Chapter 431 Jeng Ruyue’s Cousin (1)_1
Lady Liu gave birth half a month earlier than expected. Lady Fan hadn’t managed to rush over in time, and the baby was already born. Worried she wouldn’t take good care of herself during the postnatal confinement, Lin Yuan asked Lin Yi to hurry to Liu Family Village the next morning to bring her grandmother. Initially, she only intended to bring Lady Fan, but when they returned, the carriage was nearly full. Apart from Lady Fan and her younger aunt Liu Limin, there was also her older uncle’s wife Zhao Suxin, and even her second uncle’s wife Jeng Ruyue, who was always in poor health, came along.
Lin Yuan was overjoyed and carefully helped her second aunt off the carriage. It had been a long time, and Jeng Ruyue’s face was still very pale. She walked slowly, and even her smile seemed listless.
"Second aunt, you’re in poor health, why did you also come?" Lin Yuan felt sorry for her and quickly supported her hand to help her into the house.
Jeng Ruyue smiled faintly, her voice softer than thawing spring water, "Your mother is having a baby, how could I not come? I also wanted to bask in your mother’s good fortune."
Lin Yuan’s heart ached, although she knew she was joking, it still felt uncomfortable. Children were nothing short of a luxury for her second uncle and aunt.
Liu Limin had rushed to see the new nephew the moment she got off the carriage. Lady Fan, with the help of her eldest daughter-in-law, disembarked carrying a large bundle. It contained clothes and bedding she had made for Lady Liu and the baby while she was away.
Zhao Suxin even carried out two large baskets of eggs from the carriage, handing them to Lin Yi with a laugh, and said to Lin Yuan, "We weren’t even prepared when your mother gave birth. When this young man came to fetch us, I was still wondering; Lan Yue, your mother gave birth so early, it must be a boy! Well, I didn’t expect that I’d actually guess it right!"
Lin Yuan giggled and joyfully responded to Zhao Suxin, "Great uncle’s wife’s words are always so accurate. If you say my mother had a boy, then it must be a boy!"
