Chapter 1324: Pay or Not (2)
"What's wrong with giving birth at home? Didn't your wife take good care of you? Did you eat eggs every day? Why do you have to go to that kind of place and waste money? I won't allow it. I don't have the money!"
"As for a daughter-in-law like you, you won't find one if you just ask around. Who's daughter-in-law would go to a confinement center to give birth to a child? I have no money. If you dare to go there, I'll break your legs, believe it or not?"
"How can a person who has given birth to two daughters have the right to spend money? The money should be saved for my grandson. Can you guarantee that this is a boy? If you can't even guarantee it, why should I spend this money?"
"Tsk, two taels of silver. It only cost me two taels of silver to buy you from your family. If anything happens to you, I can find a wife for my son..."
When the mother-in-law is at home, even if the man agrees, the housekeeper is unwilling to take out the money.
If they insist on going, then they will start crying, making a fuss, and even threatening to commit suicide, and finally point at their noses and scold them for being unfilial.
The rejected woman was in despair.
There was a woman who, after hearing her mother-in-law's harsh words, her husband not only did not coax her but also joined her in scolding her, saying that the money would be better used to buy him wine instead of giving her the money to have children.
This made the woman very angry, and she took the extreme approach of choosing to go on a hunger strike, as she didn't want to have the baby anymore.
No matter who came to persuade her, she refused to eat a single bite and almost died of starvation.
It was a woman friend from the same village who ran to find Ji Xiaomu and told her about her situation.
When Ji Xiaomu heard about it, she quickly sent someone to take the woman away.
This saved the woman's life, but she resolutely chose to divorce. She was unwilling to return to that cold home even if she starved to death on the street.
That day, Ji Xiaowu asked the women to bring their men to pay the money the next day. Eighty percent of the women smiled and held their men's arms, shyly paid the money, with sweet smiles on their faces.
When Ji Xiaomu saw this scene, she smiled and accepted the money they handed over.
As for the remaining women, after that extreme incident, Ji Xiaou directly sent people to invite them all over without even needing the consent of their in-laws, and she waived their confinement expenses.
The confinement center had been built by Ji Xiaou long before she gave birth, but it had never been put into use. This time, it was just right, and it was officially opened the next day after receiving the confinement money from the women.
Every woman has her own room, and the rooms are close to each other, so she can see other pregnant women when she comes out. It is simple and convenient to find someone to chat with.
Mother Ji was afraid that they would be bored, so she designed a game room for them, which contained some small toys that they could play with by themselves, as well as some games that required teamwork.
There is even an embroidery area and a clothing-making area.
Here, they can do whatever they want, as long as they keep themselves in a good mood, no one will bother them.
The women are happy every day. Their men will come to accompany them whenever they are free. Seeing their wives with smiling faces and rosy complexions, the men almost couldn't recognize them.
It was as if they had returned to the happiness of their first marriage. The men were more willing to come over and spend time with their wives whenever they had time.
Which man doesn't want to see his wife who smiles sweetly when she sees him? Who would like to see a resentful woman who is bullied by her mother-in-law and has a bitter face?
The men's choices are all affirmative.
As soon as Ji Xiao's confinement center opened, it became a benchmark in Heyang City. However, the mothers-in-law thought it was the most useless place. Everyone gave birth to a child in that way...
