Chapter 27

Everyone knew Lin Da Hua was a doctor, so it wasn’t unusual for Lin Qing to take her sister’s pulse.

He Lao Pozi thought Lin Qing was up to no good,

“My daughter-in-law can take pulses too.”

“I’m not very good at it.” Lin Qing said calmly.

She took her second sister’s pulse without rushing.

The more she felt, the tighter her frown became.

He Lao Pozi watched coldly, waiting to see what trick Lin Qing was playing.

“Second Sister, you’re pregnant, but your body is too weak. If you continue doing heavy work, you might lose the baby.”

. What? My daughter-in-law is pregnant?”

Her youngest son and grandson were the apple of her eye.

He Lao Pozi loved her youngest son, the second sister’s husband, the most.

Because she spoiled him, the more the second sister failed to give birth to a son, the angrier she became.

She wouldn’t hesitate to bully her.

If she died, she could just remarry. It wouldn’t cost much.

In the courtyard, He Da Sao and He Er Sao’s faces turned stiff.

He Da Sao looked from one to the other, “Little cousin-in-law, are you sure?”

“You can call the barefoot doctor to check my second sister. If you’re not sure, you can go to the county hospital for a blood test.” Lin Qing knew how to feel a happy pulse.

If they were worried, let them fuss.

Could she just make up a baby?

He Lao Pozi didn’t believe Lin Qing either. Seeing her youngest son still eating, she was furious.

“You haven’t heard that your wife is pregnant, why don’t you hurry up and call He Er to take a look?”

After a while, He Er came over. He took her pulse seriously and said, “She is pregnant, but your daughter-in-law is weak. This pregnancy needs to be taken care of. She can’t do heavy work.”

They were all from the same village, and everyone knew about the He family’s problems.

He was just being kind when he said that.

He Lao Pozi confirmed that her daughter-in-law was indeed pregnant and beamed with joy.

Then came the mind-blowing part.

“Of course, she can’t do heavy work. I’ve always been worried about her. Now that she’s pregnant, she’s even more precious.”

Then, she turned to glare at her eldest daughter-in-law and second daughter-in-law, “Both of you, make sure you take care of her. Don’t just bully the honest one and make her do all the work. If you cause my grandson to have any problems, I’ll skin you alive.”

Then, she looked at her second daughter with a dramatic tone, “You’re so soft-hearted. I’m here to protect you. What will you do when I’m gone?”

He Da Sao and He Er Sao were furious.

Their mother-in-law was such a good actress.

So, she was the good guy now?

Lin Qing and Big Sister didn’t know what kind of person He Lao Pozi was.

They were disgusted.

He Er: …

Who are you putting on a show for?

Actually, in real life, encountering a manipulative person like He Lao Pozi was terrifying.

He Er didn’t want to stay a minute longer. He took his money and left.

He Lao Pozi was also smart enough to give the sisters some space to talk.

Lin Qing and Big Sister followed their second sister into the house.

The small, dilapidated house lacked everything.

There wasn’t even a curtain on the window.

The second sister didn’t dare to undress at night. Even if she sweated through her clothes, she had to stay fully dressed.

She was afraid that someone would see her if she woke up late in the morning.

Whenever her husband wanted to be intimate, she would be terrified.

Big Sister sighed as she looked at the window.

The last time she came, she brought a piece of cloth for her sister to use as a curtain.

She didn’t need to guess, it must have been taken by someone.

Her sister was soft-hearted, and her husband was heartless. She also hoped this child would be a boy.

The joy of her sister’s pregnancy faded a little.

Lin Qing took out a few packets of medicine from her pocket and handed them to her second sister, “This is medicine that Dad made to regulate your body. Second Sister, keep it safe.”

Actually, the medicine was different.

It was made by Lin Qing herself.

With the spiritual spring water and the detoxified herbs from her space, it was definitely better than the medicine pills Lin Da Hua made.

If her second sister took it, there was a high chance she would have a safe delivery not necessarily a son.

The second sister knew that her body was very weak, so she took the medicine and quickly hid it.

Just then, Lin Qing noticed someone approaching quietly.

She guessed it was someone eavesdropping.

She quickly changed the subject, “I think Xiao Yi is very thin, and your body is so weak, Second Sister. Why don’t Big Sister and I take Xiao Yi back to our house and raise her for a while?”

Would the Lin family be short of a meal for the little girl?

No way.

In the background check, after the second sister went there, Lin Da Hua had asked the He family for the child.

The He family refused.

Lin Da Hua, as the grandfather, couldn’t compete, so he could only secretly send food to his granddaughter.

At least the child wouldn’t starve.

Later, he lost hope of living, and He Yi’s life became truly bleak.

Big Sister also thought it was best to take the little girl back and raise her for a while.

It would be easier for both of them.

The second sister smiled but didn’t respond. Instead, she looked at Lin Qing with concern, “I heard the Zhao family is breaking off the engagement?”

Outside, He Da Sao was eager to listen at the window. That was why she came.

Lin Qing: “Hui Zhou and I have a good relationship. Zhao Lao Pozi can’t break it off even if she wants to.”

Outside, He Da Sao scoffed.

She hadn’t noticed before, but Lin San Ya was quite cunning. She had a good hold on her man.

But it was no wonder, she was so alluring. Men were all about that.

Here, the second sister was a simple person. She believed her sister when she said that.

She breathed a sigh of relief, but she was still worried. With a mother-in-law like Zhao Lao Pozi, could she have a good life?

Lin Qing rattled on and on, emphasizing that Zhao Lao Pozi wasn’t a problem.

He Da Sao was annoyed and didn’t want to listen anymore.

As soon as she left, Lin Qing leaned in and whispered to her second sister, “Sister, I passed the college entrance exam.”

The second sister was delighted. She was about to speak, but Lin Qing grabbed her hand.

Lin Qing shook her head, “Don’t spread it around now. I’m going to find Zhao Hui Zhou and see if he has someone else.”

The second sister looked shocked and confused…

Zhao Hui Zhou has someone else?

Lin Qing briefly explained the situation.

Logically, her passing the college entrance exam would benefit her second sister too.

Even if He Lao Pozi bullied her, she would have to think twice.

Fortunately, the second sister was pregnant now, so she could hold on for a while.

The second sister didn’t think that much. She was just excited that her sister had achieved something great.

If she wasn’t supposed to say anything, she wouldn’t.

When the two sisters got up to leave, Lin Qing picked up He Yi and coaxed her, “Do you want to go to Grandma’s house with Third Aunt?”

He Yi blinked, as if she was thinking about what Lin Qing meant.

Then, she looked at her mother with tears in her eyes. She only wanted her mother, she didn’t want to go anywhere.

Oh well.

This pitiful little look, even the second sister couldn’t bear it.

Her only hope was her child.

Big Sister sighed, “You just rest for a while. I’ll ask Dad to find an ox cart to take you back home to recuperate.”

Lin Qing joked, “Dad and Mom will definitely be happy to have you two back. They’ll be thrilled if you two stay here forever.”

He Lao Pozi snorted, “Are you telling me to send them back if I don’t want them?”

Humph.

Thinking that Lin San Ya’s engagement hadn’t fallen through, He Lao Pozi suppressed her anger and smiled, “Let them go back and stay for a while after Xiao Xue’s body is stable.”

Let them stay.

They weren’t eating their food. She was happy about it.

It would be best if they stayed until the baby was born. She would be able to hold her grandson.
