Chapter 1159 Pushing the envelope
Qiu Family
While washing dishes in the kitchen, Xia Qiu hesitated for a moment before speaking to her mother-in-law, "Mom, I'd like to go to the city tomorrow. My mother's due date has passed, and she hasn't called yet, so I'm a little worried."

Before Qiu's mother could speak, An Xiaojing, who came in carrying a basin, chimed in: "Sister-in-law, my due date is also in the next few days. There's a lot of work to do at the team these days, and my parents are exhausted after a day's work. What will I do if you go back to your parents' home again?"

Qiu Shaofeng, who had come to find his mother with his son in his arms, overheard this and said, "Sister-in-law, what are you saying? Can your sister-in-law take your place when you give birth? And you want her to go back to her parents' home? What are you going to do? It's not her responsibility. If you want to find someone, you should find Shaocheng. What does it have to do with your sister-in-law?"

Ever since Xia Qiu refused her sister-in-law's request to borrow malted milk powder, this sister-in-law has been making all sorts of nonsense. Xia Qiu didn't want to have any conflicts with her since she was pregnant, but this woman is taking advantage of the situation.

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He turned to his younger brother Qiu Shaocheng, who was chopping wood, and said, "Second brother, keep an eye on your wife. The child in her belly is yours. Don't keep bringing up your sister-in-law. People who don't know any better will think that the child's father is your sister-in-law."

Upon hearing this, the few people in the kitchen who had been keeping a serious expression immediately burst out laughing.

Qiu's mother also felt that her second daughter-in-law had indeed been making a fuss lately: "Second daughter-in-law, you have me as your mother-in-law when you have a baby, you don't need your eldest sister-in-law. Junjun is still young, it's good enough that your sister-in-law takes good care of him. Besides, if she can't manage, there's always Shaomei to help."

An Xiaojing retorted, "Shaomei still has to go to work to earn work points, otherwise our whole family will starve this year."

Qiu Shaofeng was even angrier: "I can support my own wife, so my sister-in-law doesn't need to worry about her."

After saying that, he turned to look at his younger brother Qiu Shaocheng, who was walking over: "You mean the second child?"

Qiu Shaocheng looked helpless: "Xiaojing, your brother is right. Don't worry, I will work hard and make sure you and the child don't go hungry. Just take care of yourself and don't worry about other things."

An Xiaojing felt even more unhappy watching her husband being led away by his older brother: "Qiu Shaocheng, what am I doing this for? Isn't it all for our family?"

Seeing that his second sister-in-law was about to start again, Qiu Shaofeng waved to Xia Qiu: "Our son is a little sleepy, I can barely hold him anymore. Take him back to the room, I'll tidy up." Xia Qiu knew exactly what Qiu Shaofeng meant, and she was indeed annoyed by her sister-in-law's tactic: "Okay, you just clean the stove and sweep the kitchen floor, I've already tidied up the rest."

Seeing Xia Qiu about to leave with the child, An Xiaojing, for reasons unknown, clutched her stomach and said, "My stomach hurts."

As he spoke, he sat down on the ground.

Everyone knew her due date was in the next few days, and they assumed that her emotional distress had upset her and caused her to miscarry, so they all became anxious.

She frantically tried to help her up, but she wouldn't get up and stared directly at Xia Qiu, saying, "I need my sister-in-law to apologize to me before I can get up."

No one expected her to say that.

Qiu Shaofeng was the first to object: "What did your sister-in-law do to you that she has to apologize to you? Because you're pregnant, your sister-in-law has already been very accommodating to you. Are you taking advantage of her? Do whatever you want. We don't have time to deal with you."

As she spoke, she shoved her son into Xia Qiu's arms: "Come on, let's go back inside and comfort our son."

Zhang Shanmei, who had been watching the whole thing from the eldest son's side, burst out laughing: "Young Master, you've really gone too far."

Qiu Shaohu nudged her with his elbow: "Don't cause trouble."
