Chapter 321: Why Did You Come Back at This Time?

What they hadn't expected was that in the mid-afternoon, Liu Chuxue came over again, this time bringing directly thirteen fish, each weighing about one and a half jin.

This shocked the Qiu family greatly: "Liu Chuxue, where did you get so many fish?"

Liu Chuxue smiled: "I originally wanted to try my luck, see if I could get a few fish for my sister to nourish her body, but I didn't expect my luck to be good and I caught quite a few more.

My father thought you were holding a celebration, and these fish could add a dish, so he sent me here without stopping."

The smiles on the Qiu family's faces never faded, but they also understood that the fish were sent for their own daughter: "You've taken so much trouble, in-laws. These fish are sent at just the right time; they make up exactly eight dishes. Tomorrow, when you come, I must drink a few extra cups with you."

Liu Chuxue nodded upon hearing this: "Alright, I will definitely pass on the message."

Actually, it wasn't arranged by Liu Chuxue's father; it was just an excuse she made up. Anyway, catching fish was as easy as pie for her. With these favors, when she brought a small clay stove for her own sister to cook a private meal in a few days, they probably wouldn't mind, right?

After delivering the goods, she didn't stay long; today's pig fodder hadn't been cut yet: "Since the goods are delivered, I'll be leaving now."

Qiu Mu's face was all smiles, and she walked the person out for quite a distance: "Tomorrow you must come early; let your parents come over too so they can spend more time with your sister."

"Alright, go back, I'm leaving right now."

As soon as Liu Chuxue left, neighbors from left and right surrounded the Qiu house: "Oh my, Qiu Shaofeng's mother, your in-laws are truly honest. This gift is truly substantial, and it really hit the spot for you."

Qiu Mu's face naturally glowed with pride at this moment: "This is different from when we first split the household; the in-laws know our foundation is thin and want to help us out. To put it plainly, they also feel sorry for their own daughter. Don't you think that's the truth?"

"You've spoken the truth there."

"Alright, I must go get busy; everyone come early tomorrow to sit at the banquet."

When Qiu Tai Nai heard the news and returned from outside, Liu Chuxue had already left. Seeing the chef processing those fish, she pulled her second daughter-in-law aside: "Qiu Shaofeng's in-laws' days have finally picked up. They did this; you must keep this in mind."

"Grandma, rest assured, from now on I will definitely treat Xia Qiu well."

"Treating Xia Qiu well is simply what should be done. I guess they sent these fish over for two reasons: first, they truly wanted to help you out; second, they are probably paving the way for future dealings."

"Paving the way? Paving what way?"

"Xia Qiu's parents are people who dote on their children; you must have noticed. Ever since Xia Qiu's natal family split the household, her eldest sister has come over several times, and every time she didn't come empty-handed..."

Qiu Tai Nai hadn't finished speaking when Qiu Mu said: "Grandma, I know what you're going to say. Rest assured, my mind is very clear; I won't look for trouble unnecessarily."

"As long as you understand my meaning. After all, no family's days are easy. When they subsidize their daughter, it's because they dote on her; we mustn't be greedy."

On the other side, Ding Surong, holding the introduction letter, took the earliest bus back to the city and went directly to her own father's workplace.

Seeing her own daughter appear, Ding Youwen was momentarily stunned: "Ding Surong, why have you come back?"

"Dad, I have something to ask of you."

There were other people in the office, so speaking naturally wasn't convenient.

He stood up, greeted the others, then took Ding Surong out of the office. Once downstairs and in a spot, he finally asked: "What happened? Why did you come back at this time?"
