Chapter 1036: I'm Her Mother; Do You Think She Would Really Hold It Against Me?

Xiao Fu felt a headache the moment he saw her state; he didn't know if it was due to late-pregnancy anxiety, but recently his wife had been finding fault with everything and nothing: "Zhao Lamei, in another week Chuxue will be getting married. You're pregnant and can't help, I'm a man and don't understand those things, Xia Qiu is busy with her own affairs, so Chuxue is handling everything herself. Today you truly were ill-considered."

Xiao Fu, who usually spoke little, had opened his mouth in a way that made Chuxue look at him with new respect.

Seeing her husband not taking her side, Xiao Mu said: "I just thought that since I'd give birth during the hottest time of year, I wanted to be more comfortable during my confinement. How is that ill-considered? If I don't fight for myself, has anyone else considered me?"

Hearing her words, Xiao Fu turned to look at Chuxue: "Go attend to your own matters; I'll handle this here."

Saying this, he propped up the bicycle, stepped forward, and supported the heavily pregnant Xiao Mu: "Come, let's go back to the room first. I have something to say to you."

"I haven't finished speaking yet. What room are you talking about going back to?"

"I think Chuxue was right not to say more. You've had too many good days and now you're swollen-headed. Do you think you can fly to the sky?"

Chuxue didn't expect Xiao Fu to say such a fashionable thing; it seemed he had learned a lot from people after coming to the city and was slowly integrating into urban life. She didn't linger, going straight back to her own room.

Looking at all the preparations inside the room, satisfaction flashed across her face.

A lifetime's major event naturally shouldn't be too hasty; as for what others say, what does it matter to her?

Although the dowry was large, there was nothing excessive, so she wasn't worried at all.

After the quarrel with Xiao Mu, she had no mood to go out again; she closed the door, drew the curtains, and entered the space.

Meanwhile, in the other room, Xiao Fu said: "Zhao Lamei, you're pregnant, so I don't want to say harsh words. We can have such good days today entirely thanks to Chuxue's efforts, but you should never have picked this time to cause trouble without reason."

Seeing Xiao Fu's serious expression, Xiao Mu felt a bit nervous.

At first, whenever she threw a small tantrum, she felt some shame afterward for her actions, but after doing it several times and seeing everyone attribute her changes to pregnancy, plus everyone deliberately indulging her to avoid provoking her, she gradually began to take it for granted.

She truly hadn't expected her husband to lose his temper today, and with such a serious expression, as if meaning he would no longer care for her if she didn't admit her fault: "Changsheng, I didn't mean it. Maybe the little one in my belly is just greedy."

Hearing her excuse, Xiao Fu's face turned even uglier: "Don't think that because I've been recognized by the Xiao family, you have something to lean on.

You've seen it; my father will soon retire, and instead of living in a retirement home, he wants to live in the Xiao family's ancestral estate. Our future days will depend on ourselves.

But you and I both know our true worth. If you really anger Chuxue and she stops paying attention to us in the future, have you thought about what life in this household will be like?"

"What you say is wrong. Even without her, don't you still have your job? Do you think you can't support us mother and children?"

Xiao Fu looked at her with the frustration of someone who wants to turn iron into steel: "Don't you know how much Chuxue brings home every month?"

"What? I'm her mother; do you think she would really hold it against me?"

"Human hearts are made of flesh. When a child gives their all to the family, and you take it for granted, how would you feel if it were you?"

Seeing her fearless expression, he warned: "Her wedding day is approaching. I don't care whether your intentions are genuine or not; don't make her angry again, or don't blame me for turning against you."
