When I was abroad on a business trip, my daughter's grandmother, who had been taking care of her, suddenly got hospitalized.

My husband, Xue Minglang, is usually very busy with work, and there was no one to look after our 3-year-old daughter, Yueyue.

My husband suggested calling his mother to take care of Yueyue.

I don't have much affection for this mother-in-law of mine.

During my pregnancy, she volunteered to come and take care of me at home, but after I gave birth to our daughter, she found an excuse to return to her hometown.

She rarely visited or looked after her granddaughter in the 3 years since.

She also kept pressuring me to have a second child. I got fed up and directly retorted, "I only want Yueyue, I won't have a second child."

After that, she no longer spoke to me.

Seeing my hesitation, my husband advised, "Your own grandmother is better than a stranger. It's just for a week, are you afraid my mother won't take good care of her?"

I reluctantly agreed, but little did I know that this was the beginning of a tragedy.

Grandmother quickly rushed from her hometown to the city and was very enthusiastic.

When I video-called Yueyue, I specifically reminded grandmother, "Yueyue is allergic to shrimp, absolutely do not give her shrimp to eat."

Grandmother seemed to understand and loudly said, "Don't worry, it's no big deal. This is just a rich people's disease!"

Seeing her casual attitude, I repeated my reminder several times until she impatiently hung up the call.
