"After the New Year, Xiao Wan will only be eight months pregnant, so driving back won’t be a problem. It’s a bit far from here. If Xiao Yi is unable to leave the military due to work, she’ll be there with just her godmother, and if anything happens, there won’t be anyone to discuss things with. Z City is quite a distance from here, and her mom’s visit would be inconvenient. S City is even farther, it would be inconvenient for her mother-in-law to co. Don’t you agree? I think after the New Year, they should hurry back to prepare for delivery. Once the postpartum month is over, if you two elders want to see the baby, let them bring the child over." Lin Guozhi spoke cleverly, leaving the i family without words.
The people present heard and knew it was a refusal. Mr. i quickly gave his wife a look.
He then turned to Lin Guozhi with a smile, "It doesn’t matter where the baby is born, ultimately it depends on the couple. We think Kyoto Hospital is generally more advanced than Z City’s. But having said that, you have a lot of family in Z City, so you wouldn’t be short of people to help."
"Z City’s hospitals are no worse than Kyoto’s, Uncle i, rest assured," Lin Guozhi replied with a smile.
i Shuping quickly switched topics, introducing their private stash of tea leaves.
i Shuqing, however, hadn’t said a word since he arrived. This matter was originally ant to happen in Z City.
His parents just wanted to be near the child, and they couldn’t let Lin Wan stay alone in Kyoto. Besides, Ai Yi probably wouldn’t agree in the first place.
The matter of where Lin Wan would give birth wasn’t discussed further. Lin Guozhi had a al at the i family ho and then went directly with Xiao Wan to their courtyard ho.
It was peculiar today; Chen Haichang had said he would co over, yet even after the al ended, he hadn’t shown up.
Originally, she thought her godfather and godmother would take her father to visit their ho after dinner, but it didn’t happen.
It wasn’t until the way back that her father told her he and godfather had t every day in the military recently, and already talked about everything they needed. Now he just wanted to see their ho in Kyoto.
"Dad, are you really leaving?" Lin Wan asked.
"Yes, I’ll be leaving tomorrow. Shao Li and Xiao Zhang are waiting for . Xiao Zhang has a vacation this year; I can’t delay his leave," Lin Guozhi said with a smile.
The military doesn’t often allow leave, so it should not be my fault that delays soone else’s family visit ti.
The house only had one quilt, and it was late, Lin Wan wanted her father to stay at ho, but alas, there was no quilt.
So after visiting their courtyard, Lin Guozhi directly asked Han Yi to send him back to the military district.
Her father left the next day, and Han Yi was still finishing his post-work tasks at the military base, so he was also headed there the following day.
It left her and Little Star at ho. With plenty of firewood, Lin Wan bought cotton and quilt covers outside, keeping the stove fiercely burning at ho. She made two quilts in a row and even made Little Star a set of cotton clothes and pants.
These past couple of days, Chen Haichang hadn’t co to visit, the front door was tightly locked from the outside, no idea where he had gone.
But Ye Qing. These past two days, has been circling around her house, thinking she was being discreet, unaware she was already being noticed.
Lin Wan knew she was up to no good again, her first concern was the baby in her belly.
During her previous pregnancy with Little Star, this kind of incident had occurred before, and now it seed to be happening again, clearly wanting to use the sa tactic.
Lin Wan wouldn’t be foolish enough to let her push her again.
She was outside, and I am inside; rather than Ye Qing monitoring her, it was more like I was monitoring Ye Qing. Lin Wan deliberately poured several basins of cold water where Ye Qing often hid at night. By the next morning, it had turned into ice. Such a slippery spot would ensure, if she didn’t break a leg, she’d at least be sore all over.
"Mommy, why does Huahua’s mom always watch us?" Little Star asked curiously.
"She wants Little Brother to co out early. Look, Little Brother isn’t fully grown yet, he can’t co out early. Huahua’s mom wants mommy to fall. If mommy falls, the little brother in the belly will get hurt."
"Wow, Huahua’s mom is so bad, Little Brother didn’t do anything to her, why does she want to harm you and Little Brother?" Little Star frowned and snorted.
"Huahua’s mom doesn’t want mommy to give birth to a little brother. Okay, let’s not worry about her. We have food at ho, and we won’t go out these days. Let her freeze outside."
"Okay, I’ll stay with mommy." Little Star obediently held Lin Wan’s hand.
...
"She’s been staying ho these days, not going out at all. I’ve been watching her for days, no options left."
"Aren’t you usually full of ideas? Why are you so clueless this ti?"
Ye Qing felt a punch to the gut when i Langchi said this; she wanted to find people, but few lived in that alley, mostly elderly. Ye Qing found two, but they refused to engage in such harmful sches, one old lady even nearly dragged her to the police station upon hearing her plan.
So after considering, she could only guard a few days herself.
i Langchi’s comnt sparked an idea in Ye Qing, who bought so supplents and went to the old residence early the next day.
It was fortunate Chen Haichang was also there today. Moreover, he brought so ginseng and bird nests for Mr. i.
The sun must have risen from the west today, there must be an issue here.
Ye Qing thought to herself but dared not tell Old Mrs. i, a sentint she shared as Old Mrs. i seed uninterested in what Chen Haichang gifted.
"These supplents I specifically arranged in recent days are for elderly people, the best for your health. See, those silkies outside too. I plan to slaughter one today for lunch, let’s have a taste. Aunt Wu, please handle one." Chen Haichang sat aside, glaring at Old Mrs. i not allowing rejection.
"If you want to eat, eat it yourself. We wouldn’t dare eat your stuff. My eldest yesterday prepared a huge jar of dicinal liquor, far more effective than your chicken and ginseng. You take it back and eat it yourself." Old Mrs. i was blunt to Chen Haichang.
