This time, it was Wang Qian's turn to feel embarrassed.
He then realized that he might have been worrying too much.
People are different!
Lin Xiaoyu is not Liu Yanran.
Lin Chao is not Liu Yanran's younger brother.
If he remembers correctly, his brother-in-law, Lin Chao, was a rather shy, introverted, and honest person.
I blush even when I talk to him.
They are meticulous in everything they do, and they never complain about their parents or blame others.
In addition, he is currently facing a serious shortage of manpower. If Lin Chao could help him, he could indeed keep the potato and corn business running.
Otherwise, if he takes Lin Xiaoyu to the county hospital, these businesses will have to be temporarily suspended.
"Okay, then I'll go to my parents' house tomorrow morning!"
After careful consideration, Wang Qian finally listened to Lin Xiaoyu's advice.
...
the next day.
Wang Qian got up early in the morning, washed up, and set off on his own.
Before setting off, he took a few pounds of meat from home, bought a pot of rice wine and a few boxes of biscuits from the village store.
After all, if you're going to visit relatives, how can you enter without bringing something?
Moreover, his father-in-law's family was also in poor condition; they kept an old water buffalo and basically made a living by farming.
Although my brother-in-law is an adult, he is not yet married and cannot stand on his own.
My mother-in-law is getting on in years and her health isn't very good, so she can't do heavy work.
Although my father-in-law often does manual labor for others, his income is not high.
The girl they raised with great difficulty has married into his family and has made virtually no contribution to her own family.
Compare that to yourself again.
At the age of twenty-one, he was still in college, never thinking about food or clothing. Every day, besides studying, he indulged in all sorts of unrealistic dreams and was heartbroken over budding romance.
Therefore, he still felt somewhat guilty towards his wife's family.
...
"Brother-in-law, what brings you here?"
As soon as Wang Qian entered the yard carrying gifts, Lin Chao, who was feeding the water buffalo, immediately grinned.
Lin Chao is tall and thin with slightly dark skin and delicate features.
If it weren't for his tattered clothes, he would definitely be considered a handsome man.
After all, his wife is Lin Chao's sister, and she is a beauty that is one in a thousand. How ugly could his wife's brother be?
"Xiao Chao, it's been a long time!"
Wang Qian smiled and strode towards Lin Chao.
"Brother-in-law, why did you bring so much stuff?"
Lin Chao was somewhat flattered. He hurriedly dropped the grass in his hand, wiped his clothes with his palm, and then came over to receive it with trepidation.
"It's already so kind of you to come see us, why did you have to buy all this..."
"Huh, there's even meat?"
Lin Chao had only been polite for a moment, but when he saw the meat in the plastic bag, he was immediately surprised.
This meat must weigh at least five or six pounds.
It would cost more than ten yuan to buy that.
Where are Mom and Dad?
As Wang Qian handed the things in his hand to Lin Chao, he asked, "Aren't they home?"
"Here I am!"
Lin Chao nodded and immediately turned around and called into the house, "Dad, Mom, brother-in-law is here!"
"Xiao Qian is here?"
A woman's voice came from inside the house.
Then, the two people came out of the house.
A man and a woman, both around fifty years old.
The man had white hair and a face full of wrinkles.
The woman also had graying temples and a weathered face, looking as if life had worn her down.
But upon seeing Wang Qian, both elderly people showed kind smiles.
"Dad, Mom, have you had breakfast yet?"
Wang Qian hurriedly stepped forward to greet them.
As for asking if someone has eaten, this is the most common greeting in rural areas in this era.
"I haven't eaten yet."
Lin Youfu smiled, then said to Lin Chao, "Xiao Chao, hurry up and get a stool for your brother-in-law to sit on?"
"Ah? Oh, okay!"
Lin Chao realized what was happening and hurriedly went inside to bring out two wooden stools, placing one in front of Wang Qian and the other in front of Lin Youfu.
"Xiao Qian, please sit down!"
Lin Youfu sat down first, and then gestured for Wang Qian to sit down as well.
Just then, Ai Xiaomi said, "Xiao Qian hasn't eaten yet, has he? I'll go make something to eat!"
"Mom, no need, I'm not hungry!"
Wang Qian hurriedly waved his hand, "Besides, I'm in a hurry to get back, so you don't need to trouble yourself."
"Rushing back?"
Ai Xiaomi asked, "Is there something urgent?"
"Dad, Mom, Xiaoyu is about to give birth!" Wang Qian said with a smile.
"Is Xiaoyu about to give birth?"
Ai Xiaomi was both surprised and delighted. "Then I'll have to pack my clothes. I need to go to your house to take care of her."
With that, Ai Xiaomi turned around and prepared to walk into the house.
"Mom, no need!"
Wang Qian quickly stopped him, "I'm going to take Xiaoyu to the hospital in the county town to deliver her baby."
"To the hospital in the county town?"
Ai Xiaomi was taken aback, then turned around and said, "That would be too much trouble. Why not just have the village midwife deliver the baby?"
"Hospitals in the county town are safer, and I don't want Xiaoyu to take any risks."
"I see..."
Ai Xiaomi asked with surprise and doubt, "Going to the hospital in the county town must cost a lot of money, right?"
"As long as Xiaoyu and the child are safe, spending a little more money is fine."
At this moment, Lin Youfu, who was standing next to him, asked again, "Xiao Qian, I heard that you've been doing potato and corn business lately. Is that true?"
"yes!"
Wang Qian nodded. "I'm trying to earn money so that I can take Xiaoyu to the hospital in the county town to deliver her baby."
