Chapter 1369 Brother-in-law, you're really good at scheming!
Mr. Xiao looked at Chunxiao with a cold face: "You're not a child anymore, you should be more sensible. Everyone says that studying makes you wise, but what about you?"
Chunxiao was a little annoyed: "Dad, all I wanted was a piece of pastry, is it really necessary for you to treat me like this?"
Mr. Xiao was already in a bad mood because of Fu Yanshou's injury, and Chunxiao was still going on and on: "What, can't I say anything to you? What's going on now? Didn't you hear that your second brother-in-law was injured? And what did you do? Did you even say a word of concern?"
Chunxiao fell silent.
Qiu Shaofeng came out of the kitchen carrying his son: "Dad, I'll take the day off tomorrow and go with you."
Chunxiao was already unhappy after being criticized by her father, so she blurted out, "Brother-in-law, you're really good at scheming. You see Dad has already bought the things, and you want to use them to curry favor with him?"
As soon as she said this, Xia Qiu, who had just entered the kitchen, came out with a spatula in her hand: "Xiao Chunxiao, are you out of your mind? Your brother-in-law and I just discussed it. We don't have many coupons, so he'll go to the morning market tomorrow to see if he can buy a few watermelons. What gives you the right to slander people as soon as you open your mouth?"
At this moment, Xiao's mother also came out of the house: "Chunxiao, apologize to your eldest sister and brother-in-law."
Chunxiao was angry at herself for speaking too quickly, and reluctantly apologized.
But Xia Qiu was truly hurt by her younger sister Chunxiao. Without saying whether she forgave her, she turned and went into the kitchen.
Qiu Shaofeng quickly followed him inside: "Honey, let's rent a place and move out after we get paid next month. I've inquired, and the factory-run nursery also accepts children our son is this age, but it's definitely not as well-cared for as a mother."
Xia Qiu was also worried that Qiu Shaofeng would feel uncomfortable staying here after today's incident: "Okay, whatever you say."
After the couple finished cooking, Xiao's mother, who was in the living room, gave Chunxiao a good scolding.
Xiao's father also apologized to Qiu Shaofeng on Chunxiao's behalf.
Even though Qiu Shaofeng said he wouldn't hold it against his sister-in-law, the meal was still very stressful.
The next morning, before dawn, Qiu Shaofeng went out. He had heard people say that there was a morning market in the suburbs where villagers from the surrounding area would bring their own agricultural products.
He was lucky; he actually found what he wanted. He not only bought two watermelons but also more than a dozen cantaloupes. Since they didn't have receipts, they naturally couldn't buy the nutritional supplements from the supply and marketing cooperative. But no matter what, it was a token of their goodwill.
Thinking that he would split the property in two, he could take good care of his parents-in-law. After all, his family of three was staying at their house without any complaints from his parents-in-law, and he would naturally remember their kindness.
As for Chunxiao, as long as she can save face from now on, that's fine.
Xia Qiu had inquired before, but she couldn't bear to leave. She was afraid that there were too many children to take care of there and the caregivers wouldn't be able to take care of them. But if she moved out now, it wouldn't be right to send the children back to her mother to help take care of them. She thought she could just get through it.
The reason I went with my father-in-law was naturally to thank them in person. As a beneficiary, I couldn't pretend not to know, especially since they got along quite well as brothers-in-law.
To his surprise, as soon as he entered the hospital, he heard Xia Qiu say, "I also took leave to go with you and Dad."
After getting up, she went to her colleague's house in the next alley to ask her to take a leave slip to the section chief. Everyone knew that Xia Qiu was a relative, so they would naturally give her some face.
Xiao's mother was quite pleased to see that her eldest son-in-law had also prepared a gift for the family.
After breakfast, the three of them went out together and headed to the military base.
