"Congratulations, they've got a boy and a girl in one pregnancy." Liu Shichu said with a smile, "Cui Ying's grandmother must be very happy, right?"
"I'm not so happy, but I am terrified. You don't know how scary it was when the new lady gave birth. My grandmother went to the delivery room and fainted. She had to take tranquilizers afterwards."
Wen Rumin said with a complicated expression that although she had long known that Cui's mother could not take on any major responsibilities, she was so scared that she fainted when her daughter-in-law gave birth this time. Not only was she unable to take care of the mother, she even hindered her efforts and needed others to take care of her. This was too outrageous.
"Pfft..." Liu Shichu couldn't help laughing after hearing what Wen Rumin said, and said, "She has given birth to a child herself. I and other concubines in the Cui Mansion have also given birth to almost ten. How could she be frightened to death? This is too exaggerated."
Seeing the smile on her face that she couldn't stop, Wen Rumin couldn't help but smile too, and said:
"Maybe it's because the new lady screamed too much? Besides, everyone else gave birth to one child, but the new lady gave birth to three. It's different... Besides, didn't you look after the other concubines when they gave birth? Grandmother doesn't have to worry about it."
"It seems like she has to experience more." In the past, Cui's mother lived too comfortably. Liu Shichu took care of everything at home, and she didn't have to worry about anything. She lived a worry-free life for decades. This time, she couldn't stand it when her daughter-in-law had a miserable birth.
Liu Shichu thought that if Cui's mother experienced more in the future, her ability to bear would become stronger. With Cui Anhua's love for Jiang Wenyue, there would be more children born in the Cui family in the future. By then, Cui's mother would be able to experience more and would not faint from fear again.
Giving birth is always a near-death experience for women, let alone giving birth to twins. Even if the delivery is not difficult, it can cost half of her life.
Liu Shichu had no sympathy for Jiang Wenyue's situation. She must be punished for stealing someone else's husband.
Liu Shichu despised Cui Anhua and was willing to divorce him, but the original owner was not like that. She was just a traditional woman who kept a home for her husband, managed household affairs, served her parents-in-law, and raised children... Even though she had no feelings for her husband, she had never thought of divorcing him. Therefore, when Cui Anhua decided to abandon her and marry another woman, she felt desperate and unwilling in her heart.
In the original story, the original owner was unwilling to divorce Cui Anhua, so Cui Anhua used threats and inducements on her, used cold violence against her, and humiliated and attacked her, saying that she was greedy for power and money, had a tough personality, and had no femininity at all.
The original owner was disheartened, but for the sake of her son, she still refused to divorce and dragged it out. However, Cui Anhua was anxious to reunite with his true love, and seeing that the original owner refused to give up, he decided to go all out and insisted on marrying Jiang Wenyue as his second wife.
After Jiang Wenyue came in, the original owner became a decoration. Cui Anhua did not give her any face at all and even took away the housekeeper's power and gave it to Jiang Wenyue.
Although the original owner was capable at that time, she had been taught since childhood to put her husband first. She was abandoned, despised, and treated coldly by her husband. She even lost her right to be a housekeeper. Cui Anhua and Jiang Wenyue showed their affection every day to irritate her, and she was so angry that she became sick. She soon became a cannon fodder in other people's true love and died early.
It was precisely because he knew the fate of the original owner that after Shi Chu became the original owner, he wanted to make life difficult for Cui Anhua and Jiang Wenyue as well.
An ordinary woman would suffer from sequelae after giving birth to a child, which might even be incurable for life, let alone the fact that Jiang Wenyue gave birth to triplets
So stretch marks are inevitable due to the belly being bulged out, and sequelae such as abdominal muscle separation, pubic separation, uterine prolapse, and urinary incontinence are one after another. Jiang Wenyue has suffered a lot, but I don't know if she will be happy with it and feel that giving birth to a child for Cui Anhua is a blessing accumulated for several lifetimes.
"Fortunately, Jinrong doesn't have twin brothers or sisters." Wen Rumin said with lingering fear, "The new wife's vitality has been greatly damaged. The doctor said that she was weak to begin with, and now she has given birth to three children. It's even worse. She has to stay in bed for several months. It will take two or three years to fully recuperate her body."
"So, more is not necessarily a good thing." Liu Shichu said calmly, "Fortunately, I asked Cui Anhua to divide the family first, otherwise Cui Ying's share would have shrunk several times. With Cui Anhua's love for Jiang Wenyue, he would definitely favor her child. If the family hadn't been divided, Cui Ying might not have gotten anything at all."
Wen Rumin didn't expect Liu Shichu to talk about this, but she was relieved after hearing it: "Mom, you are still foresighted." Wen Rumin is not a naive girl who thinks that money is something outside of one's body and does not care how much money one has. In fact, she cares a lot, so she is very grateful to Liu Shichu for being prepared.
At this time, the concubines of the Cui family who were gathered together to chat also talked about the triplets born to the new wife.
"The new wife is so lucky. She was able to give birth to three children in one pregnancy, two of whom are sons." Aunt Zhou's tone was extremely sour.
"How can this be considered a good life? She is not afraid of three lives for one corpse! But she is really lucky. She was able to give birth to three children successfully, and both mother and children are safe. I wonder how many incense sticks she burned?" Aunt Chen was also a little jealous.
"What's the point of having several children? The family property has been divided long ago. It won't affect us no matter how many children the new wife has." Madam Wen said indifferently.
The other concubines suddenly realized: "That's right! Our children have already received what they are supposed to get. The new wife's children will only get the share left by the master. What does it have to do with us?"
"The former madam was so wise that she let us separate the family property early on... Fortunately, I listened to her and separated the family property, otherwise I would have a headache now." Aunt Chen said thankfully.
"Yes, yes, we have to thank the ex-wife. She must have thought long ago that the master would have children after remarrying. She really thought three steps ahead... She is living a happy life after the divorce, and she is even more comfortable without the burden of our family." Madam Wen envied Liu Shichu very much.
The concubines all started praising Liu Shichu again. If Liu Shichu knew that after the divorce, those concubines were truly grateful to her, she would definitely be in tears and amused.
"Speaking of which, the new lady's three children are very weak. We don't know if we can raise them." Aunt Liu suddenly said.
"Then we must stay away from her. Otherwise, if something happens to her child, what should we do if the new lady blames us?" Aunt Chen immediately became alert.
"Who would go to see her for no reason? Do you think her life is too peaceful? We have to stay away from the affairs of the main wife to avoid suspicion." Aunt Zhou rolled her eyes and said.
They have no good influence on the new lady. This time she injured her body during childbirth, and not only did they gloat over her misfortune, but they also did not take the initiative to help her.
I just don’t know if Cui’s mother can be relied upon. After all, her daughter-in-law needs to take care of her health, and the three children need to be looked after everywhere. Even if there are servants, it is impossible for Cui’s mother to not care at all, right
