Chapter 982: Unwilling to Let Her Natal Family Get Used to Taking Things for Granted

Liu Chuxue paid no attention to Chunxiao's matter.

The porridge was ready by now: "Mom, breakfast is ready."

She then called out to Chunxiao, who was standing in the yard: "Come help Mom carry the meal back to the room."

After hearing Liu Chuxue's words, Xiao Mu also said she would carry it herself, thinking that only her second sister could keep her own little daughter in check.

Liu Chuxue saw she had something to say: "Mom, is there something wrong?"

Worry flashed across Xiao Mu's face: "I don't know how your sister is doing. Do you have the health station's phone number? I want to go to the public phone at the alley entrance and call to ask about the situation."

Actually, Liu Chuxue was worried too: "You eat first; I'll go ask about it in a moment."

Fu Yan Cheng spoke up at this point: "I know the phone number for the commune health station."

Liu Chuxue turned to look at him: "How do you have the health station's phone number?"

Fu Yan Cheng coughed lightly: "I was carrying out a mission in that area before; I did thorough preparations in advance, so naturally I remembered that phone number."

Hearing this, Xiao Mu's eyes brightened: "Liu Chuxue, how about we go make the call first and come back to eat breakfast later? I'm really worried about your sister; I have no appetite at all right now."

Liu Chuxue saw she wasn't lying: "Alright, then I'll go with you first."

It wasn't far from the alley entrance to begin with, so they arrived quickly.

Fu Yan Cheng recited a string of numbers; Liu Chuxue dialed them, but because a transfer was needed, it took quite a while to connect.

Then a voice came from the other end: "Hello, who are you looking for?"

Liu Chuxue quickly gave her sister's ward number: "I am Xiao Xiaqiu's sister. Please ask her family to come take the call; I'll call back in three minutes."

When she called again, she heard Qiu Shaofeng's voice: "Hello, is this Liu Chuxue?"

"Brother-in-law, it's me. How is my sister now?"

She had wanted to ask other things, but Xiao Mu took the receiver directly: "Shaofeng, how is Xiaqiu?"

"Mom, Xiaqiu is fine. The doctor said last night to check again this morning; if everything is okay, she can be discharged and go home."

"Has the milk come down yet?"

At the mention of this, Qiu Shaofeng's mouth was full of smiles: "It has, it has. After half a bowl of chicken soup, the milk came down last night, and Junjun is eating very well. Mom, just rest assured; I will take good care of her."

"As long as there's no problem, as long as there's no problem. Now that the milk has come down, I'm relieved. What about the child?"

"Mom, the little one fell asleep after nursing earlier; he probably won't wake up for a while."

"It's fine. You just take good care of the two of them, mother and child. I'll hang up first."

She was worried about her eldest daughter, but she also felt bad about the expensive phone call fee.

Just as she was about to reach into her pocket to pay, she saw an arm extend from behind: "I'll pay."

Xiao Mu absolutely would not agree; she insisted that Fu Yan Cheng put the money back.

Fu Yan Cheng couldn't prevail, so he had to take back the money in his hand.

Liu Chuxue said nothing. To be honest, she also somewhat disagreed with Fu Yan Cheng paying for this phone call; it wasn't that she was stingy, she just didn't want her natal family to get used to taking things for granted.

After paying, Liu Chuxue smiled lightly: "Now you're relieved, right? Do you have an appetite now?"

Teased by her own daughter, a hint of embarrassment flashed across Xiao Mu's face, but she wasn't lying either; before, worrying about her eldest daughter and grandson, she truly had no appetite.

On the way back, they happened to meet the wife of the Cheng family next door: "Sister-in-law Xiao, where did you two go so early this morning?"

Her daughter had given birth to a son; this was a great joy, so naturally she had to show off a bit: "My eldest daughter gave birth yesterday, so I was a bit worried and went to the public phone to call and ask about the situation."
