CHAPTER 466: CHAPTER 468: MY CHILD HAS BOTH A FATHER AND A MOTHER, IT’S NOT YOUR TURN TO RAISE THEM.

Zheng Xianghong couldn’t put it off any longer, and Gao Jiaxing, her son, had given her a stern look as he handed it over. If Zheng Xianghong delayed any further, Gao Jiaxing would be unhappy, so she had no choice but to take it.

Xia Xiao, on the other hand, wouldn’t advise Gao Jiaxing to give a can to Gao Jiazhi and Sun Yuhua. Whenever little Weilin came over, she would readily make it for Weilin to drink, but now, Xia Xiao had completely lost all fondness for Sun Yuhua and wouldn’t generously offer any to her.

After the kids tried the malt milk powder, they all fell in love with its taste, and having seen Gao Jiaxing give a can to Zheng Xianghong, they would crave Zheng Xianghong’s malt milk powder whenever they got peckish.

Zheng Xianghong spoiled her grandchildren and would mix the drink for them morning and evening. Xia Xiao and Gao Jiaxing were speechless, but they didn’t say anything about it.

Xia Xiao began her postpartum confinement, and Gao Jiaxing took a few days off work. He had now become very proficient at caring for the child and changing diapers. He even helped with feeding, bathing, and reading to Feiyang, Feiyue, and Feiyi.

She was also worried about the children falling behind in their studies, so she had Weilin teach Feiyang, Feiyue, and Feiyi how to read every day, rewarding the obedient ones with tasty treats.

Weilin, Feiyang, Feiyue, and Feiyi were all very enthusiastic and quickly formed the habit, no longer needing prompting to study conscientiously.

One day, Gao Jiaxing and Gao Jiazhi went fishing. Fish soup was believed to be good for milk production, so when Gao Jiazhi heard Gao Jiaxing was going fishing, he joined as well.

Tomorrow Gao Jiaxing would have to return, and although he was reluctant, there was no helping it since he could only take a few days off. Xia Xiao’s exams weren’t until the next month, and Gao Jiaxing calculated the time, contemplating if he could make another trip back when Xia Xiao had her exams.

It was only possible to take such leaves because he was in a military academy. In the regular army, you couldn’t just take leaves like this, especially since Gao Jiaxing had already taken time off this month; getting leave next month was uncertain.

At this moment, Zheng Xianghong was in the kitchen, with little Weilin and Feiyang, Feiyue, and Feiyi studying in the yard while Sun Yuhua was reading next door.

The twins had finished nursing and were now asleep. When the children slept, Xia Xiao would rest as well, for once they woke up, she wouldn’t have the chance to sleep.

Moreover, the babies would wake up once or twice throughout the night. Even with Zheng Xianghong’s help, Xia Xiao still found nursing exhausting, so whenever the children slept, she would sleep too since there wasn’t much else she needed to do.

Xia Xiao woke up, and it was nearly noon. She quickly got up and opened the door to air out the room. Windows couldn’t be opened during confinement, but doors were allowed, and Xia Xiao didn’t like to be cooped up inside all the time.

However, her opening the door may have alerted Sun Yuhua next door, who then came over.

Seeing Sun Yuhua approaching, Xia Xiao nodded and asked, "Is there something you need, sister Yuhua?"

Sun Yuhua walked in, looking at the sleeping twins on the bed, and asked, "Xia Xiao, have you named the twins yet?"

Xia Xiao shook her head. "There’s no rush."

They already had a name for the boy, Feiteng, but Xia Xiao hadn’t settled on a name for the girl yet. She initially thought of naming her Feiyan, but she hadn’t forgotten about her cousin named Zhao Yan.

So, for now, Xia Xiao hadn’t come up with a better name and wasn’t in a hurry, since the children were still young and hadn’t reached their first month yet.

"You certainly have good fortune," Sun Yuhua said with a sour tone.

Xia Xiao tugged at the corner of her mouth, "Yu Hua, you have good fortune too," just that you choose not to have it.

Thinking that nobody else was around at the moment, Sun Yuhua’s thought began to stir, and she wanted to test the waters with Xia Xiao to see her reaction. Otherwise, it would always weigh on her mind, disrupting her sleep and distracting her from her studies.

Seeing Sun Yuhua hesitate to speak, Xia Xiao prompted, "Yu Hua, just say what’s on your mind."

"Xia Xiao, you’ve heard about the Red Star Production Team, haven’t you?"

When Sun Yuhua suddenly brought this up, Xia Xiao had no idea what she meant and inquired, "What’s going on with the Red Star Production Team?"

"People say it’s hard to raise twins together, that they should be separated. When Gao Guihua had twins, didn’t she just raise the boy at Liu Haiguo’s house and even acknowledged Liu Haiguo and Feng Ying as godparents?"

As soon as Sun Yuhua finished speaking, Xia Xiao’s expression turned stern, "What do you mean by that, Yu Hua?"

"Weilin is already so big, and I don’t have a son. Since Jiazhi is Jiaxing’s elder brother, if you don’t mind, give us the elder brother of the twins to raise. I will cherish him as my own."

When Sun Yuhua said this, Xia Xiao felt a surge of anger rising within her—so intense that she almost spat in Sun Yuhua’s face.

But true to her nature, Xia Xiao turned her seething anger into a cold laugh, "Mind it? Why wouldn’t I mind?"

Xia Xiao really hadn’t expected Sun Yuhua to covet her son, and the thought that Sun Yuhua had aborted her own child only to set her sights on someone else’s, under the pretense of adoption, was about to make Xia Xiao explode with fury.

"Xia Xiao, you already have four sons, while Jiazhi and I don’t have any. What’s wrong with giving us one to raise? Jiazhi and I are your children’s uncle and aunt, not strangers. The child is still a grandson of the Gao family and won’t fail to recognize you later."

Sun Yuhua’s voice softened, trying to persuade Xia Xiao. In her heart, she genuinely wanted to adopt the elder brother of the twins. She felt guilty about the child she had aborted and thought that by adopting Xia Xiao’s son, she could treat him well and make amends.

"Even if I have many more sons, they’re ones I’ve given birth to, not yours. If you don’t have a son, go and have one yourself. Don’t set your sights on someone else’s," Xia Xiao’s voice rose sharply, and she was no longer interested in talking with Sun Yuhua. "I have a child that has both a father and a mother, and it’s not your turn to raise him. Get out."

"Xia Xiao, I’m thinking of your best interest. It’s difficult to raise twins together, and you can’t selfishly ignore the safety of your own children."

Sun Yuhua’s words completely ignited Xia Xiao’s fury, or rather, made her blow up entirely.

"Sun Yuhua, don’t you feel guilty saying that? Someone who goes to great lengths to abort her own child, and then dares to speak like this isn’t slapping herself in the face? My children’s well-being has nothing to do with you, and you have no right to interfere. Even if my children were to be entrusted to someone else, it would not be you—a person who could kill her own children. How much motherly love could you have for a child not born from your own body? Get lost. Don’t let me lay eyes on you. Even talking one more word with you disgusts me."

After Xia Xiao said that, Sun Yuhua was shocked and enraged, having not expected Xia Xiao to know about it. She retorted to Xia Xiao, "You are too cruel, Xia Xiao. If you don’t want to, just say you don’t want to. How could you slander me like that?"

"Whether I am or not, you know very well. That day when I went to the Youth Point, I heard your vomiting. On the way back, I heard it too, and even asked if you were feeling unwell, why your complexion was so bad. You looked at me with suspicion and even asked why I was there. I said I had just come back from the Youth Point, and you explained it away as staying up late to study and not sleeping well. I was a bit puzzled then and saw you were normal otherwise, so I didn’t suspect further."
