Chapter 983: Second Sister, Why Are You So Stingy?

The Cheng family daughter-in-law heard Xiao Mu's words and replied with a smile, "That's quite a big birthday. Was it a boy or a girl?"

Xiao Mu had been waiting for this question and said with a joyful expression, "A boy weighing six jin. I was worried the young couple wouldn't know what to do, but fortunately my in-laws stayed at the health station with them, so I can rest easy."

Liu Chuxue didn't expect her own mother to have this side to her; she was even getting vain.

But thinking about it, she could understand. Having given birth to three daughters before, she had been talked about quite a bit in the village. Now that she had a grandson, naturally she wanted to share the news and receive others' compliments.

If she weren't heavily pregnant, she would definitely have gone back to the village to show off.

Sure enough, upon hearing this, the Cheng family daughter-in-law said, "Oh, a boy is good. No matter whether you have a boy or a girl later, there will be no pressure, and life in your husband's family will be easier. Congratulations, Sister-in-law Xiao, on becoming a grandmother."

After speaking, she smiled and looked at her belly, "The nephew and aunt are born in the same year; growing up together, their bond will surely be strong."

These words were naturally pleasing to Xiao Mu, "Then I'll take your auspicious words."

After speaking, she touched her own belly, thinking in her heart: My daughter gave birth to a son; this is a good omen. This pregnancy of mine must absolutely be a boy, otherwise, at my age, I'm afraid I won't be able to conceive again.

The Cheng family daughter-in-law might have also seen through Xiao Mu's thoughts, "Your belly is pointed; you're surely carrying a boy."

This made Xiao Mu even happier, and the two exchanged a few pleasantries before parting ways.

The three entered the courtyard and were about to go into the main house when, passing the kitchen, they happened to see Chunxiao packing buns into her crossbody bag. She might have heard them entering the courtyard and didn't even bother wrapping them in kraft paper, just stuffing them straight into the bag.

Xiao Mu immediately glanced at Fu Yan Cheng; after all, those buns were bought by Fu Yan Cheng for Liu Chuxue. The owner hadn't even eaten them yet, and Chunxiao was doing this: "What are you doing?"

Embarrassment flashed across Chunxiao's face, "Nothing. Luo Pingping and Jiang Chunhui from my class helped me quite a bit before. We happen to be planning to go out today, so I thought I'd bring a few buns for them to taste, as a return gift."

Xiao Fu heard the commotion outside and walked out of the room, "Have you finished your phone call? What's going on?"

Liu Chuxue looked at Chunxiao and her face darkened immediately, "Take them out."

Chunxiao played dumb, "What?"

Liu Chuxue was truly angry. She had originally thought that since she had already diverted the plot from its original track, she had repaid the kindness of borrowing the original body's form, and from now on, if they could get along, they would; if not, they would each live peacefully.

Even though Chunxiao had often done things that made people angry before, she had overlooked it because in the book she was dragged down by the original owner and met such a tragic end, thinking that once she married and left home in a while, Chunxiao wouldn't be in her line of sight anymore. She never expected this person to push her luck further.

It wasn't that she was stingy, but this person's behavior was simply too terrible.

Whether Fu Yan Cheng had eaten or not aside, at least she and Xiao Mu hadn't eaten yet. She looked up at Xiao Fu, "Dad, have you had breakfast?"

Xiao Fu, afraid Liu Chuxue would blame Chunxiao and afraid Fu Yan Cheng would laugh at them, instinctively blurted out, "I've eaten."

But this morning's breakfast was made by Liu Chuxue, and the rice she had previously served to Xiao Fu was still sitting there, "Dad, how long do you intend to protect her?"

After speaking, she walked into the kitchen, reached out, and yanked her crossbody bag off, "I don't care what you're thinking, but these buns were bought for me by Fu Yan Cheng. I have the final say."

"Second Sister, why are you so stingy?"
