Lin Cuicui was anxious, but she knew she couldn't put all the pressure on her youngest daughter; after all, her daughter was still just a child. Her daughter had already done enough, and she didn't want to cause her any more trouble.
Just then, the sound of a baby crying came from the main room.
Grandma Qiu entered the house while coaxing the child, saying, "Oh dear, quick, give our little darling something to eat, look how hungry we are."
Lin Cuicui quickly reached out and took the child in her arms. "Thank you for your hard work, Aunt Qiu. Please rest for a while. I'll feed the baby some milk."
She skillfully started feeding the child, but after sucking for a long time, little Xixi didn't get anything and started crying loudly.
Grandma Qiu was sitting calmly by the bed when she heard Xixi crying, so she quickly got up to check on her. "Oh dear, my little darling, what's wrong?"
Lin Cuicui also found it strange. Before giving birth to Xixi, she felt that Xixi was the happiest of her children. She felt that she had plenty of breast milk. At the time, Lin Cuicui thought it was because she had taken good care of her health during that period, otherwise her breast milk wouldn't seem so plentiful. But now, why is there no milk at all?
Lin Cuicui held her child in her arms, quietly leaning against the bed, her face slowly turning pale, her eyes revealing helplessness and exhaustion.
Having just gone through a difficult childbirth, she was under immense physical and mental stress. Now, discovering her milk had dried up, the brief sense of peace she had just regained vanished instantly. Her heart was filled with worry, while her baby cried incessantly from hunger.
Little Xixi was in good shape, and her crying was particularly loud in the not-so-quiet room, almost drowning out Grandma Qiu's voice.
Each of his cries was like a sharp blade, piercing Lin Cuicui's heart. She looked at the child with heartache, tears welling up in her eyes.
She desperately wanted to produce breast milk immediately so she could stop her baby from crying and feed him quickly. But she also knew the reason: if she couldn't resolve this inner conflict, her breast milk might not come back.
Lin Cuicui gently patted Xixi's swaddled arms, trying to soothe him, but Xixi's crying did not subside at all. Finally, unable to do anything else, Lin Cuicui, afraid that the child would cry himself sick, looked at Grandma Qiu: "Aunt Qiu, I suddenly have no breast milk. How about I ask my father to make some rice porridge for the child?"
Grandma Qiu noticed too. She sighed helplessly, picked up the child, and gently coaxed her before leaving the room. Only then did Lin Cuicui realize that Tang Yue was still sitting by her bedside. Mother and daughter stared at each other. Then, Lin Cuicui said somewhat helplessly, "Yueyue, you..."
Tang Yue blinked her big eyes. She wasn't a four-year-old; she naturally knew why Lin Cuicui didn't have breast milk. She hadn't said anything earlier because she was trying to figure out a solution. How were children raised in their area?
She genuinely didn't know that, since the youngest member was at least five years old when they entered the sect, and she hadn't witnessed anything like that before. Besides, she had never paid attention to her senior brothers and sisters raising children.
Tang Yue grabbed Lin Cuicui's hand, "Mom, if you don't have enough milk, Xixi will starve. Let me help you clear your meridians. Mom, you still have us, and we all need you. Don't worry too much about Dad."
Then Tang Yue whispered in Lin Cuicui's ear, "Mom, have you forgotten? Dad can already absorb spiritual energy. He will definitely be fine."
Lin Cuicui seemed to remember this matter. However, she was also able to absorb spiritual energy. She felt that her body was much better than before, but it wasn't like she could do everything.
Seeing the worry in her daughter's eyes, and thinking about how she had no breast milk and Xixi couldn't even get a full meal, Lin Cuicui silently told herself that she couldn't be discouraged or anxious. It would all pass, and everything would be alright.
Tang Yue had already begun to clear Lin Cuicui's meridians. Tang Yue knew that her mother's aptitude was not good. If it weren't for her transferring spiritual power to her mother several times, her mother would probably have been an ordinary person in this life.
But even though she can absorb spiritual energy now, it's still incredibly slow; she doesn't make much progress even after a whole night of cultivation. It's too difficult for her mother to reach the first level of Qi Refining on her own.
She planned to clear all of Lin Cuicui's meridians today. She didn't expect her mother to reach any cultivation level in the future, but at least she would be healthy and better off than others, and that would be enough for her.
Lin Cuicui closed her eyes and carefully sensed the path of Tang Yue's spiritual power flowing through her body. Before long, she seemed to hear a slight "crackling" sound coming from inside her body.
Lin Cuicui felt that this feeling was really amazing. With those clicking sounds, she felt that her body seemed to be undergoing some kind of qualitative change.
It seemed that her long-standing ailment had been cured, and the discomfort from childbirth had disappeared. Her chest was slowly swelling. Lin Cuicui smiled happily.
This process didn't last long. Tang Yue kept a close eye on Lin Cuicui's physical changes, and when she withdrew her hand, she could feel that her mother seemed to have started producing milk.
Tang Yue smiled and went out, just as Old Li came out carrying a bowl of millet soup.
"Aunt Qiu, do you think this is alright?"
Xixi seemed to have cried herself to sleep, nestled in Grandma Qiu's arms. Grandma Qiu glanced at the bowl of millet porridge Old Li handed her; it was quite thick. She sighed, "Oh, our little Xixi, she drank that first sip..."
Tang Yue quickly ran over, "Grandma Qiu, why don't you try bringing Xiao Xixi inside again? My mom says it seems like her milk has come in."
"real?"
Grandma Qiu didn't have time to say anything else, and carried Xixi into the house.
"How come it's already here? Quick, let Xixi try it."
Lin Cuicui smiled and took the child, "I don't know either, I just suddenly felt like I came down."
