Chapter 1617: Mom, Are You Afraid I'll Get Jealous?

~4 min read 748 words

Fu's mother knew her daughter was putting on a show: "Yes, with a grandson, everything is satisfied; you must step aside."

Fu Yanwan finished the last mouthful of chicken soup in her bowl: "Mom, Sister-in-law Si is still here; you're trying to stir up hatred against me."

Fu's mother didn't even lift her head: "You really overestimate yourself. Even if you stir up hatred, it's for Guoqing. Besides, your Sister-in-law Si won't be provoked by you."

Fu Yanwan pouted: "Mom, I'm your precious daughter; why do I feel like I'm losing favor?"

Fu's mother was amused by her daughter's expression: "What do you mean 'feel'? It's the truth, isn't it?"

Fu Yanwan looked at her husband, her face full of grievance.

Ren Jiangfeng rubbed the top of her head: "Mom has too many people to spoil; you have to understand."

After speaking, he lowered his head and leaned close to Xiao Wan's ear: "From now on, I'll spoil you. Spoil you exclusively."

Fu Yanwan had been joking, but she didn't expect Ren Jiangfeng to say such a thing. His warm breath blew onto her neck, and hearing such direct words, her face turned completely red.

At that moment, the eldest sister-in-law, Guo Wenjing, walked in carrying a thermal bucket: "How is Xiao Wan?"

Seeing Liu Chuxue was also there, she quickly greeted her: "You really came early."

Liu Chuxue stood up with a smile: "I took the early bus over. Since I didn't brew nourishing soup for Xiao Wan, I naturally came early."

Liu Chuxue looked at the thermal bucket Guo Wenjing was holding and teased with a smile: "Eldest Sister-in-law, what delicious food did you make for your younger sister-in-law?"

Fu Yanwan quickly waved her hands: "Thank you for your hard work, Eldest Sister-in-law, but I really can't eat anymore right now."

Seeing her hands waving so vigorously, everyone was amused.

Just now, to stop Fu's mother from nagging, she drank the chicken soup so fast; in that short while, she had already finished three bowls.

Guo Wenjing naturally saw the thermal bucket on the bedside table and thought her mother-in-law had forced her to drink a lot to help her produce milk for her son.

She said sympathetically: "Endure it for your son."

Then she looked at the soup in her hands: "Luckily, I brewed fish soup for you. Otherwise, drinking chicken soup twice a day would make you sick of it. This just came out of the pot, and the thermal bucket keeps heat well; it's perfect for lunch."

Fu's mother chimed in: "I think that works; it saves trouble at noon."

After speaking, she looked at her daughter: "I'll cook a bowl of noodles for you at noon and pour the fish soup your eldest sister-in-law stewed over it."

Guo Wenjing had to go on an outdoor duty today; after chatting for a few moments, she left in a hurry.

Liu Chuxue was preparing to go home with her mother-in-law: "Xiao Wan, I'll come over later to bring you food."

Seeing her daughter stop eating, Fu's mother handed the remaining chicken soup in the thermal bucket directly to Ren Jiangfeng and pointed at the bag on the bedside table: "There are flower rolls inside; eat them with this chicken soup."

After speaking, she looked at Liu Chuxue: "We left chicken soup at home; when we get back, we'll serve it for you to drink."

Hearing this, Liu Chuxue laughed directly: "Mom, are you afraid I'll get jealous?"

Fu's mother, having been directly exposed by her daughter-in-law, was reluctant to admit it: "Where? It just so happens we have some at home. You still need to nurse the child, so naturally, we can't shortchange your mouth."

Liu Chuxue smiled and put her arm around her mother-in-law's shoulder: "Mom, you're so cute."

Seeing her fourth daughter-in-law act this way, the corners of Fu's mother's mouth curved into a smile: "You mischievous little ghost, you only know how to tease me."

Liu Chuxue, however, deliberately didn't let up: "Mom, I won't get jealous of my younger sister-in-law, but if you favor the sister-in-law, I will definitely get jealous."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone laughed.

They knew she was joking, but it also served as a reminder to Fu's mother, thinking that from now on she must keep the bowl of water level; even if she couldn't keep it perfectly level, it had to be about the same, to avoid family discord in the future.
