Awakening the Daily Intelligence System

Lin Mo was lying on the bed, holding his phone.

After hearing Li Jinwen’s words, he was startled for a moment before his hand loosened unconsciously; the i82g Xiaomi 6 phone smashed directly onto his forehead.

“Damn….”

Lin Mo sucked in a breath of cold air, ignoring the pain, and quickly sat up asking, “Wife… what did you just say?”

“Look at you.” Li Jinwen couldn’t help but laugh at Lin Mo’s reaction and explained, “Didn’t I tell you a few days ago that it hadn’t come yet? So I tested with a strip, and there were two bars… I might be pregnant.”

“But don’t get too excited, the second bar is very faint, maybe I’m not pregnant after all!”

“Let’s wait a few days and go to the hospital to check my blood…”

Having a second child was not originally in Lin Mo’s life plan.

It wasn’t because he didn’t like children, but simply because he was poor.

If he had money, and his wife was willing, then he would be more than happy to have a whole soccer team of kids!

However, money, the biggest factor, was gradually being resolved.

If there really was to be a second child, it wouldn’t be impossible!

Lin Xiaoxiao would have a companion!

As for whether it was a boy or a girl? Lin Mo didn’t care at all!

He hugged Li Jinwen excitedly and said, “Really? Haha! No need to test! Wife, I have a strong hunch that you are definitely pregnant!”

“From tomorrow on, you’d better not run around anymore. Let the parents handle the lottery shop, I’ll have them come over in advance!”

“You just stay at home and enjoy life!”

“Silly!! How can that be possible, there’s not even a trace of evidence yet!” Li Jinwen shook her head firmly, saying, “And even if I am pregnant, it’s not like I can’t tend the shop; it’s not heavy labor.”

“I really don’t want to stay at home alone every day, it’s so boring.”

“I’m not that fragile, let’s wait until the hospital visit is done, then if it’s true, we’ll listen to the doctor!”

Lin Mo wanted to say more, but he actually knew that even if Li Jinwen were pregnant, she would definitely not be able to sit still.

It was like that when she was pregnant with Lin Xiaoxiao. If you told her not to go to work, she would insist on going out.

But a moderate workload is actually a good thing for a pregnant woman.

Staying at home all the time, lying in bed, is rather not a good thing.

After a while, Lin Mo asked with a smile, “Wife, what do you think we should name our second baby?”

“That’s jumping the gun! Are you crazy? Why are we picking names already!”

“Just think about it!”

“Think about your head— Go to sleep already— Turn off the light! Don’t wake Xiaoxiao!”

Lin Mo was indeed very excited, and after a while, he spoke again, “You didn’t remind me, and I almost forgot, shouldn’t we prepare Xiaoxiao mentally first? I’ve seen online that many kids worry they won’t be favored anymore once the second child comes!”

“That shouldn’t be the case, Xiaoxiao has always been saying she wants a little brother or sister.”

“That’s great’-”

“Husband, let’s sleep.”

“Alright, alright, let’s sleep. We’ll go to bed early and tomorrow morning we’ll take Lin Xiaoxiao together and then go to the hospital for a check-up!”

“Let’s go in a few days instead, going tomorrow might not reveal anything.”

“Let’s just try it, what if?”

“Fine, whatever you say… I’m really starting to wonder if last time, you did it on purpose without protection!”

“Hahaha—”

The two of them turned off the lights amidst laughter and gradually fell asleep.

After a while, the system information refreshed.

Lin Mo glanced over it briefly—there was no particularly important information this time.

It was all daily gossip.

It was probably related to spending all of yesterday at the wholesale market.

After checking everything briefly, he closed the system interface and then fell asleep hugging Li Jinwen, murmuring softly.

Early morning.

After dropping off Lin Xiaoxiao at school, Li Jinwen was dragged to the hospital by Lin Mo.

They waited in line, registered, found a doctor, underwent examinations, waited for the reports, and then entered the doctor’s office with the reports in hand.

The female doctor looked over the report and said, “We can’t see the embryo on the ultrasound yet; it may not be 6 weeks along, but your HCG levels have indeed risen.”

“Come back for another check-up in two weeks!”

Pregnancy is like that, hard to detect in the early stages, and even with examination, the results might be uncertain.

After all, Lin Mo and his wife were expecting their second child, so they had some experience in this regard.

Leaving the hospital, Li Jinwen teased with a smile, “Look at how anxious you were. What did I say? We needed to wait a few more days for a result, right? Now we’ve wasted several hundred on the examination fee for no reason.”

Lin Mo scratched his head awkwardly and tried to butter her up, “Heh, I was just thinking about your parents coming over. I wanted to prepare an early surprise for them. If you’re pregnant, both my dad and mom will be so happy they won’t be able to contain themselves!”

“Psh, yeah right, my husband thinks of everything.” Li Jinwen didn’t expose Lin Mo’s little schemes, and as they walked, she added, “Speaking of serious matters, the lotto shop was demolished yesterday, and the renovation company is going to confirm the renovation plans today, you want to come with me?”

Renovation?

Lin Mo frowned and persuaded her, “Wife, you’re pregnant now, you really shouldn’t be around harmful substances like formaldehyde. I’ll keep an eye on the renovation; you just go home and rest.”

“Rest my foot, I’ve told you I’m not that fragile. I’m not made of tofu, I won’t fall apart at the slightest touch. Also, you’re busy with the investing at ginger shoot’s place, right? You definitely can’t handle both on your own. That’s the important matter—make sure you handle it well. If you lose my money, you’ll see if I don’t beat you to death!” Li Jinwen waved her fist fiercely, then added with a smile, “Besides, it’s just a simple renovation, not a major one. At most we’re installing some ceiling tiles and designing some cabinets; there won’t be that much formaldehyde.”

Lin Mo narrowed his eyes.

Thinking about it, she did have a point.

The renovation of the lotto shop was very simple and didn’t require much effort.

Moreover, Lin Mo knew his wife wanted to help out; she couldn’t just sit still.

After some thought, he nodded and said, “Alright, but you mustn’t overexert yourself. If there are any issues, call me anytime.”

“Besides, I won’t come over in the morning; I have some other things to take care of today!”

After a bit more sweet talk, the couple finally went their separate ways.

Li Jinwen, full of energy, drove off to deal with the lotto shop, while Lin Mo took a cab home, gathered all the fishing gear, and hurried to Gulf National Forest Park for fishing by the lake.

According to intel from the day before yesterday, Chen Shanhe was going to Gulf National Forest Park to fish today.

Although his father’s salary was about to come in and there was no need to obsess over whether Chen Shanhe had any relationship with Lvkai Group’s chairman Chen Kainan, gathering intel was a job that couldn’t stop.

That was his means for making a living!

Not to mention, he had spent yesterday in a cold storage, and today’s load of intel was clearly of lower quality, mostly gossip about vegetable vendors.

It was somewhat interesting to read, but ultimately useless.

When he arrived at the lake in Gulf National Forest Park, Lin Mo took a look around and didn’t see Chen Shanhe anywhere.

It seemed he hadn’t arrived yet!

But that was alright. The allowed fishing area in the park was not very big, so as long as Chen Shanhe showed up, he would surely be seen.

There was no need to be too close.

“Just a few glances from a distance will do. If I happen to run into him every time, that would raise suspicion that it’s intentional, and being targeted by such a bigshot is not a good thing.”

With that thought, Lin Mo stopped dwelling on it and started getting ready for fishing.

It has to be said,

that compared to his last time at Mingyuan Lake, Lin Mo’s technique this time was much more practiced.

After spreading the bait and dropping the hook, he took out his phone to check it.

There weren’t many private messages.

One was from a boss he knew from construction, telling him that the work at the lotto shop was done and asking him to send over the money when he had a chance.

Even though they were acquainted, construction is tough work, and it would be embarrassing not to pay him.

The agreed price was 800 yuan, and Lin Mo did not plan to show off by paying more, so he transferred the agreed amount and replied, “Thanks, I’ll treat the guys to a meal when the shop opens!”

After closing the chat window, Lin Mo glanced at the family chat group.

The family chay group had been quiet recently; the wealthy cousin, Chen Hu, wasn’t giving out red packets anymore, and no one else was posting much either.

It was mostly just joining in, chopping once, casting a vote, or liking something.

However, when Lin Mo closed the family chat window and casually opened the chat with classmates, he found today’s conversation was unusually lively…
