our family must take care of him. What’s the point of letting his mother take care of him? People will think that our family doesn’t like Qing Qing and doesn’t value this daughter-in-law.”
Butler Wang recalled for a second, “I don’t think Madam Ling has this idea.”
“Even if she has it, she won’t tell you. That’s why you men are not thoughtful enough. And I have to do things like taking care of pregnant people.”
Butler Wang:…
“You’ve been talking for a long time, but don’t you just want to stay and take care of the young lady?”
“No, it’s just that I can do it alone, there is no need for my in-law.”
Butler Wang:…
“Then you go and tell her.”
“How can I count on you?”
Mother Yu looked at him with disappointment and walked out.
Mother Ling was still preparing ingredients for the afternoon soup when she heard Mother Yu say in a gentle voice, “In-law, I’m sorry. Our Xiao Chen is not sensible. I feel bad for bothering you to come here.”
Mother Ling didn’t care, “It’s okay.”
“Actually, I wanted to come and take care of Qing Qing before, but Xiao Chen was afraid that Qing Qing would feel restrained, so he didn’t let me come. Now that I’m here, you can take a rest.”
Mother Ling understood.
In fact, she did not object to Yu Chen’s mother coming to take care of Ling Qing. Yu Chen’s mother was willing to take care of Ling Qing because she valued Ling Qing. If she had never come from the time Ling Qing became pregnant to the time he gave birth, even if Ling Qing said that he thought this was best, Mother Ling would still worry that the Yu family did not like Ling Qing that much.
Now that Mother Yu was here, she was somewhat happy.
“Thank you for your help, in-law.”
“It’s my duty, it’s my duty.” said Mother Yu.
That night, Mother Ling told Ling Qing that since Mother Yu had come, she would go back first, otherwise there would inevitably be friction when the two mothers met.
Ling Qing had no objection, he just hoped that Mother Yu would be like Mother Ling and not care about him too much.
Mother Yu did not really restrict him too much. After all, she had an insider, Wang, who knew the lifestyle her daughter-in-law liked. So she only asked him to go downstairs for a walk on time, accompanied him to water the flowers and take care of them, and then talked to him about Yu Chen’s childhood, which made Ling Qing laugh often.
Seeing that Ling Qing liked to listen, Yu Chen just let him go, but reminded his mother, “Don’t say anything too embarrassing, it affects my image.”
“I know.” Mother Yu drank tea calmly, “You still have a lot of image baggage. What, you want to be a star too?”
“It’s enough for me to be a star for him alone.”
Mother Yu hissed and rubbed her forearms, “It’s so corny. I got goose bumps.”
Yu Chen said nothing proudly and left the small garden with his head held high.
As the two parents took turns taking care of the child, on December 30, Ling Qing and Yu Chen’s baby officially came into the world.
The delivery process went very smoothly. It was a caesarean section and both parents were present.
Mother Ling and Mother Yu were extremely worried and told each other about their own experiences giving birth.
Upon hearing this, Father Ling and Father Yu also talked about how they felt when they were waiting outside the delivery room.
Yu Chen was the only one silent there, clenching his fists nervously, wishing that he was the one lying on the operating table.
Mother Yu comforted him, “It’s okay, nothing will happen, don’t worry.”
Yu Chen nodded, but he still couldn’t stop feeling panic in his heart.
Mother Ling looked at him and felt that he was much more affectionate towards Ling Qing than she thought.
Although the beginning of this marriage was not happy, fortunately, the process and ending were happy.
When Ling Qing was pushed out of the operating room and transferred to the ward, Yu Chen quickly followed. Ling Qing was still conscious and could say to him, “It’s amazing.”
Yu Chen gently touched his face and hugged him, “Thank you for your hard work. It was not easy for you.”
Ling Qing smiled and said, “It’s okay.”
He really felt that he was okay. The child was very well behaved and he felt very relaxed during the pregnancy. He even felt that he could have another child.
Yu Chen didn’t want him to have another child. “One is enough. You’ve worked so hard. I can’t bear to do it again.”
During these ten months, Yu Chen was much more worried than Ling Qing. Ling Qing knew that this was a book about having children. The original owner had done that before, and him and the child were fine, so he would definitely be fine too.
But he didn’t know that Yu Chen watched him worriedly every day, carefully recording his physical condition, and immediately calling the doctor in charge of him if he felt unwell. He called the doctor so much that he felt like he was going bald.
Especially in the month when Ling Qing was about to give birth, Yu Chen was afraid to go out of the house and was always afraid that something might go wrong during Ling Qing’s delivery. For this reason, he often harassed Zhang Peng and the surgeon who was to be responsible for Ling Qing’s surgery.
This worry, which was beyond his ability and out of his control, reached its peak when Ling Qing was pushed into the operating room. At that moment, Yu Chen even thought that it would be better to let him get pregnant. If he got pregnant, he wouldn’t have to worry so much.
So he didn’t want Ling Qing to have another child. Having a child was a good thing, but a ten-month pregnancy was too long and Ling Qing had it too hard.
Ling Qing didn’t insist. After all, it was too early to talk about this now. They just had a child and were not in a hurry to have a second one.
If in the future, he and Yu Chen both felt that the home could be livelier, and the baby also wanted a younger brother or sister to grow up and play with, then naturally they could have another one.
But if the baby didn’t like it, or if he and Yu Chen both felt that taking care of a child was too hard and they were too busy, then there was no need to add more burden to the two of them.
They already had a child of their own, which was perfect.
