“No need.” 
Zhan Yin laughed. “You won’t even give your husband a chance to be considerate.”
Haitong replied, “I’m doing fine. I don’t need you fussing over me. Go out and chat with Grandma.” “Alright.”
After watching her enter the bathroom and close the door, Zhan Yin turned and left.
When the old lady saw him coming out, she was about to speak, but Zhan Yin spoke first: “Grandma, Tongtong says she doesn’t need me to fuss over her.”
The old lady opened her mouth but said nothing in the end.
Zhan Yin walked over and sat beside her. He picked up the big goose pillow she was holding and smiled. “Grandma, why are you hugging this thing?”
“There’s no cat to pet, so I’m hugging a goose pillow instead.”
“Grandma, you can stay at my villa. All the pets are there.”
“But Tongtong likes it here. She says this is the first home we lived in after getting married—it feels like home to her.”
So, no pets here.
The old lady said, “I don’t want to live in a villa. There’s no one to talk to there. In this community, I can go downstairs every day, take a walk, and chat with the old ladies. I like listening to gossip.”
Most of the aunties and grandmas downstairs are helping their children raise kids or do housework. When they gather, they talk about everything—gossip is part of the routine.
If anything happens in a household, once one person finds out, it spreads through the whole community in no time.
The old lady loves to listen but never gossips about her own children or grandchildren.
No one can get any gossip about her family from her.
“Tongtong could give birth at any time. Even if I lived with you, I’d still worry.”
“People like us are fortunate—we can afford a nanny or a confinement caregiver. Ordinary families can’t afford that kind of help. They have to do everything themselves, which is exhausting.”
Zhan Yin said, “Grandma, I know. I love Tongtong like I love my own life. She is my life, so of course I love her. In this lifetime, I’ll make sure she’s taken care of.”
“No matter how scary it gets, I’ll face it with her.”
Zhan Yin was firm in his decision to be by Haitong’s side during childbirth.
He had even discussed it with her in advance.
Haitong playfully teased him like an old lady, worried he’d faint like Su Nan did.
He told her that if he had to faint, he’d wait until after the baby was safely born and both mother and child were fine.
Haitong felt a little flustered—but also deeply touched.
