Xiao Beiguo pointed at the milk powder on the table and said, "I bought two cans, which should last for a month. If you have milk, you can drink it with the milk powder. The milk powder is quite expensive."

It’s not that he is reluctant, but if he spends all the money he earns on milk powder for his child, life will definitely be very tight.

"Alright, alright, I'll watch over her. I'll make her some porridge later. Isn't that how all children go through life?"

Su Xiaowan didn't want to breastfeed Xixi anymore. As long as she wasn't starving to death, that was enough.

Seeing that she had no patience at all, Xiao Beiguo felt depressed and ate in silence.

After dinner, he went to the mountains to chop firewood and was busy all day.

When he got home, Su Xiaowan was already cooking. He cleaned up and went to see Xixi who was sleeping on the kang.

The baby who had just been released from confinement fell asleep almost immediately after eating. Looking at the child who was not even as thick as his thigh, Xiao Beiguo's eyes were filled with heartache.

It was not big when it was born. It has been raised for a month and it doesn’t seem to have grown much. Other babies look bigger after the confinement period.

After watching for a while, he got up and went to the kitchen. He saw that Su Xiaowan had prepared the meal, but was sitting in front of the stove and making a fire.

He asked, "Is there any soup in the pot?"

"It's stewed medicine. You can drink a bowl later."

Seeing Su Xiaowan's persistent face, Xiao Beiguo didn't say anything in the end. He just hummed and said, "I'll go pick up the dishes."

After dinner, Su Xiaowan handed him the medicine and said, "Drink it while it's hot."

Looking at the black, unknown medicine, Xiao Beiguo looked at her hesitantly, "Xiao Wan, can I really drink this?"

After all, medicine is three parts poison.

"Cuihua's relative has given birth to two sons, and they are all fine. What could possibly happen? Come and drink."

Seeing her gulp down a large bowl in one breath, Xiao Beiguo said nothing and finished it in one gulp.

After cleaning the kitchen and taking a shower, Xiao Beiguo entered the house. Su Xiaowan had already lain down. Xixi, who had just finished drinking milk, was still awake and blinking at her.

Xiao Beiguo got on the kang, touched the little girl's hand and called her, "Xixi, why aren't you sleeping? Do you want to hear us talk?"

When the little girl heard the voice, she grinned at him and made some "hmm" sounds with her mouth.

Su Xiaowan was still thinking about giving birth to a son, so she pulled Xiao Beiguo's arm and said, "Don't talk to her. She will fall asleep soon. Turn off the lights."

"She's been sleeping all day. She probably wants to listen to us talk. Let's talk to her for a while. If you're sleepy, you can go back to sleep."

Xiao Beiguo was not sleepy. It was rare for him to be at home, so he wanted to spend more time with his children.

"You haven't paid your dues tonight." Su Xiaowan was a little tired, but thinking about being pregnant with a son, Xiao Beiguo was not at home every day, so he had to come twice every night.

As she said that, she started to take off Xiao Beiguo's pants.

Xiao Beiguo's face was grim, and he grabbed her hand, "Xiao Wan, Xixi hasn't slept yet, what's going on?"

Even if the child doesn't understand, you shouldn't do this in front of the child.

"She is so young, what does she know? I asked you to turn off the lights, but she can't see anything even if the lights are turned off." Su Xiaowan disagreed and didn't care.

"Hurry up, either turn on the lights or turn them off!"

Su Xiaowan didn't care. She had been doing farm work for many years and was quite strong. She easily pulled down Xiao Beiguo's pants and sat on his lap.

"Xiao Wan!" Xiao Beiguo was angry and annoyed.

Stop her from doing anything else.

"Xiao Beiguo, you can do this, why are you making so much trouble? If you don't want to move, I'll do it myself, and you just lie down."

"That's enough, Su Xiaowan!" Xiao Beiguo suddenly pulled the person aside, his face ashen.

"What are you doing! I just asked you to have a baby with me, and you're so reluctant?"

"Giving birth to a son is not just my responsibility. How can I have one if you don't help me?" Su Xiaowan felt aggrieved and sad.

She didn't want this to happen, but she had no choice. Without a son, she couldn't hold her head up in her husband's family and dared not say a word in front of Liu Xianglian.

Xiao Beiguo was so angry when he saw her being unreasonable, but he suppressed his anger.

"Didn't I agree to have a baby with you? Xixi hasn't even slept yet, and you're already thinking about this. How can you be a mother? Are you going to let the child just look at you like this?"

He just wanted to wait until the child fell asleep.

"Let her watch if she wants. She's just a little girl." Su Xiaowan said with disgust.

Xiao Beiguo felt extremely unfamiliar when looking at her. Before Xixi was born, they had a sweet life for a few months.

But after Xixi landed, Su Xiaowan seemed like a different person. She was not only mean to him, but also to Xixi.

But he endured it all, thinking that she had just given birth to a child, and gave in to her in everything.

"Xiao Wan, you are a girl yourself. Why do you still despise the girl you gave birth to? Isn't that your child too?"

"If possible, I would rather not have given birth to her!" Su Xiaowan's face was ferocious.

She just wants to have a son!

"Xiao Wan, how can you say such a thing."

Xiao Beiguo looked at her in disbelief, his tone revealing sadness and helplessness, "Xixi is still young, she needs someone to take care of her, and I have to go back to work."

"I promised you I would give birth to a son, but could you please treat Xixi well? After all, she is our child."

If he doesn't go to work, the family will not be able to survive and Su Xiaowan will become even more noisy.

When Su Xiaowan heard that he was willing to cooperate, her eyes lit up, "Are you serious?"

"Really, as long as you treat Xixi well, I will cooperate with you as soon as I come back. I will do whatever you want."

Xiao Beiguo was feeling exhausted when he left. He had originally planned to wait for Su Xiaowan to recuperate for a few years.

"Then let's do it now." Su Xiaowan couldn't wait, looking at the drowsy Xixi, and added, "Turn off the lights, Xixi wants to sleep."

Xiao Beiguo looked at Xixi and finally did not continue arguing with her about this matter. He turned off the lights.

Looking at Su Xiaowan's anxious look, he had no interest at all and looked depressed.

Su Xiaowan didn't care at all and tossed and turned under him. She was already used to Xiao Beiguo doing this.

When the time came, she sat on it, feeling wanton and expectant.

Xiao Beiguo just lay there, watching her madness in the moonlight. If it were in the past, he would have enjoyed it very much, but now, he only felt extremely tormented.

After a short while, Su Xiaowan lay down, still using the pillow as a cushion, and fell asleep in a short while.

Xiao Beiguo didn't sleep a wink that night. When he woke up early the next morning, he told Su Xiaowan that he had found a job and asked her to take good care of Xixi.

Su Xiaowan did it several times in a row, hoping to get pregnant with a son, and did not ask how long Xiao Beiguo would be gone.

Zhang Zhiwei looked at Xiao Beiguo, who had a worried look on his face, and couldn't hide his distress. "Brother Xiao, did you quarrel with your sister-in-law again?"

"Not really, I just said a few words. Can I do this job for a longer period of time? I want to work for a month or two before going back."

"Brother Xiao, why do you have to work so long? If you stay out for so long and don't come back, I don't know what your sister-in-law will do."

"It's the same back home. She wants to have a son. You know my family situation. I have to make more money before she gets pregnant. Otherwise, life will be difficult afterwards."

Xiao Beiguo didn't expect that the days that followed would be so difficult, because despite trying so hard this time, Su Xiaowan didn't get pregnant, and he was busy outside for more than a month before he could go back!
