Chapter 1865: Indifferent, Selfish Demons
In any case, it was like the fact that he had a job made him so amazing that he could look down on her.
If he frickin’ couldn’t support a family, then what was he doing taking a wife and having a child?
The An family only needed a daughter-in-law to carry on their family lineage so Chen Ning wasn’t treated equally, especially since she spent all her time at home ‘doing nothing.’ She relied on An Jinwei to support her.
When An Jinwei saw Ning Shu pointedly staring at him, he asked awkwardly, “Does it still hurt?”
“How could it possibly hurt? She was given painkillers,” An Jinwei’s mother said immediately. “She seriously doesn’t know how to be frugal for the family!”
An Jinwei pursed his lips and said nothing. Moving to the crib, he touched the child’s cheek with his finger. There was a hint of happiness in his eyes.
An Jinwei stayed in the hospital ward for a while. Afterwards, he looked at his watch, then said that he was going to work. He also reminded Ning Shu to rest well.
A heartless man, and a heartless mother-in-law!
This family only consisted of indifferent, selfish demons.
Actually, no, this indifference was only aimed at the daughter-in-law, Chen Ning.
Chen Ning’s existence was only for the purpose of having children, raising them, and satisfying An Jinwei’s physical needs. Apart from that, she didn’t have a life of her own. She didn’t need to have any life of her own.
To outsiders, this marriage seemed quite satisfactory, but only Chen Ning could understand the pain that it brought.
Ning Shu silently chanted the heart-clearing chant. After she had calmed down a little, she began to practice the Unsurpassable Martial Arts. However, this was a modern era where the spiritual energy was sparse. In addition, this was the hospital—a place where sick people gathered and thus there was even less spiritual energy.
Ning Shu had to cultivate for the whole night before she managed to only create a single, weak thread of spiritual energy. Even this was a blessing she acquired only due to her martial arts stat and the Unsurpassable Martial Arts.
There was really too little spiritual energy.
Ning Shu used all her spiritual energy to repair the incision in her belly.
It hurt so much.
She got up slowly to go to the toilet as she didn’t dare exert any force on her belly.
Ning Shu didn’t expect for there to be a day where she would be so weak and frail.
This body was suffering from postpartum depression, tinnitus, and loss of appetite. It could barely even produce milk, but An Jinwei’s mother still made Ning Shu breastfeed.
Milk powder was too expensive and even a little can cost hundreds of yuan. Even if the child couldn’t get enough breastmilk, they wouldn’t get any milk powder.
This situation made Ning Shu want to curse, but there was nothing she could do since she didn’t have a single cent.
She had never been in charge of An Jinwei’s salary and she even had to ask his mother just to buy some veggies.
The socio-economic base determined superstructure. Only with economic independence could one achieve true liberty and dignity.
Ning Shu tried to eat as much as possible every day. However, these meals were bought from the small restaurants outside the hospital, so the hygiene was not guaranteed. Furthermore, the food wasn’t very nutritious and it was very bland.
How could she produce enough milk this way? Then it occurred to her that despite being a virgin, she had to worry about how to breastfeed a child—she felt so embarrassed that she just wanted to find a hole to disappear into.
She really regretted taking this task.
There was so much pain and suffering involved in this. Ning Shu suddenly understood why previous tasktakers had directly killed the family.
After the baby was born, An Jinwei’s father only came one time to take a look at the baby in the hospital. Then he went back to play chess with the other old men in the community.
An Jinwei’s mother wasn’t too happy to look after a little girl. Ning Shu had to hug the child herself as she went to sleep. What happened last time really made Ning Shu realize the callousness and cruelty in this woman’s bones.
