Chapter 250: As Long As They Do Not Change Their Original Intentions, I Will Certainly Take Extra Care Of Them

~4 min read 736 words

Seeing her youngest daughter leave, Liu's mother turned to her eldest daughter and son-in-law, who were still standing there, and said, "Don't just stand there; eat quickly. Your father will see you off later."

Just as Xia Qiu was about to speak, Liu Chuxue spoke first: "Our family has been conspicuous enough lately; we must keep a low profile from now on. If Chunxiao takes white flour buns out, people will surely talk."

Xia Qiu thought it made sense; yesterday's housewarming meal had been three-grain buns. If Chunxiao went out with white flour buns today, no one knew what rumors would spread: "You really thought of everything."

Liu's mother served them porridge: "Chuxue, there isn't much left to do at home. The exams are in a few days; you can't delay any longer."

Liu Chuxue nodded: "Mm, I'll return to school tomorrow."

Liu's father spoke up instead: "Don't wait until tomorrow. Go today."

Liu Chuxue had just taken a sip of porridge: "But aren't we supposed to deliver gratitude gifts to those families today?"

Liu's father waved his hand: "Your mother and I will go. You can't delay any longer. I've already asked; your graduation exams are in another week. You can't delay any longer."

Liu Chuxue hadn't planned to go today: "Father, if I go to the village primary school now, I'll be late. If I go to the commune, I'll miss an entire class. Better not go. Don't worry; after I help you deliver the gratitude gifts, I'll study hard. One day won't matter."

Seeing her say so, Liu's father replied: "Fine. As long as you know what you're doing."

After the meal, Liu Chuxue went to her room and brought out two bottles of honey: "Sister, these two bottles of honey were gifts I received earlier. Take them back. Drink some occasionally; it can boost immunity."

Xia Qiu didn't quite understand what her sister meant by "immunity," but she knew honey was good: "I'll just take one bottle. Leave a cup for you all to drink."

Liu Chuxue pushed the honey down slightly: "There are still a few beehives on the mountain. When I have time later, I'll go cut them down. Take both cups. Give one to your mother-in-law's grandmother and grandfather so they can drink some too."

Hearing this, Xia Qiu understood why Liu Chuxue had done this and suddenly her eyes reddened: "I'm your older sister, yet you're worrying about me first."

Liu's mother now understood her second daughter's intention and added: "Since your sister prepared this for you, take it back."

Liu Chuxue looked at Qiu Shaofeng: "Giving to your mother-in-law's grandmother and grandfather is because they treated you well. Besides, if you don't send a share, how can you, a junior, enjoy the good things alone?"

Before the family split, if there were truly such good things, how could they have reached her? Moreover, with her grandparents controlling the household, even if her parents and younger siblings wanted to help her, it would have been impossible.

Xia Qiu felt that her current self was truly too happy and her eyes reddened again.

Liu Chuxue felt that her sister Xia Qiu had inherited part of Liu's mother's genes; this habit of getting red-eyed at the slightest thing was definitely inherited from Liu's mother.

Qiu Shaofeng hurried forward: "Enough. You're carrying a baby now. Once our days improve, we'll treat your parents and younger sisters well."

In her past life, after a series of disasters struck the family, the Qiu family treated Xia Qiu poorly. It was only because her brother-in-law protected her and openly clashed with the family to split the household that she could live a bit better.

However, at that time, the Qiu family's great-grandmother was already paralyzed on the kang and could no longer manage affairs.

Back then, the Qiu family had not yet split. Household control had fallen into the hands of the eldest branch. The second branch had considered splitting, but they were suppressed by appeals to filial piety and had to wait until the Qiu family's great-grandmother and grandfather passed away before finally splitting.

In her past life, because of the original owner, the entire family met a bad end. In this life, she would treat it as repaying the debt for the original owner.

As long as they do not change their original intentions, I will certainly take extra care of them.
