Chapter 1304 No More Than This
Hearing this, Xia Qiu naturally wouldn't be ungrateful: "Chunxiao, you've seen how busy I've been these past few days. I haven't been at the company long, and I'm already under a lot of pressure. When I got back, I also had to take care of Junjun. I really didn't have time to help your classmates alter clothes. Besides, you're already helping them, so why are you taking on these extra tasks?"
Upon hearing this, Mr. Xiao's expression darkened: "Aren't you just making trouble out of nothing? Where would your eldest sister find the time?"
Chu Xue then spoke up: "It's good that you want to help others, but please do what you can. We can understand that you want to show off and gain a good reputation, but it's not appropriate for you to delegate all the work to others. What do you think?"
"We'll let it go this time. You did it for the class's honor, and you've already bragged about it. We can't just watch you lose face, can we? Your brother-in-law helped you this time, but you should think twice in the future."
Chunxiao's face darkened as she watched everyone lecturing her: "Didn't Grandpa say that family members should help each other? Why can't it be the same when it comes to me?"
After listening to the whole thing, Grandpa Xiao had no choice but to speak up: "Your second sister has made it so clear, and you still don't understand? Before helping others, you have to consider whether you have the ability. If your second sister's husband wasn't in the army, how would you have resolved this matter?"
And have you ever thought about the difficulties others are facing?
They just jumped right in and assigned you tasks. Your second sister's husband lent you clothes, and your eldest sister altered them for you. What were you thinking? And what about you?
Xiao's mother had also heard the commotion in the yard and came out of the house. "Your grandfather is right. Take this as a lesson and think more carefully before you do anything in the future."
Seeing that no one was on her side, Chunxiao stopped arguing and said, "I understand."
After saying that, she looked at Fu Yancheng and said, "Second brother-in-law, you have to help me this time, otherwise I'm afraid I won't be able to face anyone."
Fu Yancheng nodded slightly to her: "This is the last time."
Actually, it's not a big deal. It's just that his sister-in-law is a bit too self-important and doesn't respect his wife enough, so naturally he can't get close to her.
She looked up at the elders in the courtyard and said, "Then I'll take Chuxue back with me."
Xia Qiu said, "Since you're coming over tomorrow anyway, why don't you stay here tonight?"
Chu Xue smiled and said, "Now that we're both back, I'm thinking of going to my mother-in-law's place tomorrow morning. My sister-in-law's wedding date will probably be set in the next few days, so we, as her older brother and sister-in-law, naturally need to pay more attention to it."
This was supported by Old Master Xiao: "You did the right thing, that's how it should be done."
After leaving the Xiao family's house, the two strolled towards the bus stop. Chu Xue sighed, "When we first met, I was still a student. How long has it been? I'm already married and pregnant."
Hearing her sigh, Fu Yancheng smiled indulgently: "Why are you suddenly feeling sentimental?"
Chu Xue looked up at the sky and said, "It's nothing, just something I said offhand."
Although she said it like that, Fu Yancheng could tell that she was not just saying it casually. He tightened his grip on Chuxue's hand and said, "Are you satisfied with my performance, wife? Also, if there is anything I did wrong, you must tell me, and I will definitely try my best to correct it."
Chu Xue could tell he was serious, after all, his hand was sweating as he held hers, and she wasn't going to tease him: "So far, I'm quite satisfied. Let's keep working hard."
Fu Yancheng smiled broadly: "Yes, sir."
