FSC [QT] Chapter 137.1

“Sister Zhuo, the food is ready. Today, I made your favorite mouth-watering chicken for you.”

In the spacious house, a middle-aged woman in an apron was busy shuttling between the kitchen and the living room.

“Although there are many things to avoid during pregnancy, it is okay to eat some things in moderation. I made the mouth-watering chicken not so spicy today.”

“If you really have no appetite, just eat a few bites of the mouth-watering chicken to relieve your craving. It is better than not being able to eat anything.”

The woman who spoke was an old aunt who had worked in the Mu family for many years.

She looked older than Ah Wu, about forty-five or forty-six years old. In fact, she was only thirty-five this year, four years younger than Ah Wu. So, she usually called Ah Wu as Sister Zhuo.

Every family has troubles. The nanny Liu Xiu’s family had even more troubles, otherwise, she would not look so old at this age.

“There is no overnight hatred between mother and daughter. Now Wanwan doesn’t understand you. When she grows up and becomes a mother herself, she will understand your feelings.”

Liu Xiu said ramblingly.

After working in the Mu family for so many years, the relationship between her and the master’s family had long been more than just an employment relationship.

For Ah Wu and others, she was also half a family member, so Liu Xiu could say some things boldly.

Liu Xiu saw how great a change had befallen the Mu family and felt worried. Seeing that Ah Wu and her daughter were still quarreling and no longer as affectionate as before made her even more worried.

“When I gave birth to my second child, my first child also got mad at me. But now it is my eldest daughter who takes care of my second child the most. She is like a half-mother to him. The second child is also close to his sister. Normally, what I say is not as effective as what his sister says.”

Liu Xiu also has two children.

The eldest daughter just started college this year. Liu Xiu’s eldest daughter had good grades and was admitted to a very good university. Mu Feng and Zhuo Wu even gave her a big red envelope.

However, the second child, who was now in the first grade of junior high school, was not so smart. On weekdays, the couple also heard a lot of complaints about that child.

Liu Xiu’s family was an ordinary family. They had worked hard in Shenzhen over the years and only bought a house in the outer ring three years ago.

Because they had to support their two children to go to school, the burden was very heavy.

Liu Xiu’s husband often worked part-time as a delivery man in addition to his main job.

The same was true for Liu Xiu. She was not the Mu family’s live-in nanny. After getting off work every day, she went to other families to work as an hourly worker.

Perhaps it was because of too much pressure, so she looked much older than her peers.

“In fact, sometimes I regret it. Why did I listen to the old people and fight for a son? If I had only given birth to my eldest daughter, I wouldn’t be so tired now. I could have endured for another four years, and when my eldest daughter graduated and got a job, I would have retired successfully.”

“But now, after supporting one, I have to support another. The man will look down on my daughter if she doesn’t have a dowry when she gets married. No girl will be willing to marry a boy if he doesn’t have a house.”

“Sister Zhuo, when will my life end?”

She was obviously trying to comfort Ah Wu, but as she was speaking, Liu Xiu began to lament her own life.

“It’s fine if I suffer, but it’s also hard on my eldest daughter. She’s a sensible child and never complains to me. But her father and I know in our hearts that she has been wronged since the second child was born.”

Liu Xiu sighed, and suddenly, she realized that the topic was wrong. What she said just now seemed to be against Ah Wu having a second child.

“But having more children at home does add a lot of fun. Besides, Sister Zhuo, your situation is different from my family.”

“My family has no money but we still want to have a son. As a result, none of the children can be satisfied materially.”

“In your situation, let alone one child, even if you have ten, you can still raise them well.”

Most of the childcare problems that ordinary people worry about are not problems in the eyes of rich people.

For example, Zhuo Wu.

Although she is an elderly mother, she has enough money to allow her to receive the best medical care during pregnancy, supplement the best nutrition, and avoid risks as much as possible.

After the child is born, she can live in a confinement center and hire two or three nannies to take care of the child in the morning and evening.

She only needs to play a supporting role and will not be really tired.

In the future, when the child grows up, she will have enough connections and money to provide the best education for the child.

She doesn’t have to worry about things that can be solved with money, such as house and dowry.

On the other hand, when she gave birth to her second child, everything was a mess.

Fortunately, although the family of four is poor now, they are also harmonious and happy. Otherwise, she would really regret her decision to agree to have a second child with her elders.

“When your eldest daughter disagreed with you having a second child, how did you convince her in the end?”
