The Secret of Second Marriage

I really never imagined that one day it would be my turn to save Xia Weiwei.

My mom glanced at me, and said with some difficulty, "Man, I know this request is unfair to you, but she is, after all, your sister, a piece of my flesh. If I can donate blood, I will do so without hesitation."

But Vivi's blood type is a bit unusual; she has the same rare blood type as you, and Mommy hopes that you...

"Mom, I'll save her."

Without saying a word, I followed the doctor into the delivery room to give Xia Weiwei a blood transfusion.

We are sisters and both are rare pandas. Xia Weiwei had a difficult childbirth, suffered severe bleeding, turned pale, and fell into a coma. After receiving a blood transfusion, her condition stabilized considerably.

She gave birth to a daughter via cesarean section; the baby was small, thin, and wrinkled.

Yang Nan, along with his parents, sister, brother-in-law, and a group of others, finished their meal and played cards at the hotel. It wasn't until four or five in the afternoon that they brought a few boxes of leftover food to visit Xia Weiwei.

Xia Weiwei woke up.

She was pale and her lips were bloodless. She was transferred to the ICU. After I gave her a blood transfusion, the doctor gave her an IV drip, saying that she had suffered severe bleeding after a cesarean section and needed to be observed for 24 hours. She could be transferred to a regular ward after the danger was over.

Xia Weiwei almost lost her life giving birth to this baby.

Her hair was disheveled, she was severely deficient in qi and blood, her face was pale, and she lay on the hospital bed on the verge of death, looking very weak and uncomfortable.

Yang Nan and his mother originally planned for Xia Weiwei to have a natural birth, but from 8 a.m. until 12 p.m., Xia Weiwei was having a difficult labor and couldn't give birth... So they went to a nearby hotel to eat, leaving Xia Weiwei, a pregnant woman, to give birth in the hospital.

It's almost four or five in the afternoon now. They finished their meal, played mahjong at the hotel, and brought the leftovers back to the hospital.

When the mother-in-law saw that Xia Weiwei had given birth to a daughter, her face immediately fell, and she said sarcastically, "I thought you would have a son with your first child, but I didn't expect to have a girl."

It's also because you're unlucky. Take good care of yourself and prepare for a second child!

Xia Weiwei shifted slightly, looking at her husband with a cold gaze, and said, "Where were you when I had a difficult labor and the doctor needed someone to sign for a blood transfusion?"

"Honey, I had to leave for a while... I didn't expect to suddenly have such severe bleeding. If I were here, I would have given you my own blood!"

Yang Nan immediately went up and grabbed Xia Weiwei's hand, putting on the act of a devoted husband.

Seeing this scene made me want to vomit. It's said that women only find out if the man they married is a human or a ghost after they get married and become pregnant.

Xia Weiwei's experience made me feel both sorry for her and angry. When I was pregnant with Tangtang, I was in the same situation and was not valued by my in-laws.

It was a rainy day when I gave birth naturally in the hospital. I was discharged the day after giving birth.

Xue Fan was busy handling projects in other cities and didn't have time to spend with me. He only transferred more than 1 yuan to me and told me to take a taxi home with my daughter myself.

I called a driver, packed all the clothes and baby supplies by myself, and took a taxi home with my baby in my arms.

During my postpartum period, my former mother-in-law was particularly vicious. When I was at my weakest, she directly said that she was too busy to come over because she had to grow peanuts in her hometown. She also said that I had given birth to a daughter, so what was so great about it? They used to take care of their own postpartum period and children.

I am a strong-willed woman.

I don't know how I got through that period. I had to breastfeed every one or two hours, and I couldn't rest day or night. In addition to breastfeeding, I also had to wash clothes, change diapers, cook, and so on...

My finger developed a joint from washing clothes in cold water during my postpartum period, and it still hurts on rainy days.

Thinking of this, I sneered and said, "Then what's the point of you carrying all this leftover food? Who's it for?"

"Sister, you and Mom are here to see Weiwei too."

Yang Nan was stunned for a moment, his face turning a little pale. He had originally planned to save the remaining bone broth, some beef, and vegetables for his wife.

But seeing my mom and me here, she felt a little embarrassed and said, "These leftovers are for my parents' dinner. Weiwei is a new mother now, so she definitely needs to eat something lighter."

"Wait a minute, I'll go buy some porridge to feed Weiwei!"

Porridge?

When I heard about this porridge, I found it even more ridiculous. Xia Weiwei is very weak right now and needs to eat some nutritious and healthy food.

But Yang Nan neither ordered postpartum meals nor wanted to cook for herself; she just wanted to buy a bowl of porridge to make do. I was utterly speechless.

Xia Weiwei actually defended her husband in public, saying, "I don't have much of an appetite right now, I really want to drink some porridge."

"Honey, I'll buy it for you right away!"

Yang Nan immediately went to a dinner shop across the street, bought steamed buns, fried dough sticks, and boxed lunches, and also got a bowl of white porridge.

He came back and fed Xia Weiwei spoonful by spoonful of white porridge.

Yang Nan's mother was busy chatting with his sisters the whole time. When she saw the nurse come over with a thick stack of bills and ask Yang Nan to sign them, she said, "When you came to the hospital, you only paid a little over 6000 yuan for hospitalization. That amount would have been enough for a normal delivery."

But now the patient is bleeding heavily, her vaginal delivery has turned into a C-section, she's had an epidural, and there are all sorts of surgery fees, medication fees, nursing fees, examination fees... The doctor has already printed out all these bills. You don't have enough money. Go to the front desk and deposit at least another 3 yuan!

"What? 3 yuan! Just because she gave birth to a girl doesn't mean she's so precious. Other women can have natural births, but she's so delicate that she has to spend so much money!"

After Yang Nan's mother finished speaking, she complained to the people next to her with snot and tears streaming down her face: "I advised my son not to marry this girl from the city. She's too delicate, can't endure hardship, and can't do heavy work."

"They don't even know how to get pregnant and give birth. Natural childbirth is so much better! It's free, and the baby is smarter. Now look what happened, they spent so much money..."

"Say what you said again! You old hag, I've put up with you for too long! Do you think Weiwei's entire family is dead, so you can bully my girl like this?!"

My mother, a woman with a very good temper, couldn't help but get angry when she heard what Yang Nan's mother said. She rushed over and started arguing. She pointed at Yang Nan's mother and said angrily, "Listen to yourself, are you even speaking human language?"

What do you mean by spending more money? This is my own daughter, and I cherish her myself. Let me tell you, I don't care about a single penny of your Yang family's stinking money. Shut your mouth!

"If your family doesn't want to take care of my daughter, doesn't want to spend money, and doesn't want to spend money on her, then get a divorce! I'll take her home and take good care of her to help her recover!"

Xia Weiwei's eyes also reddened with anger. She said to Yang Nan, "I've put up with you for long enough. Ever since I got pregnant, you've been bullying me non-stop. You say I'm wasting money, that I can't cook or do laundry... and that I don't have a job."

I used to be a pampered young lady, spoiled and pampered. I studied abroad, I'm so beautiful, so many rich guys chased after me... but I chose you, Yang Nan, don't go too far!!!

"Mom, please don't make things worse."

Yang Nan was afraid of losing Xia Weiwei, a rich and beautiful woman from a wealthy family. He immediately defended his wife and confronted his mother: "It's already very difficult for Weiwei to give birth to a daughter for me. She survived by the skin of her teeth. She has just come out of the gates of hell. Her body and mind are at their most vulnerable. Can you please stop making sarcastic remarks?"

If you're free, could you help look after the baby, make formula, change diapers... okay?

"Yang Nan, you've forgotten your mother now that you've married!"

Yang Nan's mother actually got jealous in the hospital room, with tears streaming down her face, and said: "Have you forgotten how hard it was for your mother to raise you all these years?"

The best food and drinks are things Mom doesn't eat herself, but saves for you!

To pay for your university education, your mom and dad borrowed money from the entire village to support your studies.

Mom has done so much for you... and you actually did this in front of so many people for a woman, showing no respect for Mom!

"I don't care, her family is so rich, why shouldn't they pay for the baby's birth? That 3 yuan in medical expenses shouldn't have been paid by our family in the first place, it should have been paid by the Xia family!"

"mom!"

Although Yang Nan said those things about his mother, he was actually complaining in his heart that Xia Weiwei's childbirth expenses were too high, costing tens of thousands of yuan. He knew that his friends' wives only spent a few thousand yuan, at most eight or nine thousand, to give birth.

Xia Weiwei looked at my mother and cried, "Mom, you're finally willing to come see me. I know that my eloping with him and getting a marriage certificate hurt you and Dad."

But now we have a child. Although I don't get along well with his mother, Nan Ge treats me quite well.

"Mom, please help me pay the medical bills, okay? I'm begging you."

"Weiwei, are you telling the truth? You're making your mother pay for all that 3 yuan your in-laws owe you..."

My mother has always been soft-hearted, but at this moment she finally turned cold and said some harsh words.

"Mom, hurry up and pay the bill, otherwise the doctor will come and urge my husband later."

Mom, I don't want to stay at home for postpartum care. My friend told me that postpartum care centers have dedicated nannies to help take care of the baby and the new mother.

Could you please book a high-end postpartum care center for me?

Xia Weiwei has been willful and selfish since childhood. After getting married, she is even more devoted to her husband, especially now that she has a child.

She considered that the child would require a lot of money in the future, so the prenatal check-up fees and the cost of the postpartum care center would add up to about 400,000 to 500,000 yuan.

"Weiwei, your father is right. You are not as kind, sensible, or filial as your sister."

The reason you called Mom today to ask her to come over is because you want her to pay for it, right?

But while you feel sorry for your in-laws, does anyone feel sorry for you?

My mom is a straightforward woman. She truly loves Xia Weiwei, but she was also deeply hurt when she was hurt.

"Mom, stop talking."

I was a little weak and dizzy after the blood transfusion, so I went up to my mother and held her hand, saying, "She chose this path herself, and she has to finish it even if she has to crawl on her knees."
