The family returned to the slum happily.
Li Mancang came out with an inquiring look in his eyes. Wu Zhiqiu nodded. Li Mancang grinned. His family was really prosperous.
Chunni was unhappy when she came back. They had been out for such a long time, and the eldest couple just waited for them without even cooking.
Dong Yun came out holding the child and asked, "Is my third brother's wife really pregnant?" Seeing how happy the third brother was, there was no need to ask.
Su Mo nodded and was about to go into the kitchen when Chun Ni quickly pulled her back. "Oh my dear Miss, I can't use you as my helper anymore. You should take a rest. Be careful in the first three months."
"Dong Yun, you and Chunni go cook, I'll take care of the child for you," Wu Zhiqiu said. They were all daughters-in-law, and they just came to eat ready-made food. It would be strange if Chunni was happy about that.
Dong Yun had an uneasy smile on his face. "The baby needs to be fed. My third sister-in-law just got pregnant. It's okay if she does some work."
Before Wu Zhiqiu could speak, Chunni spoke first, "Then you two can cook. I will do it after you finish feeding. I won't wait on you. If you don't help with cooking when you come back, don't come back at mealtime."
"What's it to you whether we eat at home or not?" Dong Yun started to argue with Chunni again.
The third brother brought out a small stool for Su Mo and sat beside him to watch slowly.
Su Mo...why are you so careless, as if it's none of their business.
Chunni glanced at Dong Yun and said, "Who cares? I can take care of my parents, but I won't take care of you. If you want to eat, make it yourself. Don't nag me if I don't bring you some."
"The third brother and his wife always come back to eat, how do you cook for them?" Dong Yun felt very aggrieved. They only came back twice a week, but the third brother came back every day. Chunni was deliberately targeting her and looking down on her.
"Su Mo is just like you, so lazy, relying on being a child to do nothing. Even if Su Mo does nothing, I am happy to serve her. I won't serve you. Money can't buy my happiness." Chun Ni laughed and angrily said to Dong Yun.
"Dong Yun, go help with the cooking. Why are you making such a fuss?" Li Xingguo said to Dong Yun with a dark face. Why couldn't he be happy after coming back? He had to make some trouble.
"Boss, you have a nanny at home. Come back after you finish eating. Chunni is tired enough at home. If she doesn't help, she won't cause trouble." Wu Zhiqiu said bluntly when Dong Yun couldn't get his orders.
Li Xingguo nodded and said, "I understand, Mom. I'll bring the kids over after I have some rest. We'll go back first."
Dong Yun glared at Chunni and didn't dare say anything else.
If she hadn't wanted her child to be close to her two elder parents, she wouldn't have come back.
On the way back, Dong Yun wanted to grumble, but seeing Li Xingguo's gloomy face, he dared not say anything. Although Li Xingguo liked the girl very much, she was not a boy after all, and could not carry on the family line. The family did not value her, so it was useless for a man to like her.
Su Mo couldn't go to the kitchen to help, so he asked the third brother to help. The third brother went happily. Now he would do anything because he was finally going to be a father.
While eating, the third child looked at Wu Zhiqiu pitifully and said, "Mom, we both don't know how to cook, and Su Mo is pregnant. What should we do?"
Wu Zhiqiu: "That's cool. You have so much money to have a baby. Just hire a nanny. If that doesn't work, hire a cook."
The third child: "That food doesn't taste like home. It's so inconvenient to live with outsiders."
Wu Zhiqiu ate his meal and said, "There's no room at home. The holidays are almost here, and Manman and Xiaoyu are both coming back soon. How about you stay at your mother-in-law's house?"
The third brother shook his head like a rattle. "No, I'm not marrying into the family, so I won't go."
"It's not you who's pregnant, Su Mo. If you want to go back to your parents' home, then go back. If you want to eat home-cooked meals, then come back every day. Your home is small and it's inconvenient to live here. You know how your sister-in-law made a fuss then. When you're further along in the pregnancy and it becomes inconvenient, then hire someone," Wu Zhiqiu said to Su Mo.
