Chapter 2043: Self-defeating
While Cambridge in Country Y was busy holding its opening ceremony, Zhou Chunmei was still lying in the Maternity Hospital of Fang County, enduring the smell of disinfectant.
A caesarean section usually lasts six or seven days in the hospital, and most people can be discharged from the hospital within six days. Zhou Chunmei's caesarean section wound recovered slowly, and she was hospitalized until the afternoon of the 10th. The hospital only allowed her to be discharged after the examination showed that there was no problem.
Because the baby suffered a fracture, he continued to stay in the hospital for observation.
When he was discharged from the hospital, Li Yao only took Zhou Chunmei home. Because his grandson was still in the hospital, Li's father and mother did not go back to the city. They were still in the county and had to go to the hospital every day to see the baby.
Zhou Chunmei was in confinement at home and was taken care of by a nanny. Li Yao took a day off and went to Meicun on the 12th to announce the good news.
Jiudao, where he drove, was almost 11 noon when he arrived at Meicun. Many villagers were cooking lunch at home. The library in the village office building was not closed yet, and there were children reading and doing homework.
It was the weekend. Zhou Tianhong and Zhou Tianlan were both at home helping with the shop. Zhou Tianhong bought rice and put it in the rice cooker to cook. When he returned to the main room, he was about to help his younger brother with his homework, and then he saw Li getting out of a car. Yao.
He didn't know Li Yao at first, but out of necessity, he went to see his cousin Zhou Chunmei's space photo album and remembered the faces of Li Yao and the Li family.
Seeing Li Yao coming to Meicun again, Zhou Tianhong didn't care why he came, and immediately ran to the back of the house to call his uncle and grandma to inform him.
Grandma Cao went back to the village in the morning to cook pig food, and then went back to Grandma Zhou's house. She also dragged back two large watermelons, and she and Grandma Zhou gave a watermelon to Le's family.
Cao Bingyue doesn't go to kindergarten on weekends, but also goes to Lejia with her two grandmothers.
In September of the New Year, it was hot at noon and the fields were not busy. Zhou Qiufeng also finished work early and went home to cook. When Granny Cao brought watermelon, she killed the melon, cut a few pieces and ate them.
Grandma Zhou had just eaten half of a piece of watermelon when she received a call from Zhou Tianhong saying that Li Yao was here again. She hung up the phone, hurriedly told Qiufeng the reason, and hurried home.
When Granny Cao heard that the son-in-law of the girl from the Zhou family was back, she stopped staying at the Le family and took Cao Bingyue with her back to the Zhou family.
Grandma Zhou came back, put a chair in the alley inside the gate, and acted as a doorkeeper.
Grandma Cao also moved a small chair to sit opposite her and accompany her.
Li Yao parked the car, picked up the rooster, cigarettes, wine and rice for announcing the good news, and went straight to the Zhou family along the village road. He didn't meet anyone from the Zhou family who knew him along the way, and he arrived at the side of the Lejia Building smoothly. .
The Le family's big wolf dog squatted under the eaves, looking at the village road, but there was no one in sight.
Li Yao did not go to Le's house, but continued walking forward. When he reached the place opposite the Zhou's door, he saw Grandma Zhou sitting by the west wall.
When he saw the old man, he immediately shouted: "Grandma!"
"Don't call me grandma, I have nothing to do with you." When Grandma Zhou saw the man carrying things, she stood up with a sullen face and blocked the door: "Zhou Xialong has already Cut off the father-daughter relationship with Zhou Chunmei. Li Chunmei's affairs have nothing to do with the Zhou family. No matter what you are here for, or where you come from." The Zhou family's grandma
still refused to let her into the Zhou family's house. Li Yao walked to the door and explained the reason for her visit politely: "Grandma, Zhou Chunmei gave birth to a fat boy on the 3rd. She was hospitalized due to a caesarean section. She was discharged yesterday. I'm here to tell you and your father-in-law the good news. Your father-in-law is now your grandfather, and you are now your grandmother." Zhou Chunmei gave birth
? Grandma Zhou was stunned at first, then calmed down: "I told you, Zhou Chunmei has nothing to do with my Zhou family. If you want to announce the good news, go to the Liu family and find the Liu family and Liu Tong. Whether your family has any happy events has nothing to do with my family. Don't run away. You are an eyesore when you come to my house."
"Grandma, it doesn't matter if you are angry or don't forgive Zhou Chunmei. This good news must be repaid. If you don't want to see me, I won't go in. I'll leave my things here." Li Yao did not defend himself and answered nicely. Okay, put down what you brought.
"Wait a minute." Grandma Zhou stopped people: "Bring your things back. If you dare to throw your things away and cause trouble for me, I will strangle the chicken to death, causing your family to have no good luck and be in panic day and night." "
... ..." Li Yao was shocked and stared at Grandma Zhou, unable to believe that Grandma Zhou was so cruel.
It was right for the Zhou family to sever the father-daughter relationship with Zhou Chunmei, and it was understandable not to forgive Zhou Chunmei, but what was wrong with the child Zhou Chunmei gave birth to?
The Zhou family doesn't recognize Zhou Chunmei, and they don't even care about Zhou Chunmei's newly born child!
The chicken that the son-in-law's family sends back to the grandma's house to announce the good news is to be raised until the grandma comes to see the baby. The husband's family will continue to raise the chicken. In rural areas, it is said that the longer the chicken is kept, the healthier and smoother the baby will be.
If something happens to that chicken, it means that the child will be in trouble.
When he came to announce the good news, the Zhou family did not recognize him and Zhou Chunmei. Even if they accepted the good news gift and did not go to the Li family, the Li family recognized him. However, Grandma Zhou said that he would strangle the chicken that brought the good news to death if he did not take the things away. She clearly did not care at all. Is the child Zhou Chunmei gave birth to good?
Li Yao couldn't imagine how much the Zhou family hated Zhou Chunmei, so that Grandma Zhou could say such cruel words.
"Look what I'm doing? The child you have with Zhou Chunmei is your child and has nothing to do with my family. Whether your family is happy or not has nothing to do with my family. How dare you make me unhappy? Why should I care about your family? Life is going well or not."
Grandma Zhou had a dark face and was not soft-hearted at all: "I have long guessed that you will make a fuss about your children. It is indeed the case. You yourself are willing to take advantage of your children. Do you think you and your How kind-hearted and great are the people in my family?
My family said that Zhou Chunmei has nothing to do with the Zhou family, but you still come here again and again. What are your intentions? You know that I know that others also know, so why are you pretending to be a good person? I won’t talk nonsense to you, take it with you
. You bastard, get out of here, you bastard."
After being scolded by Grandma Zhou, Li Yao's anger suddenly faded away. He had an ulterior motive for marrying Zhou Chunmei.
It is also true that their family wanted to use Zhou Chunmei to give birth to a child to achieve their goals, and it is also true that they used the child.
Speaking of which, the Zhou family's disapproval of Zhou Chunmei was also an aboveboard thing. The Li family did things only for themselves and were not as bright as the Zhou family.
Li Yao could no longer say anything to accuse the Zhou family of being cruel and heartless. He picked up the things he had put down and said, "Grandma, I'm going back." He turned around and left.
He didn't dare to gamble and finally got a healthy child. Regardless of whether those customs were true or not, he didn't dare to try. If the good ones didn't work and the bad ones did, wouldn't it mean that he had harmed his own child with his own hands.
Not daring to bet, Li Yao had no choice but to admit defeat, carry his things, and really go back to where he came from.
He returned to the village office building, put his things in the trunk, and drove along the road out of Meicun and back to Zhu County until he was a few miles outside Jiudao Township. He stopped by the roadside and called home to explain the situation.
Father Li and Mother Li were silent when they heard what their son said about the Zhou family's reaction. They didn't expect that the Zhou family was so tough.
What else can be done now?
The Li family could only accept the reality. Father Li and mother Li discussed it and asked their son to go home instead of going to the Liu family to announce the good news.
The Liu family is a snobbery. If they are given face, they might rely on the child born by Zhou Chunmei to come to the Li family. In that case, it is estimated that the Zhou family will never be able to calm down for the rest of their lives.
Li Yao didn't want to talk to the Liu family anymore, so he didn't go to Grandma Zhou Chunmei's house and went directly back to Zhu County.
When he returned home and carried his things, Zhou Chunmei saw it and asked: "You bought so many things, whose house do you want to go to to announce the good news? When you go to Meicun, my baby, my dad, they said anything? When will they come to see the child?"
" When I went to Meicun, I didn’t see my father or grandma... She didn’t let me in, and her things were not confiscated, so she probably won’t come.” Li Yao simplified the process of going to Meicun into a few words. He was not going to tell the specific process, so as not to worry about it. unlucky.
"My grandma won't let you in, and you won't recognize my child?" Zhou Chunmei suddenly felt angry. If she was wrong, her grandma and father would have kicked her out. The child she gave birth to didn't offend her family, right? ?
"Grandma means that you are marrying into the Li family. The child you give birth to has nothing to do with the Zhou family. Grandma is still angry. Let's forget it for now. When the child grows older, she will call her grandma and grandpa and then bring it back to Meicun to the Zhou family. Elders, I think when I see the child is smart and cute, my anger will be gone."
Li Yao felt that the Zhou family's grandma wouldn't let him in, firstly because she was still angry, and secondly, he went to announce the good news without bringing the child with him. If you don't see the child, you will naturally have a hard heart.
If the child can call people and is brought back to Plum Village, and the child calls "Grandpa" or "Grandma", the father-in-law and grandma will surely feel angry and soften their hearts when they look at the lovely little cub.
Zhou Chunmei was angry and gritted her teeth: "If you don't admit it, don't admit it. You can go if you want. I won't go anyway." Just cut off the
relationship. Anyway, she gave birth to a male child, and the child belongs to the Li family. Grandson, her mother is more valuable than her son, and she has a foothold in the Li family.
The doctor said that mothers should not be emotional during the confinement period. Li Yao also wanted Zhou Chunmei to maintain her health and give birth to her second and third children. Naturally, he didn't argue with her and just followed her: "Okay, if you don't want to go back to Meicun, just don't go. You are sitting here Confinement, don't be angry."
Li Yao became good-tempered, and Zhou Chunmei felt much better, and asked again: "Have my mother and grandpa gone to their house? When did they say they would come?" "
I didn't go to Liu's house, Liu The whole family is snobbish, selfish and self-interested. It's already good that I didn't bother them. It's impossible to get the Li family to admit that they are relatives." Li Yao decisively expressed his feelings
for the Liu family. Disgusted: "If you want to treat the Liu family as your relatives, you should think about how much weight you have. If you want to help the Liu family suck my family's blood, don't blame me for turning against you and divorcing you." Before giving birth to a child
, Li Yao also threatened divorce because of his grandma's family affairs and gave birth to a child. Zhou Chunmei is now hard-core and choked back if she is not convinced: "Just leave, who is afraid of whom!" Needless to say, Li Yao is not convinced
. Yao could also guess that the reason for Zhou Chunmei's toughness was because of the child. Zhou Chunmei had a temperament that was soft and afraid of the tough. She was also the type of person who would open up stains if given a color, and would slap her nose and eyes if given a face. She gave birth to a son. , with the momentum of expansion.
That momentum was not a good one, and she had to keep it down. If she thought she could control him with her child, she didn't know how much trouble she would cause in the future.
"This is what you said, you will get divorced after your confinement." Li Yao was not prepared to back down, lest Zhou Chunmei would rely on her children to make trouble in the future to achieve her goals.
"..." Li Yao said divorce without hesitation. Zhou Chunmei was dumbfounded. This... how could this be different from what he imagined?
Li Yao put the things aside, walked to the sofa and sat down, talking eloquently: "It's better to choose a day than to hit it. I've already brought it up. Let's negotiate first, write the contract and sign it, and wait until you finish confinement. Just go to the Civil Affairs Bureau.
My pre-marital property has been notarized, so the pre-marital property is my private property. You have no right to share my pre-marital property. You have no job after marriage, and the household expenses are based on the benefits generated by my pre-marital property. In case of divorce, you will naturally have to bear half of the expenses after our marriage.
From a humanitarian perspective, if the court orders the man to compensate you for the loss of your youth during divorce, it will not exceed 80,000 yuan.
As for the children, you can’t take them away because you don’t have real estate or a job. You don’t have the ability to support your children or provide them with good educational conditions. For the sake of your children’s growth, going to the court for a judgment will only be I was sentenced to custody.
Because the child is not yet one year old, even if I let you take care of it for a year, I will give him a monthly support payment. According to the living standards of Fang County, it will not exceed 4,000 per month.
If you have anything to say, say it as soon as possible. After that, I will go to the street to print out the divorce contract. "
You..." The plan that wanted to stand up and make the decision was backfired. Zhou Chunmei's face turned green with anger. In a rage, she grabbed the ashtray on the table and threw it at Li Yao.
She had just thrown the ashtray away. Li's father and mother, who went to the hospital to see their grandson, pushed open the door and saw the ashtray flying towards Li Yao's face.
Li Yao saw something flying and stretched out his hand to block it, and the crystal ashtray touched it. His arm rolled to the ground and smashed to pieces.
He smashed the ashtray out and turned his head when he heard the door. When Zhou Chunmei saw her father-in-law and mother-in-law, her hands and feet were so scared that she didn't dare to move.
"What are you doing? ? "Mother Li frowned as she opened the door.
Li Yao didn't panic at all. While rubbing his hand that hurt from being hit by the ashtray, he answered: "Mom, Zhou Chunmei is getting divorced.
"What's a good divorce? " "Mother Li's face suddenly darkened.
"Zhou Chunmei only has the Liu family in her heart. She wants my family to raise the Liu family as their ancestors. I don't agree. She wants a divorce. I agree and are negotiating for a divorce. "Li Yao didn't even look at Zhou Chunmei, and explained the reason slowly.
"If that's the case, just leave. "Father Li also understood that Zhou Chunmei probably had uneasy thoughts because she had given birth to a son.
In any case, she had just given birth to a child. Zhou Chunmei thought that her parents-in-law would at least scold Li Yao on the surface. Unexpectedly, her parents-in-law only asked the reason and supported Li Yao's divorce.
She sat dumbfounded, and it took dozens of seconds to react, and she cried anxiously: "I didn't, I didn't make a divorce..." After
Li's mother changed her shoes, she asked politely: "If you don't want a divorce, why would you make a divorce?" What? Do you think that after giving birth to a son, we have to obey you no matter what you want to do?"
Her mother-in-law's words were like a knife, and her thoughts were exposed. Zhou Chunmei didn't dare to breathe, and she was frightened: "I... …I don’t have that idea—”
