"What I’m trying to say is, now that you’re part of my Liu Family, as long as you can handle the pressure and don’t listen to outside gossip, this military duty has nothing to do with you."
Lin Caisang said to him.
What can Liu Baixiao do? Even if he wanted to pay silver for Lin Chushui to use his name, he would only do so if Lin Chushui himself agreed. After all, Lin Chushui is currently registered under Grandpa and Grandma’s names, meaning he is the son of his father, the first branch of the family. He has very little to do with Liu Baixiao’s family.
However, Liu Baixiao isn’t a fool, and he’s likely to use the gossipy women in the village to pressure Lin Chushui.
"You don’t have to listen to other people’s gossip for the rest of your life. Once the draft is over, life can go back to normal." She added.
Lin Chushui laughed at her words.
"Sister Sangsang, I might not be good at other things, but when it comes to pretending to be clueless, I’m quite good at it. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have survived all these years in the Liu Family."
Had he not heard gossip while living in the Liu Family? There was probably more than in Ya Village, yet his life still moved on as usual.
Lin Caisang was finally relieved.
"I was worried you couldn’t handle it."
"No, Sister Sangsang, don’t underestimate me. I am very capable." Lin Chushui shook his head.
"Alright, you’re very capable." Lin Caisang laughed.
"If anything really happens, I can send you to Yejun to stay for a while. Don’t pressure yourself too much."
Lin Chushui was still a child after all. She didn’t want him to grow up too fast; he should still have some semblance of childhood.
Lin Chushui responded.
"It’s getting late, let’s go eat." Lin Caisang stood up, patting his shoulder as a signal for them to go eat.
Next, is Liu Yushui’s matter. She really wanted to know what Liu Yushui had done to make herself sick during pregnancy.
She had been pregnant for over six months. Unless something significant happened, Liu Rumei wouldn’t have tired herself making trouble at the Lin Family’s home. It seemed that this situation was much more serious than she had imagined.
She looked into the dark courtyard, and the next moment, Ya Molian came out from the main house.
At the Liu Family, Liu Baixiao was still laying on the bed all these days.
Although Ya Molian hadn’t done anything to Liu Baixiao for a while, he seemed to enjoy his time in bed after lying down for so many days. With his daughter-in-law, Liu Rumei, taking care of him like a mother, he quickly got used to this routine.
Liu Rumei was doing everything except feeding him. She was cleaning his body, attending to his personal needs, and Liu Baixiao could still make her work while he was relaxing. He was living comfortably indeed.
After wiping Liu Baixiao’s body clean, Liu Rumei tried to pick up the basin and leave the room but Liu Baixiao caught her arm and twisted it sharply.
"Ba...Big man, you, what are you twisting me for?" Liu Rumei shrank her neck in fear, looking up at Liu Baixiao. Due to losing two front teeth, she had a lisp when she spoke.
It was acceptable if she was aggressive outside, but when she came home, she had to be careful in front of Liu Baixiao. Actually, if Liu Baixiao was unhappy, he might even kill her!
"You wretch, have you had your fill of leisure time? What were you doing running to the Lin Family?" Liu Baixiao glared at her, and scolded her angrily.
