Chapter 716: Chapter 716: The Atmosphere Is Too Good to Bear
Suizi’s jaw dropped, her face full of surprise.
She never imagined that her mom would visit her at this time.
Yu Jingting reacted the quickest, standing up and pointing to the sky.
"Quick, look! What’s that?"
Chen Lijun instinctively looked up due to his shout, only to find nothing, she then looked back at the family of four squatting on the ground with empty hands, their crabs gone.
Luoluo stretched out her little hand, quickly picking up the tiny bit of leftover crab on her brother’s face and put it into her own mouth.
See, it’s all gone~
"You secretly ate crabs behind my back?" Chen Lijun was not particularly fond of crabs, but her taste had changed since ever since she became pregnant. Just thinking about the crabs made her mouth water, and her voice was laced with anger.
"We have no crabs, what crabs are you talking about?" Yu Jingting refused to admit it persistntly, "Mom, are you hallucinating because you’re pregnant and craving food?"
Suizi nodded vigorously, yes, yes, it’s all in your imagination.
"Bro, this crab is so fat." Jiaojiao’s voice came from the doorway, Suizi closed her eyes, realizing they were busted.
Chen Lijun followed the voice, and indeed, Jiaojiao held a giant crab in her hand.
Jiaojiao had initially been squatting in the Courtyard maintaining the same pose as her brother and sister-in-law. Her brother had instructed her to keep the light off to avoid attracting her aunt’s attention, trying to create the illusion that the family had gone to bed early.
But there were too many mosquitoes in the Courtyard, so Jiaojiao had to go inside to spray Floral Dew. When she came back out, she got caught.
Chen Lijun gave Yu Jingting a mocking kick.
"Hallucination?"
This rascal, hiding the crab somewhere, surely.
In a critical moment, obedient Bobo reached under his waistband, pulled out a half-eaten crab, and handed it to Chen Lijun.
"Please have some, grandma."
"..." Who can even eat this?!!!
Chen Lijun just wanted to ask her grandson, aren’t you afraid it’s going to pinch you?
Seeing that their secret was out, Suizi stretched her hand behind her, but couldn’t reach anything, so she turned around and let Yu Jingting help her.
Chen Lijun was so mad her nose was crooked, Suizi’s skirt had a belt, and three big crabs were actually tied to it!!!
"All this for some food, was it worth it?" Chen Lijun said with extreme contempt.
"It’s not just about the food, you can’t eat crabs now, with your pregnancy— Mom, what are you holding there?" Suizi quickly changed the subject.
"This is for your house, but I regret it now, I’m not going to give it to you."
Chen Lijun made a move to leave, but Suizi quickly ran over with a playful smile, coaxing her mom into the house with promises of something better to eat. She gave Chen Lijun a cup of milk, which only made her more angry.
Refusing to serve crab was bad enough, but serving her milk was just insulting.
In the end, Suizi kicked Yu Jingting out to grill some big shrimp, which finally calmed the pregnant woman’s wrath.
"This courtyard was purchased by your father before our marriage, now it’s yours. Find some time to go through the paperwork. The house is not large, but it faces the street, perfect for renting out as a store."
Suizi looked at the address, amazing, this was a great location.
"Why don’t you keep it and rent it out yourselves? With a new baby on the way, you could give it to my brother."
"This was originally intended for you, we will talk when the one inside your belly grows up. If he is like you, a disobedient child that ate crabs behind my back, I won’t be giving him a cent— Why do you keep referring to it as ’little brother’, are you sure it’s a boy?"
It was still before the ultrasound scan for Chen Lijun, and she didn’t want to do it either, preferring to let nature take its course.
"Little Luobo and I call it little brother. The children say it is a little brother, so that means it is a little brother. Mom, the insight my two children have is sharper than an x-ray, they have correctly foreseen for several pregnant women."
"What is there to brag about having boys, I’ve never raised one, so I don’t even know how to teach them." Chen Lijun also began to imagine what the future child would look like, with smile creeping up at the edge of her lips.
"You just have to imagine my wife’s head bald but with same features, that’s what our son would look like." Jingting came over with the grilled shrimp, he gestured to Suizi’s face.
"You are the one going bald!!!" Suizi reacted angrily.
"Don’t boys usually look like their mothers? Look at Bobo, he looks a lot like Suizi. Or mom, you could shave your head bald and look in the mirror—"
Jingting dodged his mother-in-law’s ruthless hand. He needed to have some skills to be cheeky, didn’t he?
Although she was a bit disappointed not to eat the crabs, the shrimp tasted good. Chen Lijun was pleased and she didn’t beat around the bush anymore in her speech.
"That wireless factory is going to be turned into a roller skating rink. You two need to know your limits. If you really can’t make it profitable, don’t force it."
"Wow, where is the sun coming from? You’re being so gentle. Are you still my hard-hearted, unapproachable mom?" Suizi blinked, intending to tease her, but she felt a lump in her throat. Her mother had changed a lot, not so domineering as before.
Chen Lijun gave her a gentle tap on the head.
"You silly, has eating so many crabs made them pinch your brain?"
Suizi swallowed her tears, it seemed she was more accustomed to her mother’s usual style.
We are surely opening a roller skating rink, and we’re not just going to do it, we will do our best. We need to let everyone know, no matter how many babies my mom has, I will always be the eldest. Whenever this one comes out, if it is disobedient, I will punish it."
Suizi rubs Chen Lijun’s stomach, exuding the aura of an elder sister.
"Well, you can’t beat him." Luoluo casually said as she passed by.
Chen Lijun was amused and pulled her closer.
"How do you know he can’t be beaten?"
"Because the little brother inside will do this!" Luoluo posed a fighting stance, making sound effects that made everyone smile.
"She’s crazy from watching cartoons." Suizi laughed, "She’s seen so many cartoons, she probably expects you to give birth to a savior."
Recently, the TV has been broadcasting Fist of the North Star. Yu Jingting, imitating a character from the series, pointed a finger at Luoluo’s forehead as his daughter looked on expectedly.
"You have only three seconds left."
Holding her forehead, Luoluo retreated two steps, sat on the ground, and said in compliant, "I have no regrets in my life.....ah."
She spread her limbs wide, falling into a sprawl, she even tilted her head and stuck out her tongue.
Chen Lijun’s mouth twitched. What a weird combination.
Bobo seized the opportunity. He lunged from behind, aiming at his dad’s baggy pants. Luckily, Yu Jingting reacted swiftly and held on, preventing him from flashing in front of his mother-in-law.
Infuriated, Jingting picked Bobo up. With a face full of righteousness, Bobo started quoting lines from the cartoons:
"If I can bring light to the world, then let me return to heaven!"
"You stupid fool who hides crabs in your underwear, get lost!" Yu Jingting was angered and embarrassed, who taught him such a low move?
"Mom, when my little brother grows up, you can send him to live with me. Look how good our family atmosphere is."
"Hiding crabs in your underwear and pulling pranks... The atmosphere too good, I’m afraid it will breed a Ruffian." Chen Lijun laughed until her stomach hurt.
...
The roller skating rink opened soon after.
Chen Lijun thought that it might not attract many people, so after work she had the driver take a detour to check it out. To her surprise, it was bustling.
