It's easy to be born, but difficult to raise a child.

Before Zhang Guiying could speak...

The nurse came again to urge them to pay the hospital fees. "Zhao Chunzhi's family, what's going on? How many times have we asked? You still haven't paid. The account is already in arrears. Pay the fees right now!"

"understood."

Wu Ximei responded, "I'll hand it in right away, what's the rush? It's not like I'm not going to hand it in."

The nurse didn't leave; she just waited at the door.

Wu Ximei winked at Li Yaozong, signaling him to plead poverty to Zhang Guiying.

Li Yaozong pretended not to see it.

If he hadn't hit Zhao Qiuzhi, he could still shamelessly complain about being poor to Zhang Guiying, but now he wouldn't have the nerve to do that.

Seeing that her son wasn't moving, Wu Ximei reached into her pocket, then stomped her foot. "Oh dear, what are we going to do? Chunzhi's stomach is acting up, and we rushed her to the hospital, but I think we forgot to bring the money."

He then looked at Zhang Guiying and Zhao Binghe, waiting for their reaction.

Zhang Guiying sneered.

Once a person is clear-headed, they can really see many things clearly.

For example, Wu Ximei's poor acting skills at this moment.

After arguing with Wu Ximei in his past life, Wu Ximei went back to her hometown.

Li Yaozong was not in charge of the household and had no money on him.

So, in her past life, Zhao Chunzhi's hospital bills were all paid by her. Now that she thinks about it, Wu Ximei clearly didn't want to pay and deliberately picked a fight with her.

How could Zhang Guiying possibly fall for her tricks again in this lifetime?

Seeing that Zhang Guiying ignored her, Wu Ximei awkwardly approached Zhang Guiying and said, "Mother-in-law, could you lend me some money to pay the hospital fees first? I will definitely pay you back after Chunzhi is discharged from the hospital."

Zhang Guiying also admired Wu Ximei's thick skin.

We just had a fight, yet she can pretend nothing happened and ask me for money.

Zhang Guiying coldly refused, "I didn't bring any money."

Wu Ximei immediately said, "Then go home and get it."

Zhang Guiying turned her head and stared intently at Wu Ximei, who felt a little uncomfortable. "Well, what I mean is, your home is in the city, which is closer to the hospital, so it's more convenient for you to go home and get the money."

"If Yaozong and I go back to our hometown, a whole day will pass by. Chunzhi and the child need someone to take care of them in the hospital; they can't be left alone."

Zhang Guiying nodded, "The hospital really can't do without people."

Wu Ximei was overjoyed, "Right, right? Then the hospital fees..."

"How about this?"

Zhang Guiying interrupted her, "Chunzhi's dad and I have just finished get off work and have some time. We'll ride our bikes back to your house to get the money. It's only about 30 li away, and it'll only take three or four hours round trip. It won't interfere with work tomorrow."

"Oh, right, what you just said reminded me. When Zhao Chunzhi gave birth to Da Ni and Er Ni, my family paid for all the hospital fees. You mentioned before that you would pay them back after being discharged, but I guess you're getting old and your mind isn't working properly, so you haven't remembered."

"Since we're going to make the trip anyway, I might as well go to your house with Chunzhi's dad and ask for the hospital fees for Chunzhi's births of Da Ni and Er Ni. After all, our family's money doesn't come from thin air."

Wu Ximei's smile froze on her face.

What's going on with Zhang Guiying? Zhao Chunzhi is her daughter, and her family is wealthy. Why can't they help Zhao Chunzhi with childbirth?

I still remember the accounts from a few years ago.

They call themselves city people, but the richer they are, the stingier they become.

The nurse urged her again.

Wu Ximei was afraid that Zhang Guiying would really go back to her hometown to ask for money. She gritted her teeth in anger, then rummaged in her pocket and slapped her thigh. "Oh dear, look at my memory! I brought money with me, it's in this pocket of my clothes. Mother-in-law, you don't need to go home to get the money, I'll go pay the bill right now."

Zhang Guiying scoffed, her tone dripping with sarcasm.

Li Yaozong blushed deeply; he couldn't bear to watch his mother's acting.

After paying the fee and returning home.

Wu Ximei was furious. Looking at Zhao Chunzhi and the newborn baby, she was furious and deliberately scolded Li Yaozong in front of Zhang Guiying and Zhao Binghe, "I told you to find a big-bottomed girl from the countryside to have children, but you wouldn't listen and insisted on marrying Zhao Chunzhi. Look at you now, the Li family line is about to end with you two."

Li Yaozong glanced at Zhang Guiying with lingering fear. "Mom, please stop talking."

Zhang Guiying wouldn't tolerate it and immediately said, "Giving birth is easy, but raising a child is difficult. What if you give birth to an ill-mannered child who grows up and goes around saying that other people have big butts and are easy to give birth to?"

Wu Ximei didn't react at first.

After going over those words in her mind a few times, she realized that Zhang Guiying was scolding her. Her face immediately turned red with anger. She was not to be outdone. "In our hometown, it's customary to have sons. Zhao Chunzhi must give birth to a son to complete the family."

Zhang Guiying, "Why don't you go hang yourself and make up the character for 'dick'?"

Wu Ximei was determined to outdo Zhang Guiying, and said through gritted teeth, "If Zhao Chunzhi can't give birth to a son, she won't be qualified to be buried in my family's ancestral graveyard after she dies."

"What, does burying your ancestral grave bring you back to life?"

"Pfft!"

Zhao Qiuzhi couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Zhao Binghe also endured a great deal of hardship.

Wu Ximei almost choked on her breath, pointing at Zhang Guiying, her hand trembling again.

Zhang Guiying smiled and said, "Your polio has flared up again? Get it treated promptly, or it'll turn into a serious problem, or you'll be the one ending up in your ancestral grave."

Wu Ximei was breathing rapidly and her eyes were rolling back.

Li Yaozong quickly helped her up and whispered, "Mom, don't say anything."

You can't beat them in a fight, and you can't win an argument with them.

Knowing he's no match for his mother-in-law, why does he have to make himself miserable?

Wu Ximei was furious.

If she can't control Zhang Guiying, can't she control Zhao Chunzhi?

After calming down, Wu Ximei said with a dark face, "I want to go home. Your dad can't even cook, and I'm worried about leaving him alone at home. We also have chickens, ducks, and an old sow at home. The old sow is going to give birth to piglets in the next few days, and I have to stay home and look after her."

Li Yaozong was taken aback. "Mom, what will happen to Chunzhi and the child if you leave? Neither of us knows how to take care of such a young child."

Wu Ximei glanced at Zhang Guiying and said, "Do whatever you want."

He was about to leave when he said that.

Zhang Guiying felt sorry for her daughter.

She refused to believe that Zhang Guiying would neglect Zhao Chunzhi and the children.

"etc!"

Upon hearing Zhang Guiying speak, Wu Ximei felt as triumphant as if she had won a battle.

Humph.

Now you know to give in to her, right?

late.

Just as he was thinking of what harsh words to say to Zhang Guiying, he heard Zhang Guiying say, "I won't stop you from leaving, but before you go, let's settle our score first."

"What account?"

Zhang Guiying took out an account book from her pocket. "This is the money our family has spent on Da Ni and Er Ni since they were born. It's been several years now, so please settle the accounts."

This statement came out.

Everyone was shocked.

Wu Ximei was furious. "Zhang Guiying, what do you mean? Da Ni and Er Ni are your granddaughters! You need money to raise your own daughters' children? Why aren't you greedy?"

Zhang Guiying sneered, "Just because they're my granddaughters doesn't mean they're not yours! Since they were born, have you, their wet nurse, ever changed a single diaper or fed them even once?"

"I'm putting in the effort to help you take care of them, only because they're my granddaughters! I've put in the effort, and you still expect me to pay out of pocket? I don't mention the money, and you all pretend not to hear. You're all shameless."

"I have four of my own children who aren't married yet, why should I pay to raise your kids! You have to pay me back, or I'll send those two kids back to your hometown!"
