What to Do? Forced to be the Stepmother of a Jerky Kid

A modern worker with consistently bad luck - Luo Chaoyan, was blown into a strange ancient time by a typhoon.

Her father is a fifth-rank petty official, and her mother is the daughter of a we...

Chapter 197

The autumn wind blows and the leaves fall yellow! Before we knew it, the Mid-Autumn Festival has arrived.

Old Madam Huo knew that after this festival, her grandchildren would have to leave Kyoto with their grandchildren and their wives. Even on this festive day, her mood was still affected. Faced with a table full of delicious food, she had no appetite.

Huo Rui also guessed why his great-grandmother was like this, so he glanced at his younger brother who was still eating with relish, indicating that he should coax her. But this silly brother might have been exiled to have a rare meaty meal, so he ate without even raising his head.

He twitched his lips, then looked at Huo Jin and said, "Father, I think An An is still young, and my great-grandmother is reluctant to let her go, so why not let An An stay."

Huo An was enjoying the delicious food, but when he heard his brother call his name, he was startled and thought his brother was disloyal. He looked at Old Madam Huo and said, "Great-grandmother, An An is reluctant to leave you, but mother said that a man needs to experience some trials before he can grow up, so An An can only bear the reluctance to leave you."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Huo felt both relieved and distressed. She really couldn't bear to leave her great-grandchildren, but she was also afraid that they would suffer outside. After all, Xuanzhou was a city prone to floods.

Master Huo looked at his daughter-in-law with appreciation and said to his grandson, "Yes, this is what the younger generation of the Huo family should do."

Luo Chaoyan also knew that the old lady was reluctant to let go. Under normal circumstances, she would tell some jokes to make the old lady happy, but she was in poor health these days and could not muster any energy.

Seeing that she didn't seem to have much appetite, Huo Jin thought that she usually liked to drink fish soup, so he scooped a bowl and placed it in front of her, saying, "What's wrong?"

Luo Chaoyan shook her head and was about to say it was okay, but she smelled the fishy smell in the bowl and immediately frowned. This fish soup was something she loved to drink normally, but now she felt a little nauseous when she smelled it.

Mrs. Huo saw her distressed look and asked with concern: "Ayan, what's wrong?"

Madam Huo and others all looked at her.

Luo Chaoyan covered her chest, looking a little uncomfortable, and said, "I don't seem to have much appetite recently."

Madam Huo and Old Madam Huo looked at each other and asked anxiously, "Have you seen a doctor?"

Luo Chaoyan nodded and said, "I went to see a doctor some time ago, and he said there was nothing serious. It might be because of the change of seasons that I feel a little unwell."

Madam Huo said, "It's better to be cautious."

Huo Jin nodded and said, "I'll ask the imperial physician to come and take a look."

After the family had dinner, Huo Jin went to the palace to invite Lu Haochen.

After Lu Haochen took Luo Chaoyan's pulse, he smiled and said, "Mrs. Huo is fine."

Luo Chaoyan breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, but in fact, she was secretly wondering if she was pregnant.

"But..." Lu Haochen changed the subject and looked at Huo Jin and said, "Congratulations, Brother Huo, you are going to be a father again."

Huo Jin was stunned when he heard this, and then he felt a little happy.

Mrs. Huo and Madam Huo both smiled when they heard this.

Luo Chaoyan still had some hope, she looked at Lu Haochen and asked, "Why didn't the doctor see it when I saw him some time ago?"

Lu Haochen said: "Maybe it's too early in the month, the doctor can't tell the pulse."

All right!

Woohoo…

Everyone present was happy, except Luo Chaoyan. If the old lady and mother-in-law hadn't been present, she would have wanted to throw a pillow at Lu Haochen. He had to speak in a roundabout way, making her think that she was not pregnant.

Well, she was looking forward to going abroad with Huo Jin, but that was no longer the case. She knew without thinking that once she became pregnant, the old lady would definitely not let her go out again.

Seeing Huo Rui and Huo An looking at her belly with anticipation, she shook her head secretly. They were two silly boys and didn't know what they would face next.

really!

Madam Huo said, "Ayan, since you are pregnant, it is not a good idea for you to travel long distances. It is more important for you to stay at home and take good care of the baby."

Without waiting for Luo Chaoyan to answer, Huo Jin said, "Grandma is right."

Huo Rui and Huo An just reacted at this time. They looked at each other in bewilderment. So their trip to Xuanzhou was also cancelled?

Huo Rui really didn't expect that Huo Yu's bad words were actually right.

Ever since Luo Chaoyan became pregnant, Old Madam Huo asked her to recuperate in her own courtyard and she didn't need to pay any respects to the housekeeper.

Luo Chaoyan sat on the couch by the window, feeling somewhat bored.

She touched her belly, which had not yet arched. She felt that this baby would definitely be a naughty child when he was born. He didn't know how to choose the right time to be born, and he made her suffer and vomit whatever she ate. Thinking of Huo Rui's previous appearance, she secretly swore in her heart that this naughty kid must be strictly disciplined from an early age and must not be allowed to become a naughty child like Huo Rui, otherwise she would be annoyed to death.

Woo woo!

Thinking of this, her head started to hurt again!

"Oh!" she sighed softly.

"Alas!" Huo Rui and Huo An also sighed.

Luo Chaoyan heard the two sighing and said, "When did you come, and why are you sighing?"

"We have been here for a while, but mother was so absorbed in your thoughts that she didn't notice us." Huo Rui said.

Huo An said: "Mother, when will my brother come out?"

Huo Rui said: "It's my sister!"

"Brother, let's make a bet."

"Okay, what's the bet?"

Huo An thought for a moment and said, "After mother gives birth, if father still takes us to Xuanzhou, then you can stay in the mansion."

"Okay, it's settled." Huo Rui said.

As they spoke, the two of them high-fived each other.

Luo Chaoyan glared at the two of them unhappily and said, "I say, you two, are you looking for a fight?" You actually bet on her having a baby. He deserves a beating.

"Hehe..." Huo Rui smiled awkwardly: "Mother, are you tired? Do you want to eat something?" A few days ago, his mother vomited everything she ate, which made his father very anxious. It was the first time they saw their father look so anxious. He looked quite funny, like a fool, completely lacking his former coldness and sharpness.

Huo An said, "I don't know what delicious food my father will buy today." Thinking of this, he smacked his lips. He had no idea that his father knew so much about the delicious food in Beijing. Every time he saw the food he brought back for his mother, he was so greedy.

Mention Cao Cao and he will appear.

Huo Jin walked in carrying a bag.

Huo Rui and Huo An saluted him. Thousands of

Huo Jin nodded calmly, walked up to Luo Chaoyan, and asked with concern, "How's your appetite today?"

Luo Chaoyan said: "It's OK!"

Huo Jin opened the paper oil bag and said, "This is Jinji's sour jujube. See if it suits your taste."

As he said this he picked up one and held it to her mouth.

Luo Chaoyan smelled it and didn't think it was disgusting, so she took a bite and chewed it, then nodded and smiled, "It's sour and sweet, and tastes good."

Seeing that she had an appetite, Huo Jin raised the corners of his lips slightly.

Luo Chaoyan was about to kiss him, but she gave up the idea immediately when she noticed that Huo Rui and Huo An were looking at her with teasing eyes.

Huo Jin looked at his two sons and asked, "Have you memorized all your lessons?"

Come on, this is an order to leave.

Huo Rui and Huo An exchanged glances, saluted Huo Jin, and ran out at full speed.

After they left the yard, Huo An said to Huo Rui, "Brother, I think it would be better for mother to give birth to a sister."

Huo Rui raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Then you have to stay at home."

Huo An choked and said unhappily, "Brother, what I meant was that if mother had given birth to a sister, then father would have paid less attention to us."

Huo Rui touched his chin and said, "It's very likely. I heard Huo Shun say that his father disliked him, but loved his sister very much."

The two brothers looked at each other and suddenly felt that it was a good thing that this sister came.
