I hope Mother will show some mercy and not say too many harsh words, or at least argue with Father in private.
"By the way, since you and Xiao Cui are both here, where is Xiao Wei? Is he being taken care of? If it's really a problem, you should go back first. We don't really need you here."
After all, there's a difference between men and women. Li Junsheng and Li Guohua can't help much with Li Chunya's care, except for looking after the children.
We don't need two people!
But Li Guohua had already made arrangements for Xiao Wei.
"Don't worry, Dad. I asked our neighbor's wife to look after Xiao Wei. I'll pick him up when we go back tonight!"
Knowing his grandson was being taken care of, Li Junsheng could finally relax.
After Li Chunya fed the baby in the ward, Ji Xiaocui and Li Xiaoyu helped her clean up. Only then did Li Junsheng and Li Guohua return to the ward.
When they got back, Li Junsheng noticed his youngest daughter seemed quite indignant. She must have heard about Sun Gui's infidelity and was standing up for her sister!
The baby was already sleeping peacefully in the crib, looking very well-behaved. Li Junsheng asked Li Chunya, "Have you thought of a name for the baby?"
Li Chunya shook her head. "Sun Gui and his mother only said that if it's a boy, they want him to bring glory to the family, and if it's a girl, they want to give her away... Dad, can you help name her?"
"Alright, I'll think about it. I'll give the older sisters better names too. We won't be like Sun Gui's family."
"Dad, Chunya just gave birth and is very weak. We should get her something to eat right away. It might be too late to make something at home. Should I buy something?"
Ji Xiaocui suggested buying ready-made food for Li Chunya. Just as Li Junsheng was about to agree, there was a gentle knock on the ward door.
"Uncle Li, I heard Xiaoyu's sister gave birth prematurely. I brought some homemade chicken soup and some food to see how she's doing."
Tang Liang appeared at the ward door, holding a large food container.
Li Junsheng was surprised by Tang Liang's thoughtfulness. He introduced him to Li Chunya and the second couple as Xiaoyu's boyfriend.
Thanks to Tang Liang's ready-made chicken soup and food, Li Junsheng didn't have to go out to buy food for his children!
Li Junsheng tasted Tang Liang's cooking and found it really good. No wonder he could work as a temporary chef at the state-owned textile factory.
Li Junsheng couldn't help thinking that if this young man was reliable, he could put up the money to open a restaurant for his youngest daughter and Tang Liang. He could make his daughter a little boss, just responsible for collecting money, which would be nice!
That way, they wouldn't have to struggle in the textile factory, just for the chance to get a permanent position.
Besides, the textile factory was about to undergo reforms!
Li Guohua and Ji Xiaocui also praised Tang Liang after eating.
The nourishing chicken soup was all given to Li Chunya. After eating, she clearly felt much better and wasn't as weak as before.
Just then, a nurse came in and told Li Junsheng and the others, "The patient's condition is stable. She can be discharged tomorrow and taken home to rest. Make sure she eats well, as that will help her recover faster!"
Hearing this, Li Junsheng was delighted. As long as the third child was stable.
Finishing his bun, Li Junsheng stood up eagerly and said to everyone, "Since Chunya can be discharged tomorrow, I'll go home first to prepare. I'll take Chunya home to take care of her tomorrow!"
Hearing this, Li Xiaoyu looked hesitant.
"Dad, is it right to take my older sister home to sit the month? What about Mom… Have you talked to her?"
Li Xiaoyu knew her mother's character all too well. She was worried that her older sister would have to face her older brother and sister-in-law, as well as her mother.
Li Junsheng understood Li Xiaoyu's concerns and said firmly, "Don't worry. I'll take care of your older sister. I don't need their help, so we don't have to consider them. No matter what, I'll take your older sister home!"
Then he paused and comforted Li Chunya, "This time, no matter what, I'll be there to support you. Don't think about anything, just focus on getting better."
"Thank you, Dad..."
Li Chunya lowered her head, her voice trembling with tears. Her tears fell onto the hospital blanket and were quickly absorbed by the cotton.
Indeed, if it weren't for her father standing up for her and insisting on taking her home, Li Chunya really wouldn't know what to do!
Her two daughters were still young, and she had to take care of a newborn. While she wanted to be independent, she simply didn't have the strength.
After comforting Li Chunya for a few more words, Li Junsheng didn't get too emotional and left the hospital to prepare.
After Li Junsheng left, Li Xiaoyu gently wiped away her sister's tears and said worriedly, "Sister, you know what Mom is like. She might not take care of you during your confinement. Your sister-in-law definitely won't. We can't really have Dad take care of you, can we?"
"That wouldn't be convenient either. How about this? There's not much work at my factory recently. Why don't you come with me? I can help you. Dad gave me some money, and I haven't spent any of it. We can rent a place and live together. I'll move out of the factory dormitory!"
Li Chunya quickly shook her head in refusal. How could she spend her sister's money?
Besides, she knew her sister well. The factory might not have less work. Saying there was less work might just be a kind lie!
Li Chunya didn't want her sister to miss out on a chance to get a permanent position at the state-owned factory just to take care of her.
"No need, Xiaoyu. As long as Dad helps with the baby, I can manage the rest. I'm not that delicate."
"But..."
Li Xiaoyu hesitated, still worried about what her mother and sister-in-law might say to her sister.
If her sister came with her, at least she wouldn't say those things to her sister!
Seeing this, Tang Liang also joined in with Li Xiaoyu to persuade Li Chunya, "Sister, it would be good for you to rent a place with Xiaoyu. I can cook and make you some nourishing soup. I promise you'll recover quickly."
"I... I'll think about it."
Faced with her sister and Tang Liang's kindness, Li Chunya was deeply moved. She felt like she had come back to life, no longer the soulless, lifeless person she had been before!
She silently remembered her sister and Tang Liang's kindness and vowed to repay them when she had the chance.
On the side, Li Guohua quietly pulled his wife out of the ward. After a brief discussion, they went back in and said to Li Chunya, "Chunya, you could also sit the month at our place. Our home is nice too!"
Ji Xiaocui nodded in agreement, "Yes, I can take care of you. Even if not, Xiaoyu can visit you at our place, saving the cost of renting a place."
Ji Xiaocui didn't mind taking care of Li Chunya. As a woman, she felt sorry for Li Chunya's situation!
Besides, if it weren't for her father-in-law Li Junsheng's money, her son's pneumonia wouldn't have been treated in the hospital. She was willing to help her father-in-law.
At first, when they got married a few years ago, she thought the Li family wasn't great and felt sorry for her husband not being loved by his parents.
But Li Junsheng's recent actions had made her forgive the past.
If possible, she wanted the family to get along well.
