Before she knew it, Zhao Shufang's lips curled into a smile.
When Lin Chaosheng saw her like this, he knew that his mother must have imagined what kind of scene.
"Mom, what wonderful thing have you thought of? Why are you smiling so happily?"
"What's it to you?"
Zhao Shufang rolled her eyes at Lin Chaosheng; the more she looked at these men, the more they bothered her.
"Xiaomei, have you been feeling unwell lately?"
Zhao Shufang glanced at Liang Mei standing inside the doorway and saw that she was protecting her belly with both hands, and her fair face exuded a unique maternal aura.
"Mom, I'm perfectly healthy, I don't feel uncomfortable at all, and the baby in my belly is being very good. I only had morning sickness for a few days at the beginning."
Zhao Shufang knew this, and he was now increasingly convinced that Liang Meihuai was the lucky star of the Lin family.
"I remember your prenatal checkup is coming up soon, right?"
Liang Mei nodded and looked at her husband.
"Yes, Chaosheng mentioned this to me today."
"What, he won't let you go for your prenatal checkup?" Zhao Shufang's face darkened immediately upon hearing this, and she glared fiercely at her eldest son.
"For a woman, pregnancy and childbirth are always a step that teeters on the brink of death. In the past, the family didn't have the means, but now that the family is wealthy, they have to be prepared for every step."
"Let me tell you, Lin Chaosheng. You absolutely have to make Xiaomei go for these prenatal checkups, and they have to be done properly. Otherwise, you'll regret it if something goes wrong."
As Zhao Shufang spoke, she almost got angry at herself, "Don't blame me for disowning you as my son later!"
"Mom, what are you talking about?"
Lin Chaosheng said, both amused and exasperated, "It was clearly your daughter-in-law who didn't want to go for prenatal checkups, thinking it was a waste of our hard-earned money. I had to persuade her to agree to go to the hospital for prenatal checkups, and as soon as you came back, you blamed me without even asking what happened. Even if I'm your son, you can't treat me like this, can you?"
"Oh, oh, really..." Zhao Shufang said somewhat embarrassedly, "This is nothing. How many times have I wronged you since we were little?"
"Alright, alright, let's not talk about these things anymore. Xiao Fu and I still need to wash and dry everything."
After lunch, everyone rested for a while. In the afternoon, Lin Chaosheng and Lin Shansheng went to see the lacquer mixer.
"Is the paint mixed?"
Lin Chaosheng glanced at the ground but couldn't see which color hadn't been mixed yet, so he asked about it.
"These two colors are ready, you can use them now. The other two colors will have to wait until tomorrow."
The paint mixer pointed to the paint buckets on the ground, which were white and green.
"Okay, these guarantees should be enough for us. If not, I can come to you."
"Don't worry, it'll definitely be enough. I've been doing this for years."
The lacquer mixer patted his chest and assured him, so Lin Chaosheng and Lin Shansheng loaded all the lacquer mixing buckets onto the donkey cart and transported them to their own yard.
“Our courtyard is almost finished, so we don’t need that many people anymore. We only need 10 people to do the plastering, and the rest of us can go home. Before you go home, you can go to the cook’s place and get a bag of six steamed buns.”
Lin Chaosheng is a man of integrity and knows the importance of reciprocity. He is by no means a heartless boss and is actually very generous.
That way, when his family needs help again in the future, these people will definitely be willing to continue doing the work.
"Oh, Brother Lin is so generous! We've finished all the work, and we still get to collect steamed buns!"
"If you ask me, Brother Lin, you should become a contractor in the future. Your construction team will definitely be the most popular around here."
"It's not just here; with a boss as good as Brother Lin, he's bound to become one of the top in the country!"
These people are praising Lam Chiu-sang to the skies.
Fortunately, Lin Chaosheng wasn't the type to get carried away by a few words from others; on the contrary, he became even more vigilant.
No matter what, being down-to-earth is always the best choice.
In the end, Lin Chaosheng and Lin Shansheng picked and chose, keeping 10 people and sending the rest home.
"Starting at 9 a.m. tomorrow, everyone can come here to collect their steamed buns with the tickets we just gave you. We didn't have enough time today, so we didn't make that many. Please come and collect them all tomorrow. Thank you for making another trip."
Lin Chaosheng handled the matter well and spoke tactfully, so no one raised any objections.
"Alright, Chaosheng, we'll be going now. Thank you for taking care of us all this time. We all remember it."
"Yes, Chaosheng, thank you so much for everything these past few days. If you ever need any work in the future, please remember to let us know. Even if we don't have any food to eat, we'll come and help you!"
"right!"
"We'll help you with that too!"
Lin Chaosheng looked at them, feeling a touch of emotion in his heart.
"Thank you all for your hard work during this time. I will definitely ask you for help again if I need anything in the future."
Lin Chaosheng watched them leave, and in the end, only ten men remained standing in the large courtyard.
The yard was surprisingly large. Lin Chaosheng looked at them, explained how to scrape the white paint, and demonstrated it himself.
After supervising the work for a while, I sent several workers who couldn't do a good job of plastering back home, leaving only six workers behind.
"Let's stew some frozen tofu tonight, add some kelp and vermicelli, and steam some buns and twisted rolls. It'll be so delicious."
Lin Chaosheng was talking to the old lady cooking in the yard. The old lady was kneading dough in her hands. When she came, she was thin and pale, but now she had gained a lot of weight and her eyes were bright and piercing.
"Alright! I'll make this dish tonight."
The old woman readily agreed.
Lin Shansheng was wearing a small triangular hat made of newspaper and had become addicted to plastering the house with white paint.
"Big brother, I heard from Mom this morning that Liang Fu's birthday is coming up in the next couple of days. Do you think I should prepare a gift for her?"
"We're family, what's there to prepare?"
"Since you gave me gold jewelry, wouldn't it be a bit inappropriate for me not to give you a gift in return?"
"She's my sister-in-law, she has nothing to do with you. It's perfectly normal for me to give her a gift, but why are you giving her one? Could it be..."
Upon hearing this, Lin Shansheng's face immediately turned red, and he said, "What are you saying, brother? Liang Fu is my sister. I like someone like Sister Qiaozhen..."
