Chapter 326: Mommy, Give Birth to a Younger Sister

Sister Wei, who had regained a portion of her original personality, started to talk more. However, this made the others’ hearts ache even more. The five kids were very sensitive to human emotions. Previously, because they weren’t familiar with her, when they’d seen that Sister Wei didn’t like them much, they deliberately hadn’t approached her.

After simply listening to Sister Wei talk about what had happened to her, the kids spoke to her and comforted her in their own way.

“Auntie Wei, do you know how to comb hair? Can you tie up my hair for me? I like the big bun behind your head.”

Sister Wei had only pulled her hair up into a bun. She was a little surprised but she quickly combed Little Bei’s hair.

Her hair had already grown long. She leaned against Sister Wei and asked her to comb her hair.

Sister Wei sensed Little Bei’s soft, leaning body and was a little stunned. At first, she was a little stiff, but later on, she relaxed and combed her hair for her.

Little Bei was very happy. “Thank you, Auntie Wei.” Her hair couldn’t be combed by an ordinary person. Only her mother and makeup artists could do it. However, her mother was also her costume and makeup artist now, so only she could do it.

Getting Auntie Wei to help her comb it meant that they were close. Little Bei felt that this way, Auntie Wei would know that she liked her a lot.

Xiao Wu’s method of comforting people hadn’t changed. He took out his harmonica and played it for Sister Wei.

Xiao Wu’s tune was really comforting. Sister Wei’s eyes lit up when she heard it.

Shao Xi took out the book he had published and specifically chose a travelogue. He signed it and wrote a dedication before giving it to Sister Wei. “Auntie Wei, this is my book. You can read it when you have nothing to do. If there are any parts that catch your interest, you can travel there to take a look when you have time and money.”

Sister Wei quickly took it. “Alright, thank you. I will.”

Upon opening the book, she saw a line of words on the title page. “To Auntie Wei, who wants revenge in the future. I hope you succeed and feel happy every day.”

Sister Wei smiled. “Thank you, thank you so much. I’ll take a good look.”

“Mm.” Shao Xi nodded, looking reserved. Sister Wei couldn’t tell if he was reserved or not, but she clearly saw that Shao Xi’s pocket had a hole. His hand was digging into it again and again.

Sister Wei remembered that this morning, she seemed to have heard Mu Jingzhe remind Shao Xi not to keep digging into his clothes, or he’d tear them again.

Shao Xi couldn’t let his hands stay idle and would subconsciously move them. The pockets of his clothes were always the first ones to suffer. He kept tearing them. As the pockets of the clothes Shao Xi was wearing today were exposed, it was obvious.

“Your pocket is torn again.”

Shao Xi lowered his head and looked at his exposed fingers. “…”

After a pause, Shao Xi pulled his hand back and patted his pocket, trying to make it look like there wasn’t a hole. However, he didn’t succeed. The hole… was very obvious.

Sister Wei watched his actions. “Doing this is useless. Forget it, I’ll help you sew it up.”

This was the first time Sister Wei had taken the initiative to help him. Shao Xi’s eyes lit up, and he immediately nodded. “Alright.” He didn’t want his mother to catch him.

Sister Wei quickly took Shao Xi with her and went to find a needle and thread box. Shao Xi stuck out his little stomach and asked her to help him sew it. Sister Wei’s hands were very skillful. Not only did she sew up the hole, but she also sewed a sunflower over it.

“Wow, it’s beautiful.” Shao Xi was pleasantly surprised. “Thank you, Auntie Wei. In the future, if my clothes accidentally tear again, can I look for you?”

“Yes.” Sister Wei paused before she nodded.

“It’s a deal then.” Shao Xi stretched out his fingers. “Pinky promise for a hundred years.”

Sister Wei was stunned for a moment before she stretched out her hand and promised Shao Xi.

Later on, whenever Shao Xi accidentally tore his clothes, he would look for Sister Wei. Many sunflowers appeared on his clothes one after another, and there were even other designs later on.

Sister Wei noticed that he liked digging into things too much. Later on, she found time to sew up all the places Shao Xi dug into, especially the pockets. No matter how much Shao Xi dug into them, he wouldn’t easily make a hole.

This would all happen in the future. At that moment, she watched Shao Xi skip away. Sister Wei stood up after a while and muttered, “Children can be so cute.”

From that moment onward, Sister Wei no longer repelled the five kids as much as before and dared to interact with them.

Mu Jingzhe had thought that Sister Wei didn’t like children. Later, she realized that Sister Wei didn’t dislike children. She was afraid of them.

Cao Yang, her biological son, had traumatized her too badly. He clearly had a harmless, cute face, but he could say the most vicious words and do the cruelest things. It was her impression of children previously that had led to her being afraid of children. She feared that these children would suddenly change expression or come to hit her and scratch her eyes.

However, Shao Xi, Little Bei, Xiao Wu, and the rest slowly changed Sister Wei’s impression of them.

Sister Wei’s world had become better, but the children had a dream that night.

Like many children in the past, Little Bei used to like playing house and pretending to be a princess and a mother. However, that night, when she dreamed of playing house and heard that everyone wanted her to play the role of a mother, she was so afraid that she kept running. She was so frightened that she woke up immediately.

When she woke up and realized that she was dreaming, she heaved a sigh of relief. However, she was a little afraid when she saw Mu Jingzhe.

“Mommy, can you not give birth to many children in the future?”

Mu Jingzhe patted Little Bei and was about to continue sleeping. When she heard this, she was stunned. “What? Why are you suddenly saying this?”

“Giving birth is too dangerous.” Little Bei was afraid that Mu Jingzhe would leave them like Bai Lu and was even more afraid of having to choose between saving the mother or the baby.

Mu Jingzhe understood. “Were you frightened today?”

“Mm, if I lose you because of a younger brother or sister, I’ll hate them. If I had a younger brother like Cao Yang, I’d beat him to death.” Little Bei was indignant.

When Mu Jingzhe heard Little Bei’s words, she didn’t know whether she should laugh or cry. Her heart felt a little warm. “No, don’t be afraid. This is just an exception. It’s a very special situation.”

“That’s true. I’ve never thought of such a thing before. Mommy, can you just give birth to one child? I’m afraid.”

Mu Jingzhe laughed and thought for a moment before agreeing. “Sure.”

Who knew if she would give birth in the future? She might not even give birth at all. Besides, she didn’t want to give birth to many children. In modern times, many people only gave birth to one child. Now that she already had these five children, giving birth to another one would make a perfect six[1].

Mu Jingzhe smiled at the thought of this.

Little Bei laughed when she heard Mu Jingzhe agree. “Mommy, when are you going to give birth to a younger sibling?”

Mu Jingzhe: “It’s still early. It’s still too early to say.” Things weren’t even set in stone yet.

“That’s good. I would also prefer it to happen later.” Little Bei heaved a sigh of relief, indicating that her little heart still needed some time to recover.

Mu Jingzhe looked at Little Bei. “Little Bei, why are you so cute?”

“Mommy, you’re cute too.” Little Bei hugged Mu Jingzhe. “Oh right, Mommy. Can I have a younger sister? I don’t have an older sister or a younger one. I only have older brothers and a younger brother.

“If I have a younger sister, I can play with her in the future. I can buy her beautiful little dresses and comb her hair. I can also dress her up nicely every day.”
