The Villain’s Mother - Chapter 320

Chapter 320 – All of my motherly love will be given to you. (1)

Ruan Xia would discuss new products with the pastry chefs. If a new dessert could be launched and successfully promoted, then the store would have a signature product. For example, there were stores known for their cake boxes with soy milk custard, molten lava cakes, etc. Although her shop was on that path to become a trendy shop, there were too many similar dessert stores, whether it was online or offline. She was still far from her goal. Fortunately, the store hadn’t been open for long, and she already achieved good results.

Ruan Xia now commuted to work with Song Tingshen. If he was busy, she would wait at the dessert store or go to his company to wait. She had now achieved her goal back then of saving gas. They only used one car to go to and from their home, so in terms of gas savings, they had achieved statistically significant results.

Today, Ruan Xia could have left work early, but they agreed to go home together, so she could only stay at the store to wait for him. There weren’t many customers in the store, and she had nothing to do, so she chatted with young female employees to idle the time away.

The shop assistants all liked their boss. She didn’t act as if she was better than them and was fairly polite. In addition, their boss provided them with good benefits and treated them well. At present, everyone wanted to do work well, and the atmosphere of the store was very good.

“Have you guys seen that expert’s proposal on childbirth on Weibo?” One of the young women had a slightly more fiery temperament. She slipped her phone into her pocket and said with an angry face, “It’s one thing to encourage having children, but having a child isn’t just giving birth to one… Anyways, I’m annoyed by that Weibo’s post.”

These young women weren’t married yet. When it came to this topic, they were all very excited to voice their opinions.

“The pressure from society is so heavy now. Who dares to have a child? Not only the cost of tuition, just the cost of buying a home … cools down my heart. Ai, even if I don’t eat or drink for the rest of my life, I won’t save enough money to buy a house in the capital city.” She rested her chin on her hand. “How can I think about having a child when I haven’t even solved the problem of housing?”

As the only person here who was married with a child, Ruan Xia only picked up her teacup. She didn’t join in the discussion of this topic.

“Older sister Xia, do you and your husband plan on having a second child?” One of the employees suddenly looked at Ruan Xia and asked.

Since the one-child policy ended, families with one child would be asked by relatives and friends during the holidays if they would have another child. Ruan Xia and Song Tingshen wren’t an exception. When they visited the Ruan’s, Father Ruan didn’t say anything about it, but Mother Ruan would hint at it. Ruan Xia would bluff her way out of it.

When they took Little Wang out for a stroll after dinner, they would see pregnant women with big bellies in their gated community. Even the kindergarten teacher, who had a good relationship with Ruan Xia, as well as a few parents had asked her this question. Their reasoning was very simple. They thought that Ruan Xia and her husband had the financial qualifications to have another child.

The Song’s were very rich. There were no financial issues if they had another child. They had a house, cars, and savings. Song Tingshen was the boss of a publicly traded company. Not just another child, even if they had several children, their children would be winners in life at birth. How enviable.

Ruan Xia smiled and shook her head. “Not planning on it.”

Since someone had started this topic, the group of young women naturally continued down this topic.

“Older Sister Xia, did you have a natural childbirth?”

Ruan Xia recalled for a bit and nodded. “Yes.”

“Natural childbirth must be very difficult, right? When you gave birth to Little Wang, the technique for natural childbirth was underdeveloped, right? I heard there’s nothing more painful than giving birth.”

…

Ruan Xia naturally had no idea. This body had given birth, but she hadn’t experienced the pain of childbirth. She wasn’t in the position to express any opinions on this issue.
