Chapter 20: Ungrateful



As soon as Cao Xuemei came out, everyone's attention was drawn to her.

When Xu Sanli heard Cao Xuemei say this to her, her face was immediately filled with embarrassment.

"Xuemei."

She immediately stood up, pretended nothing had happened, and walked over with a smile.

"Wow! What a beautiful little sister!" As she said that, she reached out and gently touched the baby's face.

Anyone with normal skills knows that if someone has just given birth and is still in the confinement period, you shouldn’t go to their home casually.

Except for family members, no one likes others to touch their baby who is not even a month old.

But out of politeness, Cao Xuemei still smiled and said hello: "Sanli."

But as soon as she turned around, she said to Lu Lixing with an unhappy look on her face: "Lixing, my sister-in-law asked you to make some chicken porridge just now, why haven't you gone yet? I want to eat porridge."

Lu Lixing hadn't realized Cao Xuemei's displeasure yet, and he even said with a smile on Xu Sanli's behalf, "Why are you eating porridge? Sanli said that eating helps with milk production. How about I steam an egg for you and then have some rice?"

Wang Youyou saw Cao Xuemei's cold expression and knew that Cao Xuemei was unhappy.

She hurried over, wanting to hold the baby, but Xu Sanli reached out her hand first and said enthusiastically, "Xuemei, let me hold the little sister. She really looks like Lixing! They're exactly the same."

Cao Xuemei didn't like her, but for the sake of face, she still hugged her carefully.

As a result, before I even let go of my hand, the baby became unhappy, moving around, whining, and looked like he wanted to cry.

Cao Xuemei had no choice but to bring the baby back, patting him and coaxing him softly, "Be good, be good, mommy is here!"

Seeing this, Xu Sanli came forward and asked with concern, "Xuemei, are you hungry, little sister?"

Before Cao Xuemei could answer Xu Sanli, Wang Youyou stepped forward and naturally took the baby in her arms.

"Xuemei, sit down and talk. I'll hold you."

The amazing thing is that the baby calmed down as soon as he lay in Wang Youyou's arms.

Even Xu Sanli couldn't help but praise her: "What a smart little sister, she knows how to choose someone to hold at such a young age!"

"Maybe she doesn't like the smell of you." Wang Youyou said casually without even raising her head.

Hearing this, Xu Sanli pursed her lips, and a hint of displeasure flashed in her eyes.

Cao Xuemei saw all of this.

She glanced at the baby, sat down, and said to everyone with a smile, "I was feeding her in there just now. After eating the soup my sister-in-law cooked this afternoon, it seems that she has a lot more milk. I can even hear her swallowing."

Lu Xingfei couldn't stand hearing such topics, and his face looked a little embarrassed.

After hearing this, Lu Lixing smiled excitedly and asked, "Really?"

Cao Xuemei turned around, glanced at Wang Youyou, and continued, "Of course, it's all thanks to my sister-in-law. She understood me and knew I couldn't eat, so she made me an appetizer soup. I ate a whole bowl of it!"

"You're welcome." Wang Youyou was also happy for her.

It seems that Cao Xuemei's milk supply is slowly increasing.

In the next few days, there will be more and more milk, and I’m afraid the baby won’t be able to finish it.

Cao Xuemei deliberately glanced at Xu Sanli and said to Lu Lixing bluntly, "So, Lixing, sister-in-law is right. You have to listen to her. Go make me some porridge. Sister-in-law said that if you have no appetite, you should eat small meals frequently. It's only seven o'clock, and I have two more meals tonight before going to bed. You should make more porridge."

Cao Xuemei kept calling Xu Sanli "sister-in-law", which made Xu Sanli feel uncomfortable. Her proud expression just now gradually faded.

She thought to herself, if Wang Youyou hadn't snatched her away to marry, she should have been the sister-in-law!

Lu Lixing's expression changed quickly, and he completely forgot what Xu Sanli had just said.

Pidianpi agreed happily, "Yes, listen to sister-in-law, I'll go make porridge right away."

Wang Youyou kindly reminded him, "Lixing, remember to remove the chicken skin and add some shredded ginger. After it's cooked, add some vegetables. Also, just add salt, no oil. Remember to cook it until it's soft."

"Okay, I'll remember that."

Lu Lixing got up to make porridge, then remembered Xu Sanli was still standing next to him, so he turned around and said hello with a smile: "Sanli, I'll go make porridge, you guys chat."

"Well, go ahead and get busy!" Xu Sanli forced a smile.

As soon as Lu Lixing left, Cao Xuemei immediately warned Xu Sanli, "Sanli, don't teach my Lixing nonsense in the future. The saying that eating porridge will not produce milk is a fallacy. Besides, I don't have a good appetite like your sister. I don't even have an appetite for food, and you still ask me to eat more to produce milk. Aren't you making it difficult for me?"

"I was just kidding." Xu Sanli showed an awkward smile on her face.

Cao Xuemei said seriously, "Don't joke about that. Lixing might think I don't have enough milk because I don't eat. If Lixing forces me to eat, we'll have another fight."

Wang Youyou listened silently. She didn't expect Cao Xuemei to be so straightforward.

Xu Sanli smiled awkwardly again: "It's not that serious, right? In fact, eating porridge or rice is fine. I remember when my eldest sister had just given birth, she also ate porridge, saying it was for easier access to the toilet, but after that, it was all rice."

"Yes, it's all fine, as long as it's nutritious enough and you're full." Wang Youyou kindly tried to smooth things over for them.

"I'm going to sleep, you guys chat!" After saying that, Cao Xuemei picked up the baby and went back to the room.

She had nothing to talk about with Xu Sanli.

They were all women, and she could tell at a glance that Xu Sanli came here with bad intentions.

How could it be such a coincidence? Every time Big Brother came back, Xu Sanli would follow right after him.

Moreover, anyone with a discerning eye would know that Xu Sanli's words just now were meant to deliberately sow discord between her elder brother and his wife.
