Born in the 1980s, she was remarried and became a stepmother; a cold, rough man doted on her, pinchi

Chapter 110 Be careful, or I'll make everyone know about my shameful deeds!

Jiang He lay weakly on the bed, looking at her crying daughter beside her, feeling utterly exhausted and helpless.

Having just given birth, her body was still recovering, and no one was there to take care of her.

She picked up her phone, hesitated for a long time, and then dialed Lin Yanqing's number.

"Hey?"

Lin Yanqing's voice came from the other end of the phone, tinged with impatience.

Jiang He took a deep breath and tried to make her voice sound stronger: "Lin Yanqing, I have no one to take care of me during my postpartum period. Your parents must come and take care of the baby."

Lin Yanqing sneered: "Jiang He, don't be unreasonable. My parents have their own lives too. They don't have time to take care of you and the child."

Jiang He gritted her teeth and said angrily, "Lin Yanqing, don't push me. If they don't come to take care of the child, I will make sure everyone knows about your shameful affair with Lin Yao. Then let's see how you'll live your lives in university!"

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, then Lin Yanqing's voice rang out again, tinged with a hint of threat: "Jiang He, you dare! If you dare to make a scene, it won't do you any good."
He said without fear, "What do I have to be afraid of? I can't even guarantee my basic livelihood right now, what am I afraid of? You figure it out yourself!"

Lin Yanqing scratched his head in frustration on the other end of the phone. He knew that Jiang He was really pushed to the limit this time.

If she really makes a scene, he and Lin Yao will definitely become the target of everyone's criticism at school.

Left with no other option, he said, "Fine, I'll have my parents come over. But you'd better not do anything reckless."

After hanging up the phone, Jiang He couldn't hold back her tears. She didn't know how she had come to this point; the man she once loved so deeply was now so indifferent.

The next day, Lin's parents arrived at Jiang He's residence.

As soon as Lin's mother entered the room, she looked at everything in the room with disgust: "Why is this place so messy? Why don't you tidy it up?"

Jiang He said weakly, "Mom, I just gave birth and I really don't have the strength to clean up."

Lin's father snorted coldly: "Give birth to a child and you're so fussy? Back in our day, we were back to work in the fields the day after giving birth."

Jiang He felt a pang of grievance, but she forced herself to say, "Dad, times have changed. Now everyone is talking about scientific postpartum care."

Mr. Lin waved his hand impatiently: "Alright, alright, stop talking to me about this. I have to work, leaving your mother here alone. Don't go too far."

After saying that, Mr. Lin turned and left. Mrs. Lin sat on the sofa, looking at Jiang He and the child, without a trace of a smile on her face.

Jiang He said cautiously, "Mom, could you please help take care of the child and me? I really need your help."

Lin's mother rolled her eyes at her: "I don't know how to take care of children, you'll have to figure it out yourself."

Jiang He was stunned; she hadn't expected Lin's mother to be so heartless.

"Mom, how could you do this? This is your own granddaughter!"

Lin's mother said disdainfully, "What use is a granddaughter? She can't carry on the family line. We wouldn't have come if you hadn't threatened Yan Qing."

Jiang He trembled with anger: "Mom, what kind of feudal thinking is this? Why can't girls carry on the family line? What era are we living in?" Lin's mother stood up, pointed at Jiang He's nose and said: "Don't talk back to me! I've eaten more salt than you've eaten rice. If you're not satisfied, then take care of the child yourself, don't expect us to."

Jiang He looked at Lin's mother, tears welling up in her eyes: "Mom, I know you have a problem with me, but the child is innocent. Can't you help me for the sake of the child?"

Lin's mother sat back on the sofa and said reluctantly, "Fine, for the sake of the child, I'll help you for a few days. But don't push your luck."

In the days that followed, although Lin's mother stayed with Jiang He, she remained cold towards her and the child. When Jiang He asked her to help take care of the child, she always gave perfunctory replies.

The baby was crying loudly from hunger. Jiang He was cooking, so she asked Lin's mother to help make some formula. Lin's mother said impatiently, "I don't know how to make formula, you do it yourself."

Helpless, Jiang He had no choice but to put down her work and go make formula for the baby. As she made the formula, she said, "Mom, can't you learn how to take care of the baby? You can help me if I get busy in the future."

Lin's mother sat to the side watching TV, saying without turning her head, "Why would I learn that stuff? I'm not a nanny."

Jiang He felt a surge of anger, but she held back. She knew that arguing with Lin's mother wouldn't solve anything.

That evening, while Jiang He was breastfeeding her child, Lin's mother grumbled beside her, "What's the use of having a girl? It's a waste of food. If it were a boy, I could take better care of him."

Jiang He couldn't hold back any longer and said, "Mom, can you please stop saying that? What's wrong with girls? I will definitely raise her to be an outstanding person."

Lin's mother snorted: "You? What kind of person can you raise her into? Don't let her grow up to be a good-for-nothing who brings you nothing but trouble."

Jiang He stood up angrily, pointing at Lin's mother and saying, "Mom, you've gone too far! I respect you as an elder and have tolerated you all this time. But you can't insult my child like this. If you continue like this, I won't be polite!"

Lin's mother was startled by Jiang He's imposing manner; she hadn't expected the usually docile Jiang He to suddenly lose her temper. She stood up as well and said loudly, "You dare to lose your temper with me? If it weren't for Yan Qing, I would have left long ago."

Just as the two were arguing fiercely, Lin Yanqing suddenly returned.

He noticed the awkward atmosphere in the room and asked, "What are you arguing about?"

When Lin's mother saw Lin Yanqing, she immediately put on a wronged look: "Yanqing, look at your wife. She actually talked back to me and even wanted to kick me out."

Jiang He said angrily, "Lin Yanqing, ask your mother what she said? She has been insulting my child, and I can't stand it anymore."

Lin Yanqing frowned and said to her mother, "Mom, don't go too far. Jiang He just gave birth; can't you be more understanding of her?"

Lin's mother was surprised that Lin Yanqing would speak up for Jiang He. She said angrily, "Yanqing, why are you siding with outsiders? I'm your mother!"

Lin Yanqing said helplessly, "Mom, I know you're my mother, but you can't treat Jiang He and the child like this. Jiang He is already working so hard taking care of the child alone, can't you help her?"

Lin's mother snorted and sat on the sofa without saying a word.

Lin Yanqing walked to Jiang He's side and said softly, "Jiang He, don't be angry. I'll talk to my mom. You take care of the child first."

Jiang He looked at Lin Yanqing, her eyes filled with disappointment: "Lin Yanqing, do you know how hard I've been these past few days? Your mother treats me and the child like this, can't you do anything about it?"

Lin Yanqing sighed: "I know it's my fault. But that's just how my mother is, don't take it to heart. I'll figure out a solution after you finish your postpartum confinement."

Jiang He shook her head: "Lin Yanqing, I'm really disappointed in you. I thought you would stand by my side, but I didn't expect you to still favor your mother."
