FSC [QT] Chapter 143.1

After that heart-to-heart talk, although Mu Wanwan did not give a clear answer, her attitude softened a lot.

After leaving the obstetrics and gynecology department, Mu Wanwan took care of all the payment and medication. She even patiently asked the doctor who dispensed the medication about the dosage of the vitamin calcium tablets and carefully wrote them down on the memo on her mobile phone.

Ah Wu felt that this was a good signal that Wanwan was not such a stubborn and selfish child.

***

“Wanwan, come and drink the bird’s nest stewed in milk.”

In the evening, Mu Wanwan returned home after meeting her former high school friend.

Liu Xiu, who was doing the final cleaning, took out a bowl of chilled bird’s nest soup from the refrigerator.

“Your mother asked me to save this for you. When I was pregnant, I didn’t have such good conditions to eat bird’s nest and fish maw for three meals. I don’t know if the effects of these things are as mysterious as people said, but they are definitely not harmful to the body.”

“Your mother said that she didn’t let you taste these good things when she was pregnant with you. This time when she is pregnant with your brother/sister, she’ll let you experience it again.”

Liu Xiu put the bowl of bird’s nest soup that had been stewed for a long time on the table in front of Mu Wanwan with a smile, and then she did other things.

As for Ah Wu, she has maintained a healthy schedule since she was pregnant with the child in her belly, so she has already returned to her room to rest.

Mu Wanwan ate the bird’s nest stewed in milk that had been chilled for a while.

In fact, she was not unfamiliar with the taste of this tonic.

Ever since the Mu family’s financial situation improved, Mu Feng and Zhuo Wu began to learn from the rich to take nourishing supplements to nourish their bodies.

Things like bird’s nests and fish maw were always available at home, but the frequency of eating these things in normal times was definitely not as frequent as during pregnancy.

In addition, Mu Wanwan was still young. Too much nourishment would not have much effect on the body. Instead, it would cause a burden.

Therefore, Mu Wanwan was not keen on these things.

But it is one thing in normal times, and it’s another thing in this special situation.

Mu Wanwan drank the bird’s nest soup that her mother specially asked Aunt Liu to leave for her.

Suddenly, she felt that this tonic, which originally smelled of egg, seemed to have a different flavor.

“Wanwan, don’t blame Aunt Liu for being nosy. In fact, you should think more from your mother’s perspective. Keeping this child will benefit both her and you.”

Liu Xiu was not a live-in nanny, so after finishing the housework, it was time for her to go home.

There was nothing to clean at home today. After cleaning the kitchen and washing her hands, Liu Xiu took off her apron and prepared to leave work.

But before leaving, she saw Mu Wanwan sitting at the dining table eating bird’s nest soup.

She couldn’t help but say a few more words.

“You are about to graduate. Even if you get married late, you should have your own small family in five or six years. It was okay when your father was here, but now your father is gone and your mother is still so young. How can you let her live alone for the next few decades?”

Seeing that Mu Wanwan seemed about to speak, Liu Xiu quickly interrupted her.

“Aunt Liu knows that you are a filial child. My eldest daughter is also filial. But you have to work. Sometimes you are so busy that you can’t even take care of your own three meals a day. How can we ask you to always think about us, old people?”

“I am better off. I have to worry about the family budget and I have a husband at home to accompany me. But how about your mother being alone in this big house, sitting in the living room every day looking at her mobile phone and thinking about you?”

Liu Xiu asked back. Her questioning made Mu Wanwan speechless.

She wanted to say that she could take more time to accompany her mother, but when she asked herself, could she really do it?

The only child of their generation seemed to have been spoiled to the point of being a little self-centered.

When Mu Wanwan first entered university and was away from her parents for a long time for the first time, she was dazzled by the free and easy life outside.

Her contact with her parents gradually changed from once a day to once every two or three days, and eventually to once a week. Most of her classmates were the same.

Occasionally, when her parents talked too much on the phone out of concern, she would feel that they were controlling her too much and feel annoyed.

This was still during her student years. Mu Wanwan fantasized that after she started working, would she really have more free time to allocate to her mother than when she was a student, especially when she had her own family and children?

Perhaps because of her father’s departure, she would learn to mature and give her mother more care, but after she had a husband and children, her care would inevitably be divided into three parts, and the time left for her mother would always be not enough.

“I can feel that your mother regards the child as a sustenance. In fact, it’s good that way. With this child, she won’t have to think too much.”

“When you can’t take care of her because of study and work, there will be a little baby waiting for her to worry about. Her mind will be drawn to this child, so she won’t have time to think about things that make her sad.”

Liu Xiu had seen Ah Wu’s troubles these days. When she spoke to Mu Wanwan about these things, she also seemed to sympathize with Ah Wu.

“I know, Aunt Liu.”

Mu Wanwan felt that the taste of the bird’s nest soup in her mouth seemed a little bland.

She was still a little sad, but thinking carefully about the conversation with her mother during the day and what Aunt Liu said just now, Mu Wanwan’s reason told her that her mother and Aunt Liu were right and that the child should be kept.
