"Yo, what is Ye’er holding?" A sudden shrill voice broke the harmonious atmosphere in the room, and Aunt’s plump figure appeared at the doorway, followed by a scowling Uncle.
Luo Ye picked up Song Qiu and sat next to Wen Xin, giving Aunt a faint smile: "Hello Aunt, I’m holding a Shih Tzu puppy."
Luo Zhenggang stood up to greet: "Big brother, big sister-in-law, please have a seat and talk!"
"Do you prefer floral tea or green tea, big brother and sister-in-law?"
"Fourth brother, sister-in-law, we are more familiar with dad’s ho than you, no need to treat us as guests. We should be the ones taking good care of you!" Aunt sat down brashly across from Wen Xin: "Since sister-in-law has already started, let’s have the floral tea. We country folks don’t like tasteless things."
Knowing his wife’s temperant all too well, Uncle Luo suddenly stood up: "Luo Sihua, if you keep spouting nonsense, I’ll beat you up!"
"If you want to argue, go ho and argue, don’t co here and babble. Fourth and Wen Xin rarely co back, what are you all planning to do, eh?" Grandpa Luo glanced at Uncle Luo and Aunt: "I couldn’t be bothered to talk about this morning’s incident, and I have given you enough face. Either don’t co, or if you do, act like adults and say sothing sensible."
"Dad, I didn’t really say anything!" Aunt squeezed out a smile: "Fourth brother, I heard you and sister-in-law were coming back, and I thought to quickly co over to see you, but then I suddenly had a stomachache, and even after your brother massaged it for a while, it didn’t get better, so I didn’t co over. Don’t be upset."
Wen Xin smiled and waved her hand: "It’s okay, it’s really us who should have co to visit you, we are the ones who feel sorry."
Luo Ye suddenly realized: "Aunt, you had a stomachache this morning? I was wondering, you are usually so hospitable, why did you ignore and brother?"
Aunt caught the opportunity: "Yes, yes, it hurt so much I just couldn’t talk. Ye’er and Feng’er, don’t bla , okay?"
"No bla." Luo Feng smiled lightly.
"No bla at all! Aunt..." Luo Ye gently petted little Songqiu, looking concernedly at Aunt: "You should really get that checked at a hospital. The strength Uncle used to massage wasn’t light; it was painful enough to break cups and basins, that must have been so hard to bear. Aunt, you can’t just tough it out; many serious illnesses co from dragging it on without treatnt."
Aunt’s face was a picture, awkwardly smiling: "I’ll go get it checked when I find the ti." She wondered to herself, was her niece serious or just pretending? Based on what she knew before, she should be clueless, but looking at her now, so chatty, it seed deliberate?
"When you go, don’t eat beforehand. Stomach pain usually requires a gastroscopy, and you can’t eat for six hours beforehand. Also..." Luo Ye looked seriously at Luo Zhenggang: "Dad, when you and mom go back tomorrow, could you take Aunt to the hospital first? It would be uncomfortable for her to take a long ride by herself."
"No need, I can go by myself!" Aunt repeatedly waved her hand, feeling a twinge in her stomach – she had experienced it once before, a mory she would never forget. Was this girl really concerned about her or just mocking her?
"Big sister-in-law, Wen Xin and I can leave a bit later, it’s fine!" Luo Zhenggang looked towards Uncle Luo: "Big brother, what do you think?"
Uncle Luo nodded: "Alright, we’ll take her to get a gastroscopy first thing tomorrow!"
"Ow ow..." Little Songqiu’s soft little tongue was happily licking Luo Ye’s finger, but then she accidentally poked its little throat, causing the poor thing to roll its eyes in pain.
"Little Songqiu, I’m so sorry, so sorry..." Luo Ye comforted the little one, she was just too excited by Uncle Luo’s response and failed to control herself.
"Luo Zhengjian..."
Aunt stood up in a roar, but Grandpa Luo frowned: "Sit down!"
"Dad, let’s not beat around the bush. I admit that I faked my stomachache at noon. Yes, fourth brother is an official, but what has that brought to this family?
Neither Luo Hua nor Luo Ning have a proper job up to now. If it weren’t for Zhengjian and dad, would Fourth have his success today? We should act with so decency, it can’t be all about oneself, can it?" Aunt, chest heaving with emotion, pointed at Luo Ye: "They are all children; Fourth’s children can raise pets, wouldn’t he care about their future careers? Enough, it’s co to this point, I no longer seek any benefit from Fourth, but dad, can you make it clear, who’s going to own this house in the end?"
