Lin Yuan’s house was in total chaos, and the commotion was almost spreading outside. Lady Liu, the only one in the village who had given birth to three girls in a row, was the focus of everyone’s attention this time.
Good-hearted people were all hoping that Lady Liu would give birth to a son to provide some support for the family. Those with malicious intent, on the other hand, watched the excitement in secret and even sourly said that as long as Little Disaster Star Lin Yuan was around, Lady Liu shouldn’t dream of giving birth to a boy!
Of course, those with malicious intent belonged to the old Lin family compound.
Once again the sound of a carriage came from outside, and Lao Fan grumbled as Lin Yi helped him into the house. He was in the middle of trying Chef Wang’s new Mapo Tofu when Lin Yi abducted him into the carriage without a word.
"You Black-faced Ghost, last time you sneaked me out just , and now you’re at it again! I’m an old man, my bones can’t take this kind of rough handling! Huh, she gave birth? She’s already given birth so quickly?"
Lao Fan took two or three steps into the main hall, perking up his ears to listen carefully to the sounds inside. After a while, he lazily sat down in the chair, "No rush, no rush, there’s at least two more hours to go."
"You smelly old man, you don’t know anything about delivering babies, how can you know there are two more hours?" Xia Zheng was scared by his words. Since the onset of labor pains, more than two hours had already passed; if it were going to take another two hours, wouldn’t that be the death of Lady Liu from pain?
Lao Fan, looking down on him, didn’t even want to look at him anymore, snorted: "If you don’t believe me, then why let your Black-faced Ghost tie me up and bring me here? Hmph!"
Xia Zheng looked at Lin Yi, who guiltily shifted his gaze away.
Xia Zheng was expecting a scolding, but instead he said, "Tied up? If you tie, do it for real! Next time, don’t forget to bring a rope."
Lin Yi almost burst out laughing.
Lao Fan bristled and jumped up; if it weren’t for his concern for the woman giving birth inside, he probably would have cursed out this rascal by now.
As the two bickered, suddenly from inside the room came Lady Liu’s scream, using all her strength, followed by the clear cry of a newborn baby!
Lin Jiaxin, who was sitting in the chair, jerked his head up. If Xia Zheng hadn’t been pressing down on his shoulders to keep him from standing up, he might have already leapt up in excitement, regardless of his legs.
"Is it born? It’s born!" Lin Jiaxin grasped Xia Zheng’s hand excitedly, rushing toward the room yelling, "Da Ya, Da Ya, how’s your mom? Ah?"
With a creak, the door of the room opened slightly, revealing Lin Yuan’s tired but excited face, "Mom is fine, Dad, don’t worry."
After speaking, her little head was just about to turn back when she suddenly twisted around mischievously and asked with a grin, "Dad, aren’t you curious if Mom gave birth to a brother or a sister?"
Now that he heard that his wife was fine, Lin Jiaxin finally took a breath of relief. At his daughter’s words, he remembered he hadn’t yet asked if the baby was a boy or a girl.
Lin Yuan frowned, looking downcast and disappointed.
Seeing her , Lin Jiaxin already had his answer. Although he felt let down, as long as both mother and child were safe, he wanted for nothing else. He chuckled, "It’s fine, it’s fine. Dad likes girls too, just like our Da Ya, so smart and handsome. It’s alright, go back inside and check on your mom, go on."
Lao Fan frowned, wondering how it could be a girl? The pulse he took clearly indicated a naughty boy.
No sooner had Lin Jiaxin finished speaking than Lin Yuan suddenly looked up, a mischievous smile playing on her lips, and her eyes gleaming slyly, "Haha, Dad, it’s a brother, a brother indeed!"
Lin Jiaxin was taken aback and then realized he had been played by his daughter. Although he was annoyed, the news of having a son brightened his disheartened heart.
