Why not hang yourself on the southeast tree

The old woman and daughter-in-law were arguing again, and they called me to ask me to judge the matter.

[She insisted on having a caesarean section, so-and-so's son was born by cutting open the belly, and he's in the second grade and still gets zeros on exams. Our grandson in the Wu family can't be a fool!]

[Caesarean section? How much does it cost? ]

I subconsciously asked about the price because I was really scared about staying in the hospital.

Although my son and daughter each paid half and did not touch my savings account, it was a total of 99,000 yuan, a huge sum of money!

If I calculate carefully, the eight million yuan for that house in Beijing is enough to bury me.

The old woman stayed in the ward and basically didn't care about money matters. She looked confused when asked about it.

[All women in the world have to go through this when they become mothers. She is just a delicate person and can’t endure hardship. Anyway, I don’t agree to a cesarean section, so don’t even think about asking me to sign!]

Fortunately, she was hiding in the bathroom to make the call, and her sleeping daughter-in-law couldn't hear her, otherwise her son would have to grab her bald head on both sides to coax her.

【All the same.】

It's enough to have a grandson, I swallowed the second half of the sentence. My daughter-in-law likes spicy food and won't eat sour food at all.

Ugh……

A granddaughter is a granddaughter. Her surname is Wu. It would be nice if she was as filial as Lan Zi.

My heart was beating fast and I wished I could fly thousands of miles away to wait for the prize announcement.

……

The hospital in Beijing is a public one and has targets for normal childbirth. If they are not met, the performance of all employees will be bad.

Therefore, even though she was willing to pay, the doctor refused the daughter-in-law's request for surgery and pushed her directly into the delivery room.

The old woman stood outside the door, pacing back and forth with her fists clenched.

Another elderly couple, who were concerned about their daughter, were still on their way to the hospital, anxiously waiting.

The delivery room was chilly. There were ten beds in a row, all filled with women who were experiencing the agony of labor pains.

Some groaned, some howled, and some cried bitterly.

The daughter-in-law trembled and grabbed the internal examination nurse's arm and asked for a caesarean section for the last time.

[Didn’t you say I can make my own decision? It hurts so much, please, doctor, I want a cesarean section! ]

The pale-faced woman in labor on the bed next to her also raised her neck, wanting to see how the nurse would answer.

[No, it's already two fingers dilated. You can give birth on your own. Believe in yourself and be brave! Natural childbirth will recover quickly. You are young and can give birth to another baby soon! ]

The delivery room was silent for a moment, and the next moment it was filled with weak wails.

Worried.

[How is it going? Has my daughter been born? ]

The in-laws finally arrived, grabbed the old woman's hand and asked about the situation anxiously.

As a result, I learned that I would have a natural birth.

[Oh, my daughter is most afraid of pain. She has been asking for a cesarean section. Is it because your son disagrees and wants my daughter to suffer?]

The father-in-law spoiled his daughter since she was a child. When he heard about natural birth, he became anxious, his face flushed and his neck became thick, and he was so angry that his teeth itched.

The old woman grabbed her son and didn't want to argue with an old man.

The quarrel outside could not be heard in the house.

The daughter-in-law has lost count of how many internal examinations she has undergone, and she feels her self-esteem and shame being torn apart and rubbed under the soles of the medical staff's feet.

She murmured, "I want a cesarean section, I want a cesarean section, it hurts so much, wuwu... I want to be discharged from the hospital, mom, save me... dad, save me..."

The doctor went in and out, and the painful internal examination was repeated countless times.

[Open four fingers...]

[Notify Dr. Zhao to use the painless pump...]

[Six fingers open...]

The daughter-in-law was in so much pain that she was unconscious and kept shouting for a cesarean section when she was pushed into the delivery room.

Fortunately, she still remembered the baby in her belly and listened to the doctor.

After a lot of trouble, I finally heard a loud baby cry.

[Wow——]

The doctors were all busy with their own tasks, performing initial examinations on newborns, suturing lacerations on mothers, and manually removing the placenta.

hiss--

Congratulations, I have a grandson.

A real grandson with a penis, not a granddaughter.

Let’s have another granddaughter next time. It would be nice to have a brother.

The old woman's tone when she called was very proud -

[I said we should have a natural birth. This child is so handsome, he looks a lot like our son, with big ears, loud crying, and two whorls on his head. He will bring honor to our family in the future! ]

I sat in the wheelchair rented from the hospital, grunted and turned to the statue of the great man in the main hall, and bowed three times sincerely.

[Thank God, the Wu family has a successor! ]

I choked up and didn't notice the momentary sadness in Lan Zi's eyes while she was wearing an apron.

My son said that I am waiting to name my grandson, so for now, he will be called Dou Dou.

I patted my thighs and told my bones to try harder and get better soon. I generously took out 500 yuan and asked Lan Zi to prepare more bone soup for me, saying that I would only eat bone soup to replenish my body.

The old woman tried to stop her daughter-in-law from hiring a confinement nanny, but failed. She was so angry that she called me to complain, saying that her daughter-in-law didn't need her and should just go back to her hometown.

I didn't respond, because I knew she was just saying that out of anger. She had been waiting for three years for her grandson, so how could she be so grateful for him...

The old woman said that the confinement nanny was lazy. Apart from taking care of Doudou's eating, drinking, defecating and urinating, she didn't do any housework at all and didn't clean up anything. She wanted to fire her.

I still didn't respond. The old woman didn't know what was going on, and she didn't ask us to pay. Lan Zi said that the salary of a confinement nanny is tens of thousands, and I can't afford it...

The old woman said that the confinement nanny would not let her hold Doudou and rock him to sleep, nor would she let her kiss Doudou's face, let alone change his pee and poop. Her tone was so fierce, as if she, the grandmother, was trying to harm the child. It was unreasonable, and the two of them got so angry that they had a fight.

I was so nervous that I had to persuade my wife that she would only work as a confinement nanny for a month or two, and it was not worth it if she got angry...

The old woman said that her daughter-in-law was useless and had insufficient milk. She refused to drink the specially stewed pig's trotter soup and crucian carp soup, and let Dou Dou only drink milk powder. What should she do if she didn't get enough nutrition?

I pursed my lips, scratched my beard, and wanted to smoke, but Lan Zi refused to buy me one. I was so angry...

The old woman said that her daughter-in-law secretly ordered takeout, a family bucket of fried chicken, but she stopped her and hid in the kitchen to eat it for two days without finishing it. The house was too small, and she slept on the sofa as long as the child was born, and her old waist was about to be broken.

I ate the pig's trotter in my hand clean, then picked up another one. Hmm, Lanzi's cooking skills have improved...

The old woman said that her son had forgotten his mother after he got married. A can of milk powder costs more than 700 yuan, and Doudou needs to eat every two hours, so it costs at least several thousand yuan a month. The confinement nanny also makes Doudou wear diapers in such hot weather, which are not breathable and expensive. If she said a few words about it, she would be scolded by her son and daughter-in-law.

I reached my hand into the splint and carefully scratched my leg. There was grayish-white dirt in the cracks between my nails. It was so itchy, so itchy...

The old woman said that the confinement nanny had finally left, but Doudou cried so hard that the ceiling was about to fall off, and the three adults couldn't stop her from crying, so they wanted to invite the confinement nanny back.

What can I say, isn’t it normal to have troubles in February?!

The old woman said that February’s noise had almost killed her. After a few words, she became slurred and fell asleep, snoring.

I:……

Three months passed in the blink of an eye.

I am still worried about my grandson's name, and I have almost torn apart the Book of Changes for a week.

My in-laws gave me ten very fancy options, but I felt they were not grand and I didn't like any of them.

It takes a hundred days to heal a broken bone. My daughter-in-law has already completed her double confinement period, but I still have to walk slowly with the help of a cane.

The son said, why not wait until the baby is one year old, and then they can come back together to hold a one-year-old party and then give the baby a name.

How could that be possible? In a hurry, I asked Lan Zi to take me to the capital.

Expectation!
