Chapter 476: Chapter 476

Fan Xiuying made Fang Xiaohui’s bed, and Fang Xiaohui was already lying down. Fan Xiuying held the baby and fed it some formula from a bottle.

The baby was hungry, drinking continuously.

Seeing the baby’s skinny appearance, Fan Xiuying could only sigh.

"Where’s your mother-in-law? You just had a baby and she doesn’t come to take care of you? And your husband, Song Mohuan, leaves you, a woman who just gave birth, ? How is this humane?"

Only now did she realize Fang Xiaohui had just given birth.

There wasn’t a single person by her side.

Compared to Jiang Xiaoxiao surrounded by people, this scene was heartbreakingly lonely.

Fan Xiuying felt sadness in her heart, and even more, anger.

Fang Xiaohui wiped away a tear.

"Mom, my mother-in-law is sick, Mohuan is taking care of her, so I have to endure a bit here, but the nanny is in! I’ve sent her to buy some formula, she should be back soon."

For the first time in a while, Fang Xiaohui was able to catch her breath.

Why is my life so bitter, can’t even rest well after childbirth, all thanks to Jiang Xiaoxiao.

My birth parents revolve around Jiang Xiaoxiao, while no one cares about their own daughter.

The way I treated Fan Xiuying and the others in my past life was justified, these parents never truly regarded me as their daughter, no wonder I wasn’t kind to them.

This is the retribution they deserve.

Fang Xiaohui lowered her head to hide the malicious look in her eyes.

Fan Xiuying patted the baby, who burped contentedly and then fell quietly asleep.

Fan Xiuying placed the baby in the crib and covered it with a small blanket.

"You need to get good rest. I’ll go prepare some food and bring it over. That Song family... ugh, how could they treat a woman who just gave birth ? It’s absurd! How did Old Mrs. Song and Old Sir Song end up with such a heartless daughter-in-law?

Your man is also unreliable, can’t see what’s more important. I really don’t know how the Song family educates their children.

Comparing Song Mohuan and Song Moting, that’s just... enough! No more! You rest well, I’ll be back soon."

Fan Xiuying couldn’t let it go.

She turned and went to Jiang Xiaoxiao’s room, pulling Jiang Laoshi out.

"The child’s father, I’m going back to cook, you stay here and help Moting take care of the child, I’ll be back soon."

Fan Xiuying rolled down her sleeves, and Jiang Laoshi was puzzled.

"You’re just all over the place, it’s been a few hours since lunch, Xiaoxiao even said she couldn’t eat, and there’s still a large thermos of millet porridge, red sugar eggs, and dishes. What are you going back to cook for?"

"Right! There’s still a big thermos." Fan Xiuying was busy to the point of forgetting.

The contents in the thermos weren’t touched, it was what the Song family sent and what the two of them brought, it was always ample.

But no matter what, the old lady wouldn’t agree not to send food.

If the old lady didn’t come, the household maid would deliver on time.

This had become a routine.

Since Jiang Xiaoxiao hadn’t taken a bite, why not just take some to Fang Xiaohui?

Fan Xiuying had no choice but to tell Jiang Laoshi about Fang Xiaohui having a baby.

Jiang Laoshi, upon hearing it, also had a darkened face.

"That child insisted on taking this path! Didn’t listen to anything we said, and now she’s suffering of her own accord. Ah! You should talk to Xiaoxiao, we can’t use her things to curry favor.

Otherwise, maybe you’d better go home and cook, so both youngsters don’t feel upset."

Jiang Laoshi regarded both Fang Xiaohui and Jiang Xiaoxiao with equal disdain.

Best not to cause trouble.

"Mom and Dad! Who’s upset? What are you two whispering about over here?"

Jiang Xiaoxiao came out of the bathroom and saw the two of them whispering, catching the last few words.

"No! Nothing! Mom wants to go home for a bit! Just telling your dad, you hurry back and lie down, go on."

Fan Xiuying quickly helped Jiang Xiaoxiao back to bed.

The child’s body was truly strong, full of spirit even after childbirth, always wanting to get up and move around a bit.

Fan Xiuying held her firmly in place, not allowing it.

Jiang Xiaoxiao lay down, holding Fan Xiuying’s hand.

"Mom, don’t hide it from me. I heard you and Dad talking just now, did Fang Xiaohui have her baby? Right next door! Don’t worry that I’ll get mad. You want to go home to cook for her, but our place is so far from the hospital. It’d take more than an hour for a round trip.

Just give her some of my food, don’t back and forth. Running around every day, you’re either tiring yourself out or exhausting Dad. Giving five meals a day, who’s like that?

Now if you add Fang Xiaohui to it, will you and Dad still have a life? Running back and forth between the road and the kitchen all day."

Jiang Xiaoxiao was worried about her parents, not that she cared about Fang Xiaohui.

They were like enemies.

"You, child, always worrying about us, Mom knows! You can’t stand Fang Xiaohui; you’re only speaking up for Mom’s sake, to avoid Mom’s hard work. Mom knows loving you all my life wasn’t wrong.

Whether you’re biological or not, you genuinely care about Mom and Dad! Ah, sometimes I wonder, what did I do in this lifetime to deserve you as my daughter? Always considering Mom and Dad, enduring everything for them.

If only Fang Xiaohui was half or even one-third of you, I could be at ease."

Fan Xiuying feared Jiang Xiaoxiao would get upset, despite Jiang Xiaoxiao being generous. But when it came to Fang Xiaohui, some temper always showed.

She feared Jiang Xiaoxiao would think she favored her biological daughter over Jiang Xiaoxiao.

Jiang Xiaoxiao held Fan Xiuying’s hand and shook it. "Mom, you’re my mom, no need to be formal with me! I’ve always considered you my real mom; whether you scold or hit, I think I deserve it. I’ll just pretend the woman next door is a stranger who just had a baby with no one to care for her.

I’ll pity her a little; that’s all. I don’t even see her as Fang Xiaohui. If I did, after what she said and did at our home, I’d never let you acknowledge her.

She’s ungrateful; no matter how well you and Dad treat her, she won’t remember your kindness.

If she could treat you better even just a little, I might not be so against her. Unfortunately, she’s not like that at all."

Jiang Xiaoxiao was being honest, hoping her parents would wake up, not invest too much emotionally, as they would end up hurt.

Fan Xiuying patted Jiang Xiaoxiao’s hand, "Mom knows, sometimes when I am mad, I say as if I never gave birth to her. But seeing her like that, I can’t help but feel bad, so just consider it a good deed. I won’t have much to do with her in the future.

Mom knows, your dad said Fang Xiaohui isn’t good either!"

The two of them had some sense, but since she was their biological one, Fan Xiuying couldn’t bear to cut her off completely.
