Chapter 322: 138, software is ready, live streaming started! The whole family appears on camera, facing Chen Shanhe!_5
Seeing Li Jinwen, Lin Siyu quickly stood up, supporting Li Jinwen and said, “Sister-in-law, please walk slowly, the floor is slippery.”
Li Jinwen smiled and said, “It’s okay, I’m not that fragile. When I was pregnant with Xiaoxiao, I even worked as a cashier in a supermarket.”
“Oh?” Lin Siyu, with a mischievous sparkle in her eye, upon hearing this sentence, immediately raised her voice a bit and said, “So, sister-in-law, it’s really important to choose your man carefully, those who let their wives work while pregnant are really good for nothings.”
Lin Mo, who was drinking water at that moment, choked a little, put down his cup, and chastised irritably, “You girl, I think you need a good scolding every three days, do you understand that the elder brother acts as the father?”
At this moment, Zhang Li brought out the breakfast he had prepared and said with a smile, “Bro, don’t take her seriously. Try the poached shrimp I made today and see how they are.
“Sister-in-law, you must eat a bit more to get more nutrition. It’s good for both you and the baby.”
“Right, sister-in-law, you really must eat more or my brother will bully you.” Lin Siyu picked the largest shrimp, peeled it, and placed it onto Li Jinwen’s plate.
Li Jinwen took a bite and said with a smile, “Your brother treats me very well, he doesn’t bully me.”
“It’s you who shouldn’t be always bullying Jiang Feng.”
Jiang Feng?
Zhang Li paused, then carefully reminded her, “Sister-in-law, you got it wrong. Jiang Feng was the previous name; I am now Wang Baichen, from the Imperial Capital of Grand Xia….”
“Is that so…” Li Jinwen scratched her head and said, “Then I must have remembered it wrong, they do say pregnancy makes you dumb for three years!”
Actually, it wasn’t that Li Jinwen’s memory was deteriorating.
Honestly,
Having to change names every few days, living this way is really stressful, and very restrictive. It always feels like walking on eggshells, even though everyone tries not to use names, only nicknames, but occasionally, mistakes are still made.
Every time a mistake is made, the family would feel an intense sense of guilt, fearing that they might jeopardize Lin Mo’s plans. At home, it was still okay, but if it happened outside, it could be troublesome.
Moreover, their life in America wasn’t actually that great.
Even though they didn’t lack material conditions, whether it was the local culture, food, or customs, they found it difficult to assimilate and interact.
Take Li Jinwen, for instance, who always had a sensitive stomach; every time they ate out, she would unquestionably end up with an upset stomach.
Out of necessity, they had no choice but to cook for themselves, try to stay indoors as much as possible, and interact with their neighbors as little as possible.
If they could, no one would want to live this way.
Li Jinwen sighed to herself, but with a smile still on her face, she said, “Look at your sister-in-law’s memory, I’m sorry for always getting it wrong.”
Zhang Li waved it off, “It’s okay, sister-in-law. From now on, you can just call me ‘brother’ or ‘brother-in-law’ if you want.”
This wasn’t Zhang Li taking advantage of Lin Siyu because Zhang Li’s identity was in fact Lin Siyu’s lover.
Lin Siyu didn’t speak because she knew that now wasn’t the time for being playful or joking around. Having a fixed nickname could indeed prevent calling out the wrong name.
Because of this little episode, the atmosphere in the house was greatly affected, mostly due to the accumulation of stress over a long period of time.
Everyone silently finished eating, and then Zhang Li got up to clean up the dishes, preparing to wash them in the kitchen.
Lin Mo stopped him, turned to his daughter, and said, “Daughter, it’s about time. Go to your room and turn on the tablet. Your grandma is about to start your online class.”
Lin Xiaoxiao’s studies never fell behind; every day, Zhao Huixian conducted classes via remote video.
Of course, this was also a way for the grandmother to see her granddaughter more often and simultaneously provided something for the elderly member of the family to do.
Apart from that, Li Jinwen also made time every day to tutor her daughter.
“Okay, Dad, I’ll go right now!”
Lin Xiaoxiao obediently nodded, stood up, and walked towards her bedroom.
“I’ll go help the child adjust the tablet.” Li Jinwen also got up and followed into the room.
Zhang Li and Lin Siyu didn’t move, realizing that Lin Mo might have something to say or perhaps had other important arrangements.
After living together for some time, they had naturally developed an unspoken understanding.
After a while, Li Jinwen came out of the room and sat next to Lin Mo.
Lin Mo looked around, his gaze sweeping over each person’s face in turn, and then finally spoke up, “I have something to tell you.”
The three of them nodded, not interrupting him.
Lin Mo recounted to them the previous incident of spending money in the deep web to create live streaming software.
After he finished, everyone’s faces were filled with shock.
Lin Siyu was the first to break the silence, saying, “Bro, can this really work? The domestic internet is like a local area network, and it’s too simple to ban a live streaming app.”
She might not know much about the internet, but she could imagine how difficult and obstructive it would be.
“It is indeed very hard to solve the internet problem, which is why I spent so much money to get the world’s top hackers to create it. That’s also why I brought you all to America. Moreover, this time it’s just a small-scale live stream, and the number of people won’t be too many,” Lin Mo explained, “You can think of this as just a test, and the real, final version will still take some time to finish.”
“Of course, it’s possible that it may never be completed, but I think we have to try.”
“Only by trying will we know whether it can work or not. Haven’t we always been living like this before?”
“If we want to change our current situation, we have to do things that may seem hopeless.”
