Chapter 267 Xiao Ran's Strange Behavior
Ever since Zhou Chuan became pregnant, the two men in the family have been completely devoted to her.
She was given steamed buns but not dumplings, dry food but not soupy food, and she always went along with Zhou Chuan's wishes. She did live like an empress dowager for a few days, but after a while, she found it meaningless and started doing chores as before.
"Are you feeling alright? If not, don't push yourself, lest your Commander Xiao comes back and complains about you."
Since saving Zhou Chuan last time, Commander Xiao's attitude towards Li Dazui has improved a lot, and now she dares to joke with him.
Zhou Chuan sprinkled another ladle of water on the seedlings: "I'm barely here, I'm not even showing yet. In the countryside, that would be considered almost a due date. But as long as the baby hasn't been born yet, I still have to work in the fields, right?"
Even now in the countryside, there are still many people who deliver babies right in the fields, and quite a few of them go back to work the day after giving birth.
Li Dazui thought about it and agreed. She could just keep a closer eye on things. She then turned to Zhou Chuan and started talking about other things.
"You'd better not let your Xiao Ran play with the Zhao family's kids anymore. That kid is really bad; he talks badly about you behind your back."
Zhou Chuan put down the water ladle and walked to the fence of Li Dazui's house: "What's going on?"
Li Dazui then recounted everything he had overheard that day in detail:
"I don't know where that child learned so many unorthodox and heretical principles. He said that you're no longer close to Xiao Ran now that you have your own child. Isn't that nonsense? Back then, the two children were as skinny as bamboo poles. It was only because you took such good care of them every day that they became plump and healthy. You're such a kind-hearted girl..."
"Big sister, please don't talk about that child. He's also had a hard life. He must have suffered a lot at the hands of his stepmother. He's a pitiful child."
Zhou Chuan interrupted Li Dazui's endless chatter. She had also felt that Xiao Ran was acting a bit strange recently, but she hadn't thought much of it. So that's how it is.
"Thank you so much, Sister Li. I haven't been paying attention to my child's emotions lately. I'll talk to him about it later."
"Girl, you need to be more careful. Some people are inherently bad; you can't win them over."
Seeing that Zhou Chuan was still speaking well of Zhao Pan, Li Dazui felt even more that the boy was an ingrate. In just the past six months, he had eaten so much food at the Xiao family's house. Now that Zhou Chuan was finally pregnant, instead of helping to reconcile them, he was stirring up trouble between the mother and child. It was simply too hateful.
Zhou Chuan smiled and said, "Big sister, I know you mean well. But Zhao Fan isn't a bad person by nature. He might just be confused for a moment, or he might have some unresolved issues in his heart."
Li Dazui still looked dissatisfied: "Girl, you're just too kind. If this happened to someone else, they would have gone to argue with them long ago."
Zhou Chuan shook his head: "What problems can theory solve? It might just make the child feel worse. I think we should have a good talk with him. Maybe he has some difficulties."
Li Dazui sighed helplessly: "Alright, girl, you know what's going on. Just be careful and don't get wronged later."
Zhou Chuan nodded and replied, "I know, big sister. By the way, how's your child doing lately? He's here too."
Upon hearing this, Li Dazui's face immediately lit up with a smile: "My Erba Zi, he's learned to walk recently, and he's been causing quite a ruckus. Every day he plays with his older brother and sister, getting covered in mud..."
Zhou Chuan smiled and said, "That's great. The child is growing up and will have older brothers and sisters to play with, so you can relax a bit."
The two chatted about everyday things for a while, then Li Dazui went home to prepare lunch.
Zhou Chuan casually finished watering the vegetable garden, thinned out some seedlings, and then went back to the kitchen to prepare a meal.
She had to have a serious talk with the child about this, and she had to do it behind Xiao Beichen's back. If he found out, the father and son would probably fight. Even if she could reconcile them, Xiao Beichen would never allow Zhao Fan to play with Xiao Ran again.
Over the next few days, Zhou Chuan secretly observed Xiao Ran.
Sure enough, she noticed that he would stare blankly at her stomach from time to time, and when she noticed, he would force a smile and pretend to be very happy.
It seems he really took Zhao Fan's words to heart.
Zhou Chuan was trying to find a suitable opportunity to have a good talk with his child, but Xiao Bei was incredibly clingy, always inseparable from him after get off work. Wherever she went, he went; whatever she did, he helped her do.
Xiao Ran also started leaving school later and later every day, and Zhao Fan, for some reason, always avoided her, making it difficult for her to find an opportunity to get home.
Just as she was worrying, Xiao Beichen called her, saying he had received an urgent mission and had to leave that night, not coming back for dinner. He rambled on for a while before hanging up.
After finishing dinner, Zhou Chuan cleaned up the table and decided to talk to Xiao Ran that evening.
