156 Life is Tough (1/2)

”Hush, everything's alright. Mommy's here.” She lifted her daughter's back carefully. The small baby reached out both her hands and grabbed her clothes in front of her chest. Her cheeks were rosy, and her eyes were red. She seemed just like a small red ball of meat.

”Oh my god, the baby!”

The aunt stared at the baby in Xia Ruoxin's arms, astonished. That was her baby. How did it just pop out like that?

”Ruoxin, how did you give birth to the baby?” Someone asked. Xia Ruoxin hugged her daughter even closer, still smiling lightly. ”I gave birth to her on my own. She's a girl, and she's just a day old.

Xia Ruoxin said softly, both her hands holding the baby gently.

”It's been hard on you, child.” The aunt stared at Xia Ruoxin, feeling sorry for the young girl. She was only about twenty years old, but she was so pitiful. There's no one to take care of her child. How could she nurse herself after childbirth?

”No, it wasn't. It doesn't feel tough if it's all for her.” Xia Ruoxin shook her head. She really did not feel like she had been through a lot. Even though the little baby did not cause pain enough to kill her, she was willing—she really was. The baby was her life and her reason for living.

”The baby is really cute.” An experienced auntie complimented continuously. Even though the pretty face was still young and tender, the shadow of a beauty could be seen.

This was the first time she had seen such a beautiful baby girl in all her life.

She looked at Xia Ruoxin again. It wasn't that strange, actually. Xia Ruoxin had always been pretty, and so her daughter would not differ much from her.

”Ruoxin, what's the child's name?” The aunty could not turn her eyes away. The baby was too likable.
