Chapter 1184 The Father of the Children Is Inhumane
Qiao Nan did not know whether to cry or laugh upon knowing this. “Am I drinking it to satisfy my hunger? I am drinking it because I have to drink it. This soup is simply unbearable.”
But the problem was the soup could help increase her milk. If she did not drink it, her triplets would not have milk.
This was not a matter of taste, and she was left with no choice.
As Zhai Hua learned more and more about the hard work of a mother, she gradually changed her perception of Miao Jing.
She might not be aware of other things, but she knew that she and Zhai Sheng had breast milk when they were babies.
She did not remember that she had breast milk when she was young.
However, she had memories of Zhai Sheng drinking milk in her mother’s arms.
Zhai Hua asked Old Master Zhai secretly if her mother drank the soup that Qiao Nan had when she was breastfeeding Zhai Sheng and her.
Old Master Zhai gave her a positive answer.
The triplets might have a big appetite, but they were still young. If not for the fact that there were so many of them, there was no need for Qiao Nan to be in a hurry to increase her breast milk.
Back then, Miao Jing was able to feed Zhai Hua and Zhai Sheng when they were still young.
However, by the time they were four months old, they had a huge appetite.
Perhaps the children in the Zhai family had a huge appetite. Zhai Hua had an equally big appetite as Zhai Sheng who was a boy. In order to feed her children, Miao Jing had to drink the tonics to increase her milk.
After getting her question answered, Zhai Hua did not behave especially affectionately toward Miao Jing. However, instead of getting irritated with her nagging and agreeing with her overtly but opposing her in secret to please her, she changed her attitude toward Miao Jing.
Compared to the past, she would take her words seriously.
Zhai Hua used to think that her mother never really took care of her, but she gradually understood that she was loved and taken care of by her mother.
It was just that she was young and she did not have memories of it. She did not understand that as a mother, Miao Jing had always been caring for them.
Zhai Sheng was smarter than Zhai Hua. Upon hearing her words, he more or less knew what was going on. “Nan Nan still has to go to school and the triplets will feel hungry many times a day. Can’t we give them baby formula?”
Compared to the children, Qiao Nan was the apple of his eye. She would always be his priority.
Previously, he had already told Qiao Nan that it was alright if she was pregnant. After giving birth to the children, she could still go on with life as per normal. Someone else would take care of the children.
Today, Zhai Sheng saw for himself how they would cry and move about and was amazed at how adorable and chubby they were. But even so, he did not want Nan Nan to overwork herself.
“No.” Zhai Hua was the first to reject. “It is good for babies to have breast milk. They will be stronger and they will not fall sick easily.” She and Zhai Sheng had breast milk when they were young and they seldom fell sick since then.
“Nan Nan, are you able to take it?” Zhai Sheng was inexperienced, but that did not mean that he was clueless.
Qiao Nan had to provide the triplets with the breast milk. It was very draining and exhausting to feed the triplets.
Furthermore, Qiao Nan wanted to go according to her original plan to complete her studies. Feeding her babies would be a heavy burden on her.
Qiao Nan cradled San Bao in her arms even though she was full and fast asleep. “I am okay for the time being.”
“Alright. If you feel that it is too tiring, you must tell Mom. I noticed that we have a lot of baby formula at home. They are from overseas and there should not be any problem with their quality.” Zhai Sheng, who just came home, had a look around the house.
When Zhai Sheng came back home in the past, he felt that the house was without any warmth.
When he reached home today, he was welcomed by the smell of milk.
Ever since he married Nan Nan, everything had changed at home.
“You are too inhumane. You favor your wife over your kids.” Zhai Hua knew that Zhai Sheng was worried for his wife and he wanted his children to have baby formula instead. “Da Bao, you are so miserable. Your dad doesn’t love the three of you. Don’t worry. As your auntie, I will make sure that all of you won’t suffer.”
Zhai Hua touched Da Bao’s chubby cheeks. It was smooth and tender. Zhai Hua could not stop herself from touching him.
After the triplets were born, Zhai Hua would refuse to go out on dates with Tian Dong.
There was once when they only left the house for around twenty minutes and Zhai Hua insisted that the triplets must be crying at home. She believed that her mother and the auntie could not cope with the triplets and she had to help them out.
Since Zhai Hua had said so, Tian Dong could do nothing about it as well. Since then, Tian Dong and Zhai Hua would not go out for a movie, have meals, or shop around. Instead, they would stay at the Zhai family’s residence and they would carry the babies, change their diapers, and feed them!
Other than Zhai Hua, who was adept at taking care of the triplets, if Tian Dong, their future uncle, was at the Zhai family’s residence today, he would do a better job at taking care of the babies than their father, Zhai Sheng.
“Stop your nonsense.” Miao Jing smacked Zhai Hua’s hands. “Da Bao has just fallen asleep. Don’t disturb him. The babies may be young, but they are very intelligent. You should not shoot your mouth off in front of them. When Zhai Sheng and you were at a young age, both of you were very smart and crafty. Don’t think that they are clueless as they are still young.”
Her grandchildren were the smartest children in the world.
Zhai Hua snorted, but she did not rebut Miao Jing. Instead, she turned to pull Er Bao’s tiny hands.
Er Bao had his fill and he was tired from crying just now. Zhai Hua was confident that he would not wake up even if she pulled his tiny hands.
Miao Jing shook her head angrily. To think that Hua Hua was an aunt, yet she was so insensible.
Miao Jing turned to look at Zhai Sheng and Qiao Nan. “Zhai Sheng, Nan Nan is just back from school. The schoolbag is very heavy. Can you help Nan Nan bring it back to the room?”
Her son had been away from home for more than half a year. Now that he was back, his eyes were fixed on Nan Nan and he could not take his eyes off her.
As his mother, Miao Jing could not possibly hinder her son. She would allow her son and daughter-in-law to have some private time.
The triplets had just been fed and they would be quiet for at least one to two hours. Now was the right time for her son to bring Nan Nan away with him. If the triplets woke up and pestered Nan Nan, her son would not be able to spend some private time with Nan Nan.
“Sure.” Zhai Sheng’s eyes lit up. Without waiting for Qiao Nan to give her comments, he grabbed Qiao Nan’s schoolbag, held Qiao Nan by the waist, and carried Qiao Nan with him.
Qiao Nan felt that she was being lifted off the floor.
Qiao Nan blushed, and in no time, she was no longer in the living room but in their room. Qiao Nan fell backward onto the soft bed.
Qiao Nan, who was placed on the bed, bounced due to the spring mattress. “B-brother Zhai…”
