Chapter 1003: This Must Have Cost You a Lot of Money, Right?

~4 min read 747 words

Xia Qiu didn't expect Chuxue to still remember such trivial old matters: "I am the eldest sister; taking care of you is what I should do. Besides, there were already few girls in the village who could attend middle school. I am already very satisfied to have finished middle school."

Chuxue didn't continue this topic, but turned around to take things out of the backpack: "Put these unprocessed foods away yourself; just leave the rest out in the open. Have your mother-in-law help you cook a bit every day; enough for you to eat is all you need."

She said this on purpose because she saw Qiu Mu standing right under the window. Seeing she hadn't left yet, she continued: "These things were hard to find for the family. We used up all the coupons Dad and I had saved. For my little nephew, don't be reluctant. Bringing these over is to ensure you recover your health while also feeding my eldest nephew well."

Seeing Qiu Mu had already left, she didn't say any more.

Xia Qiu was deeply moved by her sister's words: "I understand. Rest assured. With you all thinking of me like this, I will definitely have a good confinement."

It wasn't that Chuxue was too calculating; elders always thought brothers should support each other. After all, the other daughter-in-law was now also heavily pregnant, and Qiu Mu might easily soften her heart and give away the food prepared for her elder sister.

When they came, Chuxue and Fu Yan Cheng had already agreed not to eat lunch at the Qiu family.

After all, the Qiu family currently had one daughter-in-law in confinement, another heavily pregnant, and Qiu Tai Nai's health had been declining recently. She didn't want to cause trouble for others.

Seeing the items taken out, Xia Qiu gasped in surprise: "Xue, this must have cost you a lot of money, right?"

Chuxue smiled: "It is true that I prepared the items, but the money came from Dad. Just accept them peacefully."

Hearing her sister's words, a warm current flowed through Xia Qiu's heart. She thought that once her own circumstances improved in the future, she would surely repay her natal family well.

She was so busy being moved that she didn't notice the person crouching outside the window.

Chuxue naturally saw them, but this was the Qiu family; she couldn't very well drive them away. Besides, it was good they saw. Letting them know their elder sister is highly favored in her natal family would make them dare not easily cause trouble.

Not long after, Qiu Mu came in carrying a bowl of steamed egg custard: "Xia Qiu, come eat while it's hot."

Just then, brother-in-law Qiu Shaofeng also walked in.

Chuxue still had matters to attend to upon returning to Huicheng. Seeing her brother-in-law enter, she said: "Brother-in-law, take this chicken later to process and freeze it first. There are also three frozen fish; that will be enough for my sister to eat for a few days."

Qiu Shaofeng didn't expect his sister-in-law to be so generous: "This is prepared far too much."

"I am about to start work; I probably won't have time to come over recently. Since the weather is cold now, find a small jar and freeze them in the shady part of the courtyard; they won't spoil. With these plus what Aunt and the others prepared, and if you occasionally go up the mountain to hunt a pheasant or something, my sister won't lack anything during her confinement."

Hearing these words, Qiu Mu naturally understood Chuxue's meaning: "Our Junjun is a fortunate one."

Chuxue took a red paper packet out of her pocket: "Aunt, you know my mother's situation. Right now, she can barely take care of herself. Please work hard and be patient with my sister on this side. This is what Dad asked me to give you, and he asked me to tell you thank you for your hard work."

Qiu Mu hurriedly pushed it away: "As a mother-in-law and grandmother, serving my own daughter-in-law and grandson is simply my duty. How could I accept this?"

Chuxue directly stuffed it into Qiu Mu's hand: "This is the intention of my parents. Just accept it."

Xia Qiu knew this red envelope was probably prepared by her sister herself. After all, her own parents probably wouldn't think of such things. Her sister thought of even these details for her, and her heart was moved once again.
