Chapter 942: Thank You, Cousins, for Making the Special Trip

~5 min read 932 words

The three cousins did not linger and walked straight toward the backyard.

Liu Chuxue said as she walked: "Aunties and mothers-in-law, please carry on with your work; we'll go to the backyard first to see our little aunt."

After those aunts and mothers-in-law responded, they continued their work while chatting: "Having a capable mother is a good thing; a few days ago his nephew came to visit, yesterday his niece came, and today not only did those two come together, but another one joined them too. Look at this gathering; if the Qiu family causes trouble again, I'm afraid they won't care about Jinzhou's face anymore."

"Jinzhou was quite manly this time, unilaterally and firmly cutting ties with the family."

"He was just forced into it; if his parents had treated everyone equally from the start, how could these subsequent events have happened? Although it was the Wu family mother and daughter who acted against their conscience, their indulgence was not entirely unconnected."

"In an ordinary family, since the eldest son has no son but the second son does, the bias should be toward the second branch, but the Qiu couple did the opposite; they just wanted the youngest son to support the eldest son's family, which caused so many problems."

"They just thought they would rely on the eldest couple for their old age and didn't want to be too harsh; who would have thought the eldest daughter-in-law would be so selfish? This harms others, herself, and her family; by now she must be regretting it so much her intestines have turned green."

As soon as the three siblings entered the backyard, Qiu Qiu Yiming and Qiu Qiu Yilin spotted them: "Cousins, why have you come at this time?"

Xiao Wanpeng lifted the net bag in his hand: "Naturally, we were afraid your father couldn't handle it alone, so we brought a few dishes to add to your New Year's Eve dinner."

The two children were very sensible: "Thank you, cousins, for making the special trip."

Qiu Jinzhou, who was busy in the kitchen, also came out with wet hands: "Why have you come at this hour..."

Before the word 'le' could be spoken, he saw the net bags Xiao Wanpeng and the others were carrying; a flush of embarrassment crossed his face, while a warm current flashed through his heart.

He knew the Xiao family was worried about their daughter, so they sent the vegetables over, but this act truly helped him greatly, making him feel a huge sense of relief.

Normally he would indeed go into the kitchen to help, but making the grand dishes for the New Year, he was truly flustered and at a loss; whether they could eat the New Year's Eve dinner on time, he truly had no idea.

The group greeted each other in unison.

Xiao Wanpeng did not want to enter the little aunt's room, since she was still in confinement; after handing the net bag to the little uncle, he said: "Liu Chuxue, Chunxiao, you go inside to keep the aunt company and talk; I'll stay here to chat with the uncle for a few words, and we'll leave in a moment."

Liu Chuxue took Chunxiao into the room: "Little aunt, Grandma sent us to bring you a few dishes; they are all your favorites. Eat a bit more later and properly nourish your body."

Xiao Nianchun was naturally deeply moved: "Good, little aunt thanks you; please sit down and rest for a while."

Liu Chuxue smiled: "Aunt, Uncle Tao drove us over; there's no need to rest. We just came in to see you for a moment and will return shortly."

Xiao Nianchun also knew the family was waiting, so she did not try to keep them: "Chunxiao, remember the way to little aunt's house; come over often when you have time in the future."

Chunxiao felt a bit embarrassed: "Little aunt, we haven't remembered it yet, but next time I'll take the bus over; as long as I remember which stop to get off at, I'll definitely find my way."

Xiao Nianchun reached out and grabbed a handful of milk candies from the biscuit box on the cabinet: "Eat some candy."

Liu Chuxue took a few pieces of candy in her hand, turned around, and gave one each to Qiu Qiu Yiming and Qiu Qiu Yilin who had just entered: "Qiu Qiu Yilin, take this piece of candy out to your cousin so he can sweeten his mouth too."

Seeing her nieces not stand on ceremony with her, Xiao Nianchun felt very touched in her heart.

After chatting for a few moments and seeing the little aunt was in a better mood than yesterday, Liu Chuxue felt this mission was accomplished; just then, she heard Xiao Wanpeng's voice from outside: "Little aunt, we should be going; we'll come to see you again in a few days."

After seeing them off, Qiu Qiu Yiming, who returned to the room to keep his mother company, noticed his mother's mood had improved greatly: "Mom, you..."

Seeing her son's worried face, she said: "Mom has figured it out; since the situation cannot be changed, let's just live well in the present. I cannot let those who love me suffer and those who hate me rejoice, nor can I let my true family members keep worrying; Mom still has you."

Qiu Qiu Yiming's eyes turned red: "Mom, it's wonderful that you can think this way; I was truly afraid you would get stuck in a dead end this time; fortunately, you have figured it out."
