Chapter 25: Erni Is Going to Lose Her Mother

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Erniang was breastfeeding Bruiser and listening to the sisters. Although she did not understand what Sanni was talking about, she could feel that she was very happy.

After Bruiser had eaten enough and burped, Erniang said to Erni, “Erni, bring Xiaomi here. Your younger sister wants to drink milk.”

“Okay.” Erni quickly carried Xiaomi over and heaved a long sigh of relief when she returned her to her mother.

Seeing Erni’s adult-like appearance, Erniang smiled and said, “Erni, don’t carry her for so long in the future. You’re still young. If you’re too tired and your hands are sore, you’ll drop your sister to the ground.”

Erni wrinkled the tip of her nose. “Then can I carry my younger brother? He is small, not heavy.”

I’m not heavy! Xiaomi bared her fangs and brandished her claws in Erniang’s arms. I’m a normal baby size. Bruiser is a weak chicken! He’s not even worthy of a kick from me!

Erniang quickly patted Xiaomi’s back and fed her milk. “Alright, alright. You’ll eat soon. Stop shouting.”

She thought that Xiaomi was hungry.

Xiaomi hummed as she drank her milk. She decided that when she grew up, she would tell her second sister that she was not heavy at all! It was clearly her second sister who was weak!

When Erniang saw Xiaomi’s cute appearance, she smiled even more beautifully. “Okay, Erni will carry Little Brother in the future. Little Brother is very light. Erni can carry him.”

They had eaten well and had enough milk recently. The two children had grown a lot, but compared to Xiaomi, Bruiser was still a little inferior. He was even a little smaller in size than Xiaomi when she was born.

However, Erniang was not discouraged. Back then, she was worried that her child would not live long. But now, the child was still alive and he was also healthy. Although he was not as lively as Xiaomi, Erniang was already very satisfied.

When Erni heard her mother’s agreement, she immediately picked up her brother happily. “Bruiser, Second Sister will take you to see the hares.”

As she spoke, she ran happily to the bamboo basket and introduced the hares to her younger brother, just as she did with her younger sister. Aside from substituting ‘Brother’ for ‘Sister,’ she did not change a word!

When Xiaomi heard this, she complained angrily in her heart. My second sister is a scumbag. Her coaxing words are the same! I’m angry!

Fortunately, her stomach growled and she turned her attention to her breakfast. Her cheeks puffed up.

Sigh, breast milk was indeed delicious. Her mother ate well, and the taste of her milk had improved. It was unlike milk powder, which always tasted the same. If not for the fact that she had no choice, she would have gotten tired of drinking it.

As she complained, she happily sucked milk without any delay.

By the time she had her fill, Dawa had brought the family’s breakfast to the room.

In the past, they would eat in the kitchen. Jiang Hu would serve Erniang food.

Later on, the whole family would eat together at a small table in the bedroom. This seemed to make everyone even happier.

Erniang felt that she had almost recovered. In the past, when she was in the village, many people could rest for three to four days after giving birth. She had already recuperated for more than 20 days.

Therefore, after dinner, she wanted to go out and tidy up the vegetable garden.

However, just as she reached the door, Erni hugged her leg. “Mommy, where are you going?”

Erniang stroked Erni’s head. “Didn’t you just say that the weeds in the vegetable garden grow very quickly? Mom will pluck the weeds.”

“No, no.” Erni shook her head like a rattle. “Daddy said that Mommy hasn’t recovered yet and can’t go out.”

Erniang said helplessly, “I’ve long recovered. Look, I’m so energetic now.”

As she spoke, she lifted her feet forcefully and wanted to walk out. When Xiaomi heard this, she was speechless!

You want to go out and work before one month is up? Do you still want your body?

She was about to activate her ultimate weapon— bawling, but Erni beat her to it!

“Wow, wow, wow! I’m going to lose my Mommy. Dad said that if my mother doesn’t listen and goes out to work, she’ll get sick. If she’s sick, she’ll be gone. Erni is going to become a motherless child. Erni is going to be beaten to death by her stepmother. Ahhh~”

She cried her heart out. Xiaomi’s opened mouth immediately closed. This did not give her a chance to make a contribution at all!

Erni said she’s going to lose Mommy. What the hell about a stepmother? Why didn’t Daddy teach her something good?

However, this seemed to be a better idea.

Xiaomi was once again surprised by her father’s educational philosophy. This, this is a little ahead of time.

Dawa, who was washing the dishes, ran over quickly. When he saw his mother standing at the door, he hurriedly pushed Erniang into the house.

“Mom, go back quickly. Dad said that you can’t come out. You have to rest well!” He was so frightened that his face turned pale.

Seeing the siblings’ intense reactions, Erniang did not insist. She took the opportunity to retreat into the room and waited until Dawa closed the door. Then she hugged Erni, who was breathless from crying, and looked at Dawa.

“What’s wrong? I just want to go to the vegetable garden to take a look and pluck some weeds. Why are both of you crying like this?”

Previously, when she heard Erni’s cries, she thought that it was just a child’s words. But looking at Dawa’s reaction now, she felt that the matter seemed to be a little serious.

Dawa blocked the door, as if he was afraid that his mother was going out.

“Mom, Dad said that if you don’t rest well after giving birth, you will fall sick. It’s a very serious and unbearable illness.”

Xiaomi nodded repeatedly. Yes, confinement sickness is a lifelong illness. If one is overly tired during confinement, one’s lifespan will be shortened!

Fortunately, her father had instructed her eldest brother and second sister in time. Otherwise, she would have to be the one activating the divine technique!

Erniang did not know whether to laugh or cry. Hu was really something. He actually used such a thing to scare the children and make them watch her so closely.

No wonder when Hu was not at home, the two children were unwilling to go out to play. Even if the children in the village came to look for them, they would not go. They had to stay at home and look after her.

Looking at Dawa’s nervous expression, Erniang was afraid that if she forced her way out, he might cry like Erni. She had to give up on the idea of going out.

“Alright, alright, alright. I won’t go out anymore. Don’t be nervous. I’ll go out when Daddy says I can, okay?”

Erniang sighed helplessly and felt a little happy. Even when her in-laws were in charge in the past, Hu would try his best to treat her well discreetly.

Now that they were separated from her in-laws, Hu treated her well openly. She did not have to worry about being lectured.

However, when she thought of her in-laws, Erniang was a little worried. She wondered how they were doing and if they had settled down.

Back then, when they were fleeing together, the enemy had suddenly attacked during a break. Everyone was running in all directions. Because she had just become pregnant, she experienced a strong reaction. She walked slowly and was left behind. In the end, Hu found her with the two children.

After that, they got separated from her in-laws. It had been more than half a year.

However, Hu did not say anything about looking for his parents after that. Erniang thought that there might be something else going on, but Hu had never told her, so she could not ask further.

Erniang was distracted. She was sitting on the bed in a daze with Sanni in her arms. Dawa was relieved.

“Mom, rest well. I’ll go pull the weeds.” After Dawa finished speaking to his mother, he looked at Erni, who was still sobbing, with a straight face. “Erni, don’t cry. Look after Mom, do you hear me?!”

He really had the dignity of an elder brother.

“Sniff~Yes!” As she nodded vigorously, she did not forget to sniff. She was very cute.

Eldest Brother and Second Sister are awesome! Xiaomi likes you!

Then Xiaomi babbled. Second Sister, don’t cry. Xiaomi will play with you~

As expected, Erni’s attention was quickly drawn to her sister.
