Chapter 244: Huo Qinghuan's Complaints (Page 1/2)
Lin Man raised her eyes to glance at Ling Fei, who had a rosy complexion and was a little fat. How could she have gained weight so quickly in such a short time? She wondered if she was really pregnant with twins.
Lin Man carried the beef into the kitchen without thinking. Huo Qinghuan ran into the kitchen and said, "Sister-in-law, my brother asked me to help you wash the vegetables."
"No need, go play with An An, that guy is always talking about you."
"Sister-in-law, I'll move in with you when my cousin gets married!"
Lin Man didn't expect that Huo Qinghuan wanted to live with them so much. He probably guessed that they had good food, so he wanted to live with them.
If Liao Sijie gets married, Huo Qinghuan can indeed come and live with her. It is indeed not convenient to bring Ningning into the space when he turns three years old, so she can let him sleep with Huo Qinghuan.
If Huo Qinghuan moved in, she could help them with housework and take care of the children.
"Okay, when Sijie gets married, you can move in. But when you move in, you have to wash your own clothes and help with housework like your older brother, such as washing dishes, sweeping the floor, and taking care of the children."
"I understand, sister-in-law. I'm old enough now, and these tasks are nothing to me. When I have time in the future, I will learn how to cook from you."
Huo Qinghuan is a man who listens to advice. Lin Man still likes this brother-in-law more. They have been together on the island for a year or two, and she still trusts Huo Qinghuan.
"Okay, I'll teach you."
In the end, Huo Qinghuan did not go out to play, but took a basin to wash the cabbage, spinach and coriander.
Xiao Ya carried eggs into the kitchen and was very pleased to see her youngest son so diligent.
"Manman, Qinghuan is such a devoted listener to you and Qingci, yet he bickers with Qingyan every day at home. I wonder if the two brothers have conflicting auras."
Lin Man smiled and said, "Really?"
Huo Qinghuan, who was squatting on the ground breaking cabbage leaves, pursed his lips and said, "Sister-in-law, my second brother bullies me every day. He likes to refute whatever I say and never gives in to me.
My second sister-in-law sometimes supports my second brother, saying that his point of view is correct."
"What did they refute you?"
Huo Qinghuan said angrily, "I said it's men who decide whether to have a boy or a girl, but they said it's women who decide, and they also said only women can give birth."
Xiao Ya and Lin Man smiled at each other. They didn't expect that Huo Qingyan and Ling Fei were really not very smart.
The sex chromosomes are what determine a person's gender. The sperm in a male's sac contains two chromosomes: an X chromosome and a Y chromosome. Women, on the other hand, only produce eggs containing an X chromosome. Therefore, the male determines whether the child is a boy or a girl.
Lin Man asked Huo Qinghuan, "Why would you argue with them about this?"
"My second brother asked me to guess whether my second sister-in-law was pregnant with a boy or a girl. I said it was a girl and they seemed unhappy. Then they talked about who was responsible for the birth of a boy or a girl..."
So that's how it is. Could this couple be crazy? They have to argue over such a small matter.
Lin Man cut the beef into thin slices and put them in a large bowl, thinking that three pounds of beef would not be enough. Finally, she took out a turtle from the water tank and killed it. She also soaked two pounds of potato starch, thinking that together with the vegetables in the sieve, it should be enough.
She put the killed turtle into a large pot in the kitchen and stewed it for a while, then took it out and put it into a copper pot and brought it to the table.
They ate the soft-shelled turtle first, then the beef, and finally the vermicelli and vegetables. At the end of the meal, Huo Qingyan asked Ling Fei, "Fei Fei, are you full?"

Ling Fei replied, "If we had known that beef hotpot was so delicious, we should have brought a few more pounds of beef."
When Ling Fei said this, Huo Qingyan thought she was not full, so he said to her: "I will make you a bowl of beef noodles when we get home."
Huo Qinghuan said, "Second brother, please make me two bowls of beef noodles when you get home. I didn't even eat a few pieces of beef just now."
Seeing them say that, Lin Man said awkwardly, "There's not much soup base left in the pot. How about I use flour, eggs, and kimchi to fry some kimchi pancakes for everyone to try."
There are only three pounds of beef in total. There are eight adults, a teenager, and a child who likes to eat meat. Everyone has a good appetite. How can they eat all this beef?
Huo Qingci said, "Manman, I'll make the kimchi pancakes. You change An'an's pants. He just peed them."
"Okay." Lin Man responded.
Lin Man got up from the table and took Huo Yian back to the room to wash his butt and change his diaper and pants.
While his elder brother and sister-in-law were away, Huo Qingyan asked Liao Sijie, "Sijie, I heard from Lin Jing that you two are planning to get married at the end of the year?"
Liao Sijie nodded. "My mother wrote back to tell me that my aunt had told her about this matter. Now as long as my cousin and his wife agree, she has no objection."
Huo Qingyan asked again, "What do my elder brother and sister-in-law think?"
"My cousin and his wife agreed, so I'll move there after we get married."
"Is that so? Sijie, if you marry Lin Jing and you are free during the day, can you help me take care of your second cousin's wife? I will pay you a salary."
Liao Sijie was a little hesitant. Her marriage had not yet been decided, but her second cousin wanted her to help take care of a pregnant woman.
She looked at Xiao Ya cautiously, "Aunt..."
Xiao Ya said, "Don't listen to your second cousin's nonsense. If you marry Lin Jing, you should live a good life with him. Lin Jing's father is back to recuperate. You should take care of their daily life, cook for them and do the laundry."
Huo Qingyan complained quietly, "Mom, I'm worried about Feifei being at home with such a big belly."
Huo Li, who had been silent the whole time, said unhappily, "Since you are so worried about your wife, you can ask for leave and come back to take care of her."
Could it be that Ling Fei is a rich lady, and she needs someone to accompany her and serve her even when she is pregnant?
Huo Qingyan said anxiously, "Grandpa, we went to the hospital for a checkup this morning, and the doctor told me that my wife is pregnant with two children, so I have to take good care of her.
You have to be extra careful when you're pregnant with twins. My parents and I are at work, so she's the only one at home. What if something happens?"
Lin Man walked out of the room holding Huo Yian. After hearing what Huo Qingyan said, she suddenly understood why they came here.
It turned out that Huo Qingyan came here to show off the twins in his wife's belly, and to get Liao Sijie to serve Ling Fei.
Ling Fei's due date is May 25 next year. How long has she been pregnant? Why does she need someone to take care of her?
My grandfather is old and it is difficult for him to take care of one great-grandson. If he is left to take care of two, he will definitely not be able to handle it.
So she would never let Liao Sijie go if the school didn't have winter vacation. She didn't care whether Ling Fei was pregnant with twins or a single baby.
