Chapter 414: It Won’t Run Away
Lin Xiangxi rushed to the hospital and after learning of his elder brother's plan, he decisively took out money to help buy a house for his niece.
"I'll sponsor 300 yuan. I'll also sponsor 300 yuan each for Dabao and Xiaobao."
"No, it's too much, it's one and a half years' salary. You haven't even gotten married yet, so you should save the money. I have money to buy a house for our children." Lin Xiangdong didn't have the nerve to spend his younger brother's money.
Even though he knew that Lin Xiangxi had set up a small workshop and made a lot of money, Lin Xiangdong was too embarrassed to accept it.
He was embarrassed to ask for his younger brother's money, but Lin Xiangdong was willing to spend money on his younger brother. "Do you want to buy a house in Beijing? Your money is wasted quickly. If you need money to buy a house, tell me."
"I'm not short of money. I just don't like being alone. It's so much fun to go to my sister's house to look after the kids."
Lin Xiangxi happily shared: "A few days ago, after the children finished their cram school, I picked them up to eat skewers and popsicles, and they ended up having diarrhea. I didn't even dare to tell my family and sent them to the hospital... Xiaobao thought he was going to die, and his nose was red from crying."
When it came to the exciting point, Lin Xiangxi could no longer feel the murderous intent in Hu Meili's eyes.
He even imitated Xiaobao's baby voice and said in a coquettish voice: "Xiaobao also pulled my sleeve and cried and said, I have finally grown up, little uncle please don't raise me to death hahahaha!!!"
Lin Xiangxi praised with a thumbs up: "It's just diarrhea, a minor problem, it will be fine in half a day, how could he die. But Dabao and Xiaobao are really loyal, they didn't say a word when they got home. Next time I treat them to a meal, they will come to support me! They are very considerate..."
Dabao and Xiaobao went home without saying anything, but Lin Xiangxi shook it all off himself.
Before he finished speaking, Ye Tingxue was attracted by his gossip. She listened to him with wide eyes, and then watched him being given a big bi pocket by Hu Meili.
One hit was not enough, so Hu Meili hit Lin Xiangxi several more times.
"Laugh, laugh, laugh! Still laughing! If you do this again next time, I'll beat you to death! How can you be an uncle like you? I asked you to pick up the child from school, but you took the child to the hospital..."
Lin Xiangnan just stood aside and watched the show happily. She would not hold Hu Meili accountable unless she had problems in raising her children, but she would nag others.
Lin Xiangnan's treatment was not much better than Lin Xiangxi's. Last time she took the children out to play, Dabao and Xiaobao's hands were pricked by the small thorns of cactus fruits, and Lin Xiangnan was also scolded when she got home.
After Hu Meili finished scolding people, Lin Xiangxi became resentful and complained to his brother and sister.
"When I was little, my mom beat me when I had a stomachache. Now my eldest and youngest have stomachaches, and my mom still beats me! I am the one who gets beaten every time."
Lin Xiangdong consoled her in a gentle voice, "Grandchildren are loved. When mom came, she didn't even ask me a single question, and just asked me to buy a house for the child. Now that I have a little one, I will love the little one."
"That's right! Mom is biased." Speaking of this newborn baby, Lin Xiangxi wanted to reach out and try to hug him.
But just as he stretched out his hand, Hu Meili looked at him sideways, "Just stand aside and watch. Why are you hugging her? Don't wake the child up."
Like Lin Xiangnan, she just stood by and watched without taking any action.
She did give birth to a child, but as soon as the child was born, Hu Meili and Gu Zhenjun helped take care of the child, and she didn't worry much about it. In the past two years, the child has grown up, and she has become more unfamiliar with holding the child.
Lin Xiangnan touched the little clothes the child was wearing and asked, "Have you chosen a name?"
"My name is Lin Mufeng."
Lin Xiangxi applauded, "What a good name. It's such a hot day, it's good to give it a cool name to balance out the heat."
Ye Tingxue nodded in agreement. She chose this name for her child based on the five elements.
The words were rough but the logic was sound. However, Lin Xiangxi's words were a little too harsh. Hu Meili clenched her fists again.
Before she could say anything to persuade her younger son to study more, people from the Ye family arrived. Hu Meili's expression changed and she immediately put on a gentle mask.
There were too many people in the ward and it was in a mess. Lin Xiangnan left the small gold lock and peace locket he had prepared in advance, and quickly left with Lin Xiangxi.
"Mom is busy building relationships with my in-laws, will you accompany me to look at houses?"
"Ah?" Lin Xiangxi's attitude was a little reluctant. He looked at his watch and said, "In another twenty minutes, Dabao and Xiaobao's calligraphy class will be over. I have an appointment with them."
"Then bring the kids along to see it. You're buying it for them anyway. You can also take a look and see if there's a house you like."
Speaking of his own house, Lin Xiangxi looked nonchalant, "Let's talk about it later. There's no rush."
Lin Xiangdong didn't have much material desire, and he wasn't very passionate about business expansion. He thought that it would be better to invest in a house than to just leave the money there. But Lin Xiangxi loved to make trouble, so Lin Xiangnan didn't try to persuade him much.
After buying a house, it is a bit difficult to turn the money around. Nowadays, you have to keep some funds in your hand for everything.
With no money, even Dabao and Xiaobao's spending had to be downgraded. Before, after class, they both bought cream ice cream, but after handing over the piggy bank to Lin Xiangnan, they only bought popsicles after class.
"This popsicle is too sweet." Xiaobao has become a picky eater and he ate it with disdain.
Dabao also disliked it, but he still bit the ice cubes with a crunching sound, "Who cares? As long as it's cold enough, that's fine."
"I'll ask mom for an ice cream when I get home," said Xiaobao.
There is a refrigerator at home, which contains a lot of ice cream, all of which are Lin Xiangnan's favorite flavors. If Dabao and Xiaobao want to eat, they have to ask Lin Xiangnan for permission.
Lin Xiangnan ate it casually. She secretly ate ice cream without telling her children every day, fearing that Dabao and Xiaobao would see it and ask for more. Children's stomachs are not as strong as adults'.
But children’s IQ is not necessarily lower than that of adults.
Dabao and Xiaobao also secretly eat popsicles outside every day. The meal at home is just a snack.
They were standing at the door with their schoolbags on their backs, eating popsicles, waiting for their family to pick them up. When they saw Lin Xiangnan and the other person coming, they quickly waved.
"Why did you come early today?" Xiaobao looked at his watch and asked, "You didn't take the bus?"
Lin Xiangnan explained: "My aunt gave birth to a baby, and we came here from the hospital. I'll take you to the hospital later."
"good."
Anyway, there was no time to hide the popsicles, so Dabao and Xiaobao ate them openly in front of Lin Xiangnan.
"Don't eat popsicles. The ones here are not clean. They are frozen directly with tap water. They will come back to haunt you later." Lin Xiangxi said, "Uncle will take you to buy imported cream ice cream later."
Dabao and Xiaobao have already experienced it, and their expressions are very calm.
"It won't go away if you eat it this way. You have to eat it hot or cold at the same time."
Even at such a young age, he has already summed up his life experience.
