Chapter 586 This is my child
My aunt started cursing, "If you can't stand it, then go die. Anyway, the important thing is the baby in your belly. If you don't give birth by tomorrow, I'll call someone to cut open your belly and take the baby out."
"It hurts, it hurts so much," she kept crying out on purpose. Her aunt turned and walked away without even glancing at her.
Du Mingxian called out once and then stopped. She went straight into the space and tidied up the child inside. She didn't breastfeed the child, though, as her breasts were very engorged. She expressed some milk and fed it to the child little by little with a spoon.
After staying up all night, she got up early the next morning, quickly disguised the bed, put the child aside, and lay down on the bed to rest.
Soon she heard a noise outside, followed by the door opening, and she heard her aunt's footsteps slowly approaching.
"Oh my, she really gave birth naturally." After saying that, Auntie San reached out and touched her nose, muttering softly, "She didn't die."
Du Mingxian could feel her third aunt taking the child away, and she secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Although the child was only one day away, she was afraid that her third aunt would find out something.
After her third aunt left, she went into the space to eat something and rest for a while. Then she rushed out of the room and began her performance.
"Child, where is my child?"
There was no movement in the yard, so her third aunt probably wasn't there. She rushed straight into Da Hua's room, where Da Hua was anxiously talking to the child.
"You should eat something, you child. I'm your mother. If you don't drink milk, what else can you eat?"
"My child, my child." Du Mingxian rushed over and, before Da Hua could react, scooped the baby into her arms and quickly began breastfeeding.
The baby must have smelled his mother's scent to start crying immediately. Du Mingxian fed him milk, and he ate very quickly, probably because he hadn't had any milk since she had fed him the night before.
Da Hua felt a little sad when she saw her child nursing from Du Mingxian, but she was relieved that her child was finally willing to nurse.
"Xiao Du, this is my child."
"My child." Du Mingxian appeared disoriented, as if she had been traumatized.
Big Peanut was afraid she would hurt the child, so he didn't say anything more.
Before Du Mingxian had finished feeding her child, her third aunt had already sent the child out and returned, beaming with joy. When she entered her daughter-in-law's room, she saw the child in Du Mingxian's arms and was startled.
"What are you going to do?"
"My child." Du Mingxian subconsciously turned her body slightly and hugged the child even tighter.
Auntie San was terrified. Seeing her precious grandson in Du Mingxian's hands, she didn't dare to go forward. She could only look at Da Hua with a hint of disappointment, "What happened?"
"I...I was about to breastfeed my second child, but the baby refused to eat no matter what I said. Then Xiao Du rushed in and snatched the baby away. The baby is now drinking her milk."
Seeing this, and noticing that her eldest grandson was eating heartily, the aunt didn't rush to take the child away. "I'll bring the child over after he finishes his milk."
"Mother, I think Xiao Du's expression is a bit off. Could it be that he's gone crazy because the child was taken away?" Da Hua was still a little scared.
Third Aunt waved her hand, "Whether she's crazy or not, we'll handle her from now on. Anyway, I've already handed the child over to your eldest uncle, and someone will take care of him. That little brat has quite a high status."
Da Hua was very happy. "Mother, since the child has a high status, then Xiao Du must also have a high status. Should we try to get some benefits from this?"
"No, we'll do whatever your grandpa says. We women can't ruin the men's important plans."
"Ok."
Du Mingxian listened to their conversation without moving until the child was full and asleep, at which point she tidied her clothes.
Seeing this, the third aunt stepped forward and tried to snatch the child, saying, "Give me the child."
"I won't give you my child." Du Mingxian held the child tightly, refusing to let go.
"Give me the child, or I'll get two big men over here right now and kill you."
Faced with her aunt's threat, Du Mingxian was a little scared and obediently handed the child over.
The third aunt picked up the child, looked at her well-behaved eldest grandson, and then placed the child in Da Hua's arms, saying, "Hold the child tight."
"it is good."
Third Aunt ignored Du Mingxian and went to cook for Da Hua. Du Mingxian glanced at her and simply went back to her room, closed the door, and went into her space to rest.
Although it was a natural birth, she's still in her postpartum period. This kind of stress might cause her to develop postpartum complications later on.
After she had rested for a while, she heard the child's heart-wrenching cries outside. Her heart ached, and she rushed to Da Hua's room.
Da Hua held the baby, trying to breastfeed, but the baby refused to eat. Meanwhile, her aunt was anxiously calling out "my dear grandson!"
The child's crying was unbearable for Da Hua and her third aunt, but their eyes lit up when they saw Du Mingxian coming over.
"Come here and breastfeed the baby." She couldn't let her precious grandson go hungry.
Du Mingxian happily stepped forward, took the baby, and started breastfeeding.
Seeing their child, who had been crying uncontrollably just moments before, now obediently drinking milk while Du Mingxian was feeding him, they were both surprised and began to feel a headache coming on.
Da Hua was a little frustrated. "Mother, this child won't nurse. What should I do?"
Her breasts were engorged and painful, but the baby she had given birth to refused to nurse.
Auntie also felt sorry for her grandson, saying, "Since Xiao Du has just given birth, and the baby is willing to drink her milk, you should rest well and give us more good grandchildren in the future."
Da Hua felt a little uncomfortable, but she was still happy to not have to get up at night to take care of the child. "Okay, then let her take the child away tonight to take care of him."
Third Aunt hesitated for a moment, but seeing Du Mingxian's love for children, which seemed genuine, she immediately agreed, "Alright, let her raise the child for now. Don't wealthy families all have wet nurses? Our second child is lucky; he'll have a wet nurse to serve him right after birth and enjoy the treatment of a young master."
"Yes, Mother." Da Hua was overjoyed that her son had a wet nurse.
Du Mingxian was very happy to hear about their arrangements; this was exactly what she wanted.
After feeding the baby, Auntie San was worried that Du Mingxian's old bed would make her grandson uncomfortable, so she cleaned up another small room in the house that had been empty, and Du Mingxian moved in that night.
Du Mingxian naturally stayed in the space at night, which was convenient.
Fearing that her body might develop health problems later, she drank most of the little bit of spiritual water she had saved up. Her body recovered significantly, and she felt much better than before she gave birth.
The next day, before Du Mingxian even left the courtyard, she heard her third aunt and Uncle Qi talking.
Auntie said in a flattering tone, "It's because the baby was just born and Da Hua is suffering. She can't breastfeed right now. We only have this one grandson in our family, so someone has to breastfeed him. Xiao Du is just right. She also just gave birth."
