Chapter 918: Knowing Second Sister Didn't Care for Her, She Insisted on Bringing Trouble Upon Herself

After finishing her explanation, Liu Chuxue continued, "Tomorrow I'm returning to the village to visit my older sister. If Mom and Dad have anything to give her, please prepare it in advance; I'll leave early in the morning."

Xiao Fu actually wanted to go back too, but he truly had no time. The leader had said everyone would be on rotation during these New Year days, so he could only return when his leave started; there was definitely no time before the New Year: "Alright, it's good you're going back. Check the house, and have your mother prepare some things for your Grandpa the Village Head to take back."

Liu Chuxue agreed, then picked up her down jacket and prepared to return to her room.

Chunxiao's eyes had been glued to the jacket, full of envy; seeing Liu Chuxue leave, she said, "Second Sister is so stingy, she wouldn't even let me try it on."

Neither Xiao Fu nor Xiao Mu paid her any attention; this little daughter was becoming more and more difficult, and they didn't know who she had learned it from.

She knew perfectly well that Second Sister didn't care for her, yet she insisted on bringing trouble upon herself.

Seeing no one paid her any mind, she added another sentence: "Anyway, I'm on holiday too. Tomorrow I'll go back to the village with Second Sister; it's been a long time since I've seen Big Sister, so I'll go visit her as well."

Xiao Fu didn't refuse; after all, since he and his wife couldn't go back, it was good that their two daughters could go back on their behalf.

However, what she hadn't expected was that the next morning, Liu Chuxue got up very early, Xiao Fu left early for his morning shift, and Xiao Mu, busy with her tasks, forgot to tell Liu Chuxue that Chunxiao was also going back.

The things for Xia Qiu had been prepared in advance. Liu Chuxue wanted to catch the early bus: "Mom, I won't eat breakfast. I'll buy a bun at the station and eat it on the bus."

Xiao Mu was in the kitchen preparing breakfast; she didn't hear clearly, only catching the words "buy a bun," and thought Liu Chuxue was going out to buy buns.

By the time she came out with the porridge she had cooked, she saw the items placed outside were gone, and only then realized what Liu Chuxue had said earlier.

Looking at the little daughter's room, the door was still closed; she slapped her forehead and couldn't help but sigh: "Truly, pregnancy makes one foolish for three years; how could I have forgotten?"

The reason Liu Chuxue left so early was that with the New Year approaching, people in the city were heading home to celebrate in their hometowns one after another; the bus might depart as soon as it was full. If she arrived late, she might miss the earliest bus.

She had things to do today and couldn't come back late; it was better to return earlier.

Xiao Mu thought that since it was already late, she might as well not call Chunxiao.

By the time Chunxiao got up, the sun was already high in the sky: "Mom, where is Second Sister?"

Xiao Mu took the initiative immediately: "Look at what time it is; how could Second Sister wait for you forever?"

Chunxiao panicked: "Did Second Sister leave?"

Xiao Mu ignored her and went straight to do her own work.

Chunxiao stamped her feet in anger: "Why are you like this? I said I wanted to go back; why couldn't you just call me?"

Seeing Xiao Mu ignore her, she said, "I don't care. I'm going to the station to take the bus right now. Give me the money?"

How could Xiao Mu let her take the bus alone? "Enough. You didn't get up on time yourself; who is to blame?"

Seeing the lamb chops and beef and mutton placed in the corner, she immediately had an idea: "Today, run over to your Grandpa's place, take the beef, mutton, and lamb chops your Second Sister brought back and deliver them, and also see if your Grandpa and the others need any help."

Hearing these words, Chunxiao immediately stopped dwelling on the previous matter: "Alright then, I'll go to Grandpa's to deliver the things first."

No one knows a daughter better than her mother; she knew the little girl's thoughts best: "Come back early this afternoon. Tonight, the Fu family will discuss your Second Sister's wedding date with the family; make sure you're not late."
