Chapter 610: Truly Remembering the Food but Forgetting the Beating

Xia Qiu looked at the items filling the table and couldn't help but sigh: "I, as the older sister, am actually the one being looked after by Chuxue, the younger sister. Truly..."

Thinking of the days before the family split, she suddenly found herself unable to continue: "Shaofeng, once we have the ability in the future, we must repay Chuxue properly."

Qiu Shaofeng nodded heavily: "That is exactly what I think. In the future, if Chuxue ever needs me, I will unhesitatingly do my duty."

Hearing these words, Xia Qiu felt somewhat better. She picked up the fine cotton cloth with floral patterns: "The color of this fine cotton is truly rare; it is perfect for making clothes and swaddling cloths for the baby. I never expected Chuxue to be so thoughtful, even considering these things."

As the two were tidying up inside the room, they heard the voice of Second Cousin-in-law Zhang Shanmei coming from the yard: "Xiao Jing, your sister-in-law got so many good things, yet she didn't say she'd share any with you?"

Hearing this, An Xiao Jing couldn't help but frown. She envied the eldest sister-in-law, but she wouldn't do something so shameless. For Second Cousin-in-law to come to her doorstep and say such things was truly irritating: "Second Cousin-in-law, the things you brought back from your maiden home, I haven't seen you share any with the Eldest Cousin-in-law. Now you come to me to stir up trouble; what is your purpose?

Could it be that you want me to make a scene so you can take the opportunity to get a share?"

Her voice was no lower than Zhang Shanmei's just now, so naturally, everyone in the various rooms heard it.

Qiu Tai Nai took a deep breath inside the room: "Truly, remembering the food but forgetting the beating."

Zhang Shanmei hadn't expected the wife of Shaocheng, who usually smiled three parts of the way when meeting people, to speak so harshly: "How are you speaking?"

"Of course, I am learning from you, Second Cousin-in-law. You harbored dirty thoughts yourself and still came to stir up trouble here. What do you want to do?"

That last phrase, "What do you want to do?", was raised by several decibels.

Qiu Shaocheng, who had originally wanted to rest for a while, quickly slipped into his shoes and rushed out: "Xiao Jing, you are pregnant; you cannot get angry."

Speaking thus, he cast a gloomy glance at Second Cousin-in-law, who was standing there with arms crossed, still wanting to continue speaking.

Looking up, he shouted toward the direction of the Eldest Branch: "Eldest Uncle, Eldest Aunt, did you truly not hear, or are you pretending to be deaf and mute? Can't we have peace even after the family has split?"

Hearing her nephew's words, Qiu Eldest Uncle's wife's face turned directly into a color palette: "Second Brother's wife, get back here immediately. Can't you die without causing trouble every single day?"

After speaking, she walked to the door and shouted toward the Second Son's room: "Shaohu, get that shameless person back into the room immediately."

Qiu Shaohu also felt ashamed. He stepped out a few paces and dragged the person back into the room.

However, as soon as the door closed, Zhang Shanmei's scream came through: "Qiu Shaohu, you coward, you dare hit me? I'll fight you to the death!"

In an instant, chaos erupted inside the room, scaring Qiu Dabao, who was playing on the kang, into crying. As soon as he cried, Qiu Xiaoya, who was only a few months old on the kang, started crying as well.

Qiu Eldest Uncle's wife could only rush quickly into the room: "What sin have I committed? Stop it immediately! Look how you've scared the children."

Speaking thus, she quickly pulled her granddaughter into her arms: "Xiaoya, don't cry. It's okay, it's okay. Grandma will pat your head; you won't be scared."

While coaxing her granddaughter, she didn't forget to reach out and pull Qiu Dabao, who was still crying, to her side: "It's okay, Dabao. Come, go down from the kang to Grandma's room; Grandma will get candy for you to eat."

A three-year-old child, upon hearing "candy," gradually stopped crying, though he still sobbed intermittently. This broke Qiu Eldest Aunt's heart: "Lai Feng, hurry over and lend a hand."

She truly lacked the strength to hold two children at once, so she had to ask her husband for help.
