Actually, when Mrs. Zhen heard that Gu’s father even suspected her of lying, she was already frantic! But Gu’s father still didn’t know how to restrain himself! Even after seeing Mrs. Zhen’s pained expression and her swollen, teary eyes, he still continued to speak darkly, and his words became increasingly inappropriate! This caused the evil fire that Mrs. Zhen had been suppressing in her heart to suddenly erupt! The invisible barrier at the throat was instantly burned to ashes! The negative emotions that had been suppressed in her heart since she was discharged from the hospital suddenly burst forth! Gu’s father initially wanted to continue blaming Mrs. Zhen! But she suddenly burst out in hysterical rage! "What conscience do I lack?! Huh! What conscience do I lack?! If there’s no milk, drinking blood should be okay! You ask him yourself! Will he drink it? Will he?! Will he?!" As Mrs. Zhen shouted and yelled, she shook the child violently several times! "Wah!!!!" At this, the child’s crying grew even louder. The mingled sounds of Mrs. Zhen’s shouting and the child’s crying made Gu’s father’s headache flare up! This sent his anger soaring to the peak, and the words he exclaimed were even more hurtful! "You’re his damn mother! Even if you really had to feed him blood, it’s still your duty!" "Ha! Hahaha... My duty?" The moment she heard this from Gu’s father, Mrs. Zhen’s anger seemed suddenly scattered. Her voice suddenly softened! It seemed as though she was muttering to herself, "How many pig’s trotters have you stewed for me? Didn’t you just let Xiao Gu’er bring raw ones and throw them into the kitchen? Wasn’t it me who did all the chopping and cooking by myself! You just moved your lips, and now you talk as if you have done so much! Since the birth of this child, what have you managed in this home? Apart from eating, drinking, and sleeping, you haven’t managed anything! When I was pregnant, you wouldn’t even let me in the kitchen, or let me wash any clothes, and still had meals delivered to me on schedule! I really thought you cared so much for me! Hmph! Turns out it’s all because I was carrying a child! Look at the life I lead now! I prepare three meals a day and bring them to you! Housework is all done by me alone! I, who just had major surgery, wash the baby’s diapers and then wash your and Gu Qing’s clothes! And still, you are not satisfied! You complain about him crying during the day, causing your headache, at night you complain his crying is too loud and disturbs your rest! The second night after being discharged, you forced me, by any means, to make this child shut up! He’s not a toy! How can I make him shut up? Can I strangle him? Can I?!" Mrs. Zhen, no longer shouting, meant the child’s crying soon quieted down. Although Gu’s father was extremely annoyed by Mrs. Zhen’s nagging, he did not continue to shout at her, just impatiently lit a cigarette, and half-heartedly listened while smoking. However, when he heard the word "strangle," he couldn’t help but reprimand Mrs. Zhen! "What the hell are you talking about!!" Maybe it’s because her words received a response, Mrs. Zhen’s voice suddenly got louder! She immediately retorted, "How am I talking nonsense?! He wasn’t in the hospital; he was not troublesome at all! The first night he came home from the hospital, he simply refused to lie in bed and sleep on his own! His brother and sister have always been easy to take care of since they were young! I’ve never seen nor heard of any friend’s or neighbor’s child acting like him! As soon as the adult lets go, he’ll start crying day and night non-stop!" "That’s because you don’t know how to take care of him! Xiaoqing also loved to cry when he was little; holding him would have solved it!" After saying this, Gu’s father disdainfully glared at Mrs. Zhen! "Ha!" Mrs. Zhen laughed out of anger, and without thinking retorted, "You make it sound so easy! Then why don’t you hold him!! Have you held him? He’s already a month old, tell me, how many times have you held him? Huh?! Not even once since we left the hospital, right?" "I, I just have some trouble moving around," Gu’s father said, even feeling guilty himself. Because deep down he knew that he loved his son! But a son who cries endlessly day and night, that he couldn’t stand! Now, whenever he hears the kid’s crying, it just gives him a headache! It’s like a curse drilling into his head; every time he wished he could throw both Mrs. Zhen and the baby out the door! ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ NoveI~Fire.net Expect Gu’s father to hold the baby? What a joke! Mrs. Zhen also knew in her heart that Gu’s father would never help her with holding the baby! So, she didn’t expect any useful words from him! Even though she heard his excuses, she acted as if she hadn’t heard anything and just kept on talking. "Ever since we got home from the hospital, I’m the one comforting the child during the day! At night, I’m still the one comforting him! During the day, whenever I finally get a moment, I have to quickly wash clothes and cook! Often, before I even get a bite to eat, he starts crying again! After I soothe him again, the food is already cold! Have you ever helped me out? You just make sure you’re fed! And at night, he just keeps going all night long, I not only have to make his milk, but also hold him while sleeping! Every day from eight or nine at night until four or five in the morning, I don’t sleep a single night lying down in bed! I’m always just napping while holding him against the headboard! Do you know any of this?!" Gu’s father opened his mouth subconsciously, suddenly wanting to speak. But Mrs. Zhen didn’t leave him any chance to interrupt! After catching her breath, she continued saying: "But what about you and your daughter?! Neither of you care for the child, nor worry about him damaging his throat from crying! No one even bothers to ask me ’how’s the child?’! In your eyes and hearts, it’s always only about yourselves! Gu Qing is already a grown girl yet she doesn’t understand anything! Completely disregarding my worries about the child, even if he occasionally cries at night and disturbs her, she has to run into our room and reprimand me sharply! I’m struggling day after day with no decent food or sleep, who do I talk to about this?! Does anyone care if I live or die?!" As soon as Mrs. Zhen criticized his daughter, Gu’s father immediately disapproved! His face instantly dropped! As soon as Mrs. Zhen finished speaking, he sharply reprimanded her: "Talk about the issue! Why drag Xiaoqing into this mess! She has to go to school the next morning! Of course, it’s not okay for her not to sleep well!"
