Chapter 82 Hidden worries
It didn't hurt when Shen Jiaojiao hit Lin Song, but Lin Song still grabbed Shen Jiaojiao's hand and placed it on Shen Jiaojiao's lower abdomen, with an unconcealed smile on his face: "In four months, the baby will be born."
Shen Jiaojiao lay softly on Lin Song's body, her pretty face flushed, and she uttered "hmm" in a muffled voice.
Suddenly, Lin Song felt as if the little guy kicked him, but it was only once, which made Lin Song mistakenly think that he was wrong. He waited for a few minutes, and then there was another kick.
"Jiaojiao, the child kicked me!" Lin Song was extremely excited.
Shen Jiaojiao looked up at Lin Song, who was smiling like a fool, and smiled softly.
"When the child is born, will he look like you or me? A boy or a girl?" Lin Song's thoughts drifted away.
"I hope it's a girl, like you." Lin Song suddenly lowered his voice and said seriously.
"No, no matter whether the baby is a boy or a girl, she is our baby. She must be as brave as her father and as gentle as her mother." Shen Jiaojiao touched her belly, her eyelids drooped, and she sighed deeply again.
"Brother Song, if it weren't for you, maybe my life would be over, and I wouldn't have the chance to have a sweet discussion with you here about whether our child is a boy or a girl."
Lin Song scratched Shen Jiaojiao's nose and said, "What are you talking about, little fool? You and the child are everything to our little family. I will work hard to make money and will definitely make our little family better!"
"Brother Song, I believe you." Shen Jiaojiao stood up, looked into Lin Song's eyes affectionately, and gave Lin Song a light kiss on the corner of his mouth.
Lin Song was about to respond when he ran into Lin Mo coming back from school.
"Ah! I didn't see anything." Lin Mo covered his eyes, but still secretly observed the movements of the two through his fingers.
Lin Song and Shen Jiaojiao were both a little embarrassed. Shen Jiaojiao picked up the needle and thread again and continued knitting the sweater. She had only knitted four stitches, but three of them were wrong, and one stitch pricked her hand.
Shen Jiaojiao exclaimed: "Ah!"
This frightened Lin Song so much that even Lin Mo, who was still pretending, rushed forward to check.
"Sister-in-law, I'm sorry..." Lin Mo lowered his head in self-blame.
"Silly child, this has nothing to do with you." Shen Jiaojiao smiled tenderly and gently touched Lin Mo's head.
"Xiao Mo is back, it's time for us to cook." Lin Song said hurriedly.
"Yes, my parents should be back soon." Shen Jiaojiao also quickly spoke up.
"Brother, sister-in-law, let me help you." Lin Mo said with a smile.
By dinner time, Lin Mo explained the situation to Cheng Yuzhu and Lin Weiguo.
Lin Weiguo was silent for a while, and finally just sighed.
Cheng Yuzhu didn't have the heart to disappoint the child, so she said, "Since Xiaosong has made up his mind, let's go to the county town and have a look. No matter what the result is, you are our best son."
"Mom, what about me?" Lin Mo suddenly popped his head out and looked at Cheng Yuzhu expectantly.
"You are the best too." As she said that, Cheng Yuzhu gently pinched Lin Mo's little face.
"Hey, brother, did you hear that? Both of us are the best! So when you go to the county town tomorrow, you will definitely get the job!" Lin Mo said excitedly.
The whole family was cheering for Lin Song, except Lin Weiguo, who said nothing, turned around and walked out the door, smoking a pipe at the door.
"Dad, what's wrong with you?" Lin Song noticed that something was wrong with Lin Weiguo, so he followed him and asked.
Lin Weiguo took a puff of his dry cigarette, until he touched the cigarette bag with only the white paper skin left, and then he put the cigarette bag on his pants. His cloudy eyes stared at Lin Song, as if he wanted to see a hole in Lin Song, without blinking: "Tell me honestly, is Ling Zhuoqun trying to make things difficult for you?"
Lin Song shook his head repeatedly: "No, it's not like that, Dad. This matter has nothing to do with Xiao Ling."
"Yes... She's Xiao Ling's sister." In front of the whole family, Lin Song just reported the good news and did not mention the words that Ling Zhuolin had used to scold him.
But since his father asked, Lin Song didn't think of hiding it.
"Xiao Ling's biological sister? Isn't that Luo Luo's sister-in-law?" Lin Weiguo was a little anxious and grabbed Lin Song's arm with some force.
"Yes, she is Xiao Ling's biological sister." Lin Song admitted, "I just didn't want her to gossip about her sister, and I didn't want to embarrass Xiao Ling, so I took the initiative to say that I wanted to leave the farm."
"Good boy, you've suffered... Xiao Ling's sister is not a good person to get along with. Will Luo Luo be bullied by her sister-in-law if she stays at their house?"
Lin Song finally understood why his father looked so worried before.
"So Dad is concerned about my sister?" Lin Song suddenly realized.
"Yes, for your sister, you can quit your job at the farm and not hear Xiaoling's gossip, but Luoluo is different." Lin Weiguo just wanted to smoke, but found that his hands were empty.
He buried his face in his hands: "Luoluo is under someone else's roof now, I'm afraid I can't say anything. What if the brother and sister stand on the same front, then won't only our Luoluo get hurt?"
Lin Song thought about it and felt that his father's thinking was not unreasonable, but from his observation of Ling Zhuoqun's attitude, he did not seem like the type to be partial to others.
"Dad, don't worry. I think Mr. Ling will take good care of Luoluo and won't let anyone bully her." Lin Song comforted Lin Weiguo.
"That's when he can stand up to outsiders who bully Luo Luo, but what about when they are all made of flesh? She is Xiao Ling's biological sister!"
"If Xiao Ling and Luo Luo have a disagreement, will you side with Luo Luo or Xiao Ling?" Lin Weiguo suddenly asked Lin Song a question.
"Luoluo." Lin Song answered Lin Weiguo's question in one second without any hesitation.
After answering, Lin Song was also stunned for a moment. Yes, that was Ling Zhuoqun's biological sister, but what Ling Zhuoqun said at the beginning made Lin Song still intend to believe Ling Zhuoqun.
Just based on the 5,000 yuan they gave him originally, and the fact that Ling Zhuoqun didn't ask them for it back, he felt that Ling Zhuoqun was an upright person.
"Dad, there's no need to think so badly of Xiao Ling. Besides, our home is not too far from Xiao Ling's. If you are really worried, or if Luo Luo has really been wronged, our family will naturally not let them go."
"At worst, we can make money and bring Luoluo back." Lin Song said seriously.
After hearing Lin Song's words, Lin Weiguo's expression eased a little: "Yes, we have to make money well. If there is really any problem, we can also be confident."
"Your mother has to go to deliver food to Luoluo tomorrow. Ask your mother to find out the situation then. If Luoluo is not doing well, we will take Luoluo back." Lin Weiguo said with determination.
"Okay." Lin Song agreed to Lin Weiguo's words.
That night, Lin Weiguo told Cheng Yuzhu these words, and Cheng Yuzhu realized that she had not considered Li Luo's situation.
"Tomorrow, I will bring some more delicious food for Luoluo, and you can catch a fish. My daughter loves it." Cheng Yuzhu said.
