Chapter 1715: Why Are You Helping an Outsider Bully Me?

Song Sanrui rode a tricycle, pulling Wei Wenbin and the triplets.

Liu Chuxue rode a bicycle, placing the small cakes to be taken over into the front basket, said goodbye to Aunt Wei and Gu Xiaomi, and was about to leave.

At that moment, the tethered Zhui Feng barked; looking at his posture, it was clear he meant, "I want to go too."

Liu Chuxue waved at him, saying, "Not today. Jinyi is sick. If you go over and scare him, that would be bad. Stay here and watch the house."

Hearing "watch the house," Zhui Feng did not insist further.

Liu Chuxue smiled and patted his head: "Tomorrow, I'll give you a piece of the triplets' birthday cake."

Hearing there was food, Zhui Feng's eyes rolled around, his little head clearly thinking of something again.

When they arrived, several relatives from Zhang Yurong's natal family had just learned of the situation and come over to see the child.

Seeing Liu Chuxue bring the triplets in, they all stepped forward, eager to interact with the three little ones.

Just then, a woman glanced coldly at Liu Chuxue and said, "Yurong, is this your fourth sister-in-law?"

Zhang Yurong nodded lightly: "Yes."

Liu Chuxue sensed the unfriendly look in the speaker's eyes; she merely nodded at her, offered no reply, and instead turned to the worried-faced Zhang Yurong: "Third sister-in-law, how is Jinyi today?"

Zhang Yurong turned to look at her sleeping daughter: "Last night she raved for most of the night. This morning, for some reason, she stuck to me and wouldn't let me out of her sight for a moment."

Liu Chuxue, now a mother herself, felt her heart ache seeing the child like this: "Third sister-in-law, I made a small cake for Jinyi. Please keep it for now; when she wakes up, see if she wants to eat it."

Saying this, she handed over the item in her hands.

Turning, she instructed the triplets: "Grandma is resting. Keep your voices low, do not make a fuss. Do you remember?"

The three little ones nodded heavily: "Okay."

Zhang Yurong did not expect her fourth sister-in-law to make a special trip in such cold weather: "You've taken so much trouble. I'll thank you on her behalf."

No sooner had she finished speaking than that woman said, "Your own fourth aunt is just showing a bit of goodwill to the child. Why thank her? Isn't that what she should do?"

Zhang Yurong quickly smoothed things over: "Fourth sister-in-law, my aunt doesn't know how to speak properly. Please don't be angry."

Seeing her own niece undermine her, that woman immediately said in displeasure: "Yurong, why are you helping an outsider bully me?"

Zhang Yurong, already extremely annoyed, said: "Aunt, Jinyi is stable now. I appreciate your goodwill, but with the New Year approaching, every household has many matters. I won't keep you."

Hearing Zhang Yurong's words, the others who came with them also felt it made sense; after playing with the triplets for a while, they stood up to take their leave.

But just then, that same woman spoke again: "Jinyi's fourth aunt, how much food can such a tiny box hold? Regardless, you are the child's aunt. This is far too perfunctory."

At this, Liu Chuxue was truly displeased: "Auntie, we don't seem to know each other. Why do you keep picking a fight?"

"Hey, how do you speak? I'm talking to you nicely, and you call it picking a fight?"

Liu Chuxue's face grew cold; she pointed at the cake: "I made this myself this afternoon, using only the finest ingredients. I won't even mention how precious the ingredients are, but do you know how much time and effort it takes to make this cake?"

Having finished, she took the cake from Zhang Yurong's hands, removed the homemade box directly, and said: "Since you want to see, look closely."

At that moment, another woman who came with them said: "Oh, this little cake is made so well; the little tiger on top looks just like the real thing."

Seeing only praise, the woman who had been picking a fight earlier wore an expression of resentment: "What a fox spirit."
