Chapter 205 What is Postpartum Depression?

Chaochao had barely processed the words about someone coveting her father, and before she could even get angry, she heard this next sentence.

She paused for a moment, wondering if these two were up to something bad. Chaochao glanced at Yuanyuan, then, as if remembering something, looked down and tapped her phone watch.

The two people speaking lowered their voices noticeably.

"What do you mean by that? What do you mean by 'change your target'?" The man scoffed. "In Jiangcheng, how many women can compare to the He family, be as good-looking as Young Master He, and be the future heir's partner?"

Even if they do, most of them already have fiancées of similar social standing. Although their families have some money and connections, they can't compare to truly wealthy families.

In other words, Young Master He is unconventional and married a teacher with no social standing or background. He doesn't care about social status; his family is at least richer, more cultured, and more knowledgeable than that woman surnamed Jian. So, once Young Master He divorces, she will naturally have a chance.

"Isn't the Tang family quite good?"

"The Tang family?" The Tang family is indeed quite good. Although they can't compare to the He family, they are still one of the top families in Jiangcheng. "But the Tang family doesn't have any eligible men. The eldest grandson of the Tang family is already married and they even held a 100-day celebration for his child today. The second grandson is a granddaughter, and the third grandson is only nineteen this year. Who can I turn to?"

"So what if he's married? Young Master Tang and his wife's marriage isn't going well either. Why do you think they didn't have a full-month celebration for the baby, but only a 100-day banquet? It's because Young Master Tang's wife has postpartum depression. She's been struggling a lot at home lately and is in a very bad state. That's why she's only now being able to go out in public."

Postpartum depression?

"Yes, I heard that she often argues with Tang Da Shao because of the child. Did you see that just now? Tang Da Shao looked really bad. Even on such a joyous day, he was barely smiling. You can imagine how much he's been suffering lately. Let's add fuel to the fire; who knows, they might get a divorce in a couple of days."

"But..." the person behind hesitated, "If postpartum depression is very serious, what if we add fuel to the fire and something bad happens?"

"What could possibly happen? The eldest daughter-in-law of the Tang family is just being dramatic. She was already being difficult before the marriage. We're just exaggerating the conflict to make it impossible for her and the eldest son of the Tang family to reconcile."

"Then... shall we go now?"

"Let's go, let's go have a chat with the eldest young mistress of the Tang family."

The two men placed their wine glasses on the table, and their footsteps quickly faded into the distance.

Chaochao's little brows were slightly furrowed. She didn't know what postpartum depression was, but she knew that her two naughty older sisters were up to no good.

She quickly crawled out from under the table and ran to the second floor.

Just as he reached the stairs, Jian Yunsang stopped him.

"Chao Chao? What are you doing here?" She looked around and, not seeing Yuan Yuan, asked curiously, "Weren't you with Brother Yuan Yuan? Where is he?"

"Oh right, Brother Yuanyuan is still under the table."

Jian Yunsang, “…” Huh? Under the table?
"Mom, that's not important. Yuan Yuan will be able to access the phone soon. Let's go save people now."

"Save people? Who should we save?"

"Sister-in-law." It seemed to be her sister-in-law. When she came upstairs, she called her sister-in-law along with Yuan Yuan. As Chao Chao spoke, she pulled Jian Yun Sang upstairs. "Mom, there are two bad women who said that sister-in-law has some kind of postpartum dysphoria. They want to add fuel to the fire and make her divorce her brother."

Postpartum depression?
Jian Yunsang's expression changed slightly, and she immediately picked up Chaochao and quickened her pace.

Seeing her mother's pale expression, Chaochao couldn't help but ask, "Mom, what is this postpartum 'easy syndrome'? Is it serious?"

It can actually make people divorce?

Jian Yunsang explained in a low voice, "Postpartum depression, simply put, is also an illness. Many women experience low mood after childbirth due to hormonal changes, but most recover on their own within about two weeks. However, for some, it gets progressively worse, to the point of...suicide?"

Chaochao gasped, "Suicide?"

"Yes, women are already physically weak and emotionally vulnerable after giving birth. If they don't receive proper care and rest, or understanding and support from their husbands and families, coupled with other external pressures, they can easily break down, experience more negative emotions, and eventually become unable to bear it, even wishing they could end their lives."

Jian Yunsang had heard about the Tang family. The eldest daughter-in-law of the Tang family did indeed suffer from postpartum depression. It wasn't that the Tang family didn't let her rest properly or take care of her; it was just that she had a very strong protective mentality towards her baby after giving birth.

She was very tired and couldn't sleep well at night, but she still had to sleep with the baby. The next day, she looked noticeably tired and lacked energy.

She had a postpartum nanny and a babysitter at home, but she was still worried. Even if her husband held the baby in the wrong position, she felt that something would happen to the baby and would rush over to snatch him away.

This creates a vicious cycle, and naturally, the atmosphere in the Tang family is not much better.

The last time Tang Muhan's older brother and sister-in-law argued and threatened divorce, it was somewhat related to this incident. Tang's sister-in-law wanted to take the child away so her daughter-in-law could rest. However, the daughter-in-law thought she was trying to take the child away and make the child less attached to her, so she started making a scene and even threatened to jump off a building.

The eldest brother of the Tang family was very angry, saying that his wife was making a fuss for no reason and insisted on taking the child.

Tang's eldest sister-in-law was naturally unconvinced. She felt that her daughter-in-law was too tired and had developed neurasthenia from not sleeping well. If she didn't get proper rest, she would not only harm herself but also the child.

The couple argued more and more fiercely, and they almost reached the point of divorce.

The Tang family found a psychologist for them, and according to Tang Muhan, it did have some effect. However, the doctor said that this matter needs to be taken slowly and also prescribed some medication.

When Jian Yunsang saw her today, her complexion was still very poor, but she seemed to be in better shape.

Now, judging from what Chaochao is saying, it seems that someone is trying to deliberately provoke her?
What kind of despicable bastards are these, doing such a murderous thing?

Thinking of this, Jian Yunsang quickened her pace.

Chaochao never imagined that depression was such a serious illness. "Mom, were you sick like this when you gave birth to me?"

Jian Yunsang comforted her, "After giving birth, I was indeed depressed for a few days due to hormones. But I had your father by my side, and your maternal grandparents and paternal grandparents taking care of me. I didn't have to feed you at night, change your diapers, or soothe you to sleep. I got a good rest, and my body and mind were relaxed, so I was fine soon."

Moreover, she has experienced a lot since childhood, including her parents' divorce, remarriage, and having children, which has given her a strong ability to self-regulate.

In her entire life, she only failed to adjust herself once.
