After getting into the car, Yang Chen took off Mi Tuan’s outfit, just wanting to experience the feeling, but still focusing on rideshare driving as passengers giving bad reviews can lead to rewards.
After driving five passengers, Yang Chen returned to the city center. While passing the bridge across the river, he saw a woman placing a child on the roadside.
The child seemed less than a month old, looking like a large kitten.
Yang Chen instinctively felt something was wrong and quickly stopped the car.
Sure enough, the woman looked at the child on the ground, waved tearfully, then turned and ran towards the bridge railing.
Yang Chen hurriedly opened the door and rushed over, grabbing the woman’s left foot in a flying leap.
At this point, the woman’s body was already hanging outside the bridge.
Passing cars stopped quickly, and people inside also came over to help pull the woman back.
The woman sat on the ground and started sobbing loudly. The child seemed to understand that his mother was crying and started crying as well.
Yang Chen quickly went and held the child, handing him to the woman, saying, "See, you and your child are connected. You cry, and he cries too. What’s so difficult that you can’t think through it? The child isn’t even a month old yet."
The woman leaned her forehead against the child’s and started crying again.
After a while, the woman’s emotions calmed slightly, and she explained her troubles.
In short, she had argued with her mother-in-law during postpartum confinement, and her husband took his mother’s side and hit her, prompting her to leave with the child in anger.
Originally, she thought she was still in confinement, the child wasn’t even a month old, surely her husband or mother-in-law would come after them. Even if they didn’t try to keep her, at least they’d take the child back, and she could go back naturally.
But she never expected that after waiting downstairs for more than an hour, nobody came to look for them. The more she thought about it, the angrier she got, leading her to decide to go back to her maternal home.
The longer she thought on her way, the more meaningless everything seemed, and she considered ending her life.
She initially thought of dying with the child but couldn’t bear for him to leave this world so soon.
People nearby asked about the conflict between her and her mother-in-law, questioning how it could be so severe.
The woman explained there wasn’t much conflict. It was just that her mother-in-law always tested the milk bottle’s temperature with her mouth. For newborns with weak immunity, an adult’s mouth germs aren’t good for them, so she told her mother-in-law a few times.
But her mother-in-law was stubborn. The more she said not to test with her mouth, the more her mother-in-law did it, even saying, "A little dirt never hurt anyone. The child won’t starve without you."
How could a woman in confinement stand such provocation? She argued with her mother-in-law.
As a result, her husband felt that his mother had come from the countryside to take care of her during confinement and help with the child, and blamed her for being ungrateful, which led him to hit her.
If the woman’s words were true, her husband really was a beast, not fit to have children.
An elder might not understand some unhygienic practices, but as a younger person, her husband should know better. He could have taken responsibility for making the milk, but instead, he did nothing and sided with his mother to the extent of hitting his confined wife, which was utterly reprehensible.
Several women nearby advised the suicidal woman to look on the bright side, saying divorce was always an option.
At this point, divorce would likely mean the child being awarded to her, with some economic care taken for her as well.
Even if she had to work in a factory, she could comfortably raise the child, so there was no need to suffer in such a family.
Yang Chen quickly advised, "I think you should go stay at your parent’s place for a few days and carefully consider if your marriage is worth continuing. Where is your family home? Let me take you there."
The woman held her child, nodded to Yang Chen, and said, "Thank you. My mom lives in Jing’an Garden."
Yang Chen nodded and said, "Okay! Let’s go, get in the car!"
The woman got into Yang Chen’s car with her child.
Yang Chen drove them to Jing’an Garden.
Soon, they arrived at their destination.
Woman: "Thank you. How much, I’ll transfer it to you."
Yang Chen: "No need, just hold your child tight and walk carefully."
Woman: "Thank you. I thought about it just now, I was indeed too impulsive. It’s not something worth dying over, there’s no need for that. Thank you anyway, I wish you a lifetime of peace and safety."
Yang Chen: "Thank you. I hope you can successfully resolve your family issues and that your child grows up healthy."
The woman stepped out of the car with her child, bowing in thanks in front of Yang Chen’s car.
Yang Chen waved at her with a smile, watching her walk into the residential area.
At this moment, a system notification popped up.
"The system detected that the host completed a special delivery, with the current special task progress at 7/10. Victory is just around the corner, please keep it up!"
Wow, not bad, good deeds do get rewarded. This counts as a special task.
Yang Chen felt pleased in his heart and rushed off to find a place to eat.
After dinner, Yang Chen logged into the Mi Tuan rider account.
Oh my, the platform system instantly pushed ten orders for him to choose from.
Yang Chen glanced at the notes for each order.
"Please bring me a bottle of Red Bull and a pack of soft Hua Zi. Don’t take the order if you can’t, or else a bad review."
"Tsk..." Yang Chen said disdainfully, then rejected the order.
"Please help me get a pack of sanitary pads, I am flooding and can’t move. Thanks."
"Gross!" Yang Chen said, rejecting that too.
"Lots of chili, ask the delivery guy to pack me some chili. Otherwise, both the store and delivery guy will get bad reviews!"
