Chapter 297: Don't Pamper Her (Page 1/2)
Lin Man smiled and said, "Grandma, times have changed. In the past, people only needed to raise their children, but now it's different. Raising children requires careful care and a lot of energy.
Besides, children’s education is very important nowadays, so I want to wait until An Ning is older before having a third child.”
"So that's how it is. But it's true that children nowadays are more delicate." Old Madam Xiao nodded to show her understanding.
"Grandma, are you feeling well?" Lin Man asked with concern.
"My health is pretty good, but I'm old, so it's normal to have some minor ailments." Mrs. Xiao said with a smile.
"That's good. If you feel unwell, be sure to tell us." Lin Man reminded.
"I know. Don't worry, I won't hide it from you." Old Madam Xiao agreed with a smile.
The two chatted for a while, and Xiao Ya suddenly came in and said, "Mom, the auspicious time has come, it's time to send Si Jie out."
"Then let's go! Xiao Man, how are you going to take care of these two children?"
"We came here by bicycle. I'll take An'an and let Qinghuan take Ningning over. Qingci will go pick out her dowry later."
Lin Man carried Huo Yian out of the room, and Huo Yining followed closely behind.
"Ningning, go find your uncle and ask him to take you there."
"Mom, the bicycle key is with Dad."
Lin Man went to find Huo Qingci and said, "Qingci, give the key to Qinghuan and ask him to take your son there."
"No need, I can ride the bicycle myself. I have agreed with Dad to just tie the two quilts to the back seat of the bicycle. My uncle will carry one load of quilts, and Qingyan will carry the rest of the dowry."
"Then let Qinghuan ride my bike over there."
Huo Qinghuan came over and said, "Sister-in-law, please go first. I want to help my uncle carry the cage."
"Okay, then I'll take An An away first."
At this time, Ling Fei came out of the room and called out, "Sister-in-law, can you take me back with you?"
Lin Man felt a little numb on her scalp. Ling Fei had such a big belly, how could she dare to carry her? If she fell, it would not only be one death and two lives, but maybe three lives. Wasn't she deliberately making things difficult for her?
"Sister-in-law, you're pregnant, so it's best not to ride a bicycle. It would be bad if you fell."
"But no one's driving here, and it takes about ten minutes to walk back. My legs are a little swollen."
Lin Man really wanted to curse. Since her legs were starting to swell up in the late stages of pregnancy, why did she run over to watch the fun just now? Wasn't this just looking for trouble?
No matter what, there was no way she would go to give Ling Fei a ride. Even if she was offered a hundred yuan for the fare, she would not agree.
Lin Man refused again, "I'm sorry, sister-in-law, I really can't take you there. It would be troublesome if you fell."
Ling Fei said, "Sister-in-law, it's really hard for me to walk. How about you push me over with your bicycle?"
After hearing this, Lin Man felt a surge of anger in her heart, but she managed to suppress it and only raised her voice and shouted, "Huo Qingyan, come here."
Hearing Lin Man's cry, Huo Qingyan hurriedly squeezed out of the crowd, walked up to Lin Man, and asked with a puzzled look on his face: "Sister-in-law, what's the matter?"
Lin Man handed him the bicycle key in a bad mood, and then explained: "Your wife wants to ride a bicycle, but she is pregnant and I dare not take her. She asked me to push her. You can handle it yourself!"
At this moment, the atmosphere in the living room became extremely tense. All the relatives of the Xiao, Liao, and Lin families turned their eyes to Ling Fei, their eyes full of doubt and dissatisfaction.

They really couldn't understand why Ling Fei came here with such a big belly. Could it be that she couldn't see the excitement by waiting at home?
Faced with everyone's doubts and accusations, Ling Fei felt very embarrassed and wronged, with tears welling up in her eyes.
Huo Qingyan was at a loss as to how to deal with the current situation.
He glared at his wife who was throwing a tantrum, then looked at Lin Man helplessly, trying to seek help.
However, Lin Man pretended not to see it, picked up her son and walked out of the living room, went to the yard, put her son in the child seat on the crossbar of the bicycle, and prepared to ride away.
Ling Fei felt a little uncomfortable when she saw Lin Man ignored her and left. Huo Qingyan sighed and saw that his wife had a gloomy face, so he had to comfort her.
"Fei Fei, if you find it difficult to leave, you can wait for me to deliver the dowry and then I'll go borrow a car from my boss to pick you up, okay?"
Although Ling Fei was being pretentious, she was not really stupid. If she really did that with so many people around, these relatives would definitely talk about her behind her back.
"No need, Qingyan, didn't you come here by bicycle? Otherwise, you can ask Liao Sijie's uncle to pick out the dowry and you can take me back."
Huo Qingyan nodded helplessly and agreed, "Okay then, I'll drive you there, and let Sijie's uncle pick out the dowry. The bride is leaving soon, I'll go talk to Dad."
Ling Fei knew that her own man still loved her, and outsiders were just outsiders, and they could never become relatives.
As soon as Huo Qingyan left, Ling Fei said to Zhao Xiaoxia, "Xiaoxia, you follow them on foot later. Qingyan and I will go first."
"I understand, Sister Ling."
After the relatives on both sides moved Liao Sijie's dowry out of the yard, Lin Jing went to the room and carried the bride out.
Before leaving, Mrs. Xiao and her two daughters-in-law said a lot of auspicious words to the newlyweds, and then the groom carried the bride out.
When the bride and groom came out, Lin Man had already left with her youngest son to avoid being pestered by Ling Fei.
Liao Sijie got on Lin Jing's bicycle. Those who were picking up the bride or sending her off, those who had bicycles rode bicycles, and those who didn't walked. Anyway, it only took about ten minutes to walk there.
Huo Qingci tied two new quilts to the back seat of the bicycle with red nylon ropes, and then held the little fat boy Huo Yining and sat him on the crossbar seat of the bicycle.
Huo Qingyan asked Liao Sijie's uncle to pick out the dowry, while he rode his bicycle to take Ling Fei back.
Huo Qingyan sat on the bicycle first, with his feet touching the ground, and asked Ling Fei to get on first. However, Ling Fei sat for a long time but couldn't sit down.
I don’t know if it’s because the back seat of the bicycle is too high, or because Ling Fei is too short and has a big belly, but she can’t sit on the back seat alone.
Huo Qingyan had no choice but to tilt the bicycle to one side and said, "Fei Fei, I'll let Xiao Xia help you."
Zhao Xiaoxia hurried over to help and helped Ling Fei sit up.
Once seated, Huo Qingyan reminded her again, "Fei Fei, hold onto my waist tightly. I'll ride slowly, so don't fall off."
Ling Fei had no choice but to lie on Huo Qingyan's back, hugging his waist tightly. She said, "Qingyan, this road is full of stones and there are many small potholes. You have to be careful."
"I see. I don't know why you came here. You can see the bride by waiting at home." Huo Qingyan couldn't help but complain.
