Chapter 1363: You Think Everyone Is Like You, Constantly Showing Off to People

Seeing her still holding her daughter, she smiled and said, "Our Yu Rong has come over too."

Tao Yurong regained her usual liveliness: "Auntie, Mom and I came to deliver the sour pickles."

Chuxue pinched the little girl's cheek: "Then Auntie thanks Yu Rong."

The little one hurriedly waved her hands and said, "I didn't make them; you should thank my Mom."

As soon as she finished speaking, Tao Saozi laughed, "After falling ill, she talks much more than before, just like a little chatterbox."

Chuxue had the two sit under the osmanthus tree in the courtyard, went into the kitchen, brought out a few pieces of peach crisp, and handed one to each of the mother and daughter.

Tao Saozi waved her hand and said, "Don't bother yourself; I just heard you've had morning sickness these past few days. I happened to pickle some a while back, and they're ready to eat now, so I brought some over for you."

Seeing her daughter staring longingly at the peach crisp, Tao Saozi said in a displeased tone, "Really such a little glutton."

Chuxue directly stuffed it into the little girl's hand: "Taste it; do you like it?"

The little girl spoke in a milky voice, "Mom gave me some before; it's delicious."

Tao Saozi couldn't stop her anymore, since her daughter's eyes were already glued to that peach crisp, so she could only say, "Hurry and thank Aunt Fu."

The little girl nodded like a pestle pounding garlic: "Thank you, Aunt Fu."

Her pronunciation was very clear; that cute look was utterly adorable, which Chuxue liked very much. She couldn't help but touch her abdomen, thinking: If this baby is a girl, that would be wonderful; I will definitely dress her up beautifully.

Tao Saozi glanced toward the outer gate, lowered her voice, and said, "By the way, let me give you a warning: Captain Cui's mother and those two rascals of hers have come over from diagonally opposite; you'd better pay attention from now on."

Just then, Fu Yan Cheng, who had been clearing bowls back to the kitchen, happened to come out and heard these words, so he couldn't help but speak up: "When did they arrive?"

Hearing the question, Tao Saozi's expression was somewhat hard to describe: "They arrived this morning, but before even entering the dependents' compound, someone reported them; the leaders are probably settling the lawsuit right now."

Chuxue became interested: "What's the situation?"

Tao Saozi perked up immediately: "Let me tell you, birds of a feather flock together; Captain Cui's mother is even more shrewish than Zhang Lianhua. Last Chinese New Year, she came with her grandson and made the dependents' compound a mess; everyone avoided them whenever they saw them."

Now Chuxue's mood soured; after all, Captain Cui lived diagonally opposite her own home. Even if he didn't come to provoke her family, she couldn't allow him to provoke others either; she'd have to watch a grand opera all day long, and her own household had one injured person and one pregnant woman.

Her worry was not unfounded; indeed, as dinner time approached, there was commotion from the Cui side: "Son, today your mother and Dabao and Erbao suffered terribly; this matter cannot simply be left like this."

Captain Cui's face looked very grim: "Mom, if it's not settled, what else do you want? Your son is just a small captain, while that man is a deputy regiment commander. Do you expect me to go trouble the deputy regiment commander?"

Upon hearing her son's words, the Cui old woman fell silent: "That woman is actually the deputy regiment commander's wife?"

Captain Cui's face grew even darker: "Do you think everyone is like you, constantly showing off to people?"

The Cui old woman felt she had lost face in front of her two grandsons: "Enough; we're hungry. Hurry and have your wife get us something to eat."

Zhang Lianhua, who had been playing the role of a quail, came out from the kitchen: "Mom, I'm cooking right now; it'll be ready soon. Just wait a bit longer."

The Cui old woman, having swallowed a bellyful of anger, finally found a vent: "You lazy thing; knowing full well that your mother-in-law and Dabao and Erbao were coming today, you still haven't finished cooking by now. What's this? Are you unwelcoming to me, this dead old woman, or are you unwelcoming to your own son?"
