Chapter 1186: Eldest Sister, Did You Eat Gunpowder?

Thinking that Fu Yan Cheng told her his own mother had given birth to a boy was actually within expectations; after all, having a boy or a girl is a fifty-fifty chance, with a fifty percent probability of a boy, which also fulfilled the original owner's family's wish.

The whole family had previously attributed all their misfortunes to not having a son in the house, which was why they suffered unfair treatment and were looked down upon.

Now their wish was granted; she no longer owed the original owner's family anything. If they got along well in the future, so be it; if not, they could just be ordinary relatives.

After all, she had already vaguely sensed a change in Xiao Mu's mindset; though not stated outright, the implication was that if she managed to give birth to a boy, the three sisters must treat the younger brother well, as he would be their future pillar of support.

When Liu Chuxue first heard these words, she didn't take them to heart, thinking only that Xiao Mu, filled with hope, was merely speaking according to the prevailing notions of the time.

But after seeing her pull this same act every time they met, Liu Chuxue found it somewhat amusing; even if she truly had a son, she was already married and not using contraception; if she and Fu Yan Cheng had no health issues, they should have children very soon, and she didn't feel that with her own abilities, she would need her younger brother's backing.

Even as the eldest native sister, her own son would be older than this little uncle; by the time this younger brother could offer support, her own son would be able to as well; as for the youngest, Liu Chunxiao, who was already thirteen this year, by the time he could support this third sister, it would likely be a long wait.

In reality, Xiao Mu was intentionally or unintentionally painting a big pie for her three daughters.

She had just agreed to it, but she only heard it as such.

But then again, if this little brother turned out to be capable, helping him out in the future wouldn't be impossible, but becoming a "brother-supporting demon" was out of the question.

Just as she was thinking these thoughts, Fu Yan Cheng pecked her face: "What are you thinking about?"

Liu Chuxue shifted closer into his embrace: "I'm thinking whether my parents' attitude toward us three sisters will change now that they have a son."

Hearing this, Fu Yan Cheng laughed: "Regardless of whether their attitude changes, you have me."

Liu Chuxue rolled her eyes at him: "You really know how to follow a snake up a stick; is that what I meant?"

Fu Yan Cheng directly replied: "Regardless of what you mean, I am the husband who follows the wife's lead."

On the other side, Xiao Mu was also murmuring about Liu Chuxue: "Xia Qiu, did you say Liu Chuxue is coming back today?"

Xia Qiu nodded, taking the bowl she had finished eating from her: "That's what the brother-in-law said."

Xiao Mu glanced out the window: "It's this late; she must have already returned."

Xia Qiu glanced at her but didn't respond.

Liu Chunxiao, who had just returned from school, chimed in: "Now there should be fish to eat in the house, right? If Mom doesn't eat some good food to recover, this little brother's rations might not be guaranteed."

Hearing Liu Chunxiao's matter-of-fact words, Xia Qiu asked: "What do you mean by that?"

Liu Chunxiao casually replied: "My second sister is the best at fishing; during the time she was away, the family hasn't eaten fish in a long while. Now that we have a younger brother, she will definitely send fish as soon as she hears the news; by then, Shi Tou will remember her kindness."

Xia Qiu took the bowl and walked toward the door: "You are also an older sister; the younger brother has been born for several days, why don't you try to get a fish for Mom to recover, so that the little brother can remember your kindness when he grows up?"

Liu Chunxiao looked at Xia Qiu, who was about to walk out the door: "How old am I? Besides, I don't know how to fish; where would I get a fish? Moreover, the capable do more work; with my second sister here, why should I bother? Anyway, my second sister will return eventually."

After speaking, she thought of something: "By the way, eldest sister, there is only one chicken left in the yard; send a message to your husband to send a few more, otherwise Mom won't be able to keep up."

Hearing this, Xia Qiu felt anger rise in her heart; she turned to look at the person lying there teasing the little brother: "What should the third sister do? Just wait to get Mom's confinement meals at every meal? Clearly, one chicken could be stewed twice for Mom, yet you insisted on studying hard and using your brain, needing nourishment yourself, and now you tell me the chicken is gone?"

"If the chicken is gone, figure it out yourself; don't just grow a mouth and chatter away."

Liu Chunxiao frowned, looking at Xia Qiu at the door: "Eldest sister, did you eat gunpowder? How old am I? Isn't it normal to eat some with Mom?"
