The two children weren't picky; they drank the milk powder gulped down as soon as they tasted it.

After they finished eating, Gu Qingsong and Chou Ya each held one of the children and patted them to help them burp.

This was something the nurses specifically told them after they returned to their wards after giving birth.

After feeding, you should burp the baby before laying them down flat, otherwise they may spit up and choke.

Newborns sleep a lot and fall asleep again soon after being put back in their crib.

Under Gu Qingsong's care, Lin An'an was given a quick wash by pulling the curtains closed, changed into a set of dry clothes, and lay down comfortably to rest.

The ward fell silent again. Song Meili looked at the dark sky outside the window and frowned.

Her parents clearly said they would bring her dinner, so why haven't they come yet?

Song Meili touched her stomach, which was cramping from hunger, and looked at Wu Xiaojun.

Even if you can't eat a meal right away, it's good to have some brown sugar water to fill your stomach first.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she expressed her request, Wu Xiaojun gave her a disapproving look.

After a long while, he finally said in a muffled voice, "My mother said that giving birth to a baby girl doesn't harm a woman's health, so she doesn't need to drink anything good to nourish her body. Let me pour you a glass of boiled water."

After hearing her son's words, Li Jingui picked up her teacup and raised her eyebrows at her daughter-in-law with a smug look.

She can't even give birth to a son, yet she wants to drink brown sugar water. Song Meili is just as useless as her mother.

If you ask Li Jingui, Song Meili's mother shouldn't have named her daughter Meili. What's the use of being beautiful? A woman still needs to give birth to a son!

It would have been better to name her Song Zhaodi or Song Laidi; perhaps that would have brought her a younger brother instead of leaving her with only one daughter, Song Meili.

Li Jingui picked up the teacup filled with strong brown sugar water, took a big sip with relish, and sighed contentedly.

This kind of good stuff should be drunk by Li Jingui, since she gave birth to three sons.

I drank three large vats of water and suddenly felt the urge to urinate. I didn't know where the hospital's outhouse was or how far away it was.

Upon hearing Wu Xiaojun's words, Song Meili trembled with anger, pointing at the person but unable to speak.

After a long while, he finally found his voice.

Song Meili said in a trembling voice, "Wu Xiaojun, you know in your heart how I've treated you all these years. Whenever you have something good, you secretly take it home, and I've never stopped you."

Upon hearing his wife's words, Wu Xiaojun stopped pouring water, his face fell, and he turned to look at Song Meili.

"But you shouldn't have done that, of all things, you shouldn't have even skimped on my brown sugar for your mother to drink!"

Song Meili cried out in anguish, "I just gave birth to your child! This brown sugar was bought for me by my mother who begged someone to exchange the ration coupons and paid for it herself!"

Perhaps it was a mother's heart that connected with her child; as Song Meili cried, her daughter woke up and started crying along with her mother.

Wu Xiaojun glanced in the direction of Gu Qingsong and the others, then silently lowered his head.

Song Meili cried bitterly, but Wu Xiaojun didn't feel any pity at all.

I just felt that she had a bad temper and didn't give me any face at all. She criticized me in front of everyone for such a trivial matter.

Hearing his newborn daughter cry only made him feel more annoyed.

When Song Meili was pregnant, her belly was clearly pointed, and everyone said she was having a boy.

That's why he was so tolerant of Song Meili when she was pregnant.

I even boiled water for her once during the later stages of her pregnancy.

I never expected Song Meili to be a liar, and she actually gave birth to another worthless little girl.

Wu Xiaojun lowered his head, thinking resentfully, "He should be like the first girl who died young, making his mother suffer again..."
