Chapter 118: Sending a message to my sister and backing her up

When the shuttle bus arrived near the reservoir, Chuxue got off.

Her sister Xiaqiu’s situation at the Qiu family wasn't exactly good. First, the family hadn't split up, and second, the two daughters-in-law who had married into the Qiu family’s eldest branch both had stronger maiden families than her sister. The eldest daughter-in-law’s father was a small manager at the North Suburb Farm, and although the second daughter-in-law’s aunt was a second wife, the man was a workshop director at the county shoe factory. It was said that he had recently arranged a temporary job at the shoe factory for his eldest brother, so she felt superior in her husband’s family.

The book had descriptions of this. The eldest daughter-in-law of the eldest branch was fine, but that second daughter-in-law was a troublemaker in the Qiu family, often squeezing out the other sisters-in-law. Especially after the Liu family’s incident, she was even more sarcastic all day long. If it weren't for her brother-in-law, Qiu Shaofeng, being a person who valued affection, her sister probably wouldn't have had a good ending.

Since she had replaced the original owner, she would definitely protect her sister in this life.

She went down the slope from the reservoir, found a hidden spot to squat, and released her spiritual sense to investigate. Confirming the surroundings were safe, she released some pond water into the reservoir. She wanted to see if there was any difference in the fish species between this reservoir and the moat, and it would be perfect to collect some.

Before long, there was movement on the water surface. Besides the many catfish, grass carp, silver carp, snakehead, bream, carp, perch, salmon, and mandarin fish that were the same as in the moat, there were also sunfish, pale chub, and bighead carp here. She also collected quite a few soft-shelled turtles, and they were quite large.

Looking at the dense creatures in the space’s pond water, a smile flashed across her face. Next, she would speed up the pace of enriching the space; she couldn't waste this gift from heaven.

She clapped her hands, went onto the main road, pulled some iris leaves, tied two big fish, and walked straight toward the Qiu family.

When she arrived, there were quite a few people in the Qiu family courtyard. Someone recognized her: "Xiaqiu, hurry, your eldest sister is here."

Someone saw the fish she was carrying and exclaimed: "My god, such big fish!"

Xiaqiu had originally been thinking about going back to her maiden home, but she hadn't expected to hear her eldest sister had come. She didn't care about the work in her hands and ran out: "Chuxue, you’re back?"

After asking, she saw the fish she was carrying: "Where did you get the fish?"

Chuxue said with a smile: "I caught them. I just wanted to bring a few for you to taste. I came to tell you that Dad’s leg is fine, he just needs to rest for a while, so don't worry."

Hearing this, Xiaqiu’s eyes turned red: "That’s good, that’s good."

At this time, Chuxue saw the Qiu family’s great-grandmother, who had come out after hearing the commotion: "Great-Grandmother, where should I put these fish?"

The Qiu family’s great-grandmother was all smiles and said politely: "You came, why bring so many fish? Your father just returned from the hospital and needs to nourish his body. We haven't even gone to visit, how can we be so embarrassed?"

Chuxue had a good impression of the Qiu family’s great-grandmother: "Great-Grandmother, my sister has been married here for over half a year, and we all know how well you’ve treated her. It’s only right to show you some filial respect."

These words made the great-grandmother feel very comfortable, and she laughed: "I’m basking in the light of our Xiaqiu. This old woman has a treat in store today."

Knowing Chuxue was sincere in giving them, she turned and shouted to the eldest branch’s youngest son, Qiu Shaohe: "Hurry and bring a basin over."

After saying this, she took Chuxue’s empty hand: "Just in time to taste Grandma’s cooking at noon."

Chuxue politely declined with a smile: "Great-Grandmother, I came today just to send a message to my sister so she wouldn't worry. The family is preparing to build a house, and I have to rush back to help, so I won't stay for lunch. I’ll definitely taste your cooking another day when I have time."
