Divorced by her husband's family and rejected by her own! She defiantly turned her life around
Chapter 10 Postpartum Confinement
"Big sister, second sister, you're back." Ruyue and Ruxing quickly ran over.
"Were you a good girl at home today? Did you cause any trouble?"
"Big sister, we were very well-behaved, we didn't make any noise, and we even fed the chickens and pigs with third sister."
Liu Ruyun put down her basket. The two sisters couldn't bear to take the oxcart, which cost two coins each, and instead carried more than 10 kilograms of things on their backs and walked all the way back.
Liujia Village is quite far from the town; it takes about an hour and a half to walk there. Liu Ruyun and Liu Ruxue rubbed their reddened shoulders before taking out five pieces of malt candy from their pockets. "One piece for each of you three. This one is for your cousin April, and this one is for Mom."
"Ruyu, did you take the baby to be fed today?"
"The baby has been sleeping and hasn't cried. We haven't gone to feed him yet."
Liu Ruyun's first thought was that the child was sick. Although she had never given birth, she had raised her two twin sisters single-handedly, so she was very experienced in taking care of children.
She walked a few steps to the door and pushed it open. When Liu Siyue saw Liu Ruyun rushing in, she knew that she must be worried about the child. She had heard the voices outside. She smiled slightly at Liu Ruyun and said, "Cousin."
"Where's the child? Let me see him/her!"
"The child is sleeping."
She handed the child to Liu Ruyun, and as soon as the baby was in Liu Ruyun's arms, the little one woke up and started crying loudly. Liu Ruyun carefully examined the child and found that there was nothing wrong with the child. Then she noticed that the child had urinated on her.
"Ruxue, come here and take the baby to breastfeed. I'm going to change my clothes."
"In April, this is your first time being a mother, and you don't know how to take care of a baby. It's not a good thing for a baby to sleep all the time. They don't eat much and get hungry quickly. If the baby keeps crying or sleeping, it may be that something is uncomfortable or that the baby is sick. You must pay attention."
"Okay, cousin."
"Here, have this candy. It's good for your health."
After changing her clothes, Liu Ruyun went to see her mother first. "Mother, how are you feeling? Would you like to go out for a while?"
"No need, have you bought everything?"
"Yes, I bought it. I bought 10 jin of rice, 10 jin of wheat flour, 5 jin of fatty meat, two big bones, and 1 jin of salt. Our family hasn't bought refined grains in a long time. It feels more expensive than before. Today, all of this cost 730 wen."
From now on, if we need to buy meat, let Ruxue go. She can go with her father in the morning, and they can come back in an oxcart.
"Okay, you can arrange it. Since you've already bought everything, cook it for April. Give April two eggs every day."
"Yes, Mother."
Starting today, Liu Siyue officially begins her postpartum confinement. She's not allowed to leave the house, and even in this sweltering heat, she has to wear a headscarf. Going to the toilet requires her to be completely covered up, leaving her smelling of sweat and with greasy, tangled hair. It's driving her crazy! She wants to say she doesn't have to do this, but everyone seems to be doing it for her own good, and she can't bring herself to refuse. This is genuine care from her family. She'll just have to endure it. It's only 30 days, after all. I'll bear it, I'll endure it!
Every day, the sisters would cook and bring the food to her house, feeding her a variety of dishes such as bone broth, pig's trotter soup, chicken soup, and fish soup. To prevent her from getting tired of the food, they would also make some noodles or other snacks for her.
She was too full to eat anymore, but not wanting to waste food, she secretly shared the soup and noodles with her sisters, Ruyue and Ruxing. However, her cousin Ruyun found out and gave her a lecture: "Siyue, I know these things are too greasy, but you are in your postpartum period and your body is severely depleted. You should think about your child, if not yourself."
The baby's eyes haven't opened yet because she's too weak. If you don't eat well and don't produce enough breast milk, she won't grow properly. Once your milk comes in, you won't need to feed her like this every day.
She ate like that for seven or eight days in a row, and they watched her eat it. She ate like that every day, and she actually started producing breast milk.
Liu Siyue felt heartbroken. How could this happen? She was distressed, but everyone else was overjoyed. The child would finally have food.
Aside from breastfeeding her child, she didn't have to worry about anything else. The feeling of breastfeeding was so strange; she had already grown fond of this little guy.
The child is well-fed, doesn't cry or fuss, and is very easy to take care of. She just eats and sleeps all day long, and seems to be turning into a pig. This sweet love is just too much for me to bear.
Every day, besides eating and feeding her child, Liu Siyue explores the space. There is a small plot of land in the space, but she has never planted anything. Oh! How could she forget? The original owner knew how to plant. After she finishes her postpartum confinement, she will try to plant something and see if she can grow anything.
She wanted to take a shower, but there was no shower in the space. She searched the entire supermarket but didn't find anyone. It seemed that this place belonged to her alone. To her surprise, there was a side door next to the supermarket. After going in, she found that it was a place to live, a large open-plan apartment. The interior was nicely decorated and had everything she needed.
Now that's great, she can finally take a shower. She opened the closet and found it empty. She remembered that the supermarket sells pajamas, so she grabbed a set. She didn't need to be too particular and just put it on after showering.
She couldn't help but sigh, the feeling of taking a bath was so comfortable, it felt like a layer of skin had been peeled off, relaxed and comfortable, and she even felt a jolt in her head.
I've finally finished my 30-day postpartum confinement period, and it's wonderful! Perhaps it's the effect of drinking the spiritual spring water, but the huge wound on my head has healed without leaving any scars, and my complexion is much rosier, no longer as pale and bloodless as before.
Because the child drank her milk, it was equivalent to indirectly drinking the spiritual spring water. The child's health improved, the crying became louder, and the eyes opened. Before, the child was slow to open its eyes, and I was quite afraid that the child was blind.
The child's skin has smoothed out and is no longer wrinkled; he looks quite adorable.
Liu Siyue had finished her postpartum confinement and was about to go to the Lu family. She couldn't be in too good a condition, so she put on makeup, making her complexion look dull and yellow, giving her a sickly appearance.
"April, why do you look so pale? Are you feeling unwell?" Liu Ruyun asked.
"I haven't been sleeping well these past few days because I've been thinking about going to the Lu family."
"Don't worry, Dad has already talked to Uncle Youtian and invited the village chief. We've decided on a date to go, so we'll let them know in advance."
"Okay, I understand."
Liu Siyue was thinking about something else. The original owner's biological parents were really too cold-blooded and ruthless. They would do anything for money. If she went to the Lu family to ask for the money first and they found out, she would probably be harassed. According to the concept of people at this time, there are no bad parents in the world. They would only scold her for being unfilial. At that time, not only would she not get any good results, but she would also implicate her second uncle's family.
Having thought this through, she had made up her mind to go to the Liu family's old residence tomorrow and have them write a letter of severance. Having the document in hand would be the safest thing to do. However, the laws of Dasheng stipulate that if children sever ties with their parents, regardless of the reason, the children must pay two taels of silver to their biological parents to compensate them for the pain of pregnancy.
To get the severance document tomorrow, she has to pay two taels of silver first, which she has to borrow from her second uncle. She's penniless right now, and even though there are gold and silver jewelry in the supermarket, she doesn't dare to take them out. If someone asks her where these things came from, she won't be able to explain. And if she gets targeted by those with ulterior motives, that would be bad.
