Epilogue
“Wah wah wah….”
The sharp cry of an infant resounds through the delivery room. Xu He Jun supports Huang Shang Rong with one arm, his whole body trembling uncontrollably.
Last time he had missed out on Hao Hao’s birth, but from now on, he won’t miss out on the witnessing any of the results of his and Huang Shang Rong’s love.
“Born! Shang Rong, thank you, you’ve really worked hard!”
To think giving birth would be so gruelling, he’s still trembling even now. Don’t be scared, he’s now the father of two!
He should be really proud!
Having recovered some energy after collapsing, Huang Shang Rong exerts herself to raise her upper body, as the nurse helps pass her the little infant that had just been washed clean, letting her hold her own child.
“Congratulations Mrs Xu, it’s a boy.”
What, it’s a boy? Holding the child, the corner of her mouth twitches slightly.
The scrupulous Xu He Jun notices, promptly appeasing his wife. “It’s alright, two boys and two girls right? There’s still more chances, next time we’ll work hard to have a daughter!”
Another two years—–
“Wah wah wah…..”
Xu He Jun uses the same arm to hold Huang Shang Rong.
Only this time his movement is a little more stiff.
The nurse nimbly wraps the baby in a neat bundle, carefully handing it to Huang Shang Rong.
“Congratulations Mrs Xu, this time it’s a boy.”
What? It’s a boy again?
Huang Shang Rong’s face darkens, glaring at Xu He Jun filled with murderous intent, asking him to explain himself.
“Both the palm and the back of your hand is flesh[1]!” He immediately adds “Next time I’ll have my X chromosomes swim a little faster, alright?”
“They better.” She glares viciously at him, before lightly patting the little infant in her arms. “Otherwise you’re dead.”
A little over a year—–
Inside the delivery room—–
Crap!
Xu He Jun supports Huang Shang Rong with one arm like before.
As the child is born.
“So how is it?” Raising her head like a queen as she regards the father of her children.
“Congratulations Mrs Xu, eh…. This time it’s a boy….” The nurse politely hands the infant to her, only watching her stiff expression and the pitiful expression on the child’s father, the nurse can’t help but feel strange.
Huang Shang Rong wordlessly holds her son, letting the nurse push her out of the delivery room as Xu He Jun meekly lowers his head and leaves by the door.
“Daddy.” Xu Hao, who enters the first grade the following year, has grown really adorable and even has a peculiar charm. Just then a group of young nurses had crowded around him, offering him candy, only his mummy had told him he shouldn’t randomly eat other people’s things, so he was really troubled! “Has my sister come out?”
Xu He Jun wordlessly strokes his eldest son’s head, grasping his hand before picking up his second son, while his third son still can’t walk steadily and is carried by his mother-in-law.
“He Jun, so how is it? Say something!”
Watching him shake his head, mother Huang’s eyes widen, secretly thinking her son-in-law has rough days ahead of him. Without asking him anymore, she helps carry her little grandson, following him towards the hospital room.
At the front of the room, 2-3 elderly men are sitting outside. Seeing him pulling one along, while carrying two, they can’t resist adding a few words.
“One, two, three, these days there’s still someone who has three kids, not to mention all three are sons! Young man, work hard!”
Thinking about the miserable fate awaiting him, Xu He Jun really can’t summon the strength to smile.
“My little sister is inside.” His second son stutters out.
“Four!” The old men’s smiles widen, with some even giving him a thumb’s up.
Wu wu wu, it shouldn’t matter if they have sons or daughters, they’re all treasures!
Walking into the room, Huang Shang Rong was breastfeeding her youngest son. Seeing her husband and sons enter, she doesn’t even spare him a glance as her sons run to her side, arguing over who gets to see their little sister.
“He’s a little brother!” She turns her youngest son’s head towards them. “Come say hello to your younger brother.”
“Ah, another son! Daddy, you’re so pitiful.” Xu Hao is already at an age where he started to understand, and knows his mummy wants to have a daughter, yet all three were cheeky boys.
Watching Shang Rong somewhat peacefully introducing the newest member of their family to their sons, mnn … maybe she isn’t as mad as he thought she would be.
Half leaning forward, Xu He Jun uses his best smiling face. “Sorry, sorry, one’s plans will never keep up with the realities in their life. Having a son isn’t bad either. Look, one set of clothes can be worn three, four times, it’s really cost effective!”
Humph humph! Huang Shang Rong scoffs twice. Once the infant in her arms is full, she slowly pulls down her top, waiting for the baby to burp before giving it to him to place in the infant cot.
“Do, do you want to have another one?”
“No.” She answers candidly. “I’m tired.”
“Oh…” What should he do? Whether it’s thousands or more, all the mistakes were his…..
“You once said if an Amazon warrior couldn’t give birth to a daughter, she’d kill the father of her son out of anger right?”
Xu He Jun gulps. To think she still remembered……
“Sons, attack!”
Once the Queen issues a decree, the three little brats latch onto their old man, biting and scratching. Only Xu He Jun isn’t so easy to deal with either. Even if the three brats were stacked they wouldn’t reach his height! When their father grabs one with each hand, holding the cheekiest Xu Hao with his legs, immediately subduing them to the ground.
Wanting to enquire, the Xu Ying Zhang couple enter the room to see their son and grandsons messing around on the ground. Once the little radishes see their paternal grandmother and grandfather, they happily rush towards them.
“Oh! So obedient….” Xu Ying Zhang picks up one of his grandsons, his eyes drifting towards the infant’s cot. “Was it a son or daughter?”
“It’s a younger brother!” Xu Hao yells.
“Another grandson!” Grandmother Xu can’t endure any longer. She can’t really complain if her only son won’t accompany her to the shops, while her talented daughter-in-law needs to earn money and raise her career, and even worked hard to give birth to four little radishes, so there’s nothing she can do if she doesn’t have the time to shop and dress up with her. She had pinned all her life’s hopes on a little granddaughter, yet it still wasn’t possible? Suddenly all her discontent is directed at Xu He Jun. “What are you doing? Why are they all sons!”
This, this isn’t something he can decide, why are they all blaming him?
“A son or a daughter, it’s good either way….” He weakly defends himself.
“Daughters are better!” Grandfather and grandmother Xu not to mention Huang Shang Rong all roar at him at once.
But his son was already born, what do they want him to do about it!
Xu Ying Zhang pats his son’s shoulder. “Still haven’t given birth to a daughter, son you should continue to work hard!”
They want to try again? Xu He Jun’s vision starts to blur, as his brain becomes sluggish.
Grandmother Xu is even more extravagant. “Other people say a thousand gold, but if you have a daughter, your mother will immediately hand out a one million gold red pocket.”
It has nothing to do with money, the main point is that right now they can’t seem to have one….
“Who wants to save your father?” Placing the three little radishes in a row, Xu He Jun asks.
“How do we save?”
“Cut off your pee pee and become a girl.”
“Ah, don’t want to!”
His sons instantly scatter around the hospital room, leaving him unable to catch even one!
“Xu He Jun, what are you trying to do to my sons?”
“If none of you will chop, then your father will end up get chopped!”
“It’s fine if yours is cut.” Huang Shang Rong nods. “If the fifth child is also a son, then go ahead and cut it.”
Ah *cry*……
