Chapter 625 Your mother only has you as her child, and you will always be her only child.
When Li San Niang woke up, it was already late afternoon. The first thing she saw when she opened her eyes was her precious baby.
"My dear child, come here and give your mother a kiss."
Dewdrop was obedient and tried to climb into bed after taking off her shoes. Li Sanniang pulled her up with both hands, held her in her arms, and kissed Dewdrop on the forehead.
"Why are you staying here with your mother? Didn't you go out to play? Do you miss your mother?"
Dewdrop nodded and looked up at Li San Niang, saying, "Dewdrop misses Mother. Grandma said Mother should get up and eat."
"Haha, yes, Mother will get up in a little while."
What did Pearl eat for lunch? Is her tummy full?
Dewdrop raised her hand to touch her chubby little belly and replied to Li San Niang with a smile, "Grandma stewed meat for Dewdrop to eat, and Dewdrop ate a lot and is full."
Not only did Dewdrop answer Li San Niang's question, but she also patted her little belly twice.
Li San Niang coaxed Lu Zhu'er with a few more words, and just as she was about to get up, she heard Lu Zhu'er ask with a puzzled look, "Mother, is there a little sixth son in the family?"
Li San Niang held Lu Zhu'er in her arms. Seeing the question on her face, she nodded and answered, "Yes, your aunt gave birth to Xiao Liu Lang, and you'll be an older sister again."
Dewdrop nodded. She now understood what it meant to be an older sister. After all, Kogoro was already over a year old and running around everywhere. She spent her days at home watching Kogoro being naughty, so she naturally understood these things.
However, this time Dewdrop asked Li San Niang a question that Li San Niang had never expected.
Dewdrop looked up at Li San Niang with a questioning and curious tone. She asked, "Mother, Second Aunt gave birth to Little Fifth Brother, and First Aunt gave birth to Little Sixth Brother. When will Mother give birth to Little Seventh Brother?"
Is it next year?
"Will Pearl be able to be a senior sister again next year?"
Not content with just saying that, Dewdrop looked at Li San Niang's belly, then reached out her little hand to touch the flesh on Li San Niang's stomach, looking at Li San Niang with great anticipation.
Although Dewdrop is still young, she already understands that she is the only one in the family born to Li San Niang.
Although the rest of the Li family treated her very well, ever since she saw Li Ersao give birth to Xiao Wulang while heavily pregnant, Li Dasao also gave birth to Xiao Liulang while heavily pregnant, and there was also their pet dog, Xiao Huang, who had previously given birth to three puppies.
There were also three sows with piglets that Li San Niang bought in order to perform a cesarean section on Li Da Sao.
These thoughts made Lu Zhu'er want Li San Niang to give her a blood relative from the same mother.
This was something Li San Niang hadn't expected, and she couldn't help but laugh out loud, thinking to herself, "Raising children is truly an interesting thing."
This child changes his mind constantly, every day is a different day; he's truly like an inexhaustible treasure trove.
Dewdrop didn't understand. She looked at Li Sanniang laughing heartily and frowned in confusion. Her expression only made Li Sanniang laugh even harder.
After laughing, Li San Niang straightened her expression, hugged Lu Zhu'er, looked into her eyes seriously, and said, "Zhu'er, I'm afraid I can't fulfill your wish."
Dewdrop's round eyes were full of question marks. Li San Niang lowered her head and kissed her forehead before explaining to Dewdrop in language that a child could understand.
"Mother can't give birth to Xiao Qilang to keep Luzhu'er company. Luzhu'er will have Xiao Wulang and Xiao Liulang as her younger brothers to keep her company in the future."
Moreover, look, Xiao Wulang was born to your second maternal aunt and second maternal uncle together, while Xiao Liulang was born to your eldest maternal aunt and eldest maternal uncle together.
As for Xiao Huang's puppies, they were born to Xiao Huang and another dog outside;
The piglets raised in the side room were born to the sow and the boar together.
Mother cannot give birth to Xiao Qilang by herself alone.
Because her mother only wanted one baby, Dewdrop, she wanted to watch Dewdrop grow up and stay with her.
Dewdrop seemed to have accepted Li Sanniang's words. She may have also sensed something else different, namely that Li Sanniang said she was just a person.
"Mother, Father?"
Li San Niang reached out and flicked Lu Zhu'er's nose, explaining to her, "Your father and mother have divorced."
Have you forgotten the baby your mother and you saw at your father's house last time? That baby was born to your father and his new wife; he is your half-brother.
Mother only has dewdrops, and from now on, Mother will only have dewdrops.
Li San Niang's act of feigning pitifulness worked. Lu Zhu'er quickly hugged Li San Niang and said with heartache, "Lu Zhu'er only wants Mother. Zhu'er will stay with Mother. Mother, wait for Zhu'er to grow up. Zhu'er will be good to Mother."
"Haha, haha, my sweet baby, let your mother give you a kiss."
After playing around with Lu Zhu'er for a while, Li San Niang got out of bed with Lu Zhu'er. When the two arrived at the main hall of the Li family, Li's mother got up and went to the kitchen.
A moment later, they came in carrying a tray. "I saved some food for you, eat up."
Your sister-in-law's side, Dr. Liang and your father discussed a prescription, and your second brother just finished brewing the medicine and sent it over.
Your sister-in-law is asleep now, and your older brother is keeping her company.
Don't worry about it. Go eat and get some rest. You've been up all night; two or three hours of sleep won't be enough.
"Thank you for your hard work, Mother. I'll go see my sister-in-law after I finish eating. I won't feel at ease if I don't."
While eating, Li San Niang listened to her mother's idle chatter.
"It seems your sister-in-law is about to get through this ordeal, and your second brother has ordered a lot of charcoal. I'm thinking of giving your sister-in-law a double confinement period, just like when Lan Niang gave birth to Xiao Wu."
Also, Baoya asked me what to do with the three sows and more than a dozen piglets kept in the side room.
Feeding them every day costs a lot of money. If it weren't for your second brother's cleanliness and the daily cleaning and washing, the smell would be unbearable. Thankfully, the weather has gotten colder.
When Li San Niang heard her mother mention it, she remembered the three sows she had bought.
"Mother, let's find a butcher to slaughter them all. The end of the year is approaching, so it's good to keep them for eating."
If you can't finish the meat, it's good to give it away.
The eldest sister-in-law's family, the second sister-in-law's family, the eldest uncle's family, and even the master's family are all fine; any amount can be distributed.
However, Mother, I asked Master and Junior Brother before, and Master will not leave Chang'an this year; he will spend the New Year in Chang'an.
I also asked Linglan and Fuling to come to our house around the Lunar New Year.
This year there are many people in our family, so Mother, please make sure to leave plenty of meat for us. We don't want to run out and have to spend money to buy more.
After learning from Li San Niang how to handle the sow she had bought, Li's mother nodded and even got up to pour Li San Niang a glass of water.
