Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Jin Nian and Lu An had grown up together. She knew that Lu An would definitely not look down on her family. However, after the wedding, many people knew that she had married into a rich family. They said that she had become a phoenix and had no worries about food and clothing. She could live the life of a rich lady. Those people might not have any ill intentions, but they felt as if she could not live without Lu An.
In the eyes of those people, it seemed that she had used many methods to get close to a rich family and had the opportunity to spend her life with a rich family’s young master. Being able to marry Lu An was a blessing that she had cultivated in her previous life.
What was even more unacceptable to Jin Nian was that she had also told her mother about this matter. Unexpectedly, Teacher Tan had the same opinion as the others. “You were the one who wanted a child back then, but you still insist on working now. There’s no such thing as having the best of both worlds in this world. Besides, Lu An is so good at making money. He doesn’t need the money you get from working. Can’t you just stay at home and take care of your child in peace?”
Everyone thought that she should stay at home and take care of her baby. There were also many people who envied her for being able to live a carefree and rich life without having to work hard for a living.
Jin Nian knew that her relatives definitely didn’t understand her, but she didn’t expect Teacher Tan to be so pedantic. Therefore, she retorted, “Mom, as a teacher, why are you so old-fashioned? Who said that a pregnant woman can’t work? Besides, I work not only to make money but also to show the value of my life. I don’t want to be a rice worm that depends on others!”
Unlike Lu An, Teacher Tan was not going to give in to Jin Nian. She had her own thinking. “It’s not like I haven’t been pregnant before. 1 know how hard it is to be pregnant. I can’t sleep well or eat well every day. My body is already very weak and I don’t have the energy to work at all. Some people have to go out to earn money for their livelihood, but you have the conditions to not work, but you have to work early and return late. Do you think you’re not tired enough?”
“I’m your mother. Would 1 hurt you? I just don’t want you to tire yourself out. Just listen to me and stay at home to take care of the baby. Put the company’s matters aside for now.”
That day, Jin Nian didn’t say anything else and hung up the phone. She felt extremely wronged and no one could understand her.
Of course, she wasn’t usually a person who would go into a dead end. It still had something to do with her pregnancy. She could give in to other things, but this time, she had to get to a conclusion.
Seeing that Jin Nian and Teacher Tan were quarreling, Lu An immediately came over to console her. He hugged her and persuaded her gently, “Niannian, Mom and I are worried about your health because we know very well how difficult it is to be a mother. Moreover, you haven’t been resting well recently and your weight has been decreasing. At first, 1 was more at ease when you were busy with work, but you’re already five months old now. Even if you want to work, you don’t have that much energy.”
Jin Nian currently had a strong passion for work, so she didn’t feel that it was hard on her. In fact, she felt that it was harder when she was a student than when she was pregnant. When she was in her third year of high school, she could only go to bed at midnight every night. She had to wake up at four or five in the morning to study. She had endless papers to write, endless vocabulary to memorize, and endless texts. Every day, she would study when she opened her eyes, and she would also study when she closed her eyes.
There was a stage where she was in class or doing homework when she dreamed. Jin Nian really felt that she was about to die of exhaustion. It was not easy for her to get through it.
Lu An smiled. “At your age, can you still compare yourself to when you were in your third year of high school?”
“Why not?” Jin Nian snorted. “I’m not as smart as you. I can get into a good university even if I sleep in class every day. I’m just an ordinary person. I have to constantly do exercises and test papers. I have to spend double the time to catch up to get into a good university.”
Lu An understood how hard it was for her and brought up work again. “Niannian, think about it carefully. When you wanted to work in the beginning, did 1 ever stop you?”
Jin Nian thought for a while and shook her head, “No, you didn’t.”
Lu An said, “I’ve always been very supportive of your work. As long as it’s something you like, I’ll raise my hands in agreement.”
Jin Nian thought about it and questioned Lu An again. “But you said that my job is a lousy job today. Isn’t it because you look down on my job?”
Lu An said, “1 was just saying that out of anger. You drove in a daze because of work and almost got into a car accident. I said that it was a lousy job because I was anxious. 1 can’t blame you, right?”
Even if he was angry, Lu An wouldn’t say anything bad about Jin Nian. He had said that it was a lousy job on impulse. He didn’t expect Jin Nian to still be so angry. It was hard to imagine what would happen if he blamed Jin Nian..
