Chapter 1864: Emotional Abuse

Some vomit had flowed into her nose, causing the child to cough harshly. Her small face was turning blue.

“What’s wrong with her?” Chen Ning’s mother-in-law asked from beside her.

Ning Shu’s heart filled with rage. What kind of person was this?

Ning Shu leaned down and held the child’s nose, gently sucking out the filth. Otherwise, the child would choke to death.

Ning Shu turned the child over, gently patted her back, and then pressed the bedside pager.

When the doctor and nurse arrived shortly after, Ning Shu told them about the child’s condition.

The doctor reprimanded Chen Ning’s mother-in-law, making her face take on an unflattering shade. “This is my granddaughter.”

Even Ning Shu’s calmness halo couldn’t quench the flames in her heart at the thought of there being people who would treat their granddaughters like this.

As the doctor took the child away for an examination, Ning Shu realized her hospital gown was stained with blood. Her stitches had come undone.

The pain in her abdomen felt as if someone had wrenched her wounds open. It hurt like hell and Ning Shu began to sweat profusely.

Ning Shu was pushed into the operating room. Perhaps it was because her soul was now stronger, but even with the anesthetic, she could feel the needle piercing her skin and the thread being pulled through her flesh.

Ning Shu inexplicably felt like crying. It was this body crying, crying from exhaustion.

Ning Shu woke up after the surgery and told the nurse, “Give me a PCA pump.”

To not even give her a painkiller…were they trying to kill their patients?

Her mother-in-law stood beside her bed and muttered, “The baby is just a girl, yet you’re still being so finicky.”

The veins in Ning Shu’s forehead throbbed but Chen Ning’s mother-in-law ignored her and went on. “You should save a little. It’s not easy for Jinwei to earn money and now that you gave birth to a girl, you’ll need to have a second child.”

Ning Shu had just given birth and this woman was already planning for the next child!

It was only after personally going through this experience that Ning Shu truly understood the pain. She couldn’t even go through puerperium in peace.

After exhausting her mind and body giving birth she wasn’t just treated poorly but also told her child was worthless.

This was emotional abuse.

Women not only had to face men’s scorn and oppression but also face humiliation from their fellow women. Women that were ever eager to put down others to please men.

The three obediences and four virtues were even made up by one and were meant to degrade women. In order to gain favor, women had to take care of men in every way, to treat them like gods.

Women would fight with each other to the death over the slightest flaw, yet they were all right with men doing whatever they pleased.

Ning Shu took a deep breath, “Arrange a PCA pump for me.”

Her mother-in-law’s expression darkened and she kept muttering to herself.

Weary, Ning Shu quickly fell asleep.

It was normal when suffering from postpartum depression and mental or emotional abuse.

Due to the hormonal changes during pregnancy and childbirth, women would often develop endocrine disorders. These caused volatile emotions, general apathy, crying, low self-esteem, and exhaustion. That exhaustion could be mental as well as physical and could reach a point where it became difficult to think. That was why there was the saying that one pregnancy resulted in three years of dumbness.

At noon, An Jinwei came to the hospital from work to see Ning Shu.

An Jinwei was not a very handsome man, he was average at best. He was tall, thin, and wore a pair of glasses.

Ning Shu felt a chill when he walked in to sit by the bed, expressionless. This guy was cold and selfish.

His marriage to Chen Ning was a marriage of convenience that lacked any true passion.
