Chapter 1070: Xiao Mu's Stupid Idea for Chunxiao

Actually, the reaction of the eldest sister-in-law was only natural, and she could understand it quite well.

After dividing the property and chatting for a while, Chuxue prepared to take her leave.

But just as she stood up, Chunxiao came over: "Second Sister, isn't there a gift for me?"

The moment she said this, the room instantly fell silent.

Chuxue truly hadn't expected Chunxiao to pull such a stunt: "Who told you that I have to prepare a gift when I return to my parents' home?"

After a moment of slight bewilderment, Chunxiao said as if it were the most obvious thing in the world: "It's about to get hot soon. A few days ago, I saw a skirt at the department store with my classmates. Would you and Brother-in-law give it to me?"

Chuxue's face, which had been smiling, instantly lost all warmth: "Who gave you that idea?"

Chunxiao looked guilty and said, "Why would I need someone else to give me an idea? I thought that since you and Brother-in-law both have jobs, giving me a skirt wouldn't be difficult, so I brought it up."

A sneer flashed across the corner of Chuxue's mouth: "So you brought it up in front of the whole family at the moment of my return visit?"

Chunxiao glanced toward Xiao Mu, saw her own mother turn her face away, and quickly averted her gaze.

But her action was seen by everyone; even Xiao Fu, who was usually thick-headed, noticed it. He suppressed his anger in his heart: "Chunxiao, stop making a scene. Your Second Sister and Brother-in-law have things to do and no time to listen to your nonsense. Besides, if you want a skirt, tell your mother; she wouldn't possibly disagree."

Saying this, he stepped forward and dragged her to the side.

Chuxue glanced at Xiao Mu, a mockery flashing in her eyes, but she didn't directly shame her. After all, it wasn't easy to break ties on a day like today, and moreover, she was still the biological mother of this body, so it wasn't good to shame her in front of everyone.

Seeing Chuxue look at her, a sense of guilt flashed across Xiao Mu's face.

But thinking about it in the next instant, what was wrong with an older sister buying a skirt for her younger sister?

Just as she was about to say something, Xiao Fu pulled her, warning her with his eyes.

The old master of the Xiao family signaled the eldest sister-in-law of the Xiao family to bring out the prepared return gifts, then looked at Fu Yan Cheng and Chuxue: "You have things to do, don't you? Go quickly, don't let it be delayed."

After speaking, his gaze swept over the youngest daughter-in-law and his granddaughter Chunxiao, the warning meaning fully evident.

After Fu Yan Cheng responded, he turned and left with Chuxue.

But in the instant of turning, he also glanced at his sister-in-law.

Chunxiao's face was already embarrassed because of the old master's words; now, with that glance from her Second Brother-in-law, she was so frightened she didn't dare raise her head. After secretly glancing at her own mother, she regretted listening to her mother's advice.

That's right, a few days ago she went to the department store with her classmates and saw a skirt.

The skirt was indeed beautiful, but the price was also beautiful. She had begged her mother for a few days after returning, but her mother simply wouldn't agree.

Finally, worn out by her pestering, her mother directly gave her this idea.

She originally thought that in front of so many people, even if the two were unwilling, they would be too embarrassed to refuse. Who could have expected that Chuxue didn't care about that at all and asked directly.

Chunxiao didn't answer, but she saw clearly.

As soon as Fu Yan Cheng and Chuxue went out, they saw Xiao Li waiting by the car.

The two got into the car, and Fu Yan Cheng opened his mouth to say something, but thinking that Xiao Li was still in the car, he swallowed the words that were on his lips.

Chuxue didn't want outsiders to know about her family's messy affairs either, so she pretended not to notice, thinking that for some matters, it would be better to communicate with Fu Yan Cheng after getting home, after all, she didn't want that guy to be fooled by someone when she wasn't present.

Since the distance wasn't too far, Xiao Li dropped them off at the alley entrance outside the Fu family residence and left first.

On the way back, Chuxue finally spoke: "In the future, don't play the role of a do-gooder with my parents. No matter what requests they make, as long as I haven't nodded, you are not allowed to agree, including with Chunxiao."

Fearing he wouldn't understand, she added: "So they don't get used to it and take it for granted."

She didn't say any more, after all, Fu Yan Cheng wasn't stupid.

Carrying the return gifts from the Xiao family, she entered the door and saw Hao Yanhong standing in the courtyard.

Seeing them enter, Hao Yanhong's eyes fixed on the things they were carrying: "Yo, Fourth Sister-in-law, your natal family is really generous."

Hearing the commotion in the courtyard, Yanwan came out: "Fourth Brother, Fourth Sister-in-law, you're back."

Fu Yan Cheng handed over the two-jin piece of meat he was holding: "Cook it for dinner. Recently, the family has worked hard for you and your Fourth Sister-in-law; it's just right to give everyone some nourishment."
