Reborn as a Superpower Girl in the 80s-Chapter 724: Want to Split the Family

The man from that family seemed a bit embarrassed as he said, "Auntie, don’t listen to her, my mom will definitely come over soon. I’m really sorry." freeweɓnovel~cѳm

Song Shiya did feel sympathy for the child, who was crying ’ao, ao’ with hunger, but they weren’t a charity. They’d already given milk twice that morning, each time two spoonfuls of milk powder. Why did it seem like they were the only ones being targeted when there were two other families in the ward?

As strangers, they’d already been helpful enough, yet this woman was still so impolite. Now, Luo Qiao’s own daughter hadn’t even started lactating yet, and she had twin grandchildren, a boy and a girl, who also needed to be fed.

Besides, you shouldn’t spoil people. Otherwise, why didn’t she ask one of the other two families? Wasn’t it just because they seemed easier to talk to?

Luo Qiao handed two bags of milk powder to her cousin’s husband, Zheng Zhiyuan, "Brother-in-law, please put away these two bags of milk powder. I bought them just in case Sister Jialin’s milk comes in late, and I don’t want my nephew and niece to go hungry."

The other postpartum women in the same ward were all green with envy. That woman was so lucky, having had food delivered by her in-laws that morning, with her mother-in-law there to make sure she ate before leaving only after her own mother arrived.

They had sent food early in the afternoon again, and now even her own cousin was worrying about late lactation and had brought milk powder over. But when they remembered she’d had twins, a boy and a girl, the jealousy subsided, leaving only envy.

Seeing that she hadn’t managed to get any milk powder this time, the complexion of the woman in the next bed turned even uglier, cursing the child, "Cry, cry, cry, all you know is to cry. You don’t have their good fortune; what’s the use of crying?"

The old lady by the door couldn’t stand it any longer, came over, and said to the man trying to soothe the baby, "Here, hand the child over to me, I’ll calm them down for you. You should quickly check whether the food is ready at home. If not, buy something for your wife to have a bite first."

"If she doesn’t eat, where will the milk come from to feed the child? If the baby keeps crying like this, it might cry itself sick, and then it will be you who suffers."

The old lady’s daughter had already eaten, and now with the child fed and sleeping, and her son-in-law attending to her daughter, she came over to help out.

The man was full of gratitude, "Thank you so much. I’ll go right away."

No sooner had the man left the ward than another family also brought food in. Now three out of the four postpartum women had eaten, leaving the woman in the next bed feeling even more embarrassed.

The old lady had her son-in-law pour some warm water, then fed the child a few spoonfuls with a spoon. Perhaps temporarily satiated, the child finally stopped crying and, after being soothed for a bit longer, fell asleep.

Only then did the old lady put the baby back beside its mother, warning her, "My dear, be careful not to roll onto the baby."

This time the woman in the next bed refrained from saying anything unpleasant, even offering her thanks, "Thank you, Auntie, I was so panicked. You’ve been a big help."

The old lady merely smiled, "Being a new mother and not understanding many things is normal. Once you’re discharged and back home, ask the older folks for advice, and you’ll slowly gain experience."

After doing all this, she returned to her daughter’s side, who had already eaten and said with a smile, "Mom, you’re amazing."

The old lady replied, "It’s because the baby is still young and can be fooled with a little water. Try it when they’re older; kids are sharp."

Luo Qiao thought to herself that there was indeed truth to the saying ’old ginger is hotter’ and then she smiled kindly at the old lady and gave her a thumbs up—there were still good people around.

The old lady nodded back at Luo Qiao with a smile. Firstly, she felt sorry for the child, secondly, she didn’t want her daughter’s mood spoiled, and thirdly, she didn’t want her little granddaughter to be woken up by the noise. That’s why she had helped out. Young people definitely needed guidance from the older generation, as they lacked experience.

Seeing her cousin’s husband going out to wash the dishes, and noticing that her cousin showed no sign of exhaustion, Luo Qiao quietly approached and said in a low voice, "Sister Jialin, we are all going to my third brother’s house tonight to warm his new home and also discuss your situation. What exactly happened yesterday?"

Luo Jialin’s previously smiling face turned solemn, "Qiaoqiao, tell grandma I want to take this opportunity to divide the family. I don’t want to live with them anymore. Once we divide, if we really can’t manage, we can initially go back to live with grandma for a while.

If my husband and I can get a place from our work units, that would be best. If not, we’ll rent somewhere to live. But I just don’t want to go back to the Textile Factory Family Courtyard."
