Chapter 1218: Are You Afraid I'll Suffer Grievances?

As Fu Yan Cheng led Liu Chuxue back to the courtyard, she glanced at Zhang Lianhua, who stood with lowered eyes and a submissive air beside Captain Cui.

Once inside their own gate, Fu Yan Cheng whispered a reminder: "Captain Cui lives diagonally across from us; his wife is fond of taking small advantages."

Hearing this, Liu Chuxue understood immediately: "So that's why you gave her no face?"

Fu Yan Cheng helped her into the room: "I'm a bit uneasy leaving you alone at home; that woman has no shame."

Hearing him say this, Liu Chuxue smiled instead: "Are you afraid I'll suffer grievances?"

Fu Yan Cheng went to pour a cup of warm water for her: "The sisters in the family compound come from all corners of the world, with all sorts of temperaments; if you get along, get along; if not, don't bow to anyone's face and wrong yourself."

Liu Chuxue nodded: "I understand. Regarding the banquet you mentioned, why not hold it in the next few days?"

Fu Yan Cheng looked at her belly: "Can your body handle it?"

Liu Chuxue laughed outright: "Didn't you say you bought ingredients and sent them to the canteen? It won't tire me out."

Fu Yan Cheng sat beside Liu Chuxue: "When Big Sister and Third Sister were pregnant before, they vomited until the sky and earth turned dark; I'm just afraid you might have morning sickness too."

Liu Chuxue raised her hand to touch her belly: "Except for that day when I couldn't stand the fishy smell, everything else is fine."

As the two were talking, a knocking sound came from outside.

Fu Yan Cheng stood up: "You sit; I'll go out and see."

Seeing the people standing outside the gate: "Why have you come over?"

Captain Su said with a grin: "We heard Sister-in-law arrived, so we came to take a look."

Deputy Captain Zhang, following behind Captain Su, added: "We're going to Instructor Guo's tonight anyway; in a while, my wife will come over to fetch Sister-in-law, so she'll have company."

Fu Yan Cheng didn't agree: "I'll take her over later; you all just go ahead."

Deputy Captain Zhang hadn't expected Battalion Commander Fu to be so attached to his wife: "Alright, then we'll head over first and see if there's anything we can help with."

Liu Chuxue came out of the room and greeted them.

After the two left, Fu Yan Cheng told her: "Deputy Captain Zhang's wife has a good temper; you can try to interact more with her; when we go over, I'll introduce you properly."

Liu Chuxue nodded: "It's getting late; let's not go too late."

Fu Yan Cheng thought Liu Chuxue made sense: "Alright, then let's get ready and head over now."

As soon as Xia Qiu arrived home, she was told Great-Grandmother was in bad shape.

She hugged her son and rushed toward Great-Grandmother's place; at the door, a neighbor who had come to help stopped her: "You go in; don't bring Junjun inside."

Xia Qiu naturally understood their kindness and handed the child over: "Trouble you, Auntie."

She entered the room and saw Great-Grandmother's eyes tightly shut; walking to Qiu Shaofeng standing at the back: "Shaofeng, wasn't Great-Grandmother fine just a few days ago?"

Qiu Shaofeng heard Xia Qiu's voice: "You've returned just in time; I was about to call you. Great-Grandmother fell the night before last; her spirit was very weak yesterday; this morning Grandpa came over and couldn't wake her."

As they were speaking, Qiu Shaomei rushed in hurriedly: "Mom, my second sister-in-law is about to give birth."

Qiu Mu heard this and immediately ran over: "Why add trouble at a time like this?"

Seeing the situation, Xia Qiu said: "You stay here to keep Grandpa and the others company; I'll go check on my younger sister-in-law to see if there's anything I can help with."

Qiu Shaofeng grabbed Xia Qiu, who was about to leave: "Where's the son?"
