The Good Dad System (Arc 8) Chapter 61.3: After the Daughter Married Into a Wealthy Family (9)
“…You are busy. You should be busy. Such a big company is under your charge, so you have to be busy.” Mother Sheng smiled reluctantly, and it was obvious that she was in a very bad mood. She was not good at hiding herself. She and her husband respected each other, but their relationship was just like that. Even when she was going to have surgery, she said she would go in the afternoon. Anyway, her son and daughter-in-law had already gone, and he would just be a nuisance if he just stood there. If she asked her husband to stay with her in the bed, she was afraid that he would fall asleep before her.
Yes, the family is not short of money and can hire a doctor or a nurse, but this is not what she needs.
“Mom, I’m here.” Pei Daijun leaned over, “I’ll sleep with you tonight. We’ll be admitted to the hospital together and discharged together.”
“Okay, I’m glad you’re here.” Mother Sheng was afraid that her son would worry and affect his work, so she smoothed things over and pretended not to care, “Actually, I can do it alone.” How could she do it? People are particularly vulnerable when they are sick. She still needs to have an eye surgery. Although everyone says it is safe, what if something goes wrong? She still has a fear of hospitals.
“Well, there’s nothing to worry about.” Sheng Junhao nodded. If it was really a major operation, he should go home. But isn’t cataract a very simple minor operation under modern medical conditions? He didn’t understand what his mother was worried about.
Besides, do they have a nursing major? He said that Pei Daijun has thin arms and legs, and she might not even be able to lift his mother up, so how can she take care of others? Instead of letting these half-baked people do the work, they should let professionals do professional things!
There is also the simplest cost theory that Sheng Junhao doesn’t understand. Pei Daijun was also a college student back then, so why didn’t she understand this principle? If they hired a caregiver for a month, even the best one would only cost tens of thousands of yuan, not to mention that it would only be a few days, so a few thousand would be enough. If he and Pei Daijun stayed, wouldn’t the time cost of the two of them be much more expensive than hiring a caregiver?
“…It’s nothing.” Mother Sheng murmured in response, half leaning on Pei Daijun, and said nothing more.
The three of them quickly arrived at the hospital. After a simple checkup, Mother Sheng changed her clothes and entered the hospital’s special VIP ward to wait for the operation to begin. Sheng Junhao did what he said and even went beyond his words. Before the operation began, he received a call and said that a foreign partner was coming to the company temporarily and he had to go to contact them. He left in a hurry. Of course, before leaving, he did not forget to give Mother Sheng a hug and told her not to worry.
“He’s gone?” Mother Sheng was lying on the bed. Even though her son had just said goodbye not long ago, she asked again as if she couldn’t believe it.
“Well, Junhao is busy. You know that, Mom. We all understand him.” Pei Daijun helped tuck in the corners of the quilt and explained gently. She grabbed Mother Sheng’s hand, pressed it gently, and said some soothing words, “The doctor assured me that it won’t hurt, and it will be quick. We will be done with the operation. We won’t be able to see the doctor for a day. At the latest, we can be discharged the day after tomorrow. It’s very simple. Don’t worry, Mom.”
“I’m not afraid.” Mother Sheng said stubbornly. After a while, she spoke again, “Daijun, when are you willing to have a child?” Lying on the hospital bed, she had a lot of things to think about. If she were to die today, the biggest regret would be that she would not be able to see her grandson.
Pei Daijun was stunned, and her hands stopped moving – a good cook cannot cook without rice, and she also wanted to give birth to a child alone? Her husband was busy every day and could not come home for a few days a month, and sometimes it happened to be a day that was inconvenient for her. In addition, her husband was tired and had no energy. In the past few years, he said that he was taking contraceptive measures and that he had no time to raise a child during the development of his career. In the past two years, they had almost no sex life. What could she do?
“We, we’re still working on it.” She continued, caressing gently.
“You should give birth to a child as soon as possible while you are still young. A woman should have a child to complete her life.” Mother Sheng imparted her firm life philosophy and urged her to give birth. “Think about it. If you delay for a few years, you will be older and you will be an elderly mother by then!”
“Yeah, I know everything. Mom, what you said is all for our own good.”
“My words may not sound pleasant to hear, but you have to know that his father and I are old and are just waiting to hold our grandson!”
“Well, I will try my best.” Pei Daijun sighed in her heart, feeling a little confused. She has always been considerate of everyone around her and willing to make concessions. Knowing that her husband has a hard time, she tries to understand him. But since his mother is urging her, she still has to find a time to talk to her husband.
She looked down at her belly, feeling a little lost. She wasn’t someone who had to have a child to carry on the family line, but she liked children and longed to have a child who looked like both her and her husband, but…
Anyway, should she find some time to talk to Junhao? She didn’t know when he would be less busy.

Pei Naochun was lying in front of the counter, posting on Weibo. This was a Weibo account he had registered for about half a month, and he had started posting before he returned to China. Between the lines, he was showing off his daughter, showing off his son-in-law, and showing off the sweet relationship between his daughter and son-in-law.
