Rebirth in the 60s: A Path to Counterattack-Chapter 326. Useless? I’m clearly very useful, okay!
As soon as the car entered the yard, the couple saw their eldest brother/brother-in-law rushing out of the house with a worried look.
"How is it? Is it?" Fearing eavesdroppers, Liu Shouren didn’t finish his sentence and vaguely asked.
"Yes!" Shuzhen nodded with a smile, seeming oblivious to her brother’s anxious gaze.
After all these years of rebirth, could she say that only now does life feel complete?
The son she once owed so much to and couldn’t let go of, yet who was the most dutiful and sensible, was finally coming back to her!
The thought of restarting a mother-son bond filled Shuzhen’s heart and eyes with joy and excitement.
All those policies and regulations were forgotten in an instant.
She only focused on a balanced diet, reasonable exercise, and maintaining a cheerful mood, all for the healthy growth and smooth birth of her son.
Liu Shouren’s words were swallowed by his sister’s pure happiness.
So be it if it breaks the policy!
They can just pay more fines later.
In the end, it’s already happened; how could they bear to terminate it?
After all, it’s his nephew or niece!
Moreover, an abortion is more painful and harmful than giving birth.
Thinking this, he urged Shuzhen to hurry inside to avoid catching a cold in this chilly weather.
But the moment Shuzhen nodded and went inside, Liu Shouren’s attentive and concerned expression instantly turned sour and disdainful.
His icy look was like that of a wicked stepmother on TV, not needing any makeup.
Lianshan shrugged helplessly as he was stared at: "Trust me, brother-in-law. I never wanted this either. But, a small arm can’t twist a big thigh. In this family, Shuzhen’s feelings are always my top priority. If she wants it, if she hopes for it, what can I do?"
Since the day Shuzhen proposed to him, wanting to marry him and build a life together.
Liu Shuzhen has been Lianshan’s greatest treasure in life, deserving of all his spoiling and protection without question.
He never intended to assert his husbandly authority from the start.
The foolish brother-in-law always took pride in pampering his wife, and Liu Shouren thought it was quite admirable.
A true man must stand firm outside, honor his parents at home, teach his children, and cherish his wife.
Being timid outside but only arguing at home isn’t real manhood, is it?
He found his brother-in-law’s henpecked ways charming.
What he couldn’t stand now was that, at their age, he still got his sister pregnant, making her endure the pains of pregnancy and childbirth again.
He snorted coldly without saying another word.
He casually picked up a stack of books, leaving Lianshan with a scornfully turned back.
Lianshan, suddenly mocked, widened his eyes: Useless?
Being able to impregnate his wife at forty-five, making her forty-three and pregnant, clearly made him quite capable, as they were a loving couple!
Not bothered by the brother-in-law who couldn’t see wrong from right when protective, Lianshan quickly busied himself with moving things into the house.
Sigh, they came home a bit too early; the kids weren’t back from school yet.
Otherwise, with the five kids helping, each making two trips, this little chore would’ve been done neatly!
Once all the things were moved inside, he watched his wife struggle with snacks as the nausea hit fiercely again.
Rushing to help with water, back rubs, and cleanup, it was a hectic session.
After looking at his wife, who finally calmed down, it was already three thirty in the afternoon.
Shuzhen’s pregnancy was hard on her, with severe nausea at any moment.
If she could pass a day in peace, Lianshan would be grateful. How could he ask her to cook?
All he hoped for now was that after exhausting himself preparing a meal, his wife and the child in her belly would eat more than a few bites.
"Why not stay for dinner, brother? We stocked up on plenty of things in the provincial city!" Lianshan urged while tying his apron.
"No need, I just came over to check on things. I didn’t even tell your sister-in-law, who said she’s making my favorite sauerkraut dumplings tonight." Having talked with his sister, knowing their plans.
Seeing the foolish brother-in-law take such good care of his sister, Liu Shouren was reassured.
But before leaving, he didn’t forget to remind them to keep it confidential.
If not necessary, it was better not to inform Shouyi, Lian Hai, or Lian Yue.
With the current situation, the later they’re found out, the better.
As the weather grew colder and clothes thicker, hiding the pregnancy became easier.
Ever since Xinqing was born nine years ago, they hadn’t avoided pregnancy but also hadn’t conceived.
Most would think six kids would be their limit; who would’ve guessed they’d have more surprises at their age!
Liu Shouren criticized in his heart but dared not voice it.
For if he angered his sister, the consequences could be dire.
When the kids came home from school, Lianshan had already prepared a table full of delicious dishes.
After painstakingly slow-cooking a pork rib and corn soup just for Shuzhen. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢
But just two sips in, planning to praise its flavor. The soup seemed to revolt, rising in her throat, forcing her to rush to the bathroom to vomit again.
As she emerged, pale, supported by Lianshan, five pairs of curious eyes were locked on her.
"Alright, all of you eat; no need to look at me with such worry. It’s just nausea. Once the first trimester’s over, it should settle." Shuzhen smiled to calm them, fearing she’d scare the kids.
But truly, of all her six pregnancies, this youngest was the hardest on her.
If she remembered right, last life she began vomiting once she knew she was pregnant and kept at it until delivery, right?
Their family condition was poor, making proper nutrition scarce.
Being older and unable to keep food down, the baby was born scrawny and small.
She named him Yanzi because he always seemed to chirp with an open mouth like a young swallow seeking food. And she hoped he’d be like a stormy-yet-resilient seabird, facing all challenges bravely.
