"When my sister-in-law saw me coming over, she said a few words to Xiaoman'er, but I stopped her. I think Xiaoman'er is fine this way, and she won't suffer when she grows up."
Oh, right, Mom, my older brother said he wants to take my sister-in-law to the town clinic tomorrow. I remember you said you'd wait until the snow melted, but won't it be too cold to go now? The roads aren't easy to travel either…”
Lin Chaobei didn't understand the complexities of pregnancy and childbirth, but he remembered how terrifying Liu Shi's screams were when she gave birth to Xiao Man'er. Seeing Liu Shi's enormous belly, he couldn't even imagine what would happen if the journey were bumpy...
"Sigh! I told them this, but they wouldn't listen! Back then, it was because I told them to eat less at each meal, that they could eat eight meals a day without any problems, and to walk around more, plus there was also the matter of Xiaoman'er at the time, that they moved to the back and stopped coming over for meals."
If I go over there now and say it's too cold and the roads are too slippery, I don't know what they'll think of me! They might even think I'm just being stingy about paying for a doctor's visit. Why should I be the bad guy?
"Don't ask me for advice. He's your older brother, so just say what you want to say. If you don't want to offend anyone, don't push these potentially offensive things onto me. I don't want to meddle anymore."
Yue Jiuyue would never be that "bad person"!
"mother!"
Lin Chaobei pleaded, "What if something really happens if my mother doesn't take care of me?"
"This matter is really beyond my control. Like I said, either you tell your brother what you really think, or you listen to your brother. Just don't drag me into it!"
Yue Jiuyue wouldn't tolerate these people, even if she was their biological mother, she wasn't someone to take the blame for them. No one could use family ties to blackmail her!
After saying that, Yue Jiuyue quickened her eating pace a little, ignoring Lin Chaobei's sighs and groans. She finished eating and went back to her room, locking the door behind her.
Lin Chaobei: ╮（╯＿╰）╭
Sigh! He wanted to sigh even more.
"Third Brother..."
Lin Chaobei wanted to ask Lin Chaonan for advice, but Lin Chaonan had just finished eating. He put his bowl and chopsticks on the table, left with the words "You wash the dishes," and went out.
As for where he went, who knows? Does he have to report before he goes out?
Lin Chaobei was frustrated. If he had known... if he had known that his older brother was going to take his sister-in-law to see a doctor in town tomorrow, he wouldn't have refused to help Xiaoman serve the dishes!
Where could Lin Chaonan go? Of course, he'd go to Lin Chaodong's place behind the house.
"Brother, the snow on the road hasn't melted yet. As soon as the sun comes out, the ground is all muddy, and the road is difficult to travel. Are you sure you want to go to town tomorrow?"
Lin Chaodong hesitated for a moment, then glanced at Liu Shi, and seeing her eating by herself, he turned back to Lin Chaonan and said:
"Yes! I definitely have to go!"
Lin Chaonan nodded and left after hearing this.
Lin Chaonan left, but Liu suddenly threw down her chopsticks.
"What does he mean? Or is this Mother's idea? What's wrong? I can't even go to the clinic to have the doctor check on the baby in my belly? Besides, wasn't it Mother who first brought this up? Why are you stopping me now that I want to go? What, are you putting my belly in this position to save face?"
Xiao Man'er was so frightened that she tried to minimize her presence, keeping her head down and eating her rice without making the slightest noise, for fear that Liu Shi's anger would be vented on her.
