My Childhood Sweetheart Is a Crazy Beauty-Chapter 272 Itching for a Lesson

Tang Chuxia couldn’t break free, so she had no choice but to let Gu Beihuai squeeze her cheeks—fortunately, he wasn’t squeezing hard, and it didn’t hurt.

Her eyes shimmered like autumn waters, compelling Gu Beihuai to let go of her face.

The hand that pinched her cheek was now gently cradling it.

"Do you really have nothing you want to tell me?"

Tang Chuxia felt the warmth on her cheeks, and they flushed with heat.

She was never one to be easily dominated, quickly taking the initiative. Her hands slipped under the hem of Beihuai’s shirt, her cool fingers resting on his tummy, causing him to instinctively tense up.

Although she couldn’t see, Tang Chuxia could feel the tension under her palms, the defined contours, and her fingers slowly followed their lines.

"Actually, I’d rather verify it myself," Tang Chuxia whispered, and Beihuai released his hold.

His face reddened; he understood.

He got what Tang Chuxia’s words meant. In matters of men and women, he considered himself quite liberal, but compared to Tang Chuxia, he felt like a total lightweight.

With the New Year celebration, he feared he’d turn into a wolf.

"Tang Chuxia, you are a pure and innocent girl!" Gu Beihuai reminded her, and she rubbed her fingers together, "Oh my, I almost forgot. You make it sound like a pitiful little thing forced into bed. Sister may not have much practical experience, but I’m rich in theoretical knowledge. How about letting sister take care of you?"

Her words nearly prompted Beihuai to take action.

Stumbling, Beihuai ran out, and Tang Chuxia’s laughter crazily followed behind him.

Another embarrassing day.

Tang Chuxia felt a hint of regret. Men these days were so tender-hearted; just a little flirtation, and he ran away?

She craved a bit of flesh—it’s the New Year after all, and something felt amiss.

On the other hand, Gu Beihuai wasn’t having an easy time either. After leaving, he just went straight home, not bothering to check on Wu Haipeng and Qin Zhan.

Indeed, he left in too much of a disarray.

After Beihuai left, Tang Chuxia saw Madam Tang at the door. Madam Tang pulled Tang Chuxia by the hand as soon as she entered the room, "Elder Huang just told me, your elder sister-in-law’s body doesn’t have any major problems now, but the baby does!"

Tang Chuxia’s expression turned grave.

Ever since Third Grandpa mentioned poison in her elder sister-in-law’s blood, she had worried that the child might have been affected in the womb. Now it seemed likely.

Tang Chuxia and Madam Tang went to see the baby, and Elder Huang noted something was off with the baby but couldn’t pinpoint the issue because the little one was too quiet.

Tang Chuxia thought of the old monk’s Buddha Beads and went to find him.

The old monk was originally playing chess with Third Grandpa in the backyard. Seeing the worried faces of Elder Huang and Tang Chuxia, he said, "As long as your sister-in-law insists on breastfeeding, the baby will gradually be alright!"

The old monk’s words were confirmed by Third Grandpa.

"Breast milk has detoxifying properties, and since the baby cannot take medicine, he can only drink breast milk!"

After the explanations from the two men, Tang Chuxia felt reassured. Elder Huang, curious about the toxin, sat nearby to ask questions.

Neither Third Grandpa nor the old monk were the types to withhold knowledge and obliged him with an explanation.

Incidentally, Tang Chuxia also listened and learned quite a bit.

Third Grandpa took one look at Tang Chuxia and still said, "Your elder sister-in-law’s calamity has passed, but why has yours become even heavier?"

The old monk took a glance and, with evident reluctance, broke off two of his Buddha Beads and handed them to her.

"String them on a cord and wear them. Once a bead shatters, no matter how hard it is, you must find one of us!"

After the old monk finished speaking, Third Grandpa also expressed his agreement.

Only Elder Huang was completely bewildered. He truly couldn’t see it; maybe his spiritual practice was still lacking.

Tang Chuxia obediently took the Buddha Beads, and although she did not know what warning function they had, after seeing what the old monk had given her elder sister-in-law, she still had a lot of trust in him.

After her nephew’s situation was resolved, Tang Chuxia felt at ease and asked about the poison in her elder sister-in-law’s body.

"You should probably ask your parents about this matter; after all, they might be more aware of whom your elder sister-in-law has recently been in contact with."

What Tang Chuxia could think of was Tang Wanqiu, but she believed that this incident wasn’t much related to Wanqiu.

All the guesses were just her own, and Tang Chuxia thought that an investigation was still needed to confirm anything.

After discussing the old monk’s conclusion with Madam Tang, knowing that her grandson was alright gave her peace of mind.

"The poison in your elder sister-in-law’s body wasn’t a setup; it was her own doing out of desperation!"

Madam Tang gave a wry smile. She had only come to this conclusion after questioning her daughter-in-law and son, and fortunately, no outsiders were present at the time.

It turned out that, despite appearing very gentle, the elder sister-in-law was quite burdened by her thoughts. She feared giving birth to a daughter first and being despised by the Tang Family, so she tried everything to ensure the birth of a son.

Yet, her belly was already so big, it was unclear how she came to believe that there was a kind of medicine that could ensure a non-male fetus would become a boy!

Tang Chuxia was shocked upon hearing this, as she had always thought that no one would believe such things, only to find out today that some truly did.

The elder sister-in-law hadn’t taken it initially, but she became so worried that she was nearly mentally troubled, and ended up having a friend buy the medicine, which probably was too authentic for its purpose.

After Elder Huang examined it, they realized that some herbs were highly toxic and the prescription wasn’t given by a legitimate doctor.

In short, all these factors combined led to the elder sister-in-law giving birth on New Year’s Eve.

Speaking of last night’s childbirth, it must be mentioned why she suddenly went into labor after screaming in surprise—it was because Tang Jianguo had returned home while she was drinking her second dose of the medicine, and he scolded her.

After he slapped the medicine bowl out of her hands, it startled her into labor.

After listening to the whole process, Tang Chuxia didn’t even know what to say.

"Xiaxia, if you ever have children in the future, don’t overthink it. Boys or girls are both fine; do you hear me?"

Tang Chuxia let out a sound, thinking to herself about her elder sister-in-law’s troubles when the conversation suddenly turned to her?

She was just about to assert that she would never have children in her lifetime, when she heard Madam Tang say again, "Aunt Hong is easy to please. If she dares to look down on your first child for not being a boy, I’ll deal with her."

Tang Chuxia hadn’t yet fully escaped the notion of having children and was further unsettled when she heard this statement.

"Mom, do you really intend for me to marry Gu Beihuai?"

Tang Chuxia believed that Madam Tang was definitely reluctant, considering she and Beihuai had always been at odds since childhood.

But she didn’t expect Madam Tang to cheerfully say, "Why wouldn’t I agree? Just the thought of my daughter marrying so close to home makes me too happy for words!"

Tang Chuxia asked further, "Aren’t you afraid your son-in-law will end up battered by me someday?"

Madam Tang’s smile faded, "You’re itching for a beating, aren’t you? I can help with that!"
