Chapter 150 - 145 Acquaintance
"Lin Weisheng said he had just unintentionally overheard his parents’ conversation and that’s how he found out," Shitou recounted the past events he had learned from Lin Weisheng to Xia Yuan in great detail.
At last, he said, "Lin Weisheng had no intention of hiding it, because back then Brother Aiguo’s grandfather had made a promise with the second uncle and aunt. If they never had another son, he would personally tell Brother Aiguo the truth. However, if they did have a son later on, then the truth would be kept hidden forever. The older generation handled this matter very discreetly, so actually, most people in the village don’t know the truth either. Lin Weisheng was warned after he found out accidentally."
"..."
Xia Yuan held the milk cup silently for a long time, worried about how Lu Aiguo would react upon learning the truth.
"Mom, big aunt must know about this. We’ll find out tomorrow if we ask her. Don’t overthink it; it’s not good for the baby," Lu Yun sighed softly in her heart, took away the half glass of now cold milk from her mother’s hand, and replaced it with a small cup of warm, sleep-inducing nutrition drink, especially suitable for pregnant women.
"Mm." Rediscovering her focus upon thinking of the child she was carrying, Xia Yuan downed the nutrition drink in the cup in one breath. She lovingly patted her daughter’s head, "Whether it’s a brother or a sister, mommy loves you the most, and I promise that will never change. Plus, in addition to daddy and mommy, you’ll have another brother or sister to love you."
"Mom, wouldn’t that be unfair to the baby brother?"
Though she said this, Lu Yun wrapped her arms around her mom’s waist, her little face pressed against her mom’s belly, feeling bubbles of happiness inside her. Secretly, she made a promise to the little life inside her mother’s womb: I will also try very hard to love you a lot in the future, but you’ll still come after daddy, mommy, and Shitou. There’s a sequence to these things, right? That’s because you’re the last one to arrive...
