Zhou Yang was a complete mess, and the due date was getting closer and closer. Shen Xinyi started to take maternity leave when there were still two weeks before the due date.
Then, with nearly a week left, Lin Xiaoman packed up his belongings and took Shen Xinyi to a private hospital specializing in obstetrics and gynecology.
The best obstetrics and gynecology hospital in Wu City is, of course, also the most expensive.
As soon as Shen Xinyi was hospitalized, Li Jing came the next day. After a lot of greetings and care, her Pacific police nature couldn't help but show up.
"My mother-in-law, this hospital is not cheap, right?"
Although medical insurance can also reimburse part of it, compared with public hospitals, the cost of private hospitals is definitely double.
"This room is big, just like a hotel. How much does it cost per night?"
"The bed fee is 800 a day." Lin Xiaoman answered truthfully. The room in the ward is very big. In addition to the hospital bed, there is a small bed next to the wall. The caregivers who accompany the room can also sleep comfortably. There is also a TV, refrigerator, sofa, and bathroom. , even a simple kitchen, everything is available.
The condition is good and the price is naturally not low.
"800, so expensive!" Li Jing's voice was high-pitched. She was used to saving money and spending money frugally. In her opinion, the hospital bed fee was 70 to 80 yuan a day at most, which was a full 10 times!
This is a five-star hotel!
"It's okay, anyway, the family doesn't lack this little money." Lin Xiaoman said very boldly, and then asked her with a smile, "How can you be so unreasonable about such a big event as giving birth to a child? Do you think so, mother-in-law?"
"Haha, yes, yes, such a big thing as having a child cannot be spared." Li Jing's expression was a little stiff, and she swallowed all her words of 'diligence and frugality', and her smile was stiff in agreement.
Although she was extremely dissatisfied with this extravagance, what could she say?
Lin Xiaoman's words, 'My family is not short of money,' made Li Jing speechless. She felt that if she said anything else, it would make it look like the husband's family had no money!
In the past, Li Jing could confidently teach Shen Xinyi to be diligent and thrifty because she felt that their family was rich and her daughter-in-law's family was poor, and she was justified in saying this.
But now, her daughter-in-law's family is richer than hers, and if she says this again, it will appear that she is acting like a petty family.
This is similar to the fact that when rich people save money, they are frugal, and when poor people save money, they are stingy.
"By the way, mother-in-law, look at Xinyi's belly. It's so pointed. As the old saying goes, a tipped belly is a boy!"
Not mentioning the money matter, after a few seconds of silence, Li Jing changed the topic.
Whether the child is a boy or a girl is definitely a major concern. As an older generation, although it is not a serious preference for boys over girls and insists on giving birth to a boy, Li Jing prefers a fat grandson after all.
"Boys and girls are all the same now." Lin Xiaoman chatted with her with a smile, "Society is different now. It doesn't have to be boys. Nowadays, girls are more powerful than boys. Above. Look at my Xinyi family, it’s a ready example! How many men at this age can earn Xinyi’s salary? My mother-in-law, do you think so?"
With a sinking heart, Li Jing only called her "Yujie", which was clearly referring to Sang Huai's mocking of how little her son earned!!
So angry, so angry!
Although she was angry in her heart, on the surface, Li Jing could only smile and agree with Lin Xiaoman's words, "Yes, Xinyi is really capable. The main reason is your mother-in-law's good teaching!"
Her unsatisfactory son's salary has not increased much in recent years!
The son earns so little that even Li Jing herself feels that she cannot hold her head high.
"I am an illiterate person who has not graduated from elementary school. How can I teach her? We at Xinyi have to work hard on our own. This success is always accompanied by diligence and hard work!" Lin Xiaoman's standard and proud appearance, Huang Po She praised her daughter as if she were selling melons, "Besides, my Xinyi has been smart since she was a child. When she was a child, a master gave her life approval, and she will be a wealthy woman in the future."
Hehehehe in his heart just wanted to roll his eyes, but Li Jing still agreed with her face.
Just like that, Lin Xiaoman kept bragging and refuting her with words that made Li Jing feel embarrassed in her heart, but she could only smile and agree on her face.
It was probably because Lin Xiaoman was so angry that she had a myocardial infarction. The next day, Li Jing didn't come, but on the third day the man came again and had another awkward chat. After sitting there for a while, Li Jing went back on the pretext of having something to do.
Then on the fourth day, before Li Jing came, Shen Xinyi's amniotic water broke, and she was pushed into the operating room to give birth to the baby.
Lin Xiaoman stayed outside the operating room and called Zhou Yang by the way.
Within half an hour, Zhou Yang came over, and half an hour later, Li Jing and Zhou Dagui also arrived together.
"You haven't given birth yet? How long have you been in there? What did the doctor say? Can you give birth naturally? Is there no danger..." As soon as Li Jing arrived, she asked Zhou Yang a lot of questions.
Zhou Yang answered a few words. In fact, he didn't know, but no doctor came out to say anything to the family members, and the doctor didn't communicate with the family members. That was definitely good news.
If a doctor comes out to discuss with the family, that's when something goes wrong.
Several people were waiting outside the operating room. About two hours later, a nurse came out and called, "Family members of Shen Xinyi, come here and follow the child..."
"It's coming, it's coming!" Li Jing hurried forward and asked eagerly, "Nurse, is it a boy or a girl?"
"boy."
Li Jing looked overjoyed and grabbed Zhou Dagui's arm with excitement on her face, "Old Zhou, did you hear that? Boy, we have a grandson! We are now grandparents!"
"I heard it, I heard it." Zhou Dagui's face was filled with joy and he was also very happy.
"Nurse, where is my wife?" Zhou Yang stepped forward and asked, "When will she come out?"
"The adults have to wait a moment, they will be out in half an hour at most. One of you can follow the child, and the rest can continue to wait here for the adults."
"Let's go see the child." Li Jing pulled Zhou Dagui and said hurriedly, then turned around and told Zhou Yang, "Xiao Yang, you and your mother-in-law can wait here for Xinyi."
"Yeah." Zhou Yang responded, not in a hurry to see his son.
In less than half an hour, Shen Xinyi was pushed out in about 20 minutes. He was so tired that he fell asleep and his face was a little pale.
Lin Xiaoman asked the doctor a few questions and found out that everything was going well. He would recover soon after taking a nap.
After returning to the ward, within a quarter of an hour, Li Jing and his wife came back with the nurse and their child.
A wrinkled child has not grown yet and has no beauty at all.
"Look at this little face, it looks so much like Xiao Yang..." Li Jing baba baba, excited about the child.
Lin Xiaoman rolled his eyes speechlessly in his heart. How could he still look like this?
After being excited about her grandson for a long time, Li Jing thought of something.
"My mother-in-law, this confinement period..." Li Jing wanted to say that there was no reason for confinement at her parents' house, and their home was a villa, which was convenient to live in. If it was not possible, she would have no objection to letting Li Yanying live in and take care of her.
As soon as she opened her mouth, Lin Xiaoman immediately interrupted her, "Oh, mother-in-law, you don't have to worry about this. We have already booked a confinement center and will live in the confinement center for 3 months."
Li Jing:……
Opening her mouth, Li Jing just wanted to say that there was no need to be so wasteful, right? After all, both of them were idle, so they couldn't take care of one big and one small?
But without giving her a chance to speak, Lin Xiaoman continued, "It's okay. It's very cheap. It's only 30,000 a month. Just think I only earn 20,000 a month."
When it reached her mouth, she swallowed it. Li Jing didn't want to say anything else.
