Chapter 252: It was supposed to be a good thing; who would have thought it would turn out this way

After the two entered the room, Qiu Shaofeng spoke: "Wife, the ride here was terribly bumpy; why don't you rest at home for half the morning?"

Xia Qiu hurriedly waved her hands: "No, no, no, we haven't gone to work for two days already; if I rest today again, others will have objections."

She urged aloud: "Hurry and change your clothes; we'll be going to work soon."

Saying this, she took the work clothes and changed, retrieved the work shoes from under the bed, and rummaged through the backpack: "Oh, I didn't see it before; why did Mom pack so many things?"

Qiu Shaofeng joked: "Isn't it because she's afraid you and the baby will go hungry?"

She said this while placing the sugar-filled buns, flower rolls, two bottles of mushroom meat sauce, one bottle of honey, and over a dozen small cucumbers washed by Liu Chuxue's mother from the backpack into the cabinet, then locked it.

She put the remaining bottle of honey on the table: "Are you ready? Take this bottle of honey to Great-Grandma."

Qiu Shaofeng pulled on his shoes, and the two left the room together.

Qiu Tai Nai had just released the chickens from their coop; seeing them come out, she said: "There's still porridge in the pot; do you want a bowl?"

Qiu Shaofeng replied with a smile: "My mother-in-law got up early to cook; we've already eaten and come back."

Xia Qiu handed over the honey in her hand: "My sister Liu Chuxue found it in the mountains; she asked me to bring it back to honor Great-Grandma and Grandpa. She said drinking honey water can boost immunity; anyway, it's good for the body."

Qiu Tai Jie's face was full of smiles: "Oh my, she still remembers us; truly, that girl has taken so much trouble."

Zhang Shanmei, who had just put down her bowl, turned her head and saw the jar in Qiu Tai Nai's hand: "What a coincidence; my sleep hasn't been very good these past few days, and Dr. Chu at the health station said that if conditions allow, I should drink some honey water."

As soon as she said this, silence fell over the scene.

Xia Qiu remained silent; her sister had told her much before: if Great-Grandma gave the things she honored her with to Second Sister-in-law this time, she would never bring out even a single thing again.

Qiu Shaofeng's expression was also unpleasant; this was something his sister-in-law had worked hard to obtain; the fact that she brought an extra bottle for his wife to give to elders was for his wife's sake; if this were given to Second Sister-in-law, his sister-in-law would probably never go to such trouble again.

Qiu Tai Nai was not a rigid person; she glanced at the honey in her hand: "This is something Xia Qiu's younger sister from her natal family honored me and your Grandpa with; if you want to drink honey water, ask your man to find honey for you."

At this moment, Qiu's eldest uncle's wife spoke somewhat displeased: "Grandma, it's just a little honey; it's not a big deal; making a cup for her to drink shouldn't matter; we're all family, why be so calculating?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Xia Qiu's face changed directly; was this about her?

Qiu Mu heard these words and became indignant: "What does eldest sister-in-law mean by these words? What do you mean by 'why be so calculating'? Who are you talking about? Is it my daughter-in-law, my son, or Grandma?"

Qiu's eldest uncle's wife also knew her words had gone too far; she coughed lightly and was about to speak when she heard Zhang Shanmei say: "Naturally, I'm talking about the younger sister-in-law's natal family; knowing there's a pregnant woman in the house, she didn't think to bring a bottle for me either?"

These words directly made even Xia Qiu, who had such a good temper, angry: "So, Second Sister-in-law's natal family used to often bring things for Eldest Sister-in-law; truly generous."

Qiu's eldest grandson's wife, Wang Lihua, became indignant at this: "I don't admit to that; Second Younger Sister-in-law has been married into the family for so many years; I've never seen anything from her natal family; don't try to gild your own lily."

It was supposed to be a good thing; who would have thought it would turn out this way.
