Chapter 216 - 217: Taking Care of Postpartum Confinement 4
Her eyes turned red, feeling wronged and angry, she said, "It was only the second day after I had given birth, and they stopped taking care of me. I’ve brought you a healthy, robust grandson to your Chen family, and instead of showing me any appreciation or consideration, I’m totally overlooked!"
Chen Jianye knew she felt aggrieved and played along, saying, "Indeed, my wife, you’ve made the biggest contribution. I’ll scold Xiaobao later. He should not have left you and the baby at home by yourselves while he went out to play."
"What does this have to do with Xiaobao?!"
Li Chunhua choked back her tears and said, "Taking care of women and children is a girl’s job! If anyone’s to blame, it’s that foolish girl and Sanni for not understanding that they should come and look after their mother and brother after I just gave birth!"
As she spoke, she prodded Chen Jianye again, "Go and talk to your mother, ask her to send Guibao over to take care of me during my postpartum confinement period."
In those times, which girl didn’t take care of their younger siblings at home?
When she was less than three years old, she had already been washing diapers for her younger siblings.
She could also use this opportunity to put the little girl through her paces to see if she’ll dare to disrespect her in the future!
Upon hearing her, Chen Jianye gave her a bewildered look and said, "You know as well as I do that Guibao is mother’s favorite. How could she agree to let Guibao serve your confinement needs?! Besides, you should remember that Guibao has already been adopted by our fourth brother; she’s no longer your daughter."
He felt that his wife had been disoriented by the childbirth and still hadn’t come to her senses.
Upon hearing this, Li Chunhua was left speechless. Even though she knew that the chances were slim, was it wrong for her to dream about it?!
She then retreated to her second best option and said, "What about Sanni, then? It’s a daughter’s duty to attend to her mother. Otherwise, what’s the point of me having her?"
