CHAPTER 482: CHAPTER 481 MRS. ZHEN GETS REPRIMANDED

What Zhen Yu didn’t expect was that she and Bai Xue had reached the entrance of the guesthouse, yet they still hadn’t seen Han Mingyue! This made her start to regret stopping Bai Xue just now!

If only she had asked one more question!

Where could he have gone on such a late night? Did he really think it was safe for a boy to walk at night?!

After entering the main entrance of the guesthouse in a distracted state, Zhen Yu didn’t go inside.

Seeing this, Bai Xue thought for a while and then asked her quietly, "Should we just wait for him here inside the entrance?"

"Yeah." Zhen Yu responded softly, her eyes on the door.

But after a short while, Teacher Zhang came over and urged the two of them, "We need to get up early tomorrow to catch the bus back to Qi City! What are you two doing standing here?! Hurry up and go to sleep upstairs!!"

Zhen Yu didn’t move. Instead, she quickly lowered her head to think of an excuse! How should she delay for some time before going upstairs?!

Bai Xue instinctively knew it was not the right time for her to speak, so she immediately hid beside Zhen Yu and played mute!

Just then! The guesthouse door suddenly sounded.

Zhen Yu quickly looked up!

Once she looked, Bai Xue and Teacher Zhang looked over too.

"Han Mingyue!" Upon seeing it was truly him, Zhen Yu immediately left the two at her side and went up to him! "What’s the matter with you!? What are you doing running around alone at night?!"

Understanding that Zhen Yu was concerned about him, Han Mingyue immediately smiled! Then he handed over a bag to Zhen Yu, "Here! Your belt!"

Zhen Yu went silent for a moment.

After a long breath, she still reached out and took it.

Instead of saying something silly like ’I won’t be needing it for now,’ her tone suddenly softened, "...Let’s go! Teacher Zhang was just urging us to go upstairs!"

"Okay."

—

On Zhen Yu’s side, the relationship between her and Han Mingyue was like a gentle breeze and soft rain, silently nourishing everything.

Meanwhile, Mrs. Zhen, who was at home resting after delivery and also taking care of Gu’s father with a broken leg, seemed to be plunged into continuous rainy days, always feeling oppressed and damp!

Even on National Day, it was the same!

The child she was trying to put to sleep for the nth time had just been laid down when his eyes popped open again! Then he began to whine with puckered lips, obviously getting ready to cry!

Mrs. Zhen felt so frustrated she almost wanted to vomit blood! But still, she could only persevere, barely able to keep her eyes open, picking him up for the nth time and continuing to walk around and gently soothe him.

Just as she was about to get the child to sleep again, there suddenly came a loud ’bang’ from the door!

This was disastrous! The infant in Mrs. Zhen’s arms almost immediately opened his little mouth and started howling!

—

Just as Gu’s father, who had just been brought home by Little Gu’er, closed the door, he immediately heard his son’s crying! This worsened his already bad mood due to the leg injury affecting his business!

Using his crutches, he moved toward the bedroom door where Mrs. Zhen and the child were sleeping, and unhooked a bag of newly bought milk powder from the crutches, and flung it onto the head of the bed!

As soon as there was a ’thud’ on the bed, he turned around and started to scold Mrs. Zhen fiercely!

"Why is my son crying again? What use are you! Didn’t you say last night that there was still some milk powder left at home? Besides, didn’t I just buy a new bag?! If he’s hungry, hurry up and make him some milk powder! Why are you still standing there like an idiot?! Huh?!"

As soon as Gu’s father started yelling, Mrs. Zhen’s tears ’whooshed’ down!

Then they just kept flowing nonstop...

But she didn’t cry out loud, instead, she silently soothed the child with her head lowered, while silently shedding tears.

Actually, Mrs. Zhen didn’t know what had been wrong with her lately.

She just felt incredibly wronged! Her mood was extremely gloomy! Alone at home, she always felt like lashing out at the heavens, the earth, the air!

However, when Gu’s father made accusations like now, even when she wanted to retort, she found herself unable to speak a word! It wasn’t that she didn’t want to speak, but it felt like something was stuck in her throat! She had words but couldn’t get them out!

And after hearing Gu’s father’s words, she indeed wanted to get angry! She didn’t feel like crying at all! But ever since she had left the hospital, every time Gu’s father quarreled with her, her tears would just involuntarily start flowing.

It was as if they had their own way of thinking, completely beyond her control!

—

Seeing Mrs. Zhen neither making milk for the child nor responding to him, Gu’s father grew even angrier!

"He’s not hungry, huh?! If he’s not hungry, why does he keep crying endlessly?! Crying during the day! Crying all damn night too!! It’s so bad that both Xiaoqing and I can’t sleep well at night!! You’ve been a mother before, how can you not even soothe a child?! Huh?!"

"And what did you tell me before? Huh?! You said you temporarily didn’t have milk due to the surgery affecting your body, right?! You also said you had plenty of milk with your first two children! How is it that with my son, a month has gone by and you still don’t have a drop of milk?! Are you doing this on purpose? Trying to create trouble between us father and son, huh?!"

—

Every time the topic of breastmilk came up, Mrs. Zhen felt like her heart was stuffed with a huge clump of cotton, severely blocked! It had been less than a month since she left the hospital, yet Gu’s father had already criticized her more than a dozen times!

Initially, Mrs. Zhen wanted to argue back with Gu’s father, but as he kept repeating his accusations, and stubbornly blaming her for the lack of breastmilk, her thoughts changed.

Isn’t she, as a mother, anxious about her baby not having breastmilk to eat?

She was even more anxious than Gu’s father! But he showed no understanding at all! What was there left to talk with him?

Besides, she truly hadn’t lied! Her milk was genuinely plentiful when she was younger!

But now, she had tried all sorts of remedies and methods; if milk isn’t coming, how could it be her fault?!

—

Holding back a huge amount of frustration, Mrs. Zhen finally sniffling squeezed out a sentence.

"... The doctor really did tell me that, why would I lie to you."

"Why would you lie to me? Who knows! Whether the doctor really said it or you made it up, it’s still your word that counts! Just think about how many pig trotters I’ve stewed for you this month?! Huh! You ate all that good food, yet you didn’t produce a drop of milk for my son, probably all that turned into fat on your own body, didn’t it?! Are you heartless or what?!"
