Chapter 360 - 358 Production 3_1
Giving birth is already painful enough, yet the mother-in-law still had the heart to say such hurtful things, which made Tao Tao cry even harder.
Trembling, she spoke up timidly, "Mom, I’ve saved some money myself. I can use my own money to give birth. We don’t need to use Heng’s..."
Tao Tao thought that once her mother-in-law heard this, she wouldn’t scold her anymore for wasting money by giving birth in a hospital, but to her surprise, it only made her even angrier: "Oh, look at you, you little wretch. You’re already my son Hengzi’s wife, and yet you still distinguish between you and me. Do you actually not see my son as your husband at all?"
Dumbfounded by another round of unfounded accusations, Tao Tao stared with red eyes, shaking her head instinctively, "No, mom, I didn’t..."
As the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law continued their heated exchange, Xia Ningxing’s brows nearly knitted into knots. She glanced at Yu Heng, but he remained silent as if he hadn’t heard any of the yelling.
In fact, whether a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law get along well largely depends on the son.
If the son doesn’t stand up for his wife, then the mother-in-law is definitely going to take advantage of the situation.
Xia Ningxing was fuming as she stomped into the ward with a "clang clang" of her leather shoes:
"Madam, it’s already the year 2000. We’re long past the seventies and eighties where home births were common. Which family nowadays doesn’t give birth in a hospital?"
As she walked in, she spared no mercy in rebuking Mrs. Yu.
"You haven’t encountered death from childbirth at home because you’re ignorant. According to the latest statistics from Star Shine, the mortality rate for home births is 70% for mothers and 50% for infants, with a 30% chance of both mother and child dying."
