Chapter 216: Chapter 217: Taking Care of Postpartum Confinement 4

Her eyes turned red, feeling wronged and angry, she said, "It was only the second day after I had given birth, and they stopped taking care of me. I’ve brought you a healthy, robust grandson to your Chen family, and instead of showing me any appreciation or consideration, I’m totally overlooked!"

Chen Jianye knew she felt aggrieved and played along, saying, "Indeed, my wife, you’ve made the biggest contribution. I’ll scold Xiaobao later. He should not have left you and the baby at home by yourselves while he went out to play."

"What does this have to do with Xiaobao?!"

Li Chunhua choked back her tears and said, "Taking care of women and children is a girl’s job! If anyone’s to blame, it’s that foolish girl and Sanni for not understanding that they should come and look after their mother and brother after I just gave birth!"

As she spoke, she prodded Chen Jianye again, "Go and talk to your mother, ask her to send Guibao over to take care of me during my postpartum confinement period."

In those times, which girl didn’t take care of their younger siblings at home?

When she was less than three years old, she had already been washing diapers for her younger siblings.

She could also use this opportunity to put the little girl through her paces to see if she’ll dare to disrespect her in the future!

Upon hearing her, Chen Jianye gave her a bewildered look and said, "You know as well as I do that Guibao is mother’s favorite. How could she agree to let Guibao serve your confinement needs?! Besides, you should remember that Guibao has already been adopted by our fourth brother; she’s no longer your daughter."

He felt that his wife had been disoriented by the childbirth and still hadn’t come to her senses.

Upon hearing this, Li Chunhua was left speechless. Even though she knew that the chances were slim, was it wrong for her to dream about it?!

She then retreated to her second best option and said, "What about Sanni, then? It’s a daughter’s duty to attend to her mother. Otherwise, what’s the point of me having her?"

Forget about the other girl, she’s not even her daughter.

But Sanni must serve her during her confinement period!

Chen Jianye frowned and said, "But Sanni has to work in the fields."

Sanni was also a valuable labor force for the rice harvest.

Upon hearing this, Li Chunhua broke into tears again, "What am I supposed to do? Everyone’s busy outside and no one cares about me! How can you be so heartless? I just gave birth to your healthy son!"

"We don’t have a choice. Who told you to deliver our baby at such an inopportune time when we’re overwhelmed with fieldwork?"

Chen Jianye felt helpless. "Let Xiaobao take care of you, then. He’s old enough to bring you food and water."

But Li Chunhua furiously argued, "Could I control when I gave birth? Xiaobao is so young, and he’s a boy. You’re willing to let him do labor, but I’m not willing to push him so hard!"

This made Chen Jianye’s head ache, "So what do you want?"

Li Chunhua wiped her tears and said resolutely, "Tell your mother that I can’t take care of Jinbao because of my current condition, and I need an older child to help with diaper changes and all. I’m sure she will agree."

"Alright, I’ll go talk to her. You stop crying."

So Chen Jianye went to find Ma Xiulian, and started cautiously, "Mom, considering that Chunhua just had a baby and she can’t move around in bed, and no one is changing Jinbao’s diaper, could you let Sanni take care of her?"

Upon hearing this, Ma Xiulian’s face dropped, she raised her voice and scolded, "Who’d ever thought that she’d demand such service during her confinement at such a time?! She gave birth to a baby and now she thinks she’s a queen! Doesn’t she have hands? Can’t she change her own baby’s diapers?"
