Chapter 1004: Where Did You Get It? Aren't You Afraid of Being Discovered?
Unable to refuse, Qiu Mu had to put it away.
Although it was indeed as she said, taking care of her own daughter-in-law and grandson was only right, yet the in-laws being so considerate made her heart feel very pleased: "Tell your parents thank you for me. Rest assured, I will definitely take good care of this confinement."
Having heard Qiu Mu's words, Liu Chuxue felt her purpose was achieved: "Then it will be hard work for you, Auntie."
Qiu Mu then found an excuse and left.
Qiu Shaofeng looked at his wife on the kang: "Xia Qiu, I'll go handle these two chickens first; you two chat."
He also understood his sister-in-law's meaning; only by killing the prepared one first could it truly enter his wife's stomach.
As soon as Qiu Shaofeng left, Liu Chuxue took the prepared silver lock from her pocket: "Sister, this is my gift for Junjun. I heard silver can ward off evil spirits; during confinement, ordinary people won't come in, so wearing it won't worry you about others seeing it."
Xia Qiu looked at the silver lock in Liu Chuxue's hand and didn't know what to say: "Where did you get it? Aren't you afraid of being discovered?"
Saying this, she even patted Liu Chuxue once.
Liu Chuxue knew what she was worried about and smiled, saying: "Silver isn't worth much money; even if people see it, nothing will happen. However, after the child finishes the confinement, you'd better put this thing away first to save someone from making trouble for no reason."
Xia Qiu nodded lightly: "Okay."
After finishing the serious matters, Liu Chuxue glanced outside and leaned close to Xia Qiu: "Sister, how was the matter of the eldest son of the eldest branch pushing An Xiaojing resolved?"
Xia Qiu rolled her eyes upon mentioning this: "You don't know how disgusting Zhang Shanmei is; she even wanted to drag you and my brother-in-law into it, saying that if my brother-in-law hadn't shot a wild pheasant to stew chicken soup for me, this matter wouldn't have arisen, and if there's compensation, we must pay a share too."
In the end, Qiu Shaofeng's grandfather simply couldn't bear to listen anymore, came out and scolded the eldest branch thoroughly; the eldest branch paid An Xiaojing twenty yuan, and only then was the matter put to rest."
After hearing this, Liu Chuxue pouted and said: "If Qiu Dabao doesn't manage things again, we don't know what else he'll cause in the future; don't let him contact Junjun alone in the future."
Xia Qiu naturally understood her younger sister's meaning: "I know."
Having delivered the items and given the instructions, she prepared to return to Huicheng: "Sister, I have things to do in Huicheng, so I won't stay long; take good care of yourself, and I'll come visit you again when I have leave in a few days."
Xia Qiu knew her younger sister had to work tomorrow; although reluctant, she didn't ask her to stay any longer.
Hearing her come out, Fu Yan Cheng, who had been chatting with Qiu Fu inside the room, walked out: "Leaving already?"
Liu Chuxue nodded: "Yes."
Fu Yan Cheng walked to the window of Xia Qiu's room and waved at Xia Qiu on the kang as a greeting.
Liu Chuxue went to Qiu Tainai's room for a round, offered a few greetings, and only then took her leave from the Qiu family and departed.
Qiu Mu watched the person leave, then returned to the room and took out the red paper packet Liu Chuxue had given her earlier: "This was given by Xia Qiu's younger sister; she said her father asked her to bring it over."
Qiu Fu looked at his own wife: "How much?"
Qiu Mu whispered: "Six yuan; this is truly a generous gesture."
Qiu Fu nodded and said: "Since it is someone's sincere intention, then accept it; pay attention to the eldest son's wife's confinement, take good care of her, so as to be worthy of this heart of theirs."
"Does this need you to tell me? Even without this red envelope, I would still take good care; I am not an old fossil."
"Look, you're getting impatient; I was just thinking it's normal for them to worry, besides, they sent so many precious foods; I just wanted to show my stance."
