Chapter 1584: What, does she still want to interfere in your marriage?

~4 min read 750 words

Finally, Liu Chuxue could only sit on the mat in the courtyard and then held all the children in her arms.

The children finally quieted down.

Little Shi Tou was satisfied, and with Xiao Mu holding a steamed egg custard, Little Shi Tou stopped fussing and kept saying: "Eat, eat, eat."

This time, Xiao Mu was not biased; she not only steamed egg custard for her son but also steamed some for her grandchildren.

She had previously heard Liu Chuxue say that after four months, they would add egg yolks, so she steamed egg yolks for the triplets.

The nephews and uncle all ate with great delight.

This time, the Xiao family was very harmonious.

They had agreed that tomorrow Fu Yan Cheng and Qiu Shaofeng would stay home to watch the children, while Xia Qiu and Liu Chuxue would accompany Du Juan to buy dowry items.

Fortunately, the Xiao family had enough rooms, so even if everyone returned, there would be space for all.

After the children fell asleep, Du Juan recounted how her own mother had blocked her today.

Hearing this, Xiao Mu was furious: "What, does she still want to interfere in your marriage? She really thinks too highly of herself."

Xia Qiu tugged her mother's arm; no matter what, that woman was Du Juan's own mother, and even if she was so bad, she shouldn't speak without restraint: "Mom, say less; Du Juan has already refused her."

Xiao Mu slapped Xia Qiu's hand away: "If she had even a shred of goodness toward Du Juan, I wouldn't be speaking about her this way."

After speaking, she looked at Du Juan: "If your mother truly cared for you, I certainly wouldn't oppose her getting close to you, but you saw it yourself; she came to you today, clearly intending to scheme against you.

You are grown now and about to get married; you must keep this clearly in mind."

Du Juan knew her aunt meant well for her and nodded: "Aunt, rest assured, I won't fall for her tricks again; you and my uncle are my real family."

Because of today's incident, Xiao Mu tossed and turned, unable to sleep during the first half of the night.

Xiao Fu naturally knew what she was thinking: "Are you flipping pancakes? Do you want to let anyone sleep? Don't think about it; one gets married only once in a lifetime; let's just consider it as gaining an extra daughter."

"I know what you are worried about; Shi Tou is still young, so we will slowly save up for him; as for the daughters, when Chunxiao gets married, we will also convert money for Xia Qiu and Liu Chuxue to make up a share."

What he didn't say was that even if he lacked ability, hadn't the old man previously allocated a share to them, so how could the son be left short?

It was just that since giving birth to a son, his own wife had truly become more stingy.

After a deep breath, Xiao Mu said: "Fine, then let it be so; I just want to show Jiang Suqing that I, as an aunt, am better than her as a biological mother; after I pass away and meet my brother, I can stand tall."

Speaking of this, she thought of their escape during childhood, and her eyes filled with tears.

Seeing this situation, Xiao Fu quickly pulled her into his embrace: "Enough, stop crying; we have already passed the hardest times; from now on, it will all be good days."

Early the next morning, Xiao Mu's eyes were still somewhat swollen; afraid the children would notice, she kept her head down while working and kept urging them: "Hurry and eat, go out early, so you don't arrive late and fail to get what you like."

The sisters exchanged glances but didn't expose her.

After eating and settling the children, they all went out together.

Originally, Fu Yan Cheng wanted Liu Chuxue to drive, but Liu Chuxue refused; she didn't want to cause trouble for Fu Yan Cheng.

After the reform and opening up, when they earned money, they could buy a car and drive freely.

They went out early; when they arrived at the Department Store Building, it had just opened; today was not a weekend, so there were many people but not as crowded as on weekends.

Just as they were preparing to go all out, they heard someone shout from behind: "Zhao Dujuan, stop right there."
