Yun Niang is almost one month old. These days, mother and son of the Li family dote on her like a treasure.
Just because she gave birth to a son, mainly because the Li family had been looking forward to this child for too long.
Mrs. Liu had always been thinking about Mrs. Wang. She had been mother-in-law and daughter-in-law for several years. The two of them had never blushed. Few people could compare to this kind of relationship.
After all, apart from not giving birth to a child for the Li family, the Wang family has never done anything to disgrace the Li family.
Before Yun Niang was born, Mrs. Liu always talked about her at home, and would make sarcastic remarks when she saw that she was unhappy.
But after seeing her precious grandson, Mrs. Liu completely forgot about Mrs. Wang's arrival, and her whole mind was on her grandson.
"Ali, your wife's brown sugar is almost finished. I just want to buy a few chickens. You can watch them at home. I'm going to the town. There's a big market today so I can make a good selection."
Li Li agreed, Wang took the money, packed up and was ready to go out.
Yun Niang said, "Mom, I'm not that rich. A pound of brown sugar is enough. There's no need to buy more. That stuff is very expensive. What woman doesn't have children? There's no need to spend so much on good things."
Ms. Liu said with a smile, "I want it, I want it. Look at how thin you are. You need to take a good supplement after giving birth, otherwise your milk supply will not be enough."
After Mrs. Liu left, Yun Niang smiled proudly and said, "Am I considered a hero of your Li family? Your mother will never talk about that woman again in the future, right?"
Mrs. Liu used to talk about Mrs. Wang from time to time, and said that Mrs. Wang was more virtuous than her, which made Yun Niang very angry.
Li Li hurriedly said, "My mother has long recognized you in her heart. She just spent a few more years with the Wang family and was not used to it for a while. Now that you have given birth to Dabao, it is too late for her to love you."
Yun Niang curled her lips and said, "If it weren't for me, your Li family would be dead. I don't know what you think of your daughter-in-law, but she fell in love with a hen that can't lay eggs. It's only because of my generosity that I don't care. If it were someone else,
Who is willing to enter your house?"
"Yes, yes, you are the best." Li Li coaxed her with a smile, and now he agreed to whatever Yun Niang said.
It's not that he has no feelings for Wang. He used to be good to Wang, but he wanted a child too much, and Wang couldn't satisfy him.
The moment the child landed, Li Li completely forgot about the Wang family and had nothing to do with him anymore.
Madam Liu went to the town market with a basket on her back. After buying a few things, she went to the grocery store to buy brown sugar, where she met Madam Wang.
Ms. Wang also came to buy brown sugar. The waiter had already packed it and she bought two kilograms.
Mrs. Liu was very embarrassed when she saw her, and thought of her eldest grandson. To be honest, Mrs. Wang was indeed ashamed of the Li family for not giving birth to a grandson for her.
Although what Ali did was unkind, Yun Niang did give birth to a child, and now everything comes first.
"I haven't seen you for a long time." Ms. Liu greeted her first.
Mrs. Wang nodded and bowed slightly to her, "It's been a long time indeed, Auntie."
Mrs. Liu looked at the brown sugar in her hand and said, "Why did you buy so much brown sugar?"
What she was thinking was, could Mrs. Wang be pregnant?
How long had they been divorced? If she were pregnant now, I'm afraid she wouldn't take Ali into her heart.
Wang said, "My mother is a little weak. Joy said she doesn't need to take care of her condition. When she feels dizzy, she can drink it with some brown sugar. I will buy some today."
Ms. Liu looked at the brown sugar and couldn't recover, "Look, I bought quite a lot."
The price of brown sugar is high, and now that the world is unstable, the price has increased a lot. A pound of brown sugar costs two cents of silver.
The piece Wang had on hand cost half a tael, even if someone in the family gave birth, she actually bought it to replenish her mother's health.
Wang didn't say anything, but nodded, "I still have something to do, so I'll leave first. Please excuse me, aunt."
Seeing that she was about to leave, Mrs. Liu couldn't help but said, "Ms. Yun gave birth to a big fat boy. He was almost seven pounds when he was born. He will be a full moon in a few days. He will become whiter and tenderer as he grows. If you want to go and see him,
It’s okay to watch, but that doesn’t mean we’ll never interact with him again.”
Mrs. Wang never expected that she would let her go to Li's house to see Yun Niang's child, and she was completely ignoring her.
Mrs. Liu was so happy when she talked about her precious grandson that she didn't even notice that Mrs. Wang's face didn't look very good.
"That child is so good-looking, how could you not like him? I hold him in my arms all day long and can't bear to put him down."
Mrs. Wang interrupted her with a smile, "Yun Niang is a good-looking woman, and the children she gives birth to will naturally grow well too."
"Now that my aunt finally has her grandson in her arms, I don't have to worry about it anymore. Let the past matter be in the past."
Mrs. Wang took out a small longevity lock from her sleeve, "I prepared this for my child. I was thinking about coming to visit someday. I met my aunt today, so I will give this to you."
She was originally hesitant about how to come to the door. Now that Li Li has a child, it is time for her to make a complete break with the past.
But she didn't want to come to see how their family was doing, and Mrs. Liu's attitude today chilled her heart.
When they divorced, both of them cried so sadly, but now it seems that Mrs. Liu only has Yun Niang and her child in her heart, so why should she worry about them anymore?
After giving this longevity lock away, we will have nothing to do with each other in the future. Even if we meet on the street, she will greet him with a smile and treat each other as just acquaintances.
Mrs. Liu hesitated for a moment, and then took the longevity lock, her face still a little uncomfortable.
"W-how is this so embarrassing?" She felt that she shouldn't accept such valuable things from Wang, but her family really needed to save more money now, and raising a child was quite expensive.
This is a small long-lasting lock, it is exquisitely made, but it only costs one tael of silver, so the dealers are reluctant to buy such a thing.
Mrs. Wang smiled and said, "There's nothing to be embarrassed about. Auntie just accept it."
Mrs. Wang nodded at her, then turned around and left. The moment she stepped out of the store, she felt much relieved, as if she had figured out many things.
She didn't feel that she was unlucky at all. How could she encounter such a thing? It would happen one day, sooner or later.
It's good now. After the divorce, she has a job to make money, and she is doing better and better. When she is busy, she has no time to think about what is available and what is not.
She saved her own money and made her family's life better. After gaining the ability, she could walk with a straight back.
Without the things she had worried about before, people would only talk about how her life was getting better and better, and they didn't care about her divorce from Li Li because she couldn't have children.
Furthermore, so what if I just said it?
Joy is right, your own well-being is the most important thing, and you don’t need to care about other people’s opinions at all.
She was extremely grateful that she had a clear mind. Even when she didn't think it through completely, she still chose the right path and didn't cling to it.
If the longevity lock is given away, there will be nothing left to miss.
