Lin Chaosheng naturally wouldn't refute Liang Mei's point of view. To put it more dramatically, whatever Liang Mei says goes at home now.
When he gets home and tells his parents about this, they'll definitely treat Liang Mei like royalty.
At that point, not only will he have no say in the family, but he might even abandon his own son, who is as big as him.
"Okay, let's go with these two colors. I think they're both pretty good-looking, and both boys and girls can use them."
Lin Chaosheng scratched his head and said, "Besides buying this fabric, what else do we need to buy?"
Liang Mei was also a little confused, after all, it was their first time being parents and they didn't know what to prepare.
The salesperson immediately recognized them as new parents and began making recommendations.
"I see you're not very far along in your pregnancy, so it's too early to prepare baby supplies. Your priority right now is to take good care of the pregnant woman so that the baby will be born healthy. As for buying clothes for the baby, you can wait until you're seven or eight months pregnant."
The salesperson wasn't saying that to make a sale, since he mainly sells baby products.
If they wanted to make more money, they wouldn't have said these things to Lin Chaosheng and Liang Mei.
"Okay, thank you, comrade. We'll take these two pieces of cloth for now, and we'll come back to you to buy more if we need anything else in the future."
"Okay, dear, settle the payment here and I'll issue you the invoice."
The receiving clerk quickly borrowed the money, prepared the receipts, and handed the package to Lin Chaosheng.
After buying those items, the two went to buy some supplements for pregnant women, such as malted milk powder, and whatever else was good for pregnant women.
Finally, despite Liang Mei's strong dissuasion, they bought a lot of things, almost overflowing the bicycle, before heading home.
"Oh my, you're buying all this stuff!"
The two people were riding bicycles and had just entered the village entrance when they were spotted by sharp-eyed elderly people.
"Chaosheng, you can't just throw money away when you have it. Will you even be able to use any of these things you bought?"
"That's right, if it's not used, the money is just wasted!"
"A person shouldn't have money in their hands, because once they have money, they'll get arrogant."
"You guys are really showing off. They have money to spend as they please, why are you making such a fuss? And didn't you see that they bought all sorts of supplements? Maybe they're just trying to give the pregnant woman some good nutrition. You bunch of short-sighted people, no wonder you'll never make a lot of money in your lives."
The woman beside them was talking to Lin Chaosheng and the other man.
"Thank you, Aunt Sun, for explaining all this to us. These are all supplements I bought for Xiaomei. She's heavily pregnant with twins, so she needs to take good care of herself!"
Lin Chaosheng announced the good news to everyone with great joy.
"Huh? Twins?"
An old man stared wide-eyed at Liang Mei's belly and said in surprise, "We haven't had twins on this island for years. I never thought that the Lin family would get all the good things."
"This shows that the Lin family is blessed, and these two children are blessed too. Otherwise, why wouldn't they have come to your family instead of the Lin family?"
Lin Chaosheng was happy to hear this, and immediately said with a smile, "Who knows, the reason why our Lin family is so prosperous today is because of the two children my wife is carrying. Maybe they are the lucky stars of our Lin family."
Lin Chaosheng's words were a mix of truth and falsehood, but he didn't mind promoting his two children.
These days, people are a bit superstitious, and they believe that as long as Old Lin is alive, his family will never decline.
Regardless of whether his and Liang Mei's two children will amount to anything in the future, as long as the Lin family continues to prosper, no one will question their identities.
"Oh dear, now that you mention it, it does seem to be true!"
An old woman slapped her thigh and muttered to herself, "It seems that the Lin family's fortunes really did change after Liang Mei got pregnant, getting better and better. Lin Chaosheng isn't senile anymore, he doesn't like to study anymore, and he's become quite capable..."
"It really seems to be true, this is truly amazing..."
Seeing this, Liang Mei patted Lin Chaosheng on the shoulder and said, "What nonsense are you spouting to them? What if they believe it?"
"I'm just saying this as a last resort. Whether they believe it or not is their business. What can they do? Call the police to arrest me?"
After saying that, Lin Chaosheng rode his bicycle home with Liang Mei on the back.
"Mom and Dad, we're back!"
Lin Chaosheng parked the bicycle and then carefully helped Liang Mei down.
"Oh, there's no need to be so careful. I'm only four months pregnant, there's no need to be so cautious."
Although she enjoyed her husband's attentive service, Liang Mei still verbally stopped Lin Chaosheng.
"You're back?" Zhao Shufang wiped her hands on her apron as she came out of the main room and asked, "How did the prenatal checkup go? Was it smooth? What did the doctor say?"
"It went very smoothly. The doctor said everything was fine, and there was even a surprise."
Lin Shanhai also came out of the room at this time. After hearing what Lin Chaosheng said, he laughed and said, "You rascal, we hear surprises from you every day."
"How can you blame me? Life is full of surprises!"
Lin Chaosheng chuckled and put his arm around Liang Mei beside him. "Is everyone ready? I have something important to announce."
Liang Fu and Su Hang also ran out of the house and stood outside, looking at Lin Chaosheng and Liang Mei with curiosity.
"What exactly happened? Sis, brother-in-law, please tell us quickly!"
"Exactly, you guys just stand there without saying anything, it's making us really itchy to talk."
"Ahem!" Lin Chaosheng deliberately kept everyone in suspense, suggesting they wait until they were scratching their heads in anticipation, before loudly announcing, "Our family will soon have two more members."
Everyone was a little stunned and didn't react for a moment, but Zhao Shufang was the first to react.
She slapped her thigh excitedly, her eyes fixed on Liang Mei's belly with a look of surprise and delight.
"Oh my goodness, could it really be what I'm thinking?!"
Liang Mei lowered her head shyly.
"Two, two?"
Lin Shanhai's voice trembled as he stared in disbelief at Liang Mei's stomach.
"This idea never even crossed their minds. They always thought that having one child was already a blessing from God. Who would have thought that there would be two?"
"Two?!" Liang Fu ran over in shock. "Sister, are you having twins?"
"My goodness, this is the first time I've ever seen twins. I hope they won't look exactly alike when they're born?"
Su Hang exclaimed in shock.
"They probably won't be exactly the same, right? If it's a boy and a girl who look exactly alike, wouldn't that be strange?"
