Life passed quickly while the whole family was busy and no one bothered them.
Before long, Ding Yun was over nine months pregnant.
And she had to post a shop announcement, temporarily taking down some of the fruits in her online store that had a relatively short shelf life, and only selling those with a longer shelf life.
There was no other way. All the fruits she sold in her online store needed to be processed by the low-level grass and wood creation furnace to achieve better quality and taste. Now that she was in the hospital preparing for childbirth, she clearly didn't have the time or energy to process those fruits in large quantities.
After giving birth and during her confinement period.
Her parents would definitely not let her be busy.
In order not to damage the shop's reputation, Ding Yun had to process more fruits with a longer shelf life in advance.
This ensured that the shop still had items to sell.
It also avoided affecting their reputation.
Although in the end, she would inevitably lose some customers, Ding Yun couldn't help it. Compared to losing customers, preserving her reputation was clearly more important.
Moreover, as long as the quality remained the same, after she finished her confinement and put the fruits with shorter shelf lives back on the shelves, most of the lost customers would likely return.
After handling the relevant matters of the fruit online store.
The next step, of course, was preparation for childbirth and delivery.
Generally speaking, unless the pregnant woman specifically requested it, or her physical condition was indeed unsuitable for natural birth, hospitals would usually let the pregnant woman attempt natural birth first.
If natural birth was unsuccessful, then a C-section would be performed.
Although Ding Yun had been busy during this period, she had maintained her health quite well, and the fruits processed by the creation furnace also had some good beneficial effects on the human body. Therefore, her childbirth process was not particularly difficult, and she soon gave birth to a daughter.
The whole family was overjoyed by the birth of the child.
And began to carefully take care of their daughter and granddaughter.
As all of this was done without the knowledge of Zhou Junyu and Lin Guihua, in the days after Ding Yun gave birth.
Lin Guihua and her son did not appear.
However, such a matter could not be kept secret forever.
On the third day after Ding Yun was discharged from the hospital, Lin Guihua and her son received the news and rushed over, demanding to see the child. After all, they were not yet divorced, and as the father and grandmother, they indeed had the right to see the child.
Although Ding Yun and her family found it difficult to refuse, they certainly couldn't let them do whatever they wanted. They could see the child, but only look, not hold. So, after a while, Ding Yun's family of four, plus the baby, confronted Lin Guihua and Zhou Junyu.
"You gave birth to a money-loser and you're acting arrogant.
Without my son, could you have given birth to a child by yourself? Even if you gave birth to a little girl, she's still part of my Zhou family. Why won't you let us hold her?
I'm telling you, not only do we want to hold her.
We want to take the child back.
Over these past few months, we've been restrained enough and given your family enough face. Don't push your luck. Give me the child now, and you come back with us, then we can still live together.
Don't refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit."
Lin Guihua only knew that the baby had been born at first. She only found out it was a daughter when she entered the residential compound, and her mood had already soured. Seeing Ding Yun and her family guarding them like thieves and not letting them hold the child, her inner anger could no longer be suppressed.
She immediately roared in anger and threatened them.
At the same time, Zhou Junyu's expression was also not good:
"Liu Xiaoyu, how long do you plan to keep this up? Previously, when you were pregnant, I could understand your mood swings due to unstable hormones and even some peculiar emotions, and I tried my best to accommodate you.
But now the child is born.
How long are you going to keep this up?
Don't think I won't dare to divorce you!"
Obviously, Zhou Junyu actually knew that pregnant women were different from ordinary people. Although he might not have understood it thoroughly, he certainly knew some basic information, otherwise, he wouldn't have said these words.
However, he didn't take it seriously.
Nor did he think about accommodating the pregnant woman and trying to keep her emotions calm. It was likely that Ding Yun's earlier decision to return to her parents' home made him secretly relieved, thinking he no longer had to tolerate the temperamental pregnant woman.
Now, he felt that since the child was born.
She should have returned to normal by now.
So, at this moment, he directly ordered Ding Yun in an almost commanding tone, and also threatened her.
As if he was truly afraid of divorcing her.
"Heh, that's great. Do you want to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau right now to finalize the divorce procedures? The child will be mine.
I don't want a single cent from you.
I'll just take the child!"
As soon as Ding Yun heard his words, the first thought that flashed through her mind was, "What good news is this?" She then immediately and naturally taunted and provoked him on the spot.
What she was thinking was that if the other party fell for her trap.
And went to the Civil Affairs Bureau to divorce her on the spot.
How wonderful and trouble-free that would be!
Unfortunately, Zhou Junyu didn't seem that easy to provoke. After hearing Ding Yun's words, he didn't immediately agree to divorce now. Instead, he was stunned for a moment, then looked at Ding Yun hesitantly, even wondering if he had heard wrong:
"What are you thinking?
I'm talking about divorce, divorce...
Did pregnancy make your brain go stupid? If you divorce me, a second-hand woman with a child, a burden, who else would marry you? Are you crazy!"
"Pah, I think you're the one who's crazy.
Divorce is divorce, what's the big deal? As if my daughter can't live without you. I'm telling you, my daughter can live perfectly fine even if she divorces you, and she'll even be much happier than now!
Marrying you was the biggest mistake of her life!"
Huang Pinjuan, who had been silent beside them, couldn't stand it anymore and immediately couldn't help but speak up in defense of her daughter.
Inevitably, another fierce argument ensued.
By the end of the argument, both sides had lost their tempers. And, much to Ding Yun's surprise, they applied for divorce on the spot with their marriage certificates and other relevant documents.
It's just that even if both parties agreed to divorce, it's no longer possible to divorce immediately like in the past. There's still a one-month divorce cooling-off period. Only if neither party regrets it or withdraws the divorce application within the one-month cooling-off period.
Can they officially divorce.
It was this divorce cooling-off period that made Ding Yun very worried that Zhou Junyu and others would go back on their word and withdraw the divorce application.
So, when they went back.
She wasn't as relaxed as her parents.
But she didn't voice her concerns to her parents. She could only pray silently in her heart that Zhou Junyu and the others wouldn't cause any trouble, and that a peaceful divorce would be best.
Otherwise, if they really pushed her too far.
She might do something to retaliate.
