"I, I, I..." Li Xiaoxing couldn't say anything useful. In desperation, she raised her hand and pinched the soft flesh on Zhao Maizhou's waist, signaling him to help say a few words quickly.
After feeling the pain, Zhao Maizhou blurted out without thinking, "Mom, this is really not suitable. Xiao Xing is not that precious. It's a waste to eat this bird's nest."
Chen Shuilian was unhappy when she heard this, and she reached out and grabbed Zhao Maizhou's ear.
"How did you become so heartless? Don't learn from your elder brother. Xiao Xing works so hard to help in the store. Even if she's not pregnant, she can just eat some bird's nests. What's more, she is pregnant. How can you, as her husband, not feel sorry for her at all?"
"It hurts, it hurts, mom, please let go, I was wrong." Zhao Maizhou felt extremely aggrieved. His waist and ears hurt now.
It seemed like nothing I said was right.
Woo woo woo, it’s really hard to be caught between women.
Seeing her husband, Li Xiaoxing hurriedly said, "Mom, please let go. I know that husband doesn't mean that. It's just that this bird's nest is too expensive. I don't even think I deserve to eat it."
Zhao Maizhou nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, yes, I really didn't mean that, mother, please believe me."
Chen Shuilian was satisfied, but she didn't let go of her hand. "Since that's not what you meant, you can just let her feed me. Isn't it just twenty taels of silver? It's like we can't afford it."
Their family has saved a huge sum of money now. In fact, twenty taels of silver is nothing to them now. It's just that they have been used to being frugal for many years and suddenly they are not used to such extravagance.
Zhao Maizhou looked at his wife pitifully, hoping that she would agree quickly and save him.
Facing two pairs of bright eyes staring at her, Li Xiaoxing could only nod and agree helplessly.
Chen Shuilian breathed a sigh of relief and finally agreed.
She also let go of the hand that was holding Zhao Maizhou's ear.
Zhao Maizhou rubbed his ears with great grievance. What had he done to offend anyone?
While a few people were chatting, Xiao Cui came over with stewed bird's nest.
Chen Shuilian motioned her to put it on the table, and then couldn't wait to let Li Xiaoxing taste it.
"Be good, drink it and try it to see how it tastes."
Xiao Cui’s cooking skills are very good. She even added rock sugar to the bird’s nest, making it taste sweet.
Li Xiaoxing took a sip and squinted her eyes happily, "It tastes good."
"As long as it tastes good, this bird's nest mother will definitely give you enough!" Chen Shuilian spoke in a very domineering manner. Even Xiao Cui looked at Li Xiaoxing with envy.
Li Xiaoxing is a grateful person. When she heard this, she couldn't help but tears welled up in her eyes.
In order not to ruin the warm atmosphere, she lowered her head and held back her tears while drinking bird's nest.
When her mood finally recovered, she raised her head and smiled, "Thank you, mother. You are so kind~"
"It's my duty. If I don't treat you well, who else can I treat well?" At this point, Chen Shuilian remembered something, "By the way, did you tell your mother-in-law about this great happy event?"
Zhao Maizhou shook his head.
"Why don't you go and announce the good news, kid?" Chen Shuilian glared at him, her face full of disapproval.
