Chapter 1094: A White Lotus Flower

Now it wasn't just Xiao Mu who was angry; Xiao Fu's face had also darkened: "Chunxiao, your mother is still pregnant. How can you be so unreasonable?"

Chunxiao's face looked very bad: "If my classmate's grandmother doesn't eat something good soon, her life might not be saved. I was just trying to do a good deed."

Hearing this, Xiao Mu became even angrier: "Do a good deed? Have you thought that I am still pregnant? I..."

Now, anger made her stomach ache faintly: "Changsheng, my stomach feels uncomfortable."

Seeing her like this, Xiao Changsheng was startled; fortunately, Xiao Mu's pregnancy had only made her belly grow.

He scooped her up in his arms and ran outside: "Bear with it for a moment; I'll take you to the hospital right away."

Chunxiao never expected that because of her, Xiao Mu would be so angry as to go to the hospital. She didn't follow to the hospital; instead, she went out in the opposite direction, so anxious that she even forgot to lock the main gate.

Running past two streets, she reached a large courtyard compound, quickly entered a household in the second courtyard, and called out: "Xiaomei, are you home?"

Xiaomei, who was busy inside the room, recognized Chunxiao's voice, tidied up the things in the room, and then came out smiling: "Chunxiao, why have you come?"

As soon as she came out, she first looked at Chunxiao's hands. Seeing nothing carried, her expression froze for an instant, then she said: "Why are you sweating so much? Come inside quickly, come inside; I'll pour you a glass of water."

Chunxiao reached out and grabbed Xiaomei's arm: "Xiaomei, something has happened. I might have caused trouble."

The one called Xiaomei wiped the smile from her face: "What happened?"

Chunxiao, looking extremely anxious, said: "My mother discovered that the salted fish and meat at home were given away by me. She got so angry that her pregnancy was disturbed, and my father took her to the hospital. What should I do?"

Xiaomei was no longer calm either: "What? How could this happen? Didn't you tell your family?"

In fact, she knew best that the salted fish and meat were stolen by Chunxiao from her home.

Chunxiao shook her head and said: "How could I know that was the last of the salted fish and meat at home? I..."

Xiaomei's eyes rolled: "Chunxiao, but that salted fish and meat have already been cooked by me and eaten by my grandmother. What should we do now?"

Hearing that it had already been eaten, Chunxiao said: "So quickly?"

Xiaomei put on an innocent expression: "My grandmother just wanted to eat a bit of meat. As soon as I got it, I cooked it for her. Chunxiao, I'm truly sorry. I didn't expect that the salted fish and meat you gave weren't approved by your family, but now..."

As she spoke, she began to shed golden beans: "I really cannot pay it back."

That choking voice made Chunxiao feel very guilty: "Don't cry. It was my own choice to give it away. This matter is not your fault."

After speaking, she turned around with a heavy expression and walked outside.

With tears still on her face, Xiaomei pretended to be worried and chased out: "Where are you going? If it weren't for helping me, you wouldn't have done this. How could I let you bear it alone? I'll go with you to apologize to your uncle and aunt."

Chunxiao was moved beyond measure: "I acted without thinking. You shouldn't come along. You still need to take care of your grandmother. I'll think of a way."

After speaking, she turned and ran out of the second courtyard.

Watching the figure disappear at the gate of the second courtyard, Xiaomei turned and went back into the room, muttering: "Truly useless. Just that little bit of meat, and she made such a huge fuss."

Not long after she entered the room, a small old woman came out from the third courtyard behind: "Xiaomei, who were you just talking to?"

Fearing Chunxiao's family might come looking because of this, she pulled her own grandmother into the room and recounted what had happened: "If her parents really come looking, what should we do?"

"This matter still requires you, Grandma, to take action. However, you'll have to endure lying in bed at home for a few days."

Hearing this, the old woman understood immediately: "You must act quickly. Hiding it anywhere is not as safe as having it in your stomach."
