Chapter 272: Fu's Mother's Worry

Fu's mother hurriedly rose to pour her son a cup of hot water: "Drink some water before you go."

She feared her son would get busy once he went out and forget to drink.

Fu Yan Cheng took the water, the corners of his mouth lifting slightly: "Thanks, Mom."

Fu's mother pouted playfully: "Why be so polite with your own mother?"

Fu Yan Cheng gulped down the water in a few swallows, raised his hand to look at the watch on his wrist: "I'm leaving."

Watching her son leave, she turned and stood by the window, staring until her son's figure disappeared at the factory gate, only then withdrawing her gaze.

The words she had just spoken to her son were indeed her true feelings; as long as the fourth son didn't find a troublemaker, that would be fine. After all, having the second son's wife in the house was already enough to make her suffer; if there were another one who was unreasonable and chaotic, she could forget about having any peaceful days from now on.

Fu Yan Cheng left the sugar factory and quickened his pace, his mind constantly thinking: Who exactly is causing trouble behind the scenes?

These past few days, apart from attending classes at school, Liu Chuxue had been busy making small snacks for her older sister. She had turned those fish into spicy dried small fish; fearing the flavor would be too single, she also made some soy-sauce-flavored dried fish in the space.

After setting aside some for the family, she put everything away, thinking that after the exams tomorrow, she would go to the North Suburb Farm.

As soon as Chunxiao returned, she smelled the fish aroma: "Second Sister, did the dried fish turn out?"

Liu Chuxue pointed to the stove: "Set some aside for Dad, Mom, and the others."

Chunxiao hurriedly put down the basket on her back and reached out to take some.

Liu Chuxue directly grabbed her by the back of the collar: "Go wash your hands; it's so unhygienic."

Forced by Liu Chuxue's tyranny, Chunxiao had to go draw water and wash her hands first, moving with incredible speed.

After the small dried fish entered her mouth: "Second Sister, it's really delicious; Big Sister will definitely like it."

After swallowing a few pieces of dried fish: "Second Sister, when we have the holiday, let's go catch more fish and bring them back; you make more for me."

Liu Chuxue rolled her eyes at her: "Wait until Mom comes back; tell her. If she agrees, then come find me."

Only after eating full for a few days did she forget the hardships of life. Making dried fish requires oil as the most important ingredient besides seasonings; making even more? She really dares to say that.

After putting things away, she looked at her younger sister who was eating happily: "Chunxiao, leave some for Dad, Mom, and the others to taste; you go to the private plot to pick some vegetables."

Chunxiao made an "Mm" sound: "Got it."

Although she acknowledged it, Liu Chuxue had already steamed the two-grain rice and still didn't see her move: "Didn't you hear what I said?"

Chunxiao sensed her second sister's displeasure and finally stood up with a sheepish smile: "I'm going right now; it's just that your dried fish is too delicious."

Liu Chuxue looked into the bowl; two-thirds of it was already gone.

Her expression naturally became even more serious: "You're not a child anymore; how can you still eat Dad and Mom's portion?"

Chunxiao said with a somewhat playful smile: "Dad and Mom surely won't blame me; besides, I'm the youngest in our family; what's wrong with eating a bit more?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Liu's mother also returned from work: "What are you talking about?"

Chunxiao ran over: "My second sister made snacks for Big Sister; I ate a bit more, and my second sister got unhappy."

Hearing her say this, Liu Chuxue's face immediately darkened: "Liu Chunxiao, I didn't expect you to play tricks on the family just for a mouthful of food; you really are something."

Liu's mother knew her children too well; one look told her that Chunxiao surely wasn't telling the truth: "What exactly happened?"

Liu Chuxue stared straight at Chunxiao: "You say it. If you dare to leave out a single word or twist my words, don't ever expect to eat anything I make again."

Chunxiao didn't expect her second sister to take it so seriously: "Mom, look at Second Sister."
