Hearing the vomiting sound again, Li Jiakang and the others had complicated expressions.
Li Xu put down his chopsticks again, picked up the tea and started drinking.
Li Ping continued to pat Hu Guilan's back, saying in confusion, "This shouldn't be the case. You've already given birth to a child, so why would you have such a severe reaction?"
"You know shit. The severity of the reaction has nothing to do with how many children you've given birth to. When your mother was pregnant with Xiaomei, the reaction was even more severe. She vomited everything she ate."
Li Jiakang has five children and is definitely experienced in this area, so Li Ping chose to trust him.
"How did my mother solve the problem of not being able to eat?"
"If you can't eat, just starve. When you can't stand the hunger anymore, then bite your teeth and eat a little."
Li Ping was surprised. "My mother persisted until Xiaomei was born?"
"No, if it had been like this for so long, your mother would have given up. Fortunately, it only lasted for more than a month, and then everything was fine."
Li Ping finally breathed a sigh of relief. After thinking for a moment, he said, "If someone vomits for over a month, even a healthy person will become ill. Dad, please ask for a day off tomorrow so I can accompany Guilan to the hospital."
Hu Guilan quickly refused, "No, I can go by myself. Besides, it's not a big deal. My mother had the same problem when she was pregnant with my fifth brother. It will be fine after a while."
Only then did Li Jiakang speak up, "Guilan, let him go with you. In case anything happens, it will be easier to have someone to run errands."
Hu Guilan couldn't refuse his face, so she agreed.
After a while, Sun Xiu came in with a small bowl of egg custard. "Guilan, try it first. If it doesn't work, I'll think of another way."
Hu Guilan nodded, then picked up the big spoon in the basin, scooped some and put it into her mouth.
After more than ten seconds, seeing that there was no reaction, everyone felt relieved.
Li Ping's smile returned to his face. "This is good. I didn't vomit after eating it."
Sun Xiu also smiled and said, "Guilan, eat the egg custard first. The eggs should be almost cooked by the time you finish eating."
"Okay, Mom, thank you for your help. Please eat your meal quickly." Hu Guilan's face was full of apology.
"It's not a big deal."
After saying that, Sun Xiu returned to the stool and continued eating.
Li Xu and others also picked up their chopsticks and started eating again.
There was no sound of vomiting, and everyone ate with great relish.
Li Ping ate up all the rice left by Hu Guilan.
After dinner.
Hu Guilan held half a boiled egg in her left hand and stroked her belly with her right hand. "I wish I was pregnant with a girl."
Li Ju was standing by, staring at her belly curiously. Upon hearing this, she quickly asked, "Sister-in-law, do you prefer daughters to sons?"
Hu Guilan looked at her with amusement, "Yes, I don't like sons the most. I just like little girls like you."
"Ah?" Li Ju's eyes suddenly widened, and she asked in disbelief, "Don't you like your nephew?"
"I don't like it. I just like our little Ju."
Li Ju's little face suddenly showed a lovely smile, and then it quickly disappeared, "Sister-in-law, my nephew is also very cute, you should try to like him."
Li Xu patted her little head and asked, "Who says you have to like someone just because they're cute?"
Li Ju's two small hands pinched the corners of her clothes, her face showing a very nervous expression. "But...but how pitiful it would be if my nephew didn't get his mother's love."
"Tsk, what's so pitiful about that?"
The smile on Sun Xiu's face disappeared instantly, and she looked coldly at Li Chen who had just spoken, "Third brother, if I didn't like you, would you feel pity for me?"
Li Xu looked at Li Chen as if he was a fool.
What do you think?
Can you say this casually?
Li Chen showed an embarrassed expression, "Mom, that's not what I meant."
He knew very well that if Sun Xiu did not like him in the Li family, his end could only be described as miserable.
At this moment, he regretted very much that he had said something too hastily.
But Sun Xiu still didn't want to let him go, "What do you mean?"
Without much thought, Li Chen blurted out, "Actually, what I want to say is that not having your father's love is not pitiful."
"What if mom doesn't like it?"
"That's so pitiful, even worse than weeds." After saying that, Li Chen looked at Sun Xiu ingratiatingly.
Good job.
Li Xu exclaimed in his heart, "What a great guy!"
He actually managed to make this dead end game work.
Between two evils, choose the lesser one. Compared to offending Sun Xiu, it is naturally more worthwhile to offend Li Jiakang.
Anyway, everyone in the Li family knew that Li Jiakang had never liked his three sons, so it didn't matter if he offended them once more...
Hearing this answer, the anger on Sun Xiu's face dissipated a lot, but he still said unhappily, "Stop talking nonsense. If your father didn't care, how could you have grown up like this?"
"Yes, yes, I know I was wrong." Li Chen said with a nod.
At this time, Li Jiakang's face was as black as ink. He stood up, took a few steps forward, grabbed Li Chen's collar and walked out.
Soon, the sound of Li Chen howling in pain was heard outside.
The people in the room didn't care about him, after all, it was all his own fault.
Hu Guilan continued to tease Li Ju, "Xiao Ju, I see you like Wen Bo very much. How about I give him to you? What do you think?"
"No, no, I don't want him." Li Ju took two steps back, waving her little hands.
"He is so pitiful. I, as his mother, don't like him, and you, as his aunt, don't like him either." Hu Guilan sighed.
"I like my eldest nephew."
"Then why don't you want him?"
Li Ju looked at Li Wenbai, then at Hu Guilan, her face wrinkled up, and then she closed her eyes and said, "Sister-in-law, I just want him."
Hearing this, everyone burst into laughter.
Li Ping hugged Li Ju and kissed her fiercely. He said jokingly, "Little sister, your sister-in-law is teasing you. She really likes Wen Bo. How could she possibly give him to you?"
Li Ju turned to look at Hu Guilan, and when she nodded, she immediately shouted, "Sister-in-law~"
So everyone laughed even more happily.
Li Ju's little face turned red instantly, making her look even cuter.
After laughing, Li Ping said, "I also hope this baby is a girl."
"What if it's not?"
Sun Xiu glanced at Li Xu and said with a smile, "If not, then keep giving birth until the baby is born."
Li Xu smacked his lips. "What if it's like my cousin's uncles?"
The cousin-in-law he was talking about was Sun Yizhui's future daughter-in-law Zhao Zhaodi.
Zhao Zhaodi's uncles and aunts were desperate for a daughter. They had many children, but not a single girl. By the end, even they felt there was no hope...
Li Ping also knew about this, so his face darkened and he gritted his teeth and said, "I don't believe we are so unlucky."
