Chapter 585 What is most lacking?
Lin Chang'er and Bai He turned around at the same time and saw Madam Huo standing behind them with a bowl and chopsticks in her hands.
"I was thinking of discussing this with you later!" Lin Chang'er got up, moved her own bowl and chopsticks, and gave her seat to Madam Huo.
Bai He gestured for everyone to sit down, and Lin Chang'er moved a stone from the small flower bed in the corner to sit on.
Madam Huo didn't stand on ceremony and sat down gracefully, with Yudian's baby stroller right next to her.
Seeing the little guy calmly drinking from his bottle while kicking his little feet restlessly, he looked so adorable that I couldn't resist poking his chubby little feet!
Raindrop immediately put down the bottle, "Ya ya?" Who poked the baby?
Lin Chang'er laughed and got up to put the pacifier back into his mouth. "It's getting late. Other people's babies are already waking up several times by now. You should go to sleep after you finish drinking. Babies shouldn't stay up all night."
Raindrops seemed to recognize her, and after tearing open the milk bottle, she giggled and then went back to her cool and sassy selfie.
Seeing that the little guy had calmed down, Lin Chang'er sat back down and continued eating.
Madam Huo looked at her, "What did Chang'er just say she wanted to discuss with me?"
Lin Chang'er said "Oh," and "Is that so..."
She immediately told Madam Huo about what she had just discussed with Bai He. Fearing that Madam Huo might not be happy, she added, "Of course, it's not like you have to take over or anything like that. If it's inconvenient for you or if there's anything else, you can just tell me."
Madam Huo waved her hand, "What's inconvenient about it? Feng'er is the local official, so it's more than appropriate for me, as his mother, to manage the orphanage. My sister is getting better, so she'll definitely be willing to do it too."
My brother-in-law comes from a military family. What does he need most for fighting?
Of course it's people!
Before my younger sister returned to the capital as a hostage, she also ran an orphanage in the northern border. Several of those children have now become my brother-in-law's right-hand men.
My brother-in-law's family used to have seven sons, a very large and prosperous family, but now only my brother-in-law is left.
My sister had difficulty conceiving, and when she finally gave birth at an advanced age, the child disappeared without a trace.
If she could continue doing what she used to do, it might not be a bad thing.
After finishing their late-night snack, the matter was settled.
Wang Dalang and Dazhuang's group were temporarily arranged to stay in the front yard.
Although it was already quite late, Lin Chang'er still went to see the Princess Consort of Zhenbei with Madam Huo.
Along the way, Madam Huo kept sighing, "My younger sister was used to being carefree and unrestrained in her boudoir. I thought that her husband would favor her, that the couple would live in harmony, that her parents-in-law would be kind, and that her sisters-in-law would get along well. I thought that her life wouldn't change much after she married into the family."
Who would have thought that those years in her boudoir would be the happiest time of her life?
Hearing the sadness in her voice, Lin Chang'er was afraid that she would overthink things and become overwhelmed with grief, so she quickly took her arm and said, "How could that be? Now that Aunt is here, just focus on taking care of yourself. From now on, you'll have many happy days ahead."
"It's a pity that no one in the north is capable of taking over my uncle's household affairs. Otherwise, if my uncle could retire, life would be much happier."
Madam Huo was taken aback. Although her future daughter-in-law was usually very kind to her, she had always kept a proper distance from her. This was the first time she had been so close to her.
However, she quickly adapted.
He patted Lin Chang'er's arm and nodded, "Chang'er is right, the days ahead will be good."
"Mother..." Suddenly, a childish voice came from behind. Lin Chang'er turned around and saw Little Goldfish and Gu Xiaolu holding hands and chasing after them...
