Chapter 261: Chapter 254: Legend of the Hungry Wolf

“Alright, then,” Ren Li rested her hands on her lower abdomen. Every woman wanted to have a child of her own, and her eyes started to moisten. “If I can bear a child, I will do it, even if it means giving up my own life.”

“That won’t happen,” Tang Yuxin cut her off, “It won’t be your life. I can’t afford to have my little brother without a mother. I’ll ensure your safety.”

“Hehe…” Ren Li didn’t take it seriously, but if she ever had a child, she would willingly die for her child.

When Tang Yuxin came out, Tang Zhinian had just finished packing the sliced beef.

“What were you doing in there?” Tang Zhinian asked his daughter as he put the beef into Tang Yuxin’s backpack, advising her, “Get home and eat it soon. Don’t let it spoil.”

Yuxin picked up her bag and said, “Dad, I need to go back to school now.”

“Alright then, off you go,” Tang Zhinian patted his daughter’s hair, feeling a sense of loss as his daughter was growing up.

His little Yuxin had grown up, and he was getting old himself.

Tang Yuxin descended the stairs, her backpack somewhat heavy. She was becoming a leaf-withered bok choy, her father was about to marry stepmother, yet if Yuxin could get a little brother, she was willing to play the role of such bok choy.

The most important thing for a man was to carry on his family line. Although her father had her, she understood that one thing, he could not let go was the issue of Tang family’s bloodline.

Given her second uncle’s health condition, it was inevitable that he wouldn’t leave an heir for Tang family. With her father’s character, it was unlikely he would marry again in his lifetime.

Many unpredictable things happened in their lives, and these surprises were all due to her being a variable, causing trouble for many people around her.

Such as Tang Zhijun, Zhang Huahua, Chen Family, Xu family, and so forth.

She genuinely hoped that Ren Li could be the variable that would carry on the Tang family’s bloodline. She also wanted a brother, her real brother.

A few days later, Ren Li came looking for Tang Yuxin.

However, she was neither arrogant nor happy, let alone excited.

“What happened?” Tang Yuxin noticed the dark circles under Ren Li’s eyes. She wasn’t supposed to be in this state. When Yuxin last visited her, she was recovering day by day, gaining weight, and improving in spirits. She had no reason to torment herself like this.

“Yuxin, your father doesn’t agree.”

Ren Li showed a bitter expression, “I put my pride aside and approached him, but he still refuses. He says he’s too old and doesn’t want to hold me back, but I can feel that he likes me too. After spending so much time together, he should have developed feelings for me. I thought the hardest part would be convincing you, but it turns out, it’s your father.”

“So, what do you want to do?” Tang Yuxin asked Ren Li. Ren Li was a sensible and intelligent woman, she wouldn’t simply complain.

“I was wondering…” Ren Li licked her lips nervously, “Do you have ‘that’ kind of medicine?”

“What kind of medicine?” Tang Yuxin wasn’t sure what she meant at first.

“Well…” Ren Li found it difficult to explain this to an innocent girl. She blushed and became anxious, but she simply couldn’t say the words.

“You want a contraceptive?” Tang Yuxin asked tentatively, and as soon as those words were spoken, Ren Li’s face turned completely red. She was a mature 35-year-old woman, yet she blushed at the mention of contraceptives.

“Come with me,” Tang Yuxin led Ren Li back to her house, took out a pill bottle from her medicine box. She’d made the medicine for fun, it wasn’t anything significant. She’d been planning to throw it away, never expecting that one day it might come in handy. She knew her father’s stubbornness well. He’d vowed never to marry again, and the only way to make him remarry was to let Ren Li take advantage of him, forcing him to marry even against his will.

She gave the medicine to Ren Li. For the sake of her future brother, she had to plot against her father. If she didn’t, how could she have a little brother? So, she’d sold out her father in exchange for a brother, it seemed like a fair deal.

By the time she got home, Xu Miaomiao and Lin Yile were both diligently doing their homework. She still hadn’t had dinner, and she was hungry.

“Yuxin, your food is in the kitchen, the housekeeper has warmed it up for you,” Lin Yile ran into the kitchen, brought out a bowl and handed it to Tang Yuxin.

“Thank you,” Tang Yuxin picked up the bowl and began eating. She looked up again to replace Lin Yile staring incessantly at her bowl, occasionally swallowing saliva.

“Alright, get a bowl for yourself.”

No one could eat with such eager eyes on them.

Lin Yile happily brought … a … big … basin from the kitchen.

Tang Yuxin weakly looked at her small bowl and then the big basin in Lin Yile’s hands, as well as the girl whose eyes were practically glowing. She wondered if she had overdosed the medicine.

Perhaps she should change the composition of the herbal tea. No matter how much one could eat, it couldn’t possibly be that much, right?

She resigned to her fate and handed over a big portion of her own food to Lin Yile.

“Thank you, Yuxin,” Lin Yile thankfully held the basin, she happily started to eat.

Tang Yuxin returned her focus to her small bowl, which now only had a little rice left at the bottom, the majority was in that big basin.

Xu Miaomiao leaned over and put a hand on Tang Yuxin’s shoulder, “Her appetite’s scary lately. I should tell my mom to prepare extra meals for us. She’s eaten half of my food already.”

With teary eyes, she explained her predicament. Yile eyed her food, making Xu Miaomiao feel guilty for not sharing. Therefore, she, like Tang Yuxin now, had often ended up with half-empty stomachs.

That’s the only solution, Tang Yuxin thought. Even if they were to stop Yile’s medication now, she wouldn’t eat any less. On the contrary, she might eat even more.

As soon as Miaomiao’s mother learned about this, she naturally agreed. It wasn’t a problem to add an extra meal. The children were under a lot of pressure studying, often staying up late and getting hungry.
