Lin Chacha was unhappy and uncomfortable when she received a call from Lin Xiazhu, who told her that she wouldn't be going back to her hometown for the time being and that they should go to Beijing together after the New Year.
"Sister, we've already discussed this with our relatives and friends. Are we going to go around telling them not to come? How am I supposed to explain that? We're not short of money. There's no need for us to cooperate with others just for money." If the other person wasn't her eldest sister, the eldest sister she always admired and trusted, she would have lost her temper by now.
"Cha Cha, that's two million! Even if we work hard, it would take us several years to save that much money. I was wrong about this, so please don't be angry. Grandpa was just worried about me running so far with such a big belly. He was worried about me." Otherwise, he wouldn't have spent so much money to ask her to stay at home and not run around.
"It's not that exaggerated. I earn over a million a year now. We're not short of money. You've changed, sister," Lin Chacha complained.
She thought that since she could get there by plane in a day, how was it hard work? She rarely gets to go home, and all her relatives and friends want to see her. She clearly said she would come back, but suddenly she said she wouldn't. It's too frivolous.
The two sisters rarely quarrel, but this time their disagreement was quite significant. Lin Chacha has a fiery temper, and when she didn't like what was being said, she hung up the phone and refused to continue.
Has a bad temper.
"What's wrong? Is Chacha unhappy?" Bai Ruan, wearing a bathrobe, sat down next to her.
It's been snowing lightly in Beijing these past few days, and the temperature is quite low. Lin Xiazhu is getting increasingly lazy and doesn't want to go out, preferring to stay at home. Unlike Chacha, she started working at the age of fifteen in her previous life and rarely went home, except for a few days during the Spring Festival in the first few years.
Later, she grew tired of the family her mother and stepfather had remarried into, and she also grew tired of her mother. Peach was gone, and Chacha had gotten married, so she didn't want to go home anymore. As a result, she only went back once every few years. Zhao Xiaolian didn't care, as long as she had money to send back, it didn't matter whether she wanted to go home or not.
Later, Chacha also got into trouble. She was getting old and gradually drifted away from Zhao Xiaolian's family. She didn't go home or contact them, and she stopped sending them money. Until the mother and daughter broke up, she lived alone and was always by herself.
After her rebirth, apart from her sisters, she didn't really have any feelings for anyone else. When she was still in her hometown, she couldn't visit people much. After coming to the capital, she felt like she was back in her previous life when she was all alone. No, it wasn't the same. Now her two younger sisters were in the capital, and she could see them often.
Most importantly, she still has Xiao An and the baby. She is very content. People used to say that Xiao An was cold-hearted, but actually, she is the one who is truly cold-hearted. She seems easy to get along with, but her heart is cold.
Sensing her low spirits, Bai Ruan was a little worried. She pulled her into her arms and held her tightly. "Don't overthink it. It's not that serious. Cha Cha is just too stubborn."
Regardless of whose fault it was, his scales were tipped. As long as Xiaozhu was happy, that was the right thing to do. He respected her decision. If she wanted to go back to her hometown, he would go with her. She liked the two million, but chose to listen to her grandfather. He didn't think it was a bad thing. The important thing was that she was happy.
Once Lin Xiazhu has made up her mind, nothing can change it, especially since she is currently pregnant and likes to be a little temperamental.
"Xiao An, do you think this is bad for prenatal education? Will our baby be particularly greedy after birth?" Lin Xiazhu only worried about this; everything else was secondary.
Bai Ru'an: "..." Probably not? But he wasn't sure either.
"It's alright. The Bai family may not have any other advantages, but they have a lot of money. Our baby likes money, which is also a good thing. Anyway, we won't have to worry about money."
It seems to make sense, but something still feels off.
Although she was in a bad mood, Lin Xiazhu had lived an extra life and had a strong mental fortitude and excellent self-regulation skills. She put the unpleasantness behind her in just one night. Anyway, she had informed her hometown, so she didn't care whether everyone was in a good mood or not. Taking care of her own emotions was more important.
Because it had been snowing for days, she stayed home obediently and didn't go out. She would occasionally take a walk in the garden, but Bai Zhengping would always make sure to keep an eye on her so she wouldn't fall.
Hearing that her second sister was upset that her eldest sister hadn't gone back to host the banquet on time, and was even throwing a tantrum, Lin Xiaoxue volunteered to call back and persuade Lin Chacha.
"Big sister, don't always find fault with me. Actually, I'm very capable. You and second sister had a falling out, didn't you? I'll call back right away and have her apologize to you." Lin Xiaoxue said confidently.
"Isn't Cha Cha the person who dislikes you the most? How dare you go near her?" Lin Xiazhu didn't have high hopes, nor was she too worried. Cha Cha's temper flared up quickly but subsided just as fast. Just wait and see, she definitely wouldn't last more than a week before she took the initiative to call her and make up.
However, since Lin Xiaoxue was so eager to be a peacemaker, she didn't stop her and just watched how she persuaded Chacha.
"Second sister, it's me. My two nephews must have grown a lot in the past six months... They can sit up by themselves now, and they've even started teething. They can even call out 'Dad' occasionally... Oh dear, why did you call out 'Dad' first? No wonder you're jealous..."
Lin Xiaoxue was unusually patient in arguing with her second sister for so long, discussing the issue of children for over twenty minutes before finally getting to the main topic.
"It's raining heavily in Beijing every day. The snow is up to our knees when we go out. Planes can't fly normally, and many flights are delayed... My older sister is having severe morning sickness. Her baby is very fussy, and she's listless and sleepy all day... Everyone sees how hard it is for her."
"It's not twins, didn't we say that already? It's just one, we still don't know if it's a boy or a girl, we haven't asked the doctor... Did you say something to your older sister that day? She's been upset for days, she hasn't been eating or sleeping well, and her stomach has shrunk quite a bit..."
Lin Xiazhu's lips twitched. She could eat and sleep well, and her belly wouldn't shrink like her jinx had said. Her baby was healthy.
After Song Cheng talked to Lin Chacha these past few days, she realized that she had done something wrong that day. How could she have hung up on her older sister and talked back to her? Now her older sister is pregnant, so she needs to be extra careful with her emotions and not upset her.
We originally planned to come back and hold a banquet, but I didn't expect her to get pregnant so quickly. Now her belly is bigger than a basin, and it's so uncomfortable in the middle of winter. We can totally discuss it and hold the banquet after she gives birth, and we can all go to Beijing together.
Those who can't go will be treated in the county town. No need to give red envelopes. My eldest sister and brother-in-law probably won't be able to come back either, so she and Song Cheng will be in charge of entertaining the guests.
There's not much to say to relatives and friends, since they don't accept red envelopes. I just treated them to a free meal, and they were probably happy to accept. Apart from close relatives, I didn't really want to see my older sister and her family. We'd just exchange a few polite words when we met, but it didn't really mean much.
“Tell your older sister to relax and not worry about things at home. I was upset. Tell her to eat well and not to make my nephew suffer.”
If she had eaten even one less bowl of food during her pregnancy, she would have felt unwell for the whole day. Look how healthy her two sons are now; it's all thanks to the good upbringing they received in the womb.
