Of course she knew what her second brother intended, so she secretly stopped him earlier.
But he didn’t listen at all, and now look, they’re all drunk.
Each one is suffering, totally brought it upon themselves.
"Let them laugh at me? No way!" He’d rather drink until he’s on the floor than pretend to be drunk and let others laugh at him.
"Who would laugh at you? We’re all family."
"They are not my family."
"Got it, you lie down and rest, I’ll bring some sober-up soup, you’ll feel better." Tian Xingyun said, pursing her lips.
"Come here!" Huo Shaohua beckoned her, moving his body closer to the edge of the bed.
"Are you feeling unwell?" Tian Xingyun asked with concern, sitting by the bed.
The village’s wine is quite unique and strong, she was worried about him drinking so much.
"A bit unwell." Huo Shaohua gently looked at her belly, reaching out to touch it.
His head rested on her thigh, with his face pressed closely against her belly, near the baby.
"..." Tian Xingyun froze, surprised by his actions.
She was completely still, afraid to move.
"Is the baby a boy or a girl?" he suddenly asked.
"Can’t you check the gender?" Huo Shaohua frowned, thinking about how relatives could find out their baby’s gender before birth.
"It’s illegal; the hospital doesn’t allow asking about the baby’s gender." Tian Xingyun instinctively felt tense, scared that knowing the gender might lead him to pressure her into aborting the baby.
If it’s a boy, they would surely keep it, but a girl might be unwanted?
"I’ll take you to another hospital to check another day." He was curious about the baby’s gender, wanting to know if it’s a son or a daughter.
"No! That would ruin the surprise and anticipation." Tian Xingyun quickly spoke up to stop him, afraid her fears might come true.
"Then let’s not know; looking forward to the baby’s arrival feels quite nice too." Huo Shaohua agreed with her.
"You sleep now." Tian Xingyun said nervously, biting her lip; she was not used to this side of him.
"Thirsty." Huo Shaohua left her thigh, sitting up and rubbing his temples uncomfortably.
This wine’s aftereffect is strong, he didn’t feel anything while drinking earlier.
Now his dizziness is growing worse.
"You lie down and rest, I’ll get some water."
"Go ahead." Huo Shaohua lay back down, feeling too unwell to care about anything else, closing his eyes to rest.
Tian Xingyun tucked him in, then walked out of the room with relief.
When she came downstairs, Tian Ning was no longer in the courtyard, only her mother was sweeping.
"Mom, did brother Tian Ning go home?" Tian Xingyun asked her mom worriedly.
"Your third brother just came back, I asked him to take Tian Ning home, don’t worry." Mom Tian replied, head bent down sweeping.
"Is Huo Shaohua okay?" Mom Tian looked up worriedly.
Fugui and the others deliberately got Huo Shaohua drunk.
Not sure if his body can handle it, drinking so much alcohol.
"He’s okay, I’m bringing some sober-up soup upstairs for him."
"Quickly go, take good care of him, it’s been a rough night for him." Mom Tian said with a sigh, starting to feel sorry for her son-in-law.
He’s the young master of the Huo Family, yet he came to help with the work today.
After working, he got drunk, who knows if he’ll be upset.
"Mom, you should rest early too."
"Okay." Tian Xingyun nodded, turning to the kitchen to get the sober-up soup and water.
Returning upstairs, she found Huo Shaohua lying quietly with his eyes closed.
He seemed to be asleep, she gently placed the water on the cabinet.
Since he’s sleeping, she didn’t need to stay to take care of him.
