Chapter 2260 Taking Care of Both Ends
Without her husband's family, Lai Jinhai is now working for Lu Erbai and is successful in his career. With the family's financial situation improved, Cuihua is living a comfortable life, and it would be perfect for her to have another child.
But there just wasn't one, and even Li asked about it several times.
She was also worried that Cuihua and Lai Jinhai might be unwell, so she secretly asked Zhao Xi to examine them.
Zhao Xi said there was no problem, both of them were in good health, and perhaps their time hadn't come yet.
Li trusted Zhao Xi's medical skills and was relieved upon hearing this. If they were truly not meant to be, then so be it.
Just two months ago, when Cuihua accompanied Li to deliver something to Lanhua, she suddenly vomited upon smelling the fishy odor.
It was one thing for her to vomit, but the orchid next to her also started vomiting.
Mrs. Li was terrified, thinking the fish might be poisonous. But when she called Dr. Zhao over, he discovered both women were pregnant. And within days of each other! Even Dr. Zhao remarked that the two sisters were remarkably in sync, their babies arriving at the same time.
Mrs. Li was overjoyed and repeatedly prayed for the blessings of her ancestors.
However, with both daughters pregnant, Li was always too busy taking care of one to take care of the other.
Cuihua said, "I've already given birth once, so I have experience. Jinhai and Yuanyuan can help me with anything. If all else fails, my mother-in-law can come over. Lanhua doesn't have a mother-in-law, and this is her first pregnancy, so she doesn't know much about things. Mother, please take good care of Lanhua."
Li thought it made sense. Seeing Lan Hua's silly expression after she found out she was pregnant, she decided to stay at the Yu family's house.
However, even though she was taking care of the orchids, she was still worried about Cuihua.
Especially after the last time Li's nephew's wife, who was pregnant before she even reached marriageable age, miscarried, she often wondered if Cuihua's inability to conceive over the years was also because she got pregnant and gave birth immediately after getting married.
She would occasionally visit Cuihua and find that Cuihua's reaction was quite severe. Compared to Lanhua's hearty appetite, Cuihua was truly suffering.
In this situation, Lai Jinhai had no choice but to bring his elderly mother over.
Lai's mother had long wanted to live in the county town. Her house was small, and with so many children, she found it very tiring to live in such a cramped environment. Although she was supposed to come to the county town to take care of Cuihua, she would actually be the one who would have an easier time.
With Lai's mother taking care of her, at least Cuihua didn't have to worry about her three meals a day.
However, one time when Li delivered something to Cuihua, she discovered that Lai's mother had brought her two children with her, saying that they should follow their cousin Yuanyuan to study and learn to read.
That would have been fine, but the problem was that the two kids were really naughty, running around the house. Yuan Yuan was sweating profusely from trying to catch them, which not only interfered with his studies but also prevented Cui Hua from getting any rest.
Li was furious on the spot and went in to have a big argument with Lai's mother.
They even called Lai Jinhai back from the shop and gave him a severe scolding. Lai Jinhai had no idea what was going on. The two children came over when he went out to work. It seemed that their mother had come to the county town to go to the market and had temporarily left the children at Lai's house for her to look after.
Li didn't care whether he knew or not, and she reasonably suspected that the Lai family had deliberately sent the two children to test the waters first. If the two children successfully moved in, then any member of the Lai family could move in later.
This is not impossible, after all, Lai's parents have proposed several times in recent years to follow Lai Jinhai in the county town.
In the end, Lai Jinhai refused him with various excuses.
Li felt this was highly likely to happen, and she immediately asked Lai Jinhai to take Lai's mother home.
