It would be great if my dad could come and help out, but my younger brother isn't married yet, and my dad has to work hard to earn money to buy a house for his son. He doesn't have time for me. We can't afford to pay him a salary, we can't afford to rely on him!
Yu Hai quickly changed the subject; if they continued, his brother-in-law would also come and stay with them.
By then, the money my husband and I earn will have to support seven people. Even if I were a rabbit carrying money home, I still couldn't support so many people.
"Let's focus more on my dad from now on, take good care of him, and after half a year of recuperation, his health should be almost fully recovered."
If he can help us take care of the kids, we can both get away from work and earn money. It'll only be hard work for four years at most. Once the kids start kindergarten, my dad can handle just picking them up and dropping them off by himself.
Then your mother can go back and arrange your brother's wedding. That way, everyone's schedules will be more flexible, and nothing will be delayed.
Liu Lan thought about it and realized this was the best solution; there were no other options. She couldn't very well give up an income and become a stay-at-home mom, could she?
That won't do. She doesn't want to stay home every day, taking care of the kids, cooking, cleaning, and turning into a haggard housewife. Yu Hai's job is becoming more and more promising; he'll definitely be able to give her a good life in the future.
I must maintain a good image and not let my life go wrong. I don't want to be a foolish woman like Yu Hai's ex-wife.
"Brother Hai, my belly is about to burst, and we haven't made any preparations for our wedding yet! You'd better put in a lot of effort." Liu Lan hugged Yu Hai's neck and acted coquettishly.
"Didn't we already discuss it? We'll hold the wedding on May Day. We'll rent a wedding dress in advance, find a restaurant, and have about ten tables. It'll be simple."
The most important thing now is to quickly find a few people to do some basic renovations on the house, otherwise it will look terrible for the wedding.
"Aren't we going to take wedding photos? And aren't we going to hire a decorating company to properly renovate our wedding room? Ten tables? How many people can we even accommodate?"
Upon hearing Yu Hai's tone, Liu Lan realized something was off. How could all the specifications have been reduced so much, turning into simplified versions? She immediately sat up in bed.
Yu Hai quickly sat up as well, trying to soothe Liu Lan: "Honey, don't get angry, don't get angry. You need to take care of the child. How come your mother's irritability is hereditary too!"
Liu Lan shoved him hard, "You still dare to look down on my mother? No matter what, she's still better than your father, that sickly man. He can't help with anything, except when he's sick and hospitalized, he has to spend money and be taken care of."
"How can you talk like that? I was just joking, why are you making personal attacks?"
"You've known my dad's health isn't something you only recently discovered; it's been like this for years before we got married. Let's stick to the facts and stop making things difficult."
Yu Hai was also unhappy. He was already upset because he hadn't taken good care of his father, and Liu Lan was adding insult to injury.
"Yu Hai, you're a real jerk! How am I being unreasonable? If you wanted to sleep with me, you'd be my precious darling and sweetheart. It's only been two months since we last slept together, and you dare to turn on me and say I'm being unreasonable? Did I say something wrong?"
"What did you promise me before? What about the beach wedding photos? What about the luxurious decorations? What about the banquet hall with fifty tables in a five-star hotel? Nothing is left. I can't even talk about it anymore?" Liu Lan's face was covered in tears, her eyes wide with anger.
Yu Hai was momentarily speechless. He rubbed his face and calmed himself down. "Lan, when we first started dating, weren't we all aiming for happiness and a wonderful future?"
"It's not like your sudden pregnancy forces us to change plans! If you could give me another two years, I'd definitely arrange all of this for you!"
"Is it my fault that you're pregnant? Where am I supposed to get pregnant all by myself? Ever since your divorce, you've been living the high life, you don't even need condoms anymore, it's no fun! Now you're having a blast, but I'm suffering with you while I'm all pregnant."
You're not taking wedding photos anymore, you're not going to renovate the house, and I don't think you even want to have a wedding banquet.
"You're getting married for the second time, so it doesn't matter to you. But I'm a virgin, and if I don't have a big wedding, our relatives and friends will think I'm your secret lover!"
Yu Hai quickly tried to calm things down, saying they couldn't keep arguing, because the more they argued, the more mistakes they would make, and it would never end.
Yu Hai used all his charm, showering Liu Lan with sweet words and touching and hugging her until almost one o'clock, when he finally held Liu Lan and they fell asleep together.
The next morning at six o'clock, Yu Hai got up first. He went to a breakfast shop and bought three steamed buns, two bowls of millet porridge, and two tea eggs. He ate one serving himself first, then woke Liu Lan up, and Yu Hai went to the hospital.
I bought my dad a bowl of tofu pudding, a grilled chicken cutlet, and a tea egg at a breakfast shop near the hospital before going inside.
The caregiver hadn't arrived yet, so Yu Hai quickly helped his father wash his hands and face and eat breakfast.
Yu Zhaohua was very happy to see that her son had come to the hospital to take care of her early this morning, and she ate all the breakfast her son had bought for her.
Seeing that his father's appetite had increased significantly today and that he was eating quite a lot, Yu Hai gradually relaxed.
She was determined to pay more attention to her father in the future, because only when her father was healthy would her own life not be in such a mess.
