The Brilliant Life of a Post-Apocalyptic Female Boss Reborn at 70

Hearing Xin Yi say that, Wu Guihua felt much better, but she still silently shed tears.

"Sister-in-law, you can't cry easily when you're pregnant, otherwise the baby will be a little crybaby. If it's a girl, it's okay, at most she'll be like Lin Daiyu, but if it's a boy, he'll cry all the time, and people will say he's a sissy."

These words resonated with Wu Guihua. "No, I won't cry anymore. I can't hurt my child!"

"Isn't that it? There are so many gossipy people, if you pay attention to every single one of them, how can you live your life? By the way, where did that old hag over there go? Did she cause trouble and then just leave?"

"I have no idea!"

As she spoke, Wu Guihua buried her face in Xin Yi's arms.

Xin Yi had no choice but to look at Zhang Lao Er, "Second Brother, this..."

Zhang Lao Er could only say, "It seems he was called away by the doctor!"

"Hmm? Right, I was wondering, this is the obstetrics and gynecology department, how old is that old woman? Is she here to have her postpartum confinement?"

"Pfft!"

Wu Guihua couldn't help but laugh. "Yiyi, are you trying to make me laugh? That old hag is almost in her grave, how could she possibly have a baby? I heard her daughter-in-law is about to give birth, and she's here to be with her during the delivery!"

"Accompanying her during childbirth? Where did the pregnant woman go? I only saw her sitting on the bed!"

Speaking of this, Wu Guihua's face turned bitter. "They were admitted to the hospital in the morning. This pregnant woman was a pitiful person. She had to run around by herself while carrying a big belly. She went to pay the fees and have the examinations all by herself. After lunch, she had to bring food to this old woman. She spent eight cents and was scolded by the old woman!"

Xin Yi had heard that being a daughter-in-law in this era was not easy. The mother-in-law's words carried immense weight. There's a saying that a daughter-in-law who has endured many years of hardship eventually becomes a mother-in-law. Normally, a mother-in-law should have more empathy for her daughter-in-law, but most people choose to inflict the same suffering they've endured on their daughter-in-law, perhaps just to make up for their past. Sigh, why do women have to make things difficult for each other?

Thinking of this, Xin Yi asked again, "So what's that old hag doing now?"

"Ask him! I was still sleeping when the old hag left!"

Zhang Lao Er had no choice but to continue, saying, "It seems a nurse came and said her daughter-in-law had fallen and asked her to come quickly. She left cursing and swearing, which woke up your sister-in-law!"

"He tripped and fell? That might be a bit dangerous!"

Xin Yi pondered for a moment, wondering if she should go out and see if she could help the pregnant woman.

Thinking of this, Xin Yi helped Wu Guihua lie down. "I'll go outside and find out the details, and see if I can help that pregnant woman!"

Since they were both daughters-in-law, Wu Guihua felt sorry for her and said, "Then you should go and see her. This old hag is really a terrible person!"

As soon as Xin Yi left the room, she heard someone cursing. Following the sound, she found the old hag sitting on the ground, wailing and crying.

"That damned good-for-nothing! He dropped my precious grandson! If anything happens to him, I'll make that good-for-nothing pay with his life! My poor grandson!"

Most people around didn't know the specifics and just watched this old pious woman perform.

But what she said was too awful. Her daughter-in-law was still inside being resuscitated, and she was blocking the door and making a scene. She didn't even know if the delivery room was soundproof. If her daughter-in-law heard this, she probably wouldn't want to live anymore, even if she survived.

Sighing, why am I so nosy? Looking at the old hag spewing profanities, Xin Yi roared, "Old hag, can't you do something good for your grandson? Your daughter-in-law is still in there being resuscitated, and you're cursing her to die? Anyone who doesn't know better would think the person in there is your enemy! Others may not know, but I do. You came to be with your daughter-in-law during her labor, but you've been resting in the room since she was admitted. Your daughter-in-law, heavily pregnant, went to pay the fees and have checkups by herself, and now she's fallen and has to endure your cursing. Are you even human?"

Once Xin Yi said that, everyone around knew what had happened and started pointing and gossiping about the old woman.

The old woman jumped to her feet. "I'm old and my legs aren't very strong. What's wrong with letting her go out and move around? Haven't you heard that moderate exercise helps with childbirth? As for her falling, isn't it her own fault for not being careful while walking? How can you blame me?"

Xin Yi rolled her eyes. "You want a pregnant woman to move around more? If you were with her, she wouldn't have fallen! You say your legs are weak, but you seem quite agile. Just you wait, if anything happens, when your son arrives, let's see how you explain yourself!"

Upon hearing this, the old woman was furious. She plopped down on the ground again. "Listen to this, everyone! This shameless slut is cursing my precious grandson to have an accident! Quickly call the police to arrest her! Let her go to jail and eat peanuts!"

The old woman was about to throw a tantrum when the delivery room door opened and a nurse came out carrying a baby.

"Who is a relative of pregnant woman Li Xiufen? Come and hold the baby!"

The old woman nimbly got up from the ground, patted her pants, and said, "I'm this child's grandmother, quickly give me my precious grandson!"

The nurse glanced at the old woman and handed her the baby, saying, "It's a girl, be gentle!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the old woman felt as if she had swallowed a fly. She paused for a few seconds while still holding the child, then pulled back.

"Isn't he my beloved grandson? How did he become a money-losing burden? I don't want him! Give me back my beloved grandson!"

The nurses weren't going to give her a friendly look. From the moment the pregnant woman entered the delivery room, this old woman had been making a racket outside, and they almost wanted to sew her mouth shut.

"Hurry up and take the baby away! The pregnant woman is still in danger, and I need to go in and help!"

The old woman took two steps back. "I don't want a worthless child! I clearly consulted a master who said this baby would definitely be a boy. How could it be a worthless child? Did you switch my precious grandson? I'm going to report this to the police!"

Xin Yi pushed the old woman away and reached out to take the child from the nurse's arms. "Miss, my sister-in-law is in the same ward as Li Xiufen. I'll look after the child for her for now!"

The nurse glanced over; the child's biological grandmother was also there, so there shouldn't be any problems. "Alright, I'll go in first!"

Xin Yi took the child and looked at her carefully. Although the baby was wrinkled, her features were quite good. She would definitely grow up to be a beauty. However, she wondered if the child could grow up in the hands of this cruel grandmother.

Unexpectedly, the baby started crying shortly after Xin Yi held him. Xin Yi tried to soothe the baby, but the crying didn't stop.

One of the women in labor who was watching came over and said, "This baby must be hungry. Her mother is still being resuscitated, so let me feed her once!"
