Chapter 20.1
Lin Shiheng has always been committed.
For the rest of his life, he also tried his best to make his wife and daughter happy as he has vowed.
He Xuezhus month of confinement was done very well, which has a little to do with Li Chunhua. Her husband has been promoted again and even promoted to two levels, both in terms of salary and resources.
(TNote: month of confinement = the first month after giving birth, usually new mothers arent allowed to go out or touch cold things, or even feel the cold wind on her body. Its said that these things could take root and cause harm to the body during this period.)
After giving birth, she didnt need to worry about how she would do housework with her mother-in-law at home. When the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were still very close and good to each other, Lin Shiheng quickly hired a babysitter. Although both of them thought it was a bit expensive, they had to agree that with the babysitter around, neither mother-in-law nor daughter-in-law had to work hard, so there was no reason to quarrel.
The treasure in Li Chunhuas heart had become her little granddaughter since He Xuezhu was in her month of confinement period.
If it had been in the past, she might have expected her son and daughter-in-law to have another grandson, but now she knows that her son can no longer have children.
This child will be Lin Shihengs only bloodline.
Lin Shiheng specially invited an old doctor of traditional Chinese medicine, who was highly praised among officers, to make a diagnosis and give treatment when He Xuezhu was taken home. Although she had not suffered any hardship since she came to the army base, and she also had a good nourished body, but she worked hard in her early years. The old doctor of traditional Chinese medicine said that she should take the opportunity of this confinement month to take good care of her body.
Li Chunhua immediately volunteered to take care of her granddaughter.
At first, Lin Shiheng advised her that she should just enjoy her elder days, and that children were always noisy, so it would be better to let the babysitter take care of her. But Li Chunhua firmly believed that babysitters only did things because they were paid, certainly not as meticulous as she would be.
Fortunately, they later found that the child is really very good, besides being hungry or wetting herself, she almost didnt cry. Seeing Li Chunhua didnt get tired because of the child, but became even more radiant than before, and every day her spirit grew stronger; Lin Shiheng didnt stop her.
People have soft hearts. If Li Chunhua took good care of her at first because she was the only child her son has and the only granddaughter; then when she took care of her for more than a month, she loved her granddaughter who was beautiful, delicate, tender, and clever.
The baby girl, nicknamed Leyang, looks really good. According to Li Chunhua, the child is clever and mischievous. She would grow up beautiful and filial to her parents.
When the child had a full moon banquet, almost all the military wives in the courtyard came, including Zhou Qianqian.
She looked gloomy and stood at a distance, looking pale. With a round face and a warm and happy smile, she knew at a glance that He Xuezhu was well taken care of.
Her mother-in-law is holding the little baby and showing her to others with a face full of love. Her tone is full of pride. My familys darling is very good. She never makes any one angry. Only cries when shes hungry.
Look at this little face. It looks so good.
The baby is in swaddling clothes. Zhou Qianqian can see that when the baby is closing her eyes, her long eyelashes are slightly curved, beautiful and thick, and her small and delicate features would make her a beauty when she grows up.
Zhou Qianqian never thought it was a good thing for a girl to be too beautiful before. Isnt it because of beauty that her neighbor was liked by a fat and ugly rich man, and the girls family married her off for the money?
Even if the rich man is nice to her, but he is still a wife-beater when he was drunk. Zhou Qianqian has never been jealous of her neighbors daughters beauty before. After this happened, her jealousy was completely gone.
After all, if she had such beauty and someone came to their door with money to ask for her hand in marriage; her parents would certainly be eager to send her off.
In Zhou Qianqians mind, no one would love girls.
But today, this idea has been completely overturned.
She looked at someone who saw the baby girls lovely snow-jade-like face, holding out her hand to touch the face. Li Chunhua quickly evaded while holding the baby, Her face is tender, still small, it would hurt.
Some people laughed at how she cares about her granddaughter so much, but she also justifies it by saying, my family Xuezhu is so nice. Having a granddaughter like her, I would certainly love her dearly.
He Xuezhu wore a beautiful pearl necklace around her neck. Some people jokingly asked her if Lin Shiheng bought it, and why he didnt buy gold. The man who greeted the guests outside came in with a smile on his face. Xuezhus skin is white, the gold doesnt suit her, and she has made several gold bracelets, but she didnt like it because she thought it was heavy.
Someone heard it and asked Li Chunhua with a smile. Her son bought a pearl necklace and a gold bracelet for her daughter-in-law, but didnt he buy some for his mother?
Li Chunhua smiled and raised her neck to show them what are you asking? See here?
She didnt show it on her face, but she was very proud in her heart. At first, Shiheng only wanted to buy one for his mother, saying that he felt sorry for her hard work in taking care of the child. But Li Chunhua opened her own mouth, asking, how could he buy one for her for taking care of his child, but not buy one for He Xuezhu who actually gave birth to the child? Only then did her son think of buying one for his wife.
Every time she sees her son and daughter-in-law standing together with good feelings, Li Chunhua always sighs in her heart. This is thanks to her credit, otherwise Shiheng; this stupid silly boy, wouldnt be able to coax Xuezhu to be this happy.
Holding her cherished granddaughter in her arms, Li Chunhuas heart was filled with satisfaction. She glanced over and suddenly noticed Zhou Qianqian standing far away with a gloomy expression. Her eyebrows jumped immediately.
This is a happy event in their family. Why is someone still showing a sad face? Isnt this a bit of a bother?
When it was almost time to start, Li Chunhua could not help but pull Sister Zhangs hand and asked.
Sister Zhang sighed and looked back at Zhou Qianqian. She probably had a hard time too. Recently she had a miscarriage and lost a baby boy. Before her body recovered, she was scolded by her mother-in-law and husband, pointing to her nose.
Li Chunhuas disgruntled expression turned into sympathy. She had a miscarriage; how did it happen?
Sister Zhang shook her head. Originally, this baby was not stable. She went to the hospital, just to calm the fetus. But, I did not know why, she went to the corridor to get some air. It seems that she got stimulated, and couldnt keep the child.
As she said that, she sighed again, not keeping it is also a good thing for her. Her husband is going to divorce her. Its really hard to do that with a child.
Divorce?
Li Chunhua was even more surprised. Although she had been instilled with a lot of ideas by Lin Shiheng, she still felt in her heart that a woman would be a husbands family member all her life after she got married. If she were divorced, how would she live her life?
She sighed and said, because she lost a child they are getting a divorce, its not like she couldnt get pregnant again later
No. Sister Zhang shook her head. After all, it was other peoples family business; she wasnt too embarrassed to tell her even more.
If she hated Zhou Qianqian because she was stirring up trouble, she felt a little sympathetic after learning the reasons for her divorce.
Zhou Qianqian as a person may have many shortcomings, but she was very concerned about her only friend, Miao Xing. Miao Xing was subjected to domestic violence by Zhang Yanming. She finally escaped and hid, and she didnt know what Miao Xing was thinking. Instead of going to the police, she had to hide.
Miao Xing found Zhou Qianqian, Zhou Qianqian who just had a miscarriage was depressed, and her mother-in-law didnt care about her body and went straight back to her hometown. Her husband often went out to work and did not return home. After being asked by Miao Xing, she took her in.
During the day, Miao Xing hid in her and her husbands home and didnt show up, and people in the courtyard usually had a normal relationship with Zhou Qianqian, but no one found out.
Later, they learned that Miao Xing had been hiding in Zhou Qianqians home. It was because Zhou Qianqian, who always only talked about other people; chased out and beat Miao Xing with a broom.
After being stopped, she cried and said that she was kind enough to take Miao Xing in, but she hooked up with Zhou Qianqians husband.
In addition, she also heard that the two were discussing divorce and then get married to each other.
Zhou Qianqian needed her husbands care when she had just miscarried, but when she was at her most vulnerable, the sister she thought was her best friend gave her a fatal blow.
She didnt think of it until now; The reason why she targeted Lin Shiheng at the beginning was because she believed that Miao Xing would never pester him when she knew he had a wife.
Because of this, she has been targeting Lin Shiheng, then He Xuezhu. And finally, she was rejected by the whole yard and even lost her baby.
At the beginning, the wronged woman complained that she would never have anything to do with a married man. Lin Shiheng was the one that lied to Miao Xing. Now, when she had just miscarried and needed to recuperate, this woman rolled into bed with her husband.
Who could she blame? Who told her to believe Miao Xing? And personally bring the woman into her own home?
Zhou Qianqian directly took a broom and chased the naked Miao Xing all over the courtyard.
She did it to ruin the one thing that Miao Xing cared about most; reputation.
Finally, the farce stopped when her husband slapped her on the face and announced that he would divorce her.
Zhou Qianqian did not cry as her husband thought she would. Instead, she threw down her broom and said exactly what Miao Xing had said to her.
Only then did the people in the courtyard know why Zhou Qianqian had been targeting Lin Shiheng.
Its not just about injustice for a sister, but she was cheated by Miao Xing, who was full of lies.
Sister Zhang wanted to persuade them, but: first, it was someone elses family business, and secondly, Zhou Qianqian had disappeared since then. They only met again at the Lins babys full moon banquet.
Zhou Qianqians expression was wrong, and it was difficult for everyone to drag her to talk about those things at a banquet. After getting busy, they found that she was gone.
