Chapter 577: Chapter 577: Unwilling to Accept

In the end, it was Mrs. Qin who noticed her abnormality. “What’s wrong with you, Third Daughter-in-law? If you’re not feeling well, just go home quickly. I’ve told you so many times, stay at home and rest properly. Don’t come out unnecessarily. If you mess up your health, you’re the one who suffers.”

Qin Wen knew his wife the best. Earlier, while the brothers were chatting on the side, he had no idea what these women were talking about.

He clearly heard that loud scream from Ma Suyun earlier.

Lin Chuxia was also pregnant, so how could his wife be content? Let alone his wife, he was also quite discontented.

Originally, he thought they would be better than Qin Yang, but they were not.

Seeing Ma Suyun looking unwell, he worried it might really harm the baby.

Until the baby is born, it’s uncertain who will win or lose.

If Ma Suyun loses the baby now, then it would be a total defeat for him.

He quickly stood up and went to Ma Suyun’s side, lowered his voice and said, “What on earth are you thinking about? Pull yourself together. Let me tell you, if you can’t keep the baby, we two are getting a divorce.”

Ma Suyun snapped back to reality, but her stomach truly hurt too much.

“I need to go home. Can you ride Big Brother’s bicycle to take me back?”

Qin Wen glanced around at the others and finally agreed.

Once Ma Suyun and Qin Wen left, the remaining brothers and sisters-in-law in the house also decided they’d stayed long enough and planned to visit another home.

After everyone left, Mrs. Qin let out a heavy sigh.

“You see the temper of Third Daughter-in-law? Won’t she ever change it? This pregnancy wasn’t easy to come by, and instead of taking good care, she’s always comparing with this and that. If she’s really not careful and loses the baby, how will the couple’s life go on?”

That’s why Mrs. Qin was so indulgent with her.

Just hoping to get through these ten months, and things would be fine once the baby is born.

But as it stands, let alone ten months, it’s troubling day by day.

Mr. Qin tapped his pipe, “Each generation must find its own happiness. Everyone walks their own path. Third Daughter-in-law’s not-so-good temper and competitiveness are just like Third Son.”

Mrs. Qin sighed heavily again, “Then, what about Third Son borrowing money from First Son? Given how Third Son’s family is now, the brothers should lend a hand, right? He said he also wants to plant a vegetable greenhouse. I thought after he plants it and earns some money, he could repay First Son. First Son’s family made quite a bit with their greenhouses this year. They should be able to lend Third Son two thousand dollars.”

Mr. Qin glanced at Mrs. Qin, “Two thousand dollars? In your entire life, have you ever seen two thousand dollars? I didn’t know you became so bold in your old age.”

“I haven’t seen it, but I’ve heard that First Son grows watermelons in his greenhouse, and one can sell for a few dollars. Would you have believed years ago that a watermelon could sell for a few dollars? They’ve been growing in two greenhouses since spring, and First Son and his wife are capable. They should be able to make two thousand dollars, right? Besides, isn’t there Jianjun? He’s worked with his Fourth Aunt for years. He must have saved some money. He could lend it to his uncle first. Won’t his uncle appreciate his kindness?”

“I bet they appreciate you instead,” Mr. Qin sneered, “Jianjun’s mother already said they plan to rebuild the house next year and prepare for Jianjun to get married. Jianjun’s already 20, and he doesn’t even have a fiancée yet. You aren’t worried, but a mother surely is, especially since his sister Lihua already has children. How could Jianjun’s mother not be eager for grandchildren?”

Mrs. Qin frowned with worry, “But we can’t just ignore Third Son. He was such a proud kid, top of his class, and even got into the workforce. Didn’t you say he had prospects? Now he’s in trouble, and if his elders or brothers don’t help him, who will? It’s just this temporary hardship. Once Third Son’s wife has the baby next year and he starts the greenhouse, won’t their life get going? When things improve for him, won’t he remember to help his big brother?”

Mr. Qin huffed heavily, “He sure is proud, maybe too proud. I can’t handle this. Both are my sons and grandsons; they are all like flesh from my heart. You manage it if you want, but let me make it clear, if you make First Son lend money to Third Son, I don’t know if Third Son will appreciate it, but you’ll definitely offend First Son. I don’t care if the daughters-in-law sulk at me, as I don’t usually say much to them. You better think if you want to continue living like this. Don’t ruin a good life for no reason.”

After saying this, Mr. Qin left the house, hands behind his back, to play with the children outside.

Mrs. Qin sighed again in worry.

…………

Lin Chuxia and a few sisters-in-law went to visit Third Uncle’s house together.

Both Third Uncle and Third Aunt were in robust health. With Qin Wu not home for the past half-year, the elderly couple also kept busy.

Third Aunt took care of their two kids at home, and Third Uncle originally wanted to build a vegetable greenhouse. But lacking manpower, Third Uncle instead planted all the fields with grain.

By the autumn harvest, not only did they submit all the family’s quota of grain, but they also stored two storerooms full.

This generation had lived through poverty and starvation. Now with Qin Wu and his wife earning wages and having more than enough grain at home,

Looking at their granddaughter and grandson, Third Uncle and Aunt couldn’t be more content with their lives.

Seeing their nephews arrived, Third Aunt offered peanuts, sunflower seeds, and grabbed some candies.

The lively and bustling atmosphere was nothing like at First Brother’s house.

Lin Chuxia was captivated by Little Jianhui on the kang.

The little guy was now over nine months old and could crawl with ease compared to Little Yaoyao.

Upon seeing his mom enter, Little Jianhui started crawling towards Zhou Hongmei, using both his arms and legs.

As he crawled, he babbled, “Mama mama baba baba…” It was hard to tell if he was calling for mom or dad.

Lin Chuxia peeled an orange to play with him, and the little guy instantly forgot about his mom and dad, crawling towards Lin Chuxia.

Lin Chuxia loved children and seemed to have an affinity with them.

The children in the family all liked her. Even the little ones like Little Yaoyao and Little Jianhui, who didn’t understand much, couldn’t help but grin when they saw her.

After paying respects to Third Uncle and Aunt for the New Year, the group headed to the Qin Family’s second household, which made it convenient for Lin Chuxia to stay in once she returned home.

Though they only went around briefly, Mrs. Qin was still worried Lin Chuxia might tire and quickly told her to rest in her room.

Lin Chuxia wasn’t too tired, just felt a bit sleepy from staying up late on New Year’s Eve and waking early today.

With nothing much happening at home, she decided to go to her room and catch up on some sleep.

When she woke up, the Qin Family had already finished lunch, and Qin Han, Qin Yang, along with Zhang Guilan, had gone to visit other households again for New Year’s greetings.

Mrs. Qin held the baby and cheerfully explained, “Yangyang saw you sleeping soundly, so he didn’t wake you. The dumplings were freshly made at lunch, just boil them. You watch the baby, and I’ll go cook dumplings for you.”
