Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

Once the thought popped into Wang Dashan's mind, he couldn't shake it off.

This kid Zhang Jiajun is truly pitiful, and he genuinely needs assistance.

However, he can't decide this kind of matter alone; he still has to wait for his wife to come back and discuss it.

Just don't know if Du Xiaojuan is willing or not.

Now back to Du Xiaojuan's side.

Du Xiaojuan brought Li Xiulan and arrived at Wang Erhai's home in the county town.

At this time, Zhang Yueran and the newborn infant had already been discharged from the Maternal and Child Health Hospital and returned home, where her mother Ji Xiaolan was helping take care of the postpartum confinement.

Seeing Du Xiaojuan and Li Xiulan come over, Wang Erhai hurriedly greeted them:

"Mom, Eldest Sister-in-law, how come you're here again?"

Du Xiaojuan hurriedly said:

"Erhai, you don't know, Mom is bored out of her mind in Shanggou Village, she's been constantly thinking of you and your wife, as well as your newborn daughter! So she came down to take a look!"

After saying this, Du Xiaojuan turned back and asked Li Xiulan:

"Mom, you say, isn't that right?"

Li Xiulan's face showed a simple smile, and she nodded:

"That's right!"

Then she asked Wang Erhai:

"Erhai, does my precious granddaughter need me to come take care of her?"

Wang Erhai hurriedly said:

"Mom, you just take care of Big Brother's son, this side doesn't need you to help, Yueran said letting her mom help take care is fine!"

Not waiting for Li Xiulan to speak, Du Xiaojuan hurriedly cut in:

"That won't do, Mom is afraid you'll say she favors sons over daughters, afraid you'll say she's biased, you don't know, in order to take good care of your wife and child, she specially went to learn a Maternal and Infant Care Vocational Course not long ago, if you don't let her come help, wouldn't that course have been learned for nothing, wasting money?"

Zhang Yueran heard this and was somewhat surprised:

"Mom, you specially went to learn a course?"

Li Xiulan's old face beamed with a smile:

"I just thought, being idle is being idle anyway, when Dashan and Xiaojuan's son was born, during confinement I didn't help with much, now Erhai and your child is born, during confinement I absolutely can't be of no help again, so I went to learn a bit, I've already learned most of the course, how to soothe a newborn to sleep, how to change diapers, how to feed milk, I've learned it all, also, washing baby bottles, applying body lotion and such, I know all that too!"

Hearing Li Xiulan's words, Zhang Yueran couldn't help being moved, but she really didn't need Li Xiulan to take care of her, even if Li Xiulan were better, ultimately she still can't compare to her own birth mother.

So she said:

"Mom, thank you, you have the heart, please rest assured, I won't blame you, if I truly need you to help in the future, I'll definitely have Erhai tell you, right now having my mom take care of me and the little baby is fine."

Li Xiulan half-believed, half-doubted:

"Really?"

Wang Erhai hurriedly said:

"Really, don't overthink it, truly no need for you to come take care, you just stay home and bring up Big Brother's child!"

Li Xiulan couldn't help asking:

"Erhai, do you dislike me, afraid I'll do everything badly?"

Wang Erhai hurriedly said:

"Mom, what are you thinking, no such thing, how could we possibly dislike you, how about this, when the child gets a bit older and Yueran goes back to work, I'll call you over to help take care of the child together with Yueran's mom! Right now the child is just born, you coming over wouldn't be able to help with much anyway!"

Du Xiaojuan hurriedly said to Li Xiulan:

"Mom, I told you so, Erhai and his wife are both reasonable people, how would they dislike you! Don't overthink it, Erhai is your son, if he needs your help, he won't stand on ceremony with you, he'll say it directly!"

Wang Erhai hurriedly nodded:

"Right right! Standing on ceremony is being an outsider! We're all one family, no need for two sets of words!"

Du Xiaojuan and Li Xiulan ate lunch at Wang Erhai's home, then returned to Shanggou Village.

From start to finish, Du Xiaojuan and Li Xiulan never mentioned the self-driving tour matter.

Because this was what Du Xiaojuan had told Li Xiulan before coming.

This trip, just ask whether she Li Xiulan needs to come help take care of the postpartum confinement, don't mention anything else, if needed then stay, if not needed then later call Wang Erhai and mention the travel matter.

Li Xiulan didn't understand why Du Xiaojuan made her do this, but she felt Du Xiaojuan was a very formidable daughter-in-law, so she still followed Du Xiaojuan's opinion.

And the reason Du Xiaojuan kept silent about the travel matter was to avoid Zhang Yueran and Ji Xiaolan misunderstanding that Li Xiulan didn't want to come help because she wanted to go travel, so she pretentiously came to ask.

Once this "pretentiousness" is determined by the other party, the matter becomes troublesome.

Future mother-in-law and daughter-in-law conflicts will have plenty of fuss.

Although Du Xiaojuan knew Zhang Yueran wasn't that kind of woman, Du Xiaojuan still tried to handle things as smoothly as possible, to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law returned to Shanggou Village, the time was already past three in the afternoon.

Du Xiaojuan had just arrived home when Wang Dujin hurriedly ran over to welcome her, calling "Mama mama" nonstop.

Du Xiaojuan asked first:

"Was Xiao Jin good today?"

Wang Dujin hurriedly said:

"Good, I was so good, I didn't cry, didn't fuss, I played so well with Dad!"

Du Xiaojuan took out a small toy car:

"That's good, this is a reward toy for you!"

"Thank you, Mom! Mom is so nice!"

Wang Dujin took the toy car and went to the courtyard to play.

Du Xiaojuan walked into the living room, saw Wang Dashan, but immediately changed her expression:

"Wang Dashan, I'm telling you, don't take Xiao Jin to other people's houses to play in the future!"

Wang Dashan was still thinking about telling Du Xiaojuan about sponsoring Zhang Jiajun, but never expected that as soon as Du Xiaojuan returned, she would blurt out such a sentence.

"No, what's wrong with taking Xiao Jin to play at someone else's house? Xiao Jin made a friend and played happily, isn't that good?"

Du Xiaojuan, however, said:

"If you were in that villa residential complex in Guangzhou, and you took Xiao Jin to play with other children, I wouldn't have any opinion, but in Shanggou Village, this poor and remote place, that won't do!"

Wang Dashan laughed in anger:

"Aren't you also from the countryside? You have such a big prejudice against the countryside!"

Du Xiaojuan said coldly:

"This isn't prejudice, but telling you a cruel fact. Children left in the countryside nowadays, more or less have some problems. I don't want Xiao Jin to be influenced by them! That Zhang Jiajun, I took a look at him during our WeChat video call. His whole person was dirty, and he had no manners at all, obviously lacking upbringing. You want Xiao Jin to learn bad from him? Don't you know the principle that it takes three years to learn good but three days to learn bad?"

Wang Dashan was extremely depressed:

"You're overreacting a bit. It's just playing together. Which countryside child isn't like this? The three of us brothers were also like this when we were young, and didn't we turn out fine when we grew up?"

Du Xiaojuan, however, said:

"The past is the past, the present is the present! Before, urbanization wasn't that high, and there were many countryside children. Now it's different. Now the countryside doesn't even have a decent primary school! As long as a family has some conditions, which parents would still leave their children in the countryside? To say something unpleasant, children left in the countryside now are all filtered out by society in advance. In the future, they are destined to have no prospects to speak of!"

Du Xiaojuan's words, though very naked and cruel, were also a fact.
