Chapter 1522: She Must Have Suffered Quite a Bit

~4 min read 717 words

Xiao Guo soon sent Fu's mother back to the ward.

Fu Yan Cheng handed him the enamel mug from the basket: "Take this enamel mug of chicken soup to Qiao Yunhai."

No need to state the reason; Xiao Guo naturally understood: "Got it, Qiao Yunhai is in for a treat."

Aunt Qiao hadn't expected the deputy regiment commander and his wife to send chicken soup via Xiao Guo: "Oh my, how could we accept this? The deputy regiment commander and his wife are too polite."

Xiao Guo entered the ward and greeted Qiao Yunhai: "Aunt Qiao, please accept it; this is our deputy regiment commander and his wife's gesture of goodwill."

Qiao Yunhai knew Fu Yan Cheng's nature: "Mom, since Deputy Regiment Commander Fu sent it, let's accept it."

After Xiao Guo left, Aunt Qiao smiled: "Your Deputy Regiment Commander Fu and his wife are truly proper people. Drink while it's hot; it smells fragrant and must taste good."

Seeing there was plenty of chicken soup, Qiao Yunhai said: "Mom, bring another lunch box; I'll share some with you."

Aunt Qiao quickly waved her hand: "Mom doesn't like drinking it. You drink quickly so you can recover your health sooner."

Qiao Yunhai, however, grew stubborn: "If you don't drink, then I won't either. You've had internal heat these past few days; if you collapse from exhaustion, what will I do?"

How could Aunt Qiao not know her son was worrying about her old bones? Her heart was touched: "Mom will drink, Mom will drink, okay?"

When Xiao Guo returned with the now-empty enamel mug, he heard Fu Yan Cheng say: "Auntie Wei, once the meal is ready, just let Xiao Guo go back to Yunqu; you don't need to run over here."

Auntie Wei nodded with a smile: "Alright, then it's trouble for Xiao Guo. I'll make something delicious for you tonight."

Xiao Guo's face was full of smiles: "Auntie Wei, then I'll be waiting."

Liu Chuxue was awakened by the fragrance of the chicken soup: "So fragrant."

Fu Yan Cheng's voice sounded: "You're awake. Wake up properly; I'll help you sit up and drink some chicken soup."

Hearing 'chicken soup', Liu Chuxue swallowed her saliva: "I really am hungry."

Fu's mother was holding the eldest: "Da Fu, look, Mommy is awake. After drinking the chicken soup in a moment, she might start producing breast milk; our food supply will soon be secured."

Speaking of this, Fu's mother smiled: "Just now outside, I met a fellow villager. She seemed quite familiar with Xiao Guo. Knowing our family has added a new member, she voluntarily said she has chickens and eggs at home, and that if we need them, she'd let Xiao Guo go over to exchange for them."

Seeing his mother so excited, Fu Yan Cheng exchanged a glance with Liu Chuxue, and both of them laughed.

Actually, they had arranged it with someone long ago, but seeing Fu's mother happy, they didn't mention it; they had to let her feel a sense of accomplishment, didn't they?

Fu Yan Cheng helped her sit up and insisted on feeding her himself, making Liu Chuxue feel somewhat embarrassed: "I can do it myself."

Fu Yan Cheng, however, disagreed: "Your body is still weak right now; I will feed you."

Fu's mother laughed. Fearing her daughter-in-law might feel embarrassed, she quickly turned around while holding her grandson: "Da Fu, Grandma's good grandson, why are you so good-looking?"

Yet this warm scene didn't last long; it was broken by the noise outside: "What right do you have to cry? You went in early this morning, and only now have you given birth, and you've given birth to a money-losing girl. How useless are you?"

Fu Yan Cheng stood up and shut the door tightly.

He had figured it out; this was the family that had been waiting outside the delivery room earlier.

Liu Chuxue looked at his action and asked him with her eyes what was happening.

Seeing that Er Bao and San Wang on the bed were unaffected, Fu Yan Cheng explained to Liu Chuxue: "That family belongs to the woman who was in the same delivery room as you."

Liu Chuxue glanced toward the door: "To have given birth for so long, she must have suffered quite a bit."
