"Zhiheng, where is the child? Let me see."

At 7 p.m., Chunhua was feeding the baby formula, and Xia Zhiheng had just finished washing Su Qingyan's face and hands. Yang Yunxia rushed to the hospital and immediately started looking for the child as soon as she entered.

Yang Yunxia went over to look at the child and asked with a happy expression, "Zhiheng, is it a boy or a girl?"

Xia Zhiheng was disappointed in his mother and didn't say anything. She must know what happened to Qingyan now that she's here, but she didn't ask a single question about Qingyan's health.

Su Qingyan lay on the bed, seemingly lost in thought. Chunhua sensed the awkward atmosphere. The new mother was still in her postpartum confinement period and, not wanting them to start a fight, quickly tried to smooth things over.

"It's a boy, weighing six pounds and four ounces. He's probably eaten a lot, and he's very well-behaved."

Yang Yunxia was visibly delighted to hear it was a boy. Her son and daughter-in-law could only have one child, and she certainly hoped Su Qingyan would give birth to a son.

"Boys and girls are the same, as long as they are safe and healthy. She looks just like Zhiheng, exactly like him when he was little."

Yang Yunxia is, after all, the director of the Education Bureau, so she can say nice things without hesitation.

"Mom, is there anything else? If not, you can go back. We don't need your help here."

Xia Zhiheng wanted to confront his mother, but not now, and not at the hospital, for fear of disturbing Qingyan and the child's rest.

"Qingyan, I know Liyan..."

Hearing Xia Zhiheng say this, Yang Yunxia didn't care whether it would disturb the child and Su Qingyan's rest. She only knew that Yang Liyan had to be released immediately, otherwise her mother would have no one to take care of her tomorrow, and it would also be bad for her reputation.

"Mom, we can talk about it later. You go back first. Qingyan and the baby need to rest."

"Zhiheng, let Mom talk."

Su Qingyan wanted to know what shameless things Yang Yunxia would say for her family.

"Qingyan, Mom knows you've been wronged by this, and I know you're a sensible child. Xiaoyan is only nineteen years old this year; her life has just begun."

I scolded her, and she knows she was wrong. Luckily, you and the child are safe and sound. How about this: I'll have Xiaoyan come over to apologize to you. You can hit her or scold her if you want. Could you write a letter of forgiveness and release her first?

Su Qingyan sneered inwardly. She knew it would be like this. Did Yang Yunxia think that she was easy to bully and manipulate because she didn't have any family backing her up?

"Mom, no way. I'm going to teach Yang Liyan a lesson this time. Don't get involved in this."

"Zhiheng, I'm not asking you, I'm asking Qingyan."

Yang Yunxia stared intently at Su Qingyan. As long as Su Qingyan didn't mind, her son's opinion didn't matter. She was Su Qingyan's mother-in-law, and she couldn't refuse such a humble request.

"Mom, I don't agree. You should pay the price for doing something wrong."

After Su Qingyan finished speaking, she closed her eyes to rest; she didn't want to look at Yang Yunxia.

"You, you."

Yang Yunxia was surprised that Su Qingyan dared to refuse her request; her mother was right. She was too agreeable, which was why Su Qingyan didn't listen to her, her mother-in-law.

"Mom, go away. The child and Qingyan need to sleep."

Chunhua saw that they were talking louder and louder, so she wrapped the baby tightly in the blanket, picked up the sleeping child, and went to the door.

"Qingyan, you and the child are both fine. Xiaoyan is family, why are you being so aggressive?"

"Mom, don't go too far. Get out of here right now."

Xia Zhiheng reached out to pull his mother. He thought only his maternal grandmother and the Yang family were unreasonable; how could his mother have become like this too? Yang Yunxia clung tightly to the bed, refusing to let go, and Xia Zhiheng dared not use too much force.

"I'm not going back, Su Qingyan. I'm your mother-in-law, you have to listen to me."

No matter how much Yang Yunxia made a scene, Su Qingyan kept her eyes closed. She was actually quite heartbroken; the two of them had never even argued since they got married. This time, she and her child almost lost their lives, so how could Yang Yunxia possibly ask her to let Yang Liyan go?

"Really? Then I'm your mother-in-law, so you have to listen to me too?"

Xia Zhiqian helped Grandma Xia into the room. Grandpa Xia watched the children at the door, and with Grandma Xia there, he didn't need to help.

They had originally planned to visit Qingyan and the child at noon after hearing what their grandson said, but Zhiheng told them to come later, saying that his mother would definitely come after she finished get off work and had dinner.

They can let the old couple deal with his mother then. Xia Zhiheng is the son, and Su Qingyan is the daughter-in-law. Yang Yunxia is, after all, an elder, so they can't go too far.

"Mom, what brings you here?"

"If I don't come, my grandson and granddaughter-in-law will be bullied to death by you."

Grandma Xia angrily banged her cane on the ground, and Xia Zhiheng helped Su Qingyan sit up.

"grandmother"

"Xiao Yan, you've suffered so much."

"grandmother"

The elderly couple had always been very kind to Su Qingyan, and Su Qingyan was also very filial. Before she got pregnant, she often went to visit them on Sundays.

"Xiao Yan, you're in your postpartum period, don't cry, it's bad for your eyes. Grandma's here! No one can bully you."

Xia Zhiqian helped Grandma Xia sit on the edge of the bed, and Grandma Xia tenderly wiped away Su Qingyan's tears.

"Mom, I didn't bully Qingyan."

"Yang Yunxia, ​​you've been married into the Xia family for so many years, I haven't made things difficult for you, have I?"

Because her eldest son had died young, she felt guilty towards Yang Yunxia and had advised her to remarry. The two grandsons were being cared for by the elderly couple, and she could come back to visit anytime. However, Yang Yunxia herself refused to remarry, saying she wanted to stay in the Xia family to raise her two sons and take care of the elderly couple in place of Xia Guohua.

Over the years, they have been very grateful to Yang Yunxia and have turned a blind eye to the actions of her maternal family. They even told their eldest grandson that it was not easy for Yang Yunxia to raise the two brothers, and that if his maternal family had any problems, they should help them as much as possible without breaking the law.

Their indulgence only emboldened the Yang family to become increasingly demanding and outrageous. Not long ago, they set their sights on her youngest son's inheritance. Now, they're eyeing her granddaughter-in-law's job. The Yang family doesn't want to work hard; they want everything for nothing.

"No, Mom, you're very good to me."

"I won't say much else, but Yang Liyan's matter must be handled according to the rules. She made a mistake and must be punished. Even if Xiao Yan is willing to forgive her, I cannot agree. My Xia family's great-grandson almost died, and this matter cannot be left like this."

"Mom, I..."

Yang Yunxia also felt sorry for her grandson, but her mother was right; the child was alright after all. The Yang family had raised Yang Liyan for so long, and now that she was finally able to get married and work, what would happen if she had trouble finding a job and getting married because of her past imprisonment?

"Yunxia, ​​I'm getting old and my legs aren't as good. Your dad is getting old too, and he often forgets to add seasonings when he cooks. Starting tomorrow, you can come over after get off work to cook for me and your dad, and stay home to sleep at night."

Grandma Xia's idea was simple: keep Yang Yunxia by her side and watch over her. She didn't want her to go to the Yang family home, lest that old hag Wang Fengxian instigate things.

"Mom, but no one is taking care of my mom."

"Yunxia, ​​Mom won't force you. I just really envy your mom, having two sons and two daughters-in-law by her side, and you, her daughter."

Grandma Xia knew that Yang Yunxia was more responsive to gentle persuasion than force; as long as she played the victim, Yang Yunxia would definitely agree.

"Mom, I'll come over and cook for you after get off work tomorrow."

"Okay, come home with us tonight. Zhiheng, take good care of Xiaoyan."

After thinking it over, Yang Yunxia agreed to her mother-in-law's request. Her mother-in-law was right; her mother had her son and daughter-in-law to take care of her.

"it is good"

When Grandma Xia came in, she glanced at the child briefly at the door. Although she wanted to see the child again, the child was asleep, so she had Chunhua quickly take the child inside to sleep before taking Yang Yunxia and Xia Zhiqian home.

Yang Yunxia waited until 10 p.m. but Yang Yunxia didn't show up, so everyone went to sleep, planning to ask her about Yang Liyan the next day.
