When my mother-in-law chased after me, I had just entered the elevator.

"The baby will need milk soon. There's milk in the fridge that I've pumped, and I also bought the milk bottles a few days ago. Oh, remember to have your son buy formula milk. The milk in the fridge will only last for two days."

It was only then that my mother-in-law realized I was planning to leave home, and she was shocked.

"Zhou Ningning, have you gone crazy?! You're just going to abandon the child?!"

I'm not crazy.

If you all go crazy, I won't go crazy.

I found a hotel with good environmental quality, booked a room, took a bath, watched dramas, ate barbecue, and enjoyed myself.

That night, my husband and mother-in-law bombarded me with calls and messages as if they had gone crazy.

It was all just accusations of me being irresponsible and abandoning the child.

I didn't answer the calls, I replied to my husband with a WeChat message.

【Haha, is the child solely my responsibility? You two can leave whenever you want, but I can't? Feed when hungry, comfort when crying, are your hands or feet broken?】

【But you're the child's biological mother!】

【Is the biological mother not allowed to have a carefree moment outside?】

【Zhou Xiaoning, you're so heartless! The child is suffering because of your irresponsibility.】

【Don't talk nonsense to me, I find it disgusting.】

【...】

I turned the accusation back on him: 【The child is now under your care, suffering because of your irresponsibility!】

【...】

I ignored him, put my phone on silent, and had a good night's sleep.

The next day, I woke up to over 99 messages on my phone.

"Chen Family Courtyard" was also bustling.

【How can there be lasting grudges in a family?】

【Which mother doesn't love her child? If Ningning was driven to leave home, no matter what, it's because you, Xiaohui, as the husband, didn't do well. Go quickly, apologize to Ningning!】

【Ningning, this child, is straightforward and quick-witted, but a child who understands reason.】

【...】

My husband sent me over a dozen short essays.

But without exception, they were all blaming me, there was no sign of softening or apologizing.

The last sentence he sent me was:

【Let's see how long you can stay stubborn!】

My mother-in-law's response was equally synchronized: 【If you have the guts, never come back!】
