Joyful Motherhood in a Rural Family-Chapter 589 - : How Could She Be Mistaken?
Chapter 589: Chapter 589: How Could She Be Mistaken?
Thinking back on her two fated children, there was a flash of sadness in her eyes. She decided to head back and prepare properly.
She hadn’t expected that Liu Sisi would have triplets. Therefore, when she was preparing her meeting gifts, she had prepared one for a boy and one for a girl. Now both gifts would be given out, she would have to quickly prepare another one.
As soon as everyone left, Di Xuan, who had been hiding by the pillar slowly sauntered out, looking absolutely forlorn.
Stepping out of the small courtyard, he saw Di Ying playing joyfully in the pavilion. Her cheerful laughter echoed occasionally from her small mouth, a sound so pleasant to hear, hitting right in the heart.
Ah, how good YingEr is!
Di Xuan couldn’t help but look up and sigh.
Girls would eventually get married, and there’s no need to worry about anything else. Therefore, whether his mother gave birth to a baby brother or sister, it was all the same to her. But it was different for him!
Di’s family belongs to him, Di Xuan. No one can take it away!
No one!
Soon everyone dispersed, with only Elderly Mr. Di and Second Son He, who were still bickering in the pavilion corridor of the small courtyard.
“Sisi, are you tired? Hungry? Do you want me to bring you something to eat?”
The moment Liu Sisi’s eyelashes fluttered, Di Yelei felt it and asked hastily.
“Water, I want to drink water.”
Liu Sisi instinctively requested what she needed most.
There wasn’t a part of her body that didn’t hurt! Especially her lower abdomen, the spasms of pain had awoken her from her sleep.
“Alright, water.”
Di Yelei naturally helped her sit up, carefully placing two pillows behind her, and casually picked up the large bowl behind him, his smile unusually comforting.
“The boiled water is now warm. Drink up. Here’s the soup medicine prescribed by Old He, drink this first. The chicken soup is being warmed on the stove, it’ll be brought in a while.”
Liu Sisi didn’t refuse. Enduring the pain, she gulped down the boiled water and the soup medicine, and pushed away the preserved fruit that Di Yelei offered.
“I’m not eating. Where’s the baby? Bring the baby to me.”
She hadn’t even seen the baby that had fallen from her body until now!
“Alright, I’ll bring the baby to you.”
Di Yelei, looking relaxed, carefully lifted the baby from the cradle, “Because we didn’t anticipate the situation now, the only one here with breastmilk is Ms. Gao. I’ve asked people to find a nanny, don’t worry.”
In the large cradle were three swaddled babies side by side. The smallest one near the inside was a girl. Her little red face hidden inside the large swaddle was exceedingly adorable.
Liu Sisi carefully took the baby, unable to resist gently rocking, looking extraordinarily clumsy.
“Ah ah ah, good little treasure…” Liu Sisi instinctively cooed softly.
Di Yelei turned around to pick up the second child, “This little guy is the most well-behaved. Look at his eyebrows. Do they look like mine?”
Liu Sisi hurriedly made room with one hand to take this little guy. Looking at the eyebrows that Di Yelei pointed at, she couldn’t help but laugh! In fact, even though the infant only had a palm-sized face, the two strands of eyebrows were a spitting image of Di Yelei– long, sword-like eyebrows reachinginto the hair.
“Yes, it’s exactly like you. Quick, bring the littlest one over so I can see. Hurry, hurry!”
Feeling ecstatic, Liu Sisi repeatedly urged.
“Alright, I’ll go bring him. Let’s go…let’s go see your mother.”
Di Yelei, full of excitement, walked over to the last child and was about to bend down to pick him up.
Liu Zhi’er happened to be carrying a bowl of chicken soup in at that moment. The sight before her eyes startled her into a reflexive shout.
“Oh my!——” fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm
At her outcry, Di Yelei instinctively withdrew his hand and turned to look at the door.
Noticing the chicken soup in Liu Zhi’er’s hand, he quickly turned around, took two large steps toward her, and took the soup from her.
“How are you doing? Did the soup burn your hand? Quickly rinse it with cold water. It will make it feel much better. Leave the rest to me.”
Liu Zhi’er’s face wasn’t looking so well, upon hearing these words she had no choice but to force a slight smile and replied softly, “What are you saying, brother-in-law? It’s only right for me as the elder sister to help younger sister with her confinement.” Di Yelei’s biological mother is already deceased, normally it’s the mother’s family who should be taking care of the newborn. Nowadays, it’s perfectly reasonable for his own elder sister to do so instead.
These words softened the smile on Di Yelei’s face considerably.
“We’re family, there’s no need for so much formality. If you need anything, Second Sister, don’t hesitate to ask!”
After saying this, he carefully set the chicken soup down on the table: “How about this? Sisi, do you want to set the naughty ones aside for now, and we can continue after we drink the soup?”
“That sounds good.”
Naturally, Liu Sisi would not object. Purely drinking medicine cannot help rebuild one’s body, real food is required for wounds to heal quickly.
Seeing Di Yelei busily putting the child from Liu Sisi’s hands back into the crib, Liu Zhi’er inexplicably let out a sigh of relief.
Then she felt somewhat guilty. They would find out this kind of thing sooner or later. Instead of letting them be disappointed in the end, it would be better not to give them hope at all from the start.
With this thought in mind, she could no longer hold back. Biting her lip bravely, she whispered.
“Sisi, Second Sister has something to tell you.”
“Second Sister, whatever it is, just say it. Just now Yelei also said, as long as we are able to do it, we will definitely try our best.”
Liu Sisi had just freed both her hands. She was currently tidying up the tightly wrapped headscarf on her head. During the hot weather in June, with her head wrapped in a thick towel, she could have been smothered!
“I don’t mean that … I mean …”
Liu Zhi’er stammered, and for the longest time, she couldn’t get to the point.
“Don’t be anxious, Second Sister, take your time.” Liu Sisi had just finished a bowl of chicken soup and felt her body’s strength returning.
“What I mean is, I …”
“Wah…wah wah…”
Suddenly, a loud crying sound came from the farthest edge of the crib, instantly turning Liu Zhi’er’s face pale! She couldn’t utter the rest of her words.
The crying came from the outermost edge!
That position, that position, how…how is this possible?
The child was supposed to be a stillbirth, how could she have been mistaken?
Liu Zhi’er couldn’t hold back her shock anymore. She rushed over to the crib and bent down to look.
The little guy was kicking around energetically with his frail little hands and feet. His red face didn’t have the discoloration from when she had wrapped him up earlier, he was clearly a healthy baby.
As she bent over to pick up the child, she felt like her brain wasn’t functioning, was it…could it be that she was mistaken earlier?
