The older brother was already fourteen years old and could be used like an adult. The younger brother, on the other hand, was only eleven and still a child. He could only do so much work, so he was more like half an adult.
Lin Chaonan didn't pay attention to Lin Chaobei's blatant little thoughts. He was more curious about how the child would "serve" him, or if the child would just help with chores, and whether the child would belong to him in the future.
Thinking this way, Lin Chaonan asked, "Why can't I just ask my own mother?"
"We'll see. Before your sister-in-law finishes her postpartum confinement, those two children will stay with you two. We'll talk about what happens after that later. Our family can't just buy three people; we need more people to take care of the land we have."
Yue Jiuyue wasn't sure either, because she was still thinking that if the person wasn't honest, she would give them a bad review and send them back.
As for what happens to those who are returned, that's none of Yue Jiuyue's business. After all, she bought these people to enjoy their "services." If they don't do their job well, that's their own problem, and they should bear the consequences of their own actions.
"Oh, a month? That's fine too."
Lin Chaobei nodded. As for asking his mother for someone a month later, what could his mother do but give it to him?
If they won't give it to him, then he can just go to the brokerage in town and buy one himself. It won't cost much anyway, and he'll have someone to help him with the work. It's a good deal no matter how you look at it.
The topic was dropped. As for why Liu and the others didn't come over to help cook dinner, it was because no one knew their identities beforehand, and no one went to ask them. They were newcomers, and they didn't want to be gossipy. Didn't they hear that the old lady had a fight with the master as soon as she returned at noon, and they even got physical?
"By the way, didn't Dr. Li come over this morning? What did he say? How is Dazhuang? Did he take a look at your sister-in-law?"
During dinner, Yue Jiuyue suddenly remembered this matter. She had been thinking about it all day, but when she got back, she was so angry with Lin Chaodong that she just wanted to beat him up to vent her anger, and she forgot about it.
"Mom, Dazhuang is fine. Dr. Li said he's doing well, eating and sleeping well. He'll definitely grow up to be a good young man. It's just that my sister-in-law might not be doing so well. I don't know exactly what's wrong. Dr. Li didn't tell us either. When my older brother went to see Dr. Li off, his face turned pale, but he recovered quickly. I hope the problem isn't too serious."
Lin Chaobei said uncertainly.
When it came to matters concerning the children, Dr. Li readily answered all their questions. But when it came to asking their sister-in-law, Dr. Li frowned and remained silent, as did Lin Chaodong, who also kept a straight face. After all, she was their sister-in-law, and they couldn't very well press her for answers.
Yue Jiuyue frowned upon hearing this. Something had happened to Madam Liu? Could it be something else entirely?
After the meal, Yue Jiuyue still went to the back. Although she didn't want to get involved, how could she really not care?
"Man'er's mother, how are you today? Is your milk supply sufficient? Is the baby fussy? What did Dr. Li say?"
Well, she just has low emotional intelligence; she was practically asking Liu Shi directly what was wrong.
"mother……"
Tears welled in Liu's eyes, and she choked with sobs, unable to speak.
Lin Chaodong wiped his face, trying to smile and say he was fine, but his lips felt incredibly heavy, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't lift them.
