First Marriage Then Love 2

Chapter 8 part 1: Suspecting pregnancy 2

– April 21, 2021

Father Zhou sat in the main seat, Mother Zhou sat on his right hand side, and Xiao Bin the child was sitting next to Mother Zhou, so that Mother Zhou can take care of him easily.
Zhou Han occupied the seat on Father Zhou's left hand, while Lin Li sat obediently next to Zhou Han.

Tonight, Mother Zhou seemed to be particularly happy, and her face could never stop smiling.
Looking at Lin Li and then at Zhou Han, the smile on her face seemed to deepen.

Father Zhou still had that serious expression, just like Zhou Han's usual expression.

In fact, Lin Li couldn't help but sigh in her heart when she met Father Zhou for the first time.
No wonder Zhou Han's usual expressions are always so stiff.
It turns out that it's genetic!

When Father Zhou muttered in a slightly low voice with a little laziness and said ‘eat’, the people at the table began to move their chopsticks.

Lin Li was holding the rice bowl with a wry smile in her heart.
Mother Zhou seemed to have heard from the housekeeper that she had vomited all the glutinous rice balls before.
She was afraid that she would be hungry.
So tonight, Mother Zhou personally gave Lin Li a 'big' bowl of rice.
Stacked up looking like a pyramid, a little bit sharp.

Holding the rice bowl, Lin Li somewhat helplessly took a bit of rice and put it in her mouth, thinking about how to finish this big bowl of rice afterwards, thinking that maybe after she's done eating, she couldn't avoid to throw up again later.

Mother Zhou sat opposite Lin Li, watching her with a smile on her mouth, giving her grandson a bite, then turned her head to stare at the son and daughter-in-law sitting in front of her, only seeing the two of them, Zhou Han and Lin Li eating and picking vegetables for herself.
Mother Zhou secretly scolded her wooden-block son and kicked him under the table.

Unexpectedly, the person who was kicked didn't seem to have any reaction.
They still ate their own meals and picked up their own dishes, but Lin Li looked up at her in confusion and doubt, and looked at Mother Zhou for unknown reasons.

Mother Zhou realized that she had kicked the wrong person.
She hurriedly laughed and shouted at Zhou Han: “Ah Han, why are you just eating by yourself? Lin Li stayed for dinner for the first time, she must be being polite, why don't you pick more food for her, don't be too polite.”

Zhou Han raised his head and glanced sideways at Lin Li, his eyes raised slightly, as if asking, ‘Are you being polite?’.

Lin Li hurriedly waved her hand at Mother Zhou and explained: “I'm not, I'm not, I'll just do it myself, I'm not polite, I'm not polite…” She was thinking, if Zhou Han really gave her some food, she really didn't know if she could eat them all, she didn't want to be where when everyone had finished their meal, and yet she was still struggling to eat hers.

“In the future, everyone is your family, don't be a stranger, okay, just treat it as your own home.
Here! Eat more, eat more.” Mother Zhou smiled and then winked at Zhou Han, and then she took a large piece of braised pork and put it in Lin Lin's bowl.

Lin Li could only accept it and nodded with a dry smile, “Thank…
thank you, mom.”

Suddenly, another big chicken leg was picked up by the man next to her and was put in Lin Li's bowl.
Lin Li was surprised and turned her head to see Zhou Han only saying, “Eat more.” Then he went back to care for himself and ate his meal.

Lin Li stared at the rice bowl in her hand with an urge to cry.
If it was the Lin Li in the past, it would not be a problem even if the food was increased several times.
But now, for a person who is suspected of having anorexia, if she even could finish half of it, then it would be a miracle!

And at this moment, Father Zhou, who had always been so serious, suddenly spoke, and said to Lin Li, “Don't be cautious, treat it as your own home, eat more.”

Lin Li could only smile and nod her head.
She couldn't say no to their enthusiasm and kindness.

“By the way, Ah Han, when you have time, you should take Lin Li to the hospital.” Mother Zhou said without looking at them, with a slightly ambiguous smile on the corner of her mouth.

“What's the matter?” Father Zhou looked up, looked at Lin Li and then at Mother Zhou.

Lin Li and Zhou Han were also taken aback, they didn't quite understand what Mother Zhou had meant.

Mother Zhou fed Xiao Bin a bite of rice, looked at them giddily and said: “I heard auntie said that Lin Li vomited in the afternoon.”

Father Zhou and Zhou Han turned their heads at the same time to look at her.
Both father and son had the same eyes, they seemed to be asking if there was such a thing.

Lin Li can only nodded blankly.

“Lin Li, tell mother, did you have it?” Mother Zhou said while laughing.

“Have what?” Lin Li couldn't react for a while.

“Baby ah~!” Mother Zhou said it for certain, as if she was really sure of it.

Lin Li was taken aback, but didn't react for a while, she just stared back at her blankly.

TN: In the first story, when I read about Lin Li the glutton, she always made me jealous, because all the food she was eating was really good! And then now, reading about Lin Li who's sick really makes me sad  but don't worry! There's sunshine after every rain
