When Li Ye and Wen Leyu left the station, they deliberately lagged behind Wen Guohua, her older brother, and Li Ye told Wen Leyu about IVF.
"It wouldn't be appropriate for me to talk to Sister-in-law about this. Why don't you go sound her out?"
"Me, sound her out?"
Wen Leyu's little face froze. She asked strangely, "Shouldn't she be the one asking us for help? She should be begging me!"
"..."
In his previous life, Li Ye had known that women had a unique set of scales between them, and only women could see the mark on those scales clearly. Things men found unimportant might weigh heavily on them, while things men thought were earth-shattering might seem feather-light to them.
Li Ye felt that, to resolve his older brother-in-law's predicament, he should take the initiative to have a heart-to-heart with Pan Xiaoying, persuade her to put down her mental burden, and bravely undergo the examinations and IVF.
But Wen Leyu's first thought was actually, Shouldn't she be coming over to curry favor with me?
Tsk, tsk, tsk. She was her own sister-in-law!
This relationship between sisters-in-law truly was one of the world's great problems.
Li Ye thought it over and said quietly, "Since Big Brother told us about it, and we mean to help, dragging it out isn't a solution. What if our mom comes directly to us and chews us out bloody, saying we're heartless?"
Judging by what Teacher Ke had done on New Year's Eve, she was practically desperate for a grandson. If Li Ye and Wen Leyu kept stringing Pan Xiaoying along and delayed her grandson from being old enough to run errands for soy sauce, then a scolding raining down on their heads would be the least of it.
"That definitely won't happen!"
Wen Leyu
