Chapter 822: 823 Beyond Cure! (First Update)

If she had wanted to have children, by now they could have already been old enough to fetch soy sauce.

Ding Siyu used to dislike children, but after meeting Bao Bao and Bei Bei, it was like she saw two little angels, which dispelled her prejudices against little kids.

"Right, right," Mo Qingyi immediately nodded in agreement, "Sister Siyu, we think alike! I now really want to give birth to two adorable treasures like them."

"Then you and Duanmu should go for it, you’re both so young, if you want it, isn’t that just a matter of minutes?" Ding Siyu said with a smile.

Mo Qingyi said somewhat embarrassedly, "It’s not as simple as you say."

Actually, Chu Jin really wanted to ask them both if they had some misunderstanding about cuteness.

But in order not to hinder their childbearing, Chu Jin silently swallowed those words.

"By the way, Jin, have you decided on big names for Bao Bao and Bei Bei?" Mo Qingyi continued to ask.

"Bei Bei is named Chu Ge," Chu Jin looked up at Mo Qingyi, then went on, "We’re still thinking about a name for Bao Bao."

Ding Siyu looked up in surprise, "Chu Ge? Does Bei Bei have your surname?"

Usually, children follow their father’s surname, it was unexpected...

Chu Jin’s child actually took her surname.

Chu Jin nodded, "Yes, Bei Bei takes the Chu surname after me, and Bao Bao takes Mo Zhixuan’s."

Ding Siyu went on to say, "Could Zhixuan agree to that?" Generally speaking, whose surname the baby takes is a matter of the father’s pride, and with the kind of status Mo Zhixuan has, does he really not mind?

"He doesn’t mind at all." Chu Jin said with a smile, her eyes warming at the thought.

When Chu Jin broached the subject with Mo Zhixuan, he didn’t have any objections at all.

Ding Siyu teased with a smile, "You’ve trained your Mo Zhixuan pretty well."

Chu Jin raised an eyebrow slightly, "It’s mutual, brother-in-law has been trained quite well by you, too."

It is evident that Han Zixiu truly dotes on Ding Siyu, and moreover, he dotes to a certain extreme.

Ding Siyu smiled without saying a word, her eyes reflecting a gentle light.

Han Zixiu was indeed very good to her, and very obedient.

Compared to the flirtatious Han Zixiu of the past, his change was not just a little one.

"Chu Ge?" Mo Qingyi repeated Bei Bei’s name, "Jin, you and Bei Bei have even chosen parent-child names? One Jin, one Chu."

Chu Jin slightly raised an eyebrow, a faint smile on her face, "It’s not that ’ge’; it’s dove, as in the bird of peace. Bei Bei’s life horoscope is somewhat special, so I wanted to choose a more special name to suppress it."

Chu Jin didn’t hide the reason and spoke frankly.

"Oh, oh," Mo Qingyi suddenly realized, "It’s that dove. Actually, that name is quite nice, no matter how others call her, our Bei Bei always has the advantage. Jin, you’ve chosen a name with class."

Mo Qingyi gave Chu Jin a thumbs-up, "It seems Bei Bei is destined to be a boss."

"Then I’ll take your lucky words," Chu Jin said with a light smile.

Just then, a servant arrived with a postpartum meal.

Pregnant women are supposed to eat small and frequent meals.

Postpartum meals might look appealing, but in reality, they don’t taste very good, especially for someone like Chu Jin who loves spicy food. To her, these meals were simply inedible.

There were three main characteristics to summarize postpartum meals.

1. No salt.

2. Very oily.

3. Tasteless.

Chu Jin managed to eat only a little before she couldn’t take any more. But to ensure food for Bao Bao and Bei Bei, she still made an effort to eat a few more bites.

Seeing Chu Jin like this, Mo Qingyi asked with some confusion, "Jin, if someone didn’t know better, they might think you’re taking medicine! Is it really that unpleasant to eat?"

Chu Jin handed a pair of unused chopsticks to Mo Qingyi, "Try some and you’ll know."

Mo Qingyi took a bite and wanted to spit it out, but, sticking to the principle of not wasting food, she swallowed it down.

"Jin, why does it taste so bad? Is there no salt in the house? Why don’t you tell them to add more salt?"

Chu Jin helplessly raised her eyebrows, "Postpartum meals are like this. You can’t have salt right after giving birth."

After the full moon, she would definitely let herself go!

Right now, Chu Jin was looking forward with great anticipation to life after the full moon.

"My God, who decided that people can’t have salt during confinement? Having a baby is already hard enough, and now they can’t even have salt? That’s too much, isn’t it?" Mo Qingyi couldn’t understand this practice.

Chu Jin explained with a smile, "After giving birth, a woman’s body is much weaker than normal. If you eat and drink recklessly at this time, it may lead to bad sequelae in the future, so we need to be careful about what we eat."

"And how long do we have to be careful with what we eat?" Mo Qingyi continued to ask.

"About a month," Chu Jin said in a subdued tone.

Mo Qingyi’s eyes widened incredulously, "A whole month? That’s terrifying!"

Chu Jin said with a smile, "That’s how everyone gets through it."

"Men have it easy," Mo Qingyi continued to grumble, "All the hard and tiring work of pregnancy and childbirth is dumped on us women. Why is a woman’s life so hard? And every month we have to suffer the pain of bleeding..."

The fact was just as Mo Qingyi vividly described.

Chu Jin said with a light smile, "Actually, it’s not quite like that. Men also have their pressures. Everyone has their own sorrows. Although pregnancy and childbirth are a tough process, they also bring happiness. Just think, one day there will be a lovely child who calls you ’mom’, and you’ll feel that no matter what you give, it’s worth it. You’ll know when it’s your turn."

Chu Jin patted Mo Qingyi on the shoulder. This kind of understanding could only be felt after becoming a parent.

"That’s true," Mo Qingyi said, her eyes lighting up as she looked at Bao Bao and Bei Bei, "If I could have two adorable little treasures like these, I’d be willing to do anything."

Bao Bao and Bei Bei slept quietly, occasionally making sucking movements in their sleep—their tiny gestures were endearing.

Facing two such adorable babies every day made every bit of hardship worthwhile.

Downstairs,

Mo Zhixuan, Han Zixiu, and Duanmu Zhe, these three men had formed a table and were currently playing the card game "Fight the Landlord."

"Brother Jiu, do you have any more of those books you gave me last time?" Duanmu Zhe threw down a card and suddenly asked.

Hearing this, Han Zixiu immediately looked up at Mo Zhixuan.

Mo Zhixuan, this shameless guy, seems astoundingly abstinent, but in reality, he has plenty of tricks up his sleeve.

Last time, the book Mo Zhixuan gave was also read by Han Zixiu, who learned quite a bit from it.

Unexpectedly, this time Duanmu Zhe had asked Mo Zhixuan for a book.

It seems that Mo Zhixuan has quite a stockpile.

"I have none left," said Mo Zhixuan as he looked up at Duanmu Zhe with a cold expression, "Young man, I’d like to advise you to be healthy and not to fill your head with such unhealthy thoughts all the time." His words were intended for two people.

Mo Zhixuan spoke very earnestly, as if he himself was an epitome of health.

Han Zixiu narrowed his eyes.

This old, shameless Mo Zhixuan! To think he’s trying to lecture his brother-in-law in all sorts of ways!

Duanmu Zhe, unaware of the struggle between these two old men, continued, "Big Brother Jiu, can the book you gave me really make it possible to have twins?"

One and done, that’s what everyone is hoping for.

Mo Zhixuan glanced at Duanmu Zhe, his thin lips parted slightly.

Just when Duanmu Zhe thought Mo Zhixuan was going to impart some grand principle, Mo Zhixuan slowly added, "It mainly depends on..."

"Pfft!" Han Zixiu spat out the tea he had just swallowed.

Was Mo Zhixuan indirectly mocking him for being not good enough?

Sigh.

Knowing full well that Mo Zhixuan was addressing him, Han Zixiu was unable to retort.

After all, having a kid is the true measure of success.

He and Ding Siyu had been together for so many years, yet there was still no sign of activity. Could it really be a problem with himself?

At this thought, Han Zixiu felt a sense of defeat.

No matter the issue, Han Zixiu always had to compete with Mo Zhixuan.

This time, he had lost thoroughly.

Seeing Han Zixiu like this, Mo Zhixuan finally regained a sense of satisfaction. He patted Han Zixiu’s shoulder, "Don’t feel inferior! Although you’re not young anymore, your sister-in-law is still young. You’ll eventually have children."

Han Zixiu, that despicable man.

He often used "One tree of blooming begonias outshines the pear blossoms" to mock him.

Now, it was finally his turn to gloat.

The curve at the corner of Mo Zhixuan’s mouth was deep.

Han Zixiu cast a dark look at Mo Zhixuan, "Hah, having children is something to be proud of? I just don’t want kids. If I did, my son would already be fetching soy sauce, okay?"

Mo Zhixuan pressed his lips together in a smile, "I’m afraid it’s not that you don’t want to, but that my sister won’t bear you a child. Tsk tsk, Han Zixiu, I never expected someone as imposing as you to be actually henpecked! What a loser."

A big man, henpecked.

This joke could keep Mo Zhixuan laughing all day.

Han Zixiu snorted coldly, "Hey Mo, let’s not play the ’pot calling the kettle black,’ shall we? ’Why should kin slay kin’?"

Mo Zhixuan spoke as if he weren’t afraid of his wife at all.

"I’m not the same kind of man as you," said Mo Zhixuan in a deep voice, "I can keep Jin in line perfectly well. Can you make your sister-in-law bear you a child?"

Han Zixiu grinned without amusement, "I’ll reiterate once more, we don’t want one."

Ah! This Mo Zhixuan is getting more and more shameless!

Han Zixiu was angry.

For the first time in his life, he was about to lose to Mo Zhixuan!

In the past, he had always been on par with Mo Zhixuan.

Right then, a baby’s cry came from upstairs.

It was incredibly loud.

Mo Zhixuan immediately shook his head, exasperated yet boasting, "My daughter’s voice is so loud, I wonder who she takes after."

Duanmu Zhe asked curiously, "Big Brother Jiu, how do you know it’s Bei Bei crying?"

Mo Zhixuan spoke with feigned depth, "It might be a father-daughter telepathy, something you’ll understand when you become a father."

Duanmu Zhe: "..." Why did he even ask Mo Zhixuan that question?

Han Zixiu: "..." Mo Zhixuan, this shameless father-daughter bragging fiend!

Mo Zhixuan, feeling very pleased, took a sip of tea and continued, "That’s why I say, as men, we should have some guts. We definitely cannot let women lead us by the nose. Like with Jin and me, I’m the one who makes the call. Whatever I ask Jin to do, she does. If I say go east, Jin would never go west. You all should learn something, regain the sovereignty of being a man, and don’t wait until you’re old enough to be grandfathers before you become fathers."

Mo Zhixuan was now so inflated with pride that he couldn’t even find his sense of self.

Having finally found a sense of superiority in front of Han Zixiu, he naturally wanted to rub it in as much as possible.

The jab about becoming a father at grandfather’s age truly hit a nerve.

At that moment, Chu Jin’s voice came from upstairs, "Mo Zhixuan, come up and change Bao Bao’s diaper!"

Mo Zhixuan immediately stood up, "Alright, I’ll be right there."

These days, changing diapers had become part of Mo Zhixuan’s routine.

Not just diapers, he was also responsible for all the "poopy" ones...

To say more is just to speak of tears.

Hearing this, Han Zixiu’s lips curled into a smirk, "Mo Old Zhixuan, are you confused? A husband slave who needs to change diapers for his child actually talking to me about a man’s courage, are you sure you’re not feverish?"

There, now who’s being slapped in the face? Han Zixiu laughed triumphantly.

Mo Zhixuan’s expression didn’t change as he spoke slowly, "In front of my sister and Qingyi, naturally, I have to give Jin some face."

Han Zixiu looked at Mo Zhixuan, his voice tinged with challenge, "Try not going up then."

"A great man knows when to bend and when to stand." When it comes to pride, Jin is more important! So what if he’s henpecked? He accepts! Anyway, Han Zixiu isn’t any better than him!

Han Zixiu is even worse!
