Chapter 289: Chapter 289: That’s So Frustrating Chapter 289: Chapter 289: That’s So Frustrating “Clan Chief, I was also hesitating.”

Lin Laogeng’s sharp gaze swept across Liu Baixiao, who was shrinking his head, and then looked at Clan Chief Lin.

“But last night that child was burning with fever all night. If he weren’t blessed with luck, we would not have seen him open his eyes this morning. Look at this state of affairs, if I were to abandon that child, it would mean taking his life.”

“Hiss!”

Upon hearing his words, Clan Chief Lin also drew in a cold breath.

Being seriously injured and having a high fever, if the temperature doesn’t drop, it could indeed be fatal. Thinking about this, he turned his head and glared at Liu Baixiao fiercely.

Liu Baixiao, who was being glared at, felt his scalp tingling, and shrank his body even more, bearing the pain in his body.

“But, Laogeng, you have Changhong and Sangsang still, wouldn’t it be too much to raise another one?” The clan chief asked him with some hesitation.

If Lin Laogeng’s legs were still fine and he could work, it would be okay, but their big family is completely relying on Three’s family, could this work?

“I heard that you invited a doctor from the town today. Is Ms. Lin of Yang Family pregnant again?”

Isn’t that just another mouth to feed who can’t work? And it’s a pregnant woman who needs to be nourished with tonics.

“Yes, she’s pregnant.”

Hearing someone mention his daughter-in-law’s pregnancy, Lu Qiubo was rarely happy and responded.

But thinking about what the Clan Chief was implying, she quickly hid her smile and looked at the Clan Chief solemnly, “But it’s not a big deal, raising a child is easy.”

“Laogeng, what do you think?”

Clan Chief Lin thought that after all, Lin Laogeng was the head of the household and he should ask for his opinion.

“I also think the same. That child is too pitiful. No matter how poor our family is, we have to grit our teeth and take good care of him,” Lin Laogeng immediately said.

Seeing him say this, Clan Chief Lin did not persuade him anymore and nodded in agreement. He said that a good day would be found to record Lin Chushui’s name in the clan genealogy, and from then on, he would be part of the Lin Family.

Liu Baixiao stood there, unable to get a word in, feeling incredibly frustrated. In the end, he had no choice but to bow down and apologize to the elders under Clan Chief Lin’s coercion.

When he finally got up, his bones felt as if they had been disassembled and remade.

In a short while, seeing that the matter was settled, Clan Chief Lin prepared to leave. Lin Changhong quickly gestured to Lu Qiubo, and they forcefully handed the prepared eggs to Clan Chief Lin. He refused a few times, but eventually accepted them.

“Oh, right, Laogeng, you have to take good care of that girl He. If she can’t help with the household chores, she shouldn’t add to the chaos, don’t you think?”

With an afterthought, Clan Chief Lin halted his steps to leave and turned back to remind Lin Laogeng.

“I know, I know, I will discipline the girl properly.” Lin Laogeng quickly responded.

With a smiling face, he watched Clan Chief Lin leave, and the two men held Liu Baixiao by the collar to escort him away, then his expression turned cold again. He had been quite happy, but thinking of Lin Caihe, he couldn’t maintain his jubilation anymore.

Locked in the firewood room, Lin Caihe had heard the Clan Chief preparing to leave and thought about shouting out loudly to beg the Clan Chief to save her.

But who knew, after only a moment’s hesitation, she heard the Clan Chief mentioning her, his words full of orders for Grandpa to discipline her and control her.

Had she become such a bad person that even the Clan Chief despised her?
