Chapter 561 Lin's Father Coaxes Lin's Mother
"Uncle, I don't think I did anything wrong. It's just that you and Aunt have always been so polite to me, which, to put it bluntly, means you haven't treated me like family."
Xia Yichu had been keeping some things to herself for a long time, and it was good to take this opportunity to say them.
Lin Weidong was shocked by Xia Yichu's words. He said in a panic, "Xiao Chu, how could you think like that? You..."
Lin's mother didn't say anything, but looked at Xia Yichu thoughtfully from the side.
"Uncle, please let me finish what I have to say. You and Aunt raised me with great care and hardship, and now that I have money, I want to repay you."
But what about you guys! When I buy something even slightly expensive, you either make excuses or demand money from me.
Xia Yichu had had enough of this feeling. Now she had money and could earn it herself. She wanted to spend it on her family and make amends for the sins she committed in her past life.
"That's right, that's true. But Xiao Chu, we're not just doing this to you, Xing Yuan, Xing Cheng, and Xing Yao are the same."
"You guys don't earn money easily either. Your uncle and I have retirement pensions that are more than enough to live on."
Mr. and Mrs. Lin don't have many expenses. When they help their daughter take care of her child, the living expenses are paid by the couple.
Ever since Xia Yichu started university, she said she had money and wouldn't spend theirs. That's when the two of them started saving money; before, they basically spent all their monthly salaries.
"Auntie, I don't care, I just want to give the child a house."
Xia Yichu was exhausted and didn't want to reason with them, so she simply resorted to being a rogue.
"Why can't you understand? This isn't about two houses."
Lin's mother really wanted to crack open Xia Yichu's head to see what was inside. How many nephews and nieces would she have in the future? Did she really intend to give each of them two houses?
It doesn't matter to the adults, but when there are more children, it's impossible to treat them all equally, and they will become more concerned when they get older.
Xia Yichu has now put herself in this dilemma, but fortunately her son and his wife are reasonable people.
They were willing to return the house to Xia Yichu without any complaints.
"I understand what Auntie means. I promise I will treat all my nephews and nieces equally in the future. Oh, Auntie, please stop trying to persuade me."
Xia Yichu leaned her head on Lin's mother's shoulder and acted coquettishly. Some biological parents wouldn't even think of her like Lin's mother does. Xia Yichu was very moved, her eyes welled up with tears, and she held them back.
"You're going to drive me crazy! How many houses do you have to squander like this?"
Despite Lin's mother's words, she was actually very gratified. That little girl who only knew how to fight had grown up. She really wanted to go home and brag to the neighbors about how filial Xiao Chu was to her, and let those who called her stupid take a good look at her.
"Auntie, I already told my sister-in-law's mother that I would give the children two houses. If you ask me to go back on my word now, I'll lose face."
If I take the house back, what if someone goesssips about me, the aunt, for breaking my promise when my child grows up?
If Pei Shizhou bullies me then, who will I turn to for help?
Xia Yichu said half-jokingly that she bought those houses at the lowest price and really didn't spend much money.
"He wouldn't dare! If he tries to bully you, I'll fight him to the death!" Xia Guoan said excitedly as he stood up.
"How can a weak scholar like you fight him to the death? Besides, you'll be old by then, and there's a possibility that you'll have trouble walking."
As expected of Lin Weidong, his words immediately put Xia Guo at ease.
"Big brother, even if I can't do it, there's still Zhiqian and Zhiheng! They won't let Xiaochu be bullied."
"Alright, Xiao Chu was just saying it casually, you actually took it seriously. Shi Zhou wouldn't bully Xiao Chu."
Xia Gan'an was full of resentment. Why was Lin Weidong protecting Pei Shizhou at every turn?
"Alright, it's getting late. Xiao Chu, go upstairs to take a shower and go to bed."
Lin's mother seemed to have been persuaded by Xia Yichu and didn't try to dissuade her further. Xia Yichu happily went upstairs, where Xia Guoan was also sleeping. He followed behind Xia Yichu, keeping a distance that was neither too close nor too far.
Lying in bed that night, Lin Weidong couldn't understand his wife's meaning.
"Are you just going to let the matter of Xiao Chu giving the child a house go like this? Aren't you going to take responsibility?"
Lin Weidong still disagreed, but he knew that Xiao Chu wouldn't give in so easily.
"What if I say yes? Do you have a problem with that?"
Lin's mother glanced at Lin Weidong, but unfortunately the room was too dark for Lin Weidong to see.
Although he couldn't see, Lin Weidong's survival instinct was incredibly strong. He said in a fawning tone, "No objections, I'll do whatever you say."
"Don't worry! I've already thought of a good idea. Xiao Chu is pregnant now, so we need to go along with her and not let her think too much or feel bad."
"Let's talk about it after she gives birth. I promise Xingyuan and his wife won't take advantage of her. Starting tomorrow, let's not mention this matter again. I'll also tell Xingyuan and Mengxi."
Lin's mother said confidently, "Xiao Chu is still too inexperienced; she definitely can't beat her."
"What you're saying is taking advantage of Xiao Chu. It's just family, helping each other out. If you ask me, Xiao Chu and Shi Zhou can both earn money, so giving the kids two houses isn't a big deal."
However, Xiao Chu is incompetent, so the house should be given to you. You worked hard to raise her, so giving you two houses isn't unreasonable.
Lin Weidong could come up with words to coax his mother without thinking, just like when he was scolding Xia Guoan.
"Lin Weidong, don't give me that crap. Xiao Chu did say she'd buy me a house, but I refused. What would I need so many houses for?"
With the help of Pei Shizhou and Xia Yichu, Lin Xingyuan was able to gain a foothold in Kyoto, which made Lin's mother very happy.
"Yes, yes, you are genuinely good to Xiao Chu and don't want anything from her."
Lin Weidong continued to flatter his wife, genuinely grateful for her care. He believed Xiao Chu was so well taken care of thanks to his wife's years of care.
"You know that much is good. You must have accumulated eight lifetimes of good fortune to marry me," Lin's mother said bluntly.
Lin Weidong quickly chimed in, "Yes, that's what I think too."
"Alright, go to sleep! I'm going to the market early tomorrow to buy more of Xiao Chu's favorite foods."
In the morning, Xia Guoan got up at around six o'clock, saying he was going to buy breakfast for Xia Yichu.
They even specifically asked Lin Weidong and his wife what Xia Yichu liked to eat, and the two of them didn't hide anything from him and told him everything.
At the end, Lin's mother said, "A pregnant woman's food preferences may differ from before she was pregnant. So, buy a few different things, just in case her tastes change and she likes something different."
"it is good"
Xia Guoan went to several breakfast shops, buying a little of everything. However, when he got home, Xia Yichu was already eating breakfast.
Pei Shizhou brought these over before he went to work; they were wontons that Pei Shizhou's maternal grandfather had specially made for Xia Yichu. Xia Yichu had praised his wontons once before, saying they were delicious.
Xia Guoan didn't say anything, but the disappointment on his face was obvious, which made Xia Yichu feel a little sad.
I want to eat pan-fried buns.
Upon hearing Xia Yichu's words, Xia Guoan happily took out pan-fried buns.
"Yes, I bought it."
"Thanks"
After Xia Yichu thanked him, she buried her head in her food, while Xia Guoan was as happy as a child.
