Chapter 985: You're Speaking Such Blunt Truths, It's Rather Embarrassing

After Fu Yan Cheng left, Xiao Fu looked at Liu Chuxue: "When do you plan to go over?"

Liu Chuxue swallowed the sesame ball in her mouth: "You have to go to work tomorrow, and my mother's condition means she can't go either. I thought I'd go over once more before you start work. I promised to be my sister's support, so naturally I can't go back on my word."

Fearing Xiao Fu might overthink, she changed the subject: "By the way, I haven't told my grandfather and the others yet that my sister has given birth. I need to let my eldest uncle and my youngest aunt know as well."

Xiao Fu thought this made sense; his daughter-in-law was pregnant and couldn't go, and his younger sister probably couldn't either, so it would likely fall to his eldest daughter-in-law to make the trip: "After I eat, I'll go to the compound myself to deliver the news and inform your eldest uncle there."

Hearing this, Liu Chuxue burst out laughing: "You're planning to go to my grandfather's to borrow his phone?"

Xiao Fu coughed lightly and didn't answer, thinking to himself: You're speaking such a blunt truth, it's rather embarrassing.

Xiao Mu spoke up then: "I can't go in person, but I will definitely prepare plenty of nutritional supplements for her to strengthen her body."

Liu Chuxue knew Xiao Mu prioritized the child in her belly now, so she understood and didn't press the matter.

When they had nearly finished discussing matters and eating, Fu Yan Cheng returned: "You actually grew strawberries?"

Liu Chuxue smiled: "We just happened to find some seeds. How about it? Aren't they quite red now?"

Fu Yan Cheng held out his hand to her: "Indeed, quite a few have ripened. I picked and ate a few; they taste sweet and sour, very good."

Liu Chuxue took them and said while standing up: "This is a rare thing. Dad, pick a small handful later and take them to my grandfather and the others to taste the freshness."

Saying this, she placed the washed strawberries before Xiao Mu: "Mom, try some. Do you like them?"

This was Xiao Mu's first time eating them: "They really look beautiful. I've farmed for so many years and never seen anyone grow these."

Liu Chuxue took one herself and put it in her mouth: "Mm, the taste is quite good. Strawberries are perennial plants. When I planted them, I intended for them to settle right there in that corner."

Since they had other matters today, Liu Chuxue didn't delay further: "Dad, call Chunxiao out to wash the dishes. She can't just run out every day; she needs to share the household chores appropriately so my mother can rest easier."

Xiao Fu agreed with this: "Understood."

After handing another strawberry to Fu Yan Cheng, Liu Chuxue said: "I'll tidy up, and then we'll leave."

Fu Yan Cheng lightly hummed: "No rush, take your time."

Xiao Mu looked at Liu Chuxue: "Wait, I'll brew a cup of brown sugar water. You take it to Dujuan."

Liu Chuxue slapped her forehead; she was truly confused by Chunxiao's antics and had forgotten her cousin: "I was wondering what else was left. What's wrong with Dujuan?"

Xiao Mu quickly tugged Liu Chuxue, then stood up to brew the brown sugar water.

After following her over, Liu Chuxue heard Xiao Mu lower her voice: "Dujuan got her period last night. I was nearly asleep when she came to get her menstrual cloth. She suffered a lot back in our hometown, so she has painful periods. I told her to sleep in this morning."

Liu Chuxue thought, I probably didn't hear it then because I entered the space: "Alright, I'll go check on her."

Taking the brown sugar water to her cousin's door, she called out: "Dujuan, are you awake?"

Hearing her cousin's voice, Dujuan said somewhat embarrassedly: "Cousin, wait a moment."

After lying down yesterday, her stomach had hurt worse than usual, and she only drifted off to sleep in the early hours of the morning.

Liu Chuxue quickly called out: "No hurry, take your time. My mother is worried about you and asked me to come check."
