Chapter 1173: Why Is Everyone Standing Here?

Fu Yan Cheng slowly drove the car forward while replying, "The train today, we'll be back tomorrow."

Xia Qiu heard his sister would return tomorrow, and his face was full of smiles: "That's truly wonderful."

Fu Yan Cheng truly had matters to attend to: "Sister, brother-in-law, I still have things to do, so I'll leave first. When Chuxue returns, we'll come over together."

Xia Qiu hurriedly waved his hand: "Go quickly and get busy."

Watching the car merge into the traffic, Xia Qiu sighed: "Truly unexpected. A brother-in-law of that status has not an ounce of arrogance here."

Qiu Shaofeng watched the car drive away: "Persuade Mom more often. Brother-in-law treats the family well only because of the second sister. Since coming to the city, have you noticed Mom has changed? To be precise, she changed after becoming pregnant. I can't say exactly how, but I can feel it."

Xia Qiu naturally felt it too, but that was her own mother; she certainly couldn't go along with the trend: "The environment changed; it's normal for people to change a little. Don't overthink it."

Seeing his wife speak thus, as a son-in-law Qiu Shaofeng naturally couldn't continue. He looked at the son in his arms, who was looking around with curiosity, and said: "Son, you'll see your little uncle soon. Hey, your generation rank is truly unmatched."

Xia Qiu heard Qiu Shaofeng's words: "What nonsense are you saying to our son?"

Qiu Shaofeng quickly smiled and explained to his wife: "I was just joking with the son. Whether the son will have thoughts about it later has nothing to do with me."

The young couple bickered their way to the Xiao house, only to see a crowd gathered at the courtyard gate. Thinking something had happened, they hurriedly quickened their pace.

As they approached, they heard Xiao Mu boasting proudly: "Sister Liang, my son has three older sisters above him. I dare not say how glorious his life will be with their care, but he certainly won't suffer hardship. Don't bother telling me about your three sons. Look at your daily life of chaos; I feel tired just watching it."

Liang Jia Ming came out and heard these words. He knew it was certainly his wife's sharp tongue again, showing off about having three sons. Didn't she see what kind of family the Xiao household was? She was clearly meant to come out and build good relations with them, but now, she had probably said something unpleasant again and angered them.

He hurriedly stepped forward: "Xiao younger brother, younger sister-in-law, you're back. Congratulations, congratulations."

Seeing her husband come out, Sister Liang finally remembered the task he had entrusted to her: "Oh my, look at this mouth of mine. I really speak without thinking. Younger sister-in-law, please don't hold it against me. There are still a few eggs at home; I'll bring them over now as an apology."

The Cheng family wife, who had been standing there, quickly smoothed things over: "Sister, although it's warm today, the child is still small. Go inside quickly."

Just then, the elderly couple of the Xiao family returned from shopping, carrying items, and approached: "Why is everyone standing here?"

Xiao Fu could have said he had long wanted to carry his son into the courtyard, but his wife had been holding his sleeve tightly, refusing to let go. Knowing she had suffered frustration these years for lacking a son, and thinking the couple had finally held their heads high, he hadn't rushed to drag her back.

Even though the old man was retired, his aura remained. Liang Jia's wife, looking guilty, said: "Oh my, the fire is still burning in my stove. I'll go back first."

Everyone watched her scurry home and shook their heads with amusement. After all, this person would drag out her achievement of giving birth to three sons every time she entered the gate.
