Chapter 926: Chapter 929 Inside Lai
Qiao Duo’er helped the old lady Bai sit down and poured three glasses of water.
"Arguing with that bastard for half a day, I’m dying of thirst."
"You’re about to become mothers, you must keep your mood calm, it’s better for both the adult and the child."
Old lady Bai reminded them.
It truly had been tough on Ling’er and Duo’er this time. Pregnancy was already very tough, yet they also had to worry about the epidemic.
"I don’t know what got into this little one. It’s already the due date, and yet he just clings on inside and refuses to come out," Chen Yi Ling said, pouting.
Three days past the due date, and still not a sign of the baby coming.
She felt very depressed.
She dreamed of giving birth to the baby because that would mean her release.
"He knows it’s unsettling outside, so he’d rather hide in mother’s belly where it’s safe."
Old lady Bai said cheerfully, childbirth is something that can’t be rushed, it will happen when it’s time.
Chen Yi Ling pouted, "He might be happy, but I’m the one suffering, with back pain and sore waist all day long. I really want to get him out."
"Sleeping isn’t comfortable either," Qiao Duo’er said empathetically.
In the past, she could sleep soundly until dawn, but now she would wake up many times in the night, simply because she was too tired from sleeping.
"The bigger the belly gets towards the end, the more one suffers. However, it all feels worth it the moment you hear the child cry,"
said Old lady Bai, sharing her own experience as someone who had been through it before.
For the sake of the children, no amount of pain or hardship is too bitter—it’s all sweet.
After a while of heartwarming conversation, Old lady Bai stood up to leave, and Ling’er and Duo’er walked her to the door.
Old lady Bai urged, "I could find my way here with my eyes closed, hurry back now, don’t exhaust yourselves."
Qiao Duo’er nodded, then added with concern, "Granny, it’s dangerous outside now, you must not leave the house at will anymore."
If anything were to happen, she would never be at peace in this lifetime.
"How about you move into the Government Office, then Duo’er and I could keep you company every day,"
Chen Yi Ling suggested, hoping to eliminate any potential dangers. 𝖓𝔬𝔳𝖕𝖚𝖇.𝖈𝔬𝔪
"What will people think if this gets out? Regardless, with all my coming and going, you mustn’t find me a bother,"
Old lady Bai refused without hesitation.
She considered herself unlucky and knew she had to stay clear when Ling’er was about to give birth.
But being as stubborn as she was, she couldn’t care less about those she disliked, not even wishing to spare them a glance. However, for those she cared about, she always desired to treat them even better.
Now that she had finally found two younger ones she had grown fond of, especially with Ling’er in such a condition, she couldn’t help wanting to come to see them.
She was just afraid of overstepping, causing them to feel annoyed.
"Not at all, having one more elder to care for us makes us so happy!" Qiao Duo’er said earnestly.
She hadn’t had any elders to speak of in her past nor present lives, but from Old lady Bai, she learned how blissful it was to be cherished by an elder.
Chen Yi Ling nodded vigorously, her own family wasn’t here, how many people really cared about her?
Old lady Bai was in high spirits, her face still wearing a smile as she got into the carriage.
She had undergone many hardships in her life, but in the end, having such affectionate juniors made it all worthwhile!
"Old lady Bai, it’s been a long while since I’ve seen you this happy," Granny Luo said with a smile.
Old lady Bai nodded, "Seeing those two girls thrive just makes me happy, finding a good man is not easy."
Qin Longyun and Tan Zhenghong were both fine men, far better than those who would womanize and indulge themselves in pleasures.
Granny Luo knew Old lady Bai was reminded of the late Master again, but she didn’t know how to comfort her.
