Chapter 1626 - 1621: So Fierce This Late at Night! (Second Update)

Several times, Feng Xiaohua was startled into a cold sweat. Hearing the turn of events, she quickly breathed a sigh of relief.

She was probably the best listener Mu Shuangshuang had ever seen.

When she talked about those things, she never interrupted, and when Mu Shuangshuang was done, she would ask a few small questions.

Just like now, after Mu Shuangshuang finished talking about Wen Nantian’s defeat, she asked Mu Shuangshuang: "Shuangshuang, if the Wenjiang Army was defeated, wouldn’t the common people... suffer?"

"Exactly! Throughout history, the greatest harm of war is always borne by the common people!

Some had already settled there, bought houses, fields, and oxen, but as soon as war broke out, the houses disappeared, the fields became unusable, and even the oxen had to be sold off cheaply!

That would be the least of it. In a war zone, ordinary people simply couldn’t survive, and everyone could only pack their family and flee to safer places!

Some died of illness on the way, others starved to death. To survive, they’d do anything! Even selling their children!"

As a modern person, Mu Shuangshuang had read countless historical records about the cruelty of war.

The injuries caused by war were far more terrifying than she described.

What she talked about with Feng Xiaohua was just the tip of the iceberg, the most superficial part!

Hearing Mu Shuangshuang’s words, Feng Xiaohua patted her chest.

"It’s terrifying! Actually... a few years ago, when we were still at war, I was hungry too, everyone was!

It was only after the war that life became better! Otherwise, we might be like those people Shuangshuang talked about, unable to get even a full meal!

Shuangshuang, how wonderful it would be if there were no war? Our men have to go to the front lines, and our grain has to be handed over, everything revolves around war!

We can’t eat enough, or stay warm, and even surviving is a problem!" said Feng Xiaohua.

"Yes, how wonderful it would be not to have war!"

If there were no war, Fengzi would surely be by her side, with her together.

Not to mention how much he could help, at least she would be happy seeing him.

Moreover, Fengzi was so capable, he could certainly help her!

"Shuang lass, Lao Liu’s wife..." Old Mrs. Yu came in from outside, seeing the two girls chatting so intently, a smile appeared on her face.

"Lao Liu said his wife liked playing with Shuangshuang, I didn’t believe it before, but now I do!

When we talk to Lao Liu’s wife, she never seems this happy, just one visit from Shuangshuang, and her expression changes completely!" Old Mrs. Yu couldn’t help teasing Feng Xiaohua.

"Mom, what are you saying? Isn’t everyone the same! I see everyone is happy; it’s just that Shuangshuang once helped me and knows many of my little secrets, so naturally, I’m used to talking to her about certain things!" Feng Xiaohua explained.

"Haha, I meant nothing else; I’m just glad you and Shuang lass have a good relationship!" said Old Mrs. Yu.

"But Xiaohua, you’ve just given birth, still in confinement; don’t tire yourself out! It’s late, you should rest early!" Old Mrs. Yu said with full concern.

"Thank you, Mom! By the way, where are Da Bao and Er Bao? Have they been fed goat milk? I’d like to see them!" Feng Xiaohua said.

"Your sister-in-law is watching them. Once the goat milk is boiled and cooled, they’ll feed Da Bao and Er Bao and bring them to you once they’re full, how about that?" Old Mrs. Yu said.

"Okay, thank you, Mom! Once I’m out of confinement, I’ll take care of Da Bao and Er Bao myself!" Feng Xiaohua said.

"Alright!" Old Mrs. Yu nodded.

Feng Xiaohua rested, and Mu Shuangshuang didn’t want to disturb her.

She remembered promising Liu Chengzhi to help him draw the story behind Garfield, so she took out the brush, paint, paper, and other tools she brought back from the restaurant, closed the door, and started drawing.

Unknowingly, more than two hours passed.

It was dark now. Mu Shuangshuang estimated everyone was asleep, took a walk, and when she returned, she heard Da Bao and Er Bao crying.

Thinking it was too late, Mu Shuangshuang didn’t want to disturb them, so she went to sleep!

————

In the house of Yu Liulang from the Old Yu Family—

Yu Liulang and Feng Xiaohua each held a baby, comforting them, but the two babies refused to stop crying.

"Sixth Son, what’s wrong with these babies? Why do they keep crying?" Feng Xiaohua couldn’t help asking.

"I’ve been wondering too; they weren’t crying before! Now both are crying at once, could they be sick?" Yu Liulang’s face was filled with worry.

"Sick?" Feng Xiaohua used the back of her hand to check Da Bao’s temperature on his face and said: "No, Da Bao isn’t sick, pass me Er Bao so I can check if he’s sick!"

"Alright!"

Trying the same method, she checked Er Bao’s temperature, and he was fine.

"They’re not sick, did they wet themselves?" Feng Xiaohua asked.

"No, I just changed their nappies, shouldn’t be from wetting!"

Though he said so, Yu Liulang didn’t mind the trouble and checked Er Bao’s trousers, confirming there was no problem before saying: "Not wet!"

No illness, no wetness, leaving only the last possibility.

Feng Xiaohua lifted her clothes, placing Da Bao close to her chest. Without needing coaxing, the little guy latched onto Feng Xiaohua’s chest and stopped crying.

Slurping eagerly, he started eating earnestly, no longer crying.

But Feng Xiaohua had no milk; after sucking for a bit without anything coming out, Da Bao started crying again.

"Sixth Son, they’re hungry!" Feng Xiaohua said.

"This... this... Could it be that my sister-in-law didn’t feed Da Bao and Little Treasure goat milk tonight?" Yu Liulang asked.

"It shouldn’t be; Mom said they ate before bringing them to me!" Feng Xiaohua said.

"Whether they did or didn’t, I’ll go cook some goat milk for the babies now!" Yu Liulang said.

"Good!"

Yu Liulang put down Er Bao, left the room, and led the three milk goats from the barn to the yard.

Once secured, he washed his hands, then came out with a large sea bowl scalded with hot water, milked half a bowl of goat milk, and went to the kitchen to start a fire and cook the milk.

After busying until midnight, once Da Bao and Er Bao drank the milk, they finally stopped crying!

The moment they stopped, a voice came cursing from the Old Yu Family’s second housing unit.

"Middle of the night, allowing two little brats to bawl, how can anyone sleep?"

Mrs. Li had actually been woken up by a full bladder, and shortly after waking, Da Bao and Er Bao stopped crying.

Yet she was a troublemaker, and started cursing as soon as she opened her mouth.

Inside, Yu Erlang wasn’t woken by Da Bao and Er Bao’s cries, but rather by Mrs. Li’s cursing.

His eyes still closed, he followed the sound, knowing Mrs. Li’s location.

He said: "Middle of the night, why are you yelling, wanting to wake the whole family, would that make you happy?"
