Chapter 158: Chapter 3 Little Niangao Gets Injured

In the following two days, Lin Xiaoguai and Shen Chi took Little Niangao to Fengyuan Village to see Uncle’s wife and Second Uncle’s wife, along with the rest of them.

Because they had given a heads-up over the phone, all three elderly folks were at home waiting, and the food was specially prepared. Sadly, aside from Lin Xiaoping, including Lin Xiaoxi, the other three male cousins were tied up with business or out of town or compelled to work as apprentices, so they couldn’t make it back.

As for the sisters-in-law, only Sister Xiao Hua and Sister Hanfang were there, as the other two were too busy to return as well.

Upon arrival, Little Niangao was whisked away to play by some cousins, and Lin Xiaoguai and Shen Chi were ushered by the elders to sit down.

"Are you really going to the Capital now?" Lin Nianqiang couldn’t wait to ask.

"Yes," Lin Xiaoguai didn’t understand Second Uncle’s attitude and nodded, "But when I’m free, I will still come back. Second Uncle, you can also come to visit the Capital."

"So, can Wanwan really still attend Capital University?" Lin Nianqiang, however, looked to Shen Chi.

"Yes," Shen Chi was startled, then he understood, "I had arranged for Wanwan to take a leave of absence, her student registration hadn’t been canceled."

Lin Nianqiang breathed a sigh of relief, truly at ease now. As long as Wanwan could go to university, even if Shen Chi let her down later, she could still live worry-free as a university graduate.

With this in mind, his gaze towards Shen Chi turned into an unprecedented calmness.

"Come on, let’s not hang around with these women, we men are going to have a couple of drinks," he said and pulled Shen Chi and Lin Xiaoping away with him.

Li Fangmei and Zhou Fengqin happened to have some private words to share with Lin Xiaoguai. Seeing this, they didn’t stop them, and when the room was left with only Lin Xiaoguai and the two sisters-in-law, the two elderly women immediately came to life.

"When do you and Shen Chi plan to have a second child?" Li Fangmei asked.

"Ah?" Lin Xiaoguai was taken aback and instinctively asked, "Isn’t it still forbidden to have a second child?"

"Silly girl!" Zhou Fengqin gave her a tap, "Isn’t it just a fine? Are you short on money? Now that the family has money, your Brother Xiao Ping and the rest are planning to have two more."

"Right, your Brother Xiao Xi is also planning on giving Qi Qi another little brother or sister," Li Fangmei added, "Don’t get fooled by the government’s nice talk about family planning, having many children brings blessings. If everyone is an only child, finding help during difficult times is tough, blood relatives aren’t just for show. Even just for keeping the house lively, having more is better."

The Qi Qi she was talking about is Lin Xiaoxi and Tang Hanfang’s son, Lin Qi, who was born last year. This life is different from the last life; in the previous life, this couple also had a son, but it wasn’t until they were well into their thirties, not nearly as early as now.

Lin Xiaoguai was somewhat silent; "But Shen Chi is in the military, and if we have a second child, it wouldn’t be just a matter of paying a fine." From her past life’s experience, she naturally wanted to have more children, at least one of each gender, but reality wasn’t up to her.

When Li Fangmei and Zhou Fengqin heard this, they were startled, "Is that true?"

"It might well be," Qin Xiaohua wasn’t quite sure either, "I think I heard something like that when I went back to my mother’s house. Those government officials also face the same situation, apparently if they have a second child, they could lose their positions. It should be similar for those in the military."

There were quite a few military men in their area, but most either died on the battlefield or had come back home. There wasn’t a second case like Shen Chi who stayed on in the military for a career.

"That serious!?" Li Fangmei and Zhou Fengqin were shocked, their prior comments no longer appropriate.

The topic dropped, and they chatted about other, more trivial matters.

After the meal, Lin Xiaoguai went to look at Lin Xiaoping’s chicken farm before heading back.

While waiting for the bus, Lin Xiaoguai saw her eldest brother, Lin Xiaokang. He most likely saw her too, but without saying a word, he just lowered his head and walked past her.

Lin Xiaoguai felt an indescribable complexity in her heart when she remembered the jokes the adults used to say when she was young — Xiao Guai is so pretty, she doesn’t look like siblings with your brothers at all. Back when she heard these remarks, she would feel upset for a long time, but now, she felt somewhat... wistful.

Perhaps, her bond with them as siblings really wasn’t strong enough.

As the visiting relatives left, Lin Xiaoguai started to pack her luggage on the remaining day. At such times, she couldn’t help but think of an unpleasant incident that happened before they left the Magic City Guard Zone.

Actually, according to her original plan, apart from notifying Yu Xiaomiao and Wu Ermei — the two families with whom they were on good terms — to gather for a meal, and inviting Shen Chi’s close colleagues for a meal, she wasn’t planning to bother much with anyone else.
