Chapter 1171 Toothache and Envy
Fu Yancheng happened to glance at the things his father-in-law had packed up at his feet and asked, "Are you two getting discharged from the hospital?"
As she spoke, she took out a red envelope made of red paper from her pocket and stuffed it directly into her brother-in-law's swaddling clothes: "This is a token of my and Chuxue's affection. Mom, please accept it for your brother."
When Xiao's mother saw the red envelope, her face lit up with smiles, and she completely forgot what she had just asked: "Oh dear, this is the first red envelope our Shitou has ever received. You're so thoughtful."
After saying that, he pinched the red envelope and stuffed it into the swaddling clothes: "Shitou, this is your second brother-in-law, you must remember him."
Suddenly remembering the important matter, he looked up at Fu Yancheng and asked again, "How did you get here?"
Fu Yancheng immediately understood his mother-in-law's meaning: "I drove here. It's better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early. I'll take you back now."
After saying that, he looked at Xiao's mother and asked, "Have the formalities been completed?"
Mr. Xiao nodded; "Yes, it's all better now."
Fu Yancheng stepped forward and picked up the things on the ground: "Then let's go, I'll see you off."
Mrs. Xiao was delighted, but she still glared at Mr. Xiao: "Our Shitou is going home in a car! Our Shitou is so lucky. Look, he has a car to ride in now."
His smug look made the other pregnant women and their families in the ward feel a mix of toothache and envy.
Mr. Xiao looked embarrassed, coughed lightly, and looked at Fu Yancheng: "Then you take them back, I'll ride my bicycle back."
They had barely left when Xia Qiu and Qiu Shaofeng arrived carrying their son. After much difficulty finding the ward, they searched for a long time but couldn't find anyone: "Weren't you supposed to be in this ward? Why can't we see anyone?"
A kind-hearted family member stood at the door: "Young lady, who are you looking for?"
Xia Qiu asked with a smile, "Auntie, may I ask if Zhao Lamei is staying in this ward?"
The old woman glanced into the room, and then the woman who had just given birth said, "That's the one who left earlier."
The old woman slapped her thigh: "Oh dear, look at my memory! Yes, it's her."
Xia Qiu quickly asked, "Is she staying in this ward? Where is she?"
The old woman smiled and pointed outside: "The person just left a little while ago; you're too late."
Xia Qiu thanked the person and turned to Qiu Shaofeng outside the door, saying, "It seems we went the wrong way. Mom has been discharged from the hospital and gone home."
The old woman looked at Qiu Shaofeng standing at the door and asked curiously, "Who are you to her?"
Xia Qiu smiled gently, a little embarrassed: "That's my mom."
The old woman looked at Xia Qiu, then at the child in Qiu Shaofeng's arms, and asked awkwardly, "Who are you?"
Xia Qiu was stunned for a moment, then immediately realized: "I'm the boss."
The old woman had an "I see" look on her face: "How many girls do you have down there?"
Xia Qiu seemed reluctant to answer further: "Auntie, we have something to do, so we'll be leaving now."
The old woman wasn't about to let it go: "By the way, a tall, big man picked them up just now. I heard your mother tell the child to call him 'Second Sister's Husband,' so he should be your sister's husband."
Qiu Shaofeng spoke first: "Could it be that Chu Xue has returned?"
Xia Qiu gently shook her head at him: "I don't know."
Thinking of something, he turned to look at the old woman: "Did only my brother-in-law come?"
The old woman smiled and nodded: "Yes, I heard he drove here. What does your brother-in-law do?"
Seeing her gossipy expression, Xia Qiu wasn't about to reveal a single word: "Auntie, I'm sorry, I'm in a hurry to go home to see my mom and brother, so I'll have to talk to you later."
They quickly pushed Qiu Shaofeng out.
