Chapter 1192: Sister-in-law, You've Raised the Children So Well

Sister-in-law Guo Wenjing, seeing them deep in conversation, turned to her mother-in-law: "Mom, is there anything else that needs doing?"

Fu's mother finally remembered what she had been doing: "The fourth son bought ribs, so I mixed the filling. Let's finish wrapping the dumplings, then we'll just stir-fry a few dishes."

Seeing them heading toward the kitchen, Liu Chuxue chased after them: "I'll go help too."

Fu's mother turned around: "You've been away on business for a month and just sat on a train for a few days. Rest. Your sister-in-law will help me."

Whether her mother-in-law was sincere or just being polite, now that the family had split, it wouldn't do to sit and wait for food: "We're wrapping dumplings, and more hands will make it faster."

Seeing the several nephews and nieces playing in the yard, she called out: "Jinyue, Fourth Aunt brought you some delicious treats. Take your younger brothers and sisters inside so Fourth Uncle can get them for you."

The little ones heard Liu Chuxue's words, politely thanked her first, and then ran inside.

Fu Yan Cheng had naturally heard Liu Chuxue's words; by the time the little ones ran in, he had already brought the treats out: "Your Fourth Aunt brought pastries from the south and dried squid made by fishermen by the sea. Come, everyone try some."

Jinyue took the items and thanked him; Fu Fu Jincheng and Jin Yun behind her followed suit.

In the kitchen, the mother-in-law and daughters-in-law were chatting and laughing while wrapping dumplings. The little ones ran in, and Jinyue, the eldest sister, walked over to Liu Chuxue: "Fourth Aunt, the pastries and dried squid you brought back are delicious. Thank you."

Liu Chuxue didn't stop her hands: "I'm glad you like them."

Guo Wenjing smiled at the children: "Dinner will be ready soon. Just taste a little, don't fill your stomachs."

The little ones chorused in unison: "Understood."

While they were speaking, Jinyue fed a strip of dried squid to her grandmother: "Is it good?"

Fu's mother had never eaten this before: "Mm, this is actually quite tasty."

Liu Chuxue smiled: "The fishermen by the sea made this themselves. I traded for some so everyone could taste it."

At that moment, Fu Fu Jincheng also fed a small strip to his mother: "Mom, is it good?"

After tasting it, Guo Wenjing said: "Mm, salty and fresh with a hint of sweetness, a natural aftertaste. Quite delicious."

Just as they were chatting animatedly, they heard Zhang Yurong's voice: "Mom, we're back."

Fu Jinyi saw the food in his older brother's and sisters' hands: "I want some too."

Jinyue, showing the bearing of the eldest sister, directly handed over the strip of dried squid in her hand: "Here, try it. Fourth Aunt brought this back for us. You must thank Fourth Aunt."

Fu Fu Jincheng added: "Right, we must be polite children."

As soon as he said this, all the adults in the kitchen laughed.

Liu Chuxue looked at Guo Wenjing: "Sister-in-law, you've raised the children so well."

Zhang Yurong gently pushed her own daughter, who was putting food into her mouth: "Jinyi, go thank Fourth Aunt and your sister."

Jinyi was entirely focused on the food in his hands; pushed by Zhang Yurong, he nearly bumped his forehead on the table corner. Liu Chuxue, quick-eyed and quick-handed, reached out her hand, allowing Jinyi to avoid the mishap.

Fu's mother had naturally seen the whole thing. She glared at her third daughter-in-law, put down the small rolling pin in her hand, squatted down, and looked at her granddaughter: "Are you okay?"

Jinyi was startled, but didn't forget to put the food in his mouth: "No, Grandma, eat, it's good."

Saying this, she held up the strip of dried squid in her hand.

As she held it up, Liu Chuxue, standing very close, suddenly felt nauseous, covered her mouth, and ran out.

As she ran, the adults in the kitchen first exchanged glances, then suddenly realized something. Fu's mother and the eldest sister-in-law Guo Wenjing hurriedly chased after her.
