Seven months later, Mo Yan safely gave birth to a son, named Xiao Jue, with the nickname Tuntun, meaning little pig. The nickname came from the chubby girl's dissatisfaction with her younger brother, who would just eat and sleep all day and couldn't accompany her to play, so she came up with this somewhat teasing name.
The arrival of Xiao Jue meant that the Xiao Family finally had a successor, relieving Mo Yan and Xiao Ruiyuan from the gossip and rumors of the outside world. Not only did Mo Qingze and the others breathe a sigh of relief, but Chu Heng, who had always worried for Xiao Ruiyuan, also completely let go of his concerns. On the third day after the birth, known as "washing the third", he personally visited and dropped a pure gold piglet into the baby's washbasin, to the sheer delight of the midwife, who couldn't stop smiling.
Everyone was happy for the birth of the new life, but Xiao Ruiyuan, now a father again, had mixed feelings about it.
