Chapter 148 - 143 Insider
Lying in bed at night, Lu Aiguo was absolutely sleepless, his thoughts circling repeatedly around Uncle Lu’s words, the phrase "What others don’t have, why should you?" still sending chills down his spine.
His mind wandered from the traders in Haicheng, to people imitating his homemade fried potato chips, to the time he had told Shitou, his wife, and daughter that they had no roots in Haicheng...
His heart began to flutter with uncertainty, torn between giving up and not being willing to, between continuing and having no confidence... In this dazed state, he didn’t even know when he actually fell asleep.
In Haicheng, it was once again the evening study time for everyone. Xia Yuan, after checking the accounts and feeling somewhat restless, picked up the warm milk from the table, stood up, and took a seat at the middle table with a sigh.
Lu Yun put down her homework pen and also took a seat beside her.
They say the first three months and the last three months of a woman’s pregnancy are the most dangerous, and that her moods can be particularly unstable during that period. With dad away on business just at this time, these past few days she inevitably paid several times more attention to mom’s every move, and naturally, she came over to show concern upon hearing her sigh.
"Mom, are you thinking about dad?" Lu Yun also sat down at the table.
"Ah, who knows if they have arrived or not? Whether they had a smooth trip?" Xia Yuan did not deny it but sighed again, looking worried.
