Chapter 1176 - Awful Taste (2/2)

Four of them looked at each other and smiled at their first success. “We have three babies at one go. We will be very busy in the future.”

Qiao Nan was a first-time mother. She was still learning to be a mother and to take care of the babies. Although she had her mother-in-law and auntie to help her, she would still overwork herself and slump on the bed due to exhaustion.

Qiao Nan used to think that she would be bored during the one month of confinement.

She knew that even if she had time, her mother-in-law and her family would not allow her to do any reading for fear that it would not be good for her eyes.

She had given birth to triplets and the doctor suggested that she went through two months of confinement, saying that it would be better for her health.

She had herself to blame as she was drained of all energy after giving birth to two of the babies, and the third child almost died in her womb.

Qiao Nan was not a willful lady, but at times, she would be willful as well.

She felt that she could hardly stand one month of confinement, let alone two months of confinement.

If she went through two months of confinement, she might be healthy, but she would be mentally unsound.

Therefore, Qiao Nan had made up her mind not to go through two months of confinement. The doctor only suggested that she went through two months of confinement to be on the safe side, but she did not insist on it. Furthermore, she did not say that it would be detrimental to her health to go through one month of confinement.

However, when she finally started to take care of her three babies, she realized that she was far from being bored.

She fed the triplets and they grew to be more and more adorable each day. Their reddish and wrinkled skin became fair and tender. They looked chubby and they had changed so much in less than a month.

The adults at the Zhai family marveled in joy just from looking at the babies. The fair and tender babies looked adorable as they opened their tiny mouths and uttered small sounds.

Old Master Zhai and Zhai Yaohui were not immune to their charms either. They enjoyed carrying them in their arms, but they would be sleeping most of the time and they would cry when awake. They even gifted their grandpa and great-grandpa with their p.o.o.ps and urine from time to time.

There might be a lot of adults in the Zhai family, but Qiao Nan spent the most time taking care of them.

During the daytime, she had her mother-in-law and auntie to help her out.

When nighttime came, it was when the trouble started.

Miao Jing was already advanced in years and she would feel unwell once in a while. The three babies would often wake up in the middle of the night, feeling hungry or soiling their diapers.

Mothers would usually lose their weight from taking care of their children.

Qiao Nan had to take care of three babies, and thus, it was thrice the torture. Whenever they woke up in the middle of the night, Qiao Nan had to take care of three of them and suffer thrice the hards.h.i.+ps of usual mothers…

Qiao Nan’s weight had increased by more than fifteen kilograms after she was pregnant. After she gave birth to three babies, her weight had reduced by around five kilograms, including the weight of the water bag and placenta. When she was discharged from the hospital and went back home to rest, she was still five kilograms heavier than her usual weight.

However, Qiao Nan’s weight dropped dramatically as she had to take care of her three babies. She had not completed her confinement, but she was already back to her normal weight.

Moreover, the three babies would need to have more milk as they developed. This meant that it would be harder on Qiao Nan.

Her weight had returned to normal in less than a few months and she might even weigh lighter than her usual weight.

“This won’t do.” The Zhai family could tell that Qiao Nan was losing weight and they were anxious.
