Chapter 279: Life-Threatening (Four Updates)
After being touched, Yang PeiMin began to feel uneasy. After all, her current situation was quite fragile.
She glanced at Shen Yiguang and noticed he was smiling at her wholeheartedly, which made her glare at him.
Shen Yiguang sheepishly touched his nose, then turned to Shen Yixiang and asked, "Mom, are you feeling better now? Why are you still worrying so much? Why didn’t anyone stop you?"
Yang PeiMin, hearing this, also asked about Chen Guizhi’s health. She had seen in previous letters that their health wasn’t great, but they hadn’t specified what illness it was, and it seemed quite serious.
Shen Yixiang gave her a sidelong glance, her tone slightly acidic as she spoke of Chen Guizhi’s sick condition, "Mom is like this, still worried about you. She and Dad have been thinking about sending letters and things for you for several nights. Aren’t you still in school? She even said you were overworking, which could easily lead to weight loss. She insisted you eat more meals and wondered if its possible to bring a stove to your dorm to cook meals that suit your stomach. I said that’s not possible, as schools don’t have such rules, and it would affect other students. Then she thought about negotiating with the cafeteria to possibly borrow a stove. Anyway, she just wants to exhaust every possibility to have you eat more, saying that this will help you give birth to a child that’s healthier and less prone to sickness."
Yang PeiMin hadn’t expected Chen Guizhi to be hanging by a thread; they hadn’t mentioned it in their letters, probably fearing that she and Shen Yiguang would worry, so they kept it to themselves. Thinking this, she felt a mixture of emotions; parents often are like that. She and Shen Yiguang, being so far away, wouldn’t know anything if they chose not to tell. Before, she thought writing more letters home was being filial, but now she realized it was not enough. Perhaps Shen Yiguang had hurriedly shared news of her pregnancy because of Chen Guizi’s illness.
Shen Yixiang, seeing her expression, said, "But mom has held on, her faith is in her grandson, so you must not let her down."
Oh, the pressure!
It was immense!
Yang PeiMin smiled and nodded, responding, "I’ll reassure mom, I’ll take good care of myself."
Shen Yixiang nodded.
