Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

Upon hearing that Du Xiaojuan had given him a grandson, Wang Changgen was so excited his whole body trembled.

He was desperate to go see his grandson.

So when Wang Dashan said to wait until next week to bring them down, he immediately refused, insisting he had to go down tomorrow to see his big fat grandson and couldn't wait a moment longer.

If it weren't for the fact that the gifts to bring down weren't ready today, he probably would have driven down today.

"Dad, no rush. Xiao Juan's body is still very weak; she needs to recuperate."

Wang Dashan explained patiently.

However, Wang Changgen wouldn't listen:

"She can recuperate; I'm just seeing my grandson. It doesn't hinder her, so why can't I go?"

Wang Dashan didn't know what to say for a moment, only smiling wryly.

Wang Changgen also said:

"Also, they should have called back when she was giving birth. It's only now, after the birth, that they call. Do they not know what respecting elders means?"

Wang Dashan said:

"But it was late at night, and it wasn't good to have you come down."

Actually, it was just that Du Xiaojuan found it troublesome and didn't want people coming to disturb her.

Wang Changgen, however, said:

"It wouldn't be a C-section, would it?"

Without waiting for Wang Dashan to answer, he said excitedly again:

"I've said it how many times? No C-section, no C-section. Why won't you listen? Do you treat your father's words as wind in your ears?"

Judging from Wang Changgen's reaction and attitude, Du Xiaojuan's decision not to let him come to the hospital during childbirth was incredibly foresighted and absolutely the right choice.

If by any chance there had been a difficult labor, and then this old thing Wang Changgen stubbornly refused a C-section, it might well have resulted in one corpse, two lives.

One can only say that capable people like Du Xiaojuan will directly eliminate problems before they even appear.

Not letting Wang Changgen and Li Xiulan, this father-in-law and mother-in-law, come down to visit too early this time follows the same principle.

Just afraid that if the hosting wasn't perfect, Wang Changgen would have complaints, leading to conflict.

"Dad, please don't get so excited. Xiao Juan had a natural birth, no C-section!"

Wang Dashan broke into a cold sweat inside.

Actually, when she first got pregnant, Du Xiaojuan had considered a C-section.

The Angel Doctor VIP has a privilege outsiders don't know about: you can choose yourself whether to have a C-section or natural birth.

Under current circumstances where hospitals strongly recommend natural birth, this is a very attractive selling point.

It was also one of the important reasons Du Xiaojuan considered opening this VIP.

Many women, in order to still maintain a relatively harmonious sex life with their husbands after giving birth, choose C-section.

Du Xiaojuan initially considered this layer too.

But later, after checking materials, she discovered a C-section isn't as simple as just cutting an opening and taking the child out. The belly has to be opened layer by layer — eight layers in total. After the child is taken out, it has to be sutured back up, equivalent to undergoing a massive surgery!

And C-sections have many unpredictable sequelae: uterine adhesions, for instance; poor suturing might cause various postpartum pains; it might leave a long scar; and so on.

So after weighing the pros and cons, Du Xiaojuan ultimately decided on natural birth.

Natural birth, as long as there's no episiotomy and no tearing, does the least harm to the body.

And Du Xiaojuan, through a series of prenatal interventions and training, indeed achieved no episiotomy and no tearing, and gave birth smoothly.

"Natural birth, ah. Natural birth is good!"

Hearing Wang Dashan say it was natural birth, Wang Changgen finally let out a breath of relief. In his view, C-section is very bad for the child, and children born that way might not be very smart. Who knows where he got that information.

But he still wasn't reassured:

"You're not lying to me, are you? Having a baby is such a big thing, and you didn't tell us. Are you hiding something from me?"

Wang Dashan didn't know whether to cry or laugh. He felt explaining was really exhausting.

But he still explained patiently:

"Dad, what are you thinking? It's purely because we didn't want to trouble you. If you and Mom had come when Xiao Juan was giving birth, I'd have to take care of Xiao Juan and take care you two as well. How exhausting and troublesome would that be? Xiao Juan didn't want me too tired, so she said to wait until she recovered a bit, then let you come down to see the baby!"

Wang Dashan sighed:

"The baby's born, it's not going to run away. Early or late, isn't it the same? Why insist on coming now?"

Wang Changgen said coldly:

"You don't know shit! Anyway, I'm going down tomorrow! I can't wait!"

That's just how Wang Changgen is — a stubborn donkey. Once he sets his mind on something, others can hardly change it.

And this personality of his leads to a result: his three sons discuss things with him less and less.

Take Wang Xiaohua, for example — years ago he almost stopped discussing things with him entirely.

No matter what, he decides himself.

Because discussing with such a father yields no useful advice.

Instead, due to the old father's lack of culture and shortsightedness, he creates all kinds of obstacles for himself.

So, children from poor families, especially those in families where parents lack foresight yet are extremely stubborn — on major life events, forget counting on parents to lift you up; not dragging you down is already not bad!

Not discussing big things with parents, solving small things yourself — that's actually the best choice.

Wang Xiaohua had long ago realized this point.

Wang Dashan clearly had not realized it.

Du Xiaojuan had also overestimated the extent to which Wang Zhanggen could be reasoned with.

They should only mention this matter when it is time for them to come down, not a week in advance.

Rather than saying it a week early.

"Dad, how about you come next week instead? Xiao Juan's body is still very weak, she needs to recuperate! Even if you and Mom come down, you won't be able to take care of her much!"

Wang Zhanggen, however, said:

"Who says we can't take care of her? Your mom gave birth to you three brothers, she has plenty of experience raising kids!"

Wang Dashan then said:

"We've hired a confinement nanny here, no need for Mom to come down and help."

Wang Zhanggen, however, said:

"How can a confinement nanny be relied on? What if she ruins my grandson?"

Wang Zhanggen also said:

"Does that confinement nanny know how to cook rice paste? Does she know how to hold the baby out to pee? Does she know how to make the baby sleep with a flat head?"

Hearing these words, Wang Dashan felt the sky was about to collapse.

"Dad, the child was just born not long ago, it's not time for baby food yet, and there's no need to hold him out to pee, there are diapers. As for sleeping with a flat head, why does he need to sleep with a flat head? Isn't sleeping with a round head fine?"

Wang Zhanggen, however, said:

"You don't know shit. Only by sleeping with a flat back of the head will he be material for becoming an official later!"

Wang Dashan muttered a sentence:

"Third Brother's head wasn't slept flat either, his head is round and round, does that mean he isn't material for becoming an official?"

Wang Zhanggen, furious:

"Look at him, he doesn't put me in his eyes at all, it's precisely because when he was little the piece of rebellious bone on the back of his head wasn't slept flat!"

Wang Dashan felt his heart was so tired:

"Dad, what kind of crooked logic is this?"

Wang Zhanggen, however, stated it firmly:

"How is it crooked logic? What I'm saying are all facts! That brat angered me into a cerebral hemorrhage and hospitalization, you don't know that? You don't want your own son to grow up and not put you in his eyes either, do you!"
