Chapter 345: Chapter 345: The Operation Shocks the Mother for a Whole Year

There were two lines of text on the back, one written by Suizi and one by Yu Jingting.

Suizi’s line read: Buddha was once a mortal, mortals shall be the Buddha in the future.

Translated, it meant: Chen Lijun will one day reach the same level of enlightenment as Suizi.

What Yu Jingting wrote was even more infuriating.

"The wise do not fall into love, an iron pot prefers to stew a goose."

When Chen Lijun finished reading these two sentences, she burst into laughter and felt a bit sad after laughing.

Her adopted daughter has bent her elbow outward at last. Did these two little rabbits discuss her in their words?

She could even imagine Yu Jingting teaching Suizi how to quarrel, and Suizi’s ideas, surely being interpretations of Yu Jingting’s down-to-earth comments made tow sound more like the high-level verses in Buddhist scriptures.

"These two naughty children, sooner or later—" Chen Lijun wanted to say that sooner or later they would get tired of each other just like her. But the words got stuck in her throat.

"Stew the goose in an iron pot... Hmph, Yu Tiegen, dare to be unkind to Suizi, and I will stew you."

If love among adults, one without impurity like a fairy tale, is rare, then she hoped this small probability of a fairy tale would happen to her daughter.

Suizi had a pretty smooth confinement period this month.

Chen Lijun spent ten days here, comforting Suizi who missed her mother, and then Wang Cuihua took over the full responsibility of looking after her.

Although dealing with two babies was tiring, fortunately, Yu Jingting was an all-purpose helper who coaxed the babies and washed their diapers, allowing Suizi to rest assured.

Since they were worried about Suizi suffering from damage due to the hardship she faced during childbirth, they insisted Suizi rest for another half month.

When Suizi gave birth, the weather was warm and she wore a dress. When she finished her month of confinement, the weather was getting rather chilly and she needed trousers.

On the day of her confinement ended, Suizi washed herself thoroughly, especially her hair, which she washed over and over again.

During her confinement time, she tried to explain the science of postpartum recovery to her mother-in-law. But she failed. If Yu Jingting hadn’t sneaked in warm towels for Suizi to clean herself, she suspected that she might have gone stale.

After bathing and feeling refreshed, she pulled on the trousers, and then she found something was wrong.

"Jingting, do you feel there is something wrong with me?" Suizi held up her pants and looked back and forth at herself in the mirror.

Yu Jingting’s eyes fell on the woman’s pert buttocks, even stretched out a paw cupping her buttocks, trying to confirm its firmness.

After being ruthlessly swatted away by Suizi, he reluctantly uttered a sentence.

"You’ve lost some weight."

Even though she was being given nutritious food this month, Suizi did not purposely try to lose weight because she needed to breastfeed, but she had slimmed down considerably.

"No, the trousers are shorter, have they shrunk?"

Yu Jingting followed her gaze and saw indeed that the trousers were shorter.

He put his hand on top of Suizi’s head and exclaimed in surprise.

"You seem to have grown a little taller?"

Suizi’s height originally reached Yu Jingting’s lips. It had now reached his nose.

After taking out a tape measure, they discovered she had grown 3 centimeters taller.

So, that’s why the trousers were shorter.

She’s grown taller after giving birth! Suizi found this extremely surprising.

Most people stop growing after their growth plate closes. However, some women give birth at a relatively young age when their growth plates at the ends of their long bones haven’t fully closed. Combined with a good amount of calcium intake during pregnancy, their height may change slightly.

"Where are the calcium tablets? I will take some more and see if I can grow a bit taller, hahaha." Suizi, looking pleased, stood with her hands on her waist and admired her long legs.

"You can’t even wear your trousers. Let’s make a new one. Or shall I take you shopping for fabric this afternoon?"

Yu Jingting had been idle at home for a month, and he was about to grow moldy from idleness.

"No need. I can manage for a couple of months. Once I lose weight, I’ll have them made together." Suizi felt bothered by Chen Lijun teasing her about her weight.

She restrained herself from losing weight for a long time. Having finished her month of confinement, she finally had an opportunity to get started with her weight loss plan.

She can still take half a month’s maternity leave. Just enough time to adjust her physical condition, and return to work in a new look altogether.

Thinking of work, Suizi couldn’t help but feel a headache.

"When I go back to work, what about breastfeeding the children? It’s not very convenient for me to rush back and forth several times a day, and the conditions for storing pumped milk are not up to standard."

"I’ll pick you up in the tractor."

"What, are you not going to work?"

"Do you think I can go back?"

Yu Jingting’s words made Suizi frown.

After Yu Jingting refused to provide a false testimony for the factory director, an investigation team was sent from the higher level. Yu Jingting reported the fact that he left the team to buy local specialties.

The factory admonished him for dereliction of duty. Yu Jingting couldn’t be bothered to defend himself. He asked for a leave to carry out Suizi’s month of confinement at home.

More than a month had passed, the factory had not contacted Yu Jingting again. When payday came and went, Yu Jingting did not go to get his pay. No one from the factory contacted him, so he assumed his job there was gone.

Wang Cuihua came back, pushing a homemade baby carriage. She had just taken the two babies out in the courtyard to bathe in the sun.

Hearing Suizi and her husband talk about work stuff, Wang Cuihua complained unhappily.

"Yesterday, when I went to the market, I ran into the wife of Tiegen’s coworker. She avoided me from a distance, her eyes full of resentment. Nobody wants to encounter someone who has lost a family member, but it’s not our fault."

Human joys and sorrows do not coexist. It was a great joy for the Yu Family that Yu Jingting had returned safe and sound, but for others, his safe return might seem cruel."

"So, they won’t be satisfied until someone in our family dies as well? Moreover, I heard that two families have teamed up and rushed to the factory to clamor for Tiegen’s firing."

The reason was that he left the team halfway, violating factory rules.

Everyone knows that making such a request is pure troublemaking, a classic case of not wanting others to live well when they are down."

"We shouldn’t be angry with these people. After all, they are the victims and deserve sympathy. But now I suspect that someone is instigating them to redirect their hatred towards us."

Suizi saw through the issue to its essence.

Normally, families affected by an accident would demand justice from the factory. Even though they may envy or even resent the survivors, it wouldn’t rise to the level of hatred.

The current situation must have been inflamed by someone secretly instigating it.

And that instigator was very likely the factory leadership.

They hoped that Yu Jingting would become the scapegoat for these family members. The most effective way was to claim that these people died because of him.

"Jingting, go and find out tomorrow if there are any rumors about you, saying that it was because of your suggestion that they set off at that particular time."

"Didn’t the investigation team already clear that up? It was a natural disaster. Nobody wanted that to happen."

Wang Cuihua didn’t understand why the factory was being so sneaky. It was disgusting.

"The investigation team did clear it up. They also know that they can’t blame Jingting, so they spread rumors behind our backs."

This way, they could divert the mass conflict while also taking revenge on Yu Jingting. After all, he refused to provide a false testimony.

"I can’t understand these tricks played by the city dwellers. How about we return to our hometown?" Wang Cuihua suggested.
