Chapter 1173 Why are they all standing here?
As the train slowly rolled forward, Fu Yancheng replied, "Today's train will be back tomorrow."
Xia Qiu's face lit up with a smile when she heard that her younger sister would be coming back tomorrow: "That's wonderful!"
Fu Yancheng really had something to do: "Sister, brother-in-law, I have something to do, so I'll have to go first. We'll come over together when Chuxue comes back."
Xia Qiu quickly waved her hand: "Go ahead and get busy."
Watching the car disappear into the traffic, Xia Qiu remarked with a sigh, "I really didn't expect that my brother-in-law, with his status, would be so unpretentious here."
Qiu Shaofeng watched the car drive away and said, "Try to advise Mom more often. Your brother-in-law is good to the family because of your second sister. Ever since you came to the city, have you noticed that Mom has changed? To be precise, she has changed since she got pregnant. I can't say for sure, but I can feel it."
Xia Qiu naturally sensed it too, but that was her own mother, so she couldn't just follow suit: "The environment has changed, so it's normal for people to change a little bit. Don't overthink it."
Seeing his wife say this, Qiu Shaofeng, as the son-in-law, naturally couldn't say anything more. He turned to his son, who was looking around curiously, and said, "Son, you'll see your uncle soon. Sigh, your generation is really something else."
Xia Qiu heard Qiu Shaofeng's words: "What nonsense are you talking about with your son?"
Qiu Shaofeng quickly explained to his wife with a smile, "I was just joking with our son, but whether he has any thoughts about it in the future is none of my business."
The young couple arrived at the Xiao family's house after arguing, only to find a large crowd gathered at the gate. Thinking something had happened, they quickened their pace.
As they walked by, they overheard Xiao's mother proudly saying, "Sister-in-law Liang, my son has three older sisters. With them taking care of him in the future, I dare not say how glamorous his life will be, but he certainly won't have to suffer. You don't need to tell me anything about having three sons. Just look at the chaos in your house every day; I feel exhausted just looking at you."
Liang Jiaming heard this as soon as he came out. He knew that his wife must have been being cheeky and showing off that she had given birth to three sons. She didn't even know who the Xiao family was. He had clearly asked her to come out and build good relations with them, but now she probably said something unpleasant and angered them.
He quickly stepped forward: "Brother Xiao, sister-in-law, you're back! Congratulations!"
When Sister-in-law Liang saw her husband come out, she remembered what he had asked her to do: "Oh dear, look at my mouth, I really don't think before I speak. Sister-in-law, please don't take it to heart. There are still a few eggs at home, I'll take them over as an apology."
Cheng's wife, who had been standing, quickly tried to smooth things over: "Sister-in-law, although it's warm today, the child is still small, please go inside quickly."
Just then, the elderly couple from the Xiao family, who had gone out to buy groceries, arrived with their purchases: "Why are you all standing here?"
Mr. Xiao could say that he had wanted to bring his son into the hospital for a long time, but his wife kept holding onto his sleeve and wouldn't let go. He knew that she had been feeling resentful all these years because she didn't have a son, and he thought that he and his wife had finally been able to hold their heads high, so he didn't rush to pull her back.
Even though the old man had retired, his imposing presence remained. Liang's wife said guiltily, "Oh dear, I still have a fire burning in the stove, I'll go back first."
Everyone shook their heads with amusement as they watched her run home. After all, this woman's achievement of giving birth to three sons right after entering the family was something that had to be brought up for a stroll every now and then.
