CHAPTER 314: CHAPTER 314: JUST STARTED ACTING UP

Mrs. Xu’s funeral had been busy for several days. Fortunately, the date chosen by the Yin Yang Master for the burial was soon, and Mrs. Xu was properly buried in peace. However, Mrs. Xu’s first seven days of mourning had not yet passed, so Xu Xiuxiu and her sisters were still busy. Xu Xiuxiu didn’t even understand how, after someone dies, there could suddenly be so many things to handle, so much so that she even couldn’t find time to go to Song Family Village to check on the three children. This truly made her both worried and frustrated.

"Children at home are all quite fine, you don’t have to worry!" Father Song had been helping out at the Xu Family like a relative for the past few days. Guessing that Xu Xiuxiu might come by on behalf of his daughter-in-law to check if he was having a hard time, and observing Xu Xiuxiu’s hesitant face, he proactively reassured her just as she was about to ask.

"That’s good." With Father Song’s comforting words, Xu Xiuxiu felt somewhat relieved. However, she hadn’t expected that on the sixth night of Mrs. Xu’s mourning, an unexpected turmoil would erupt in the usually unsettled Song Family.

After the incident where Little Baby was scalded, Song Chengguang might have developed a psychological shadow in his young heart. Therefore, while the three children were at the Song Family’s house, he was almost inseparable from his brother and sister, watching over them extremely closely. Except for Mrs. Song, he would be anxious if anyone else touched his siblings.

Originally, Wang Qinghua’s due date was approaching, and she generally did not leave her bedroom. However, who knew what got into her, she, usually lying in her room and barking orders, uncharacteristically walked out. With her big belly, she even went to see the boy and girl twins. Already intimidating with such a huge belly, upon entering the room, Song Chengguang watched her like a hawk, particularly uneasy. When he saw her even attempt to touch Little Moon’s cheek, he immediately and quickly intercepted, "Aunt, please don’t touch my brother, he’s sleeping!"

Song Chengguang’s tone was slightly defensive.

"What, I can’t touch him now? What, is your brother made of gold?" Wang Qinghua, who already had a tough personality, glared at Song Chengguang upon hearing his words. If it weren’t for her being heavily pregnant, suspecting herself even of carrying twins, she wouldn’t have come to see Xu Xiuxiu’s children. But with such a big belly, she thought that she might at least bear a son, right? Therefore, she had come to try her luck with the twins’ fortune by merely taking a look. But seeing Song Chengguang’s guarded attitude, her expression completely soured.

"Touching him will make him uncomfortable," Song Chengguang stated bluntly, without mincing his words.

"I still insist on touching him," Wang Qinghua, flaunting her belly proudly for half a year in the Song Family, who dared to disagree with her? Even her own precious daughter had to obediently listen to her, enduring hits without daring to squeak. No one dared upset her enough—Mrs. Song, despite her discontent, still kept a pleasing smile on her face when dealing with her. So when Song Chengguang spoke with such an attitude, Wang Qinghua immediately became furious and reached out to poke Little Moon’s cheek. Her fingernails were quite long, and if she actually poked Little Moon’s cheek, it would surely turn red or even break the skin.

As an older brother, Song Chengguang had promised his mother he would take good care of his siblings. He was determined to fulfill this task, but seeing Wang Qinghua behave like this, he couldn’t help but push her hand away. His intention was to swat her hand away, but Wang Qinghua didn’t expect Song Chengguang to react so, and, caught unprepared, she twisted her waist. This infuriated action caused her to take a deep breath and she was about to burst into curses.

But, unfortunately, just then, her belly began to hurt intensely. Having had children before, Wang Qinghua knew what this probably meant and then started to scream like a slaughtering pig.

"Murder! Murder!"

"Wow... Mom... Mom..." Wang Qinghua’s loud scream woke up Little Baby and Little Moon, even the brave Song Chengguang got scared by Wang Qinghua’s yelling until he heard the twins crying and snapped back to comfort the twins, "Little brother, little sister, don’t cry, don’t cry, don’t be afraid, brother is here! Brother will protect you!" he said while keeping an eye on Wang Qinghua.

Wang Qinghua’s stomach started to hurt painfully, she was already sitting on the edge of the bed holding her belly in horror and her legs were starting to give way, but after hearing Song Chengguang’s words of comfort to his siblings, she opened her mouth and started cursing Song Chengguang fiercely, "You little jerk, how dare you hit me... Just wait, I tell you, if anything happens to my son in my belly, I will make you pay with your life." Wang Qinghua cursed sharply and viciously, her eyes looking truly cannibalistic.

Song Chengguang listened in panic and helplessly, then his little short legs tried hard to climb onto the bed to hug his brother and sister, "Don’t cry, don’t cry, brother is here! Brother will protect you..." Song Chengguang comforted his siblings, tears starting to fall from his eyes, probably scared by Wang Qinghua’s viciousness, yet his little chubby hands still gently patted Little Moon and Little Baby, mimicking Xu Xiuxiu who usually soothes the twins, crying and watching out for Wang Qinghua.

Meanwhile, Mrs. Song, who was in the kitchen making old hen soup for Wang Qinghua and steaming a custard for the twins, ran into the house when she heard the noise and saw Wang Qinghua’s stomach attacking in the room while Song Chengguang protected the two little ones at the side, with Little Baby and Little Moon waking up and crying loudly because of Wang Qinghua’s scream.

"What’s the matter! What’s the matter! Qinghua, are you having contractions?" Mrs. Song didn’t have time to deal with her three crying grandchildren, she asked Wang Qinghua, who had a ghostly pale face and a ferocious expression.

"I was prematurely brought into labor by your good grandson, that little jerk Song Chengguang, I tell you, if something happens to my child, I will kill him..." Wang Qinghua said menacingly, grinding her teeth fiercely.

"No, no, Chengguang didn’t hit her," Song Chengguang countered while protecting his siblings.

Mrs. Song was greatly distressed, "Niuniu, quickly go outside and find your father, tell him, your mom is having contractions and is going to give birth..." turning her head and yelling outside.

Tianxin, upon hearing this, dashed to the bedroom doorway, peeked inside the room, saw several siblings crying and her mom cursing violently, and then timidly nodded and hurriedly ran out.

"It’s okay, it’s okay, Qinghua! Calm down for a moment, it just started, the water hasn’t even broken yet! It won’t be born in a short while, we’ll wait for Yuantao to come back, then we will take you to the county hospital." Mrs. Song after all had been through childbirth herself, she knew giving birth was like walking a tightrope at the gates of hell, although she was comforting Wang Qinghua outwardly, inside she was also panicking.
