Chapter 983 Second Sister, Why Are You So Stingy?
Upon hearing Xiao's mother's words, Cheng's daughter-in-law smiled and replied, "That's quite a big birthday! Was it a boy or a girl?"

Mother Xiao was just waiting for this question to be asked, and said with a happy face, "I gave birth to a six-pound boy. I was worried that the young couple wouldn't know anything, but thankfully my in-laws have been staying with me at the health center, so I can rest assured."

Chu Xue never expected her mother to have this side to her; she was so vain.

But thinking about it, it's understandable. She had three daughters before, and was often teased in the village. Now that she has a grandson, she naturally wants to share him with others and receive compliments.

If she weren't heavily pregnant, she would definitely have gone back to the village to show off.

Sure enough, upon hearing this, Cheng's daughter-in-law exclaimed, "Oh dear, a boy is good! No matter if it's a boy or a girl, there will be no pressure, and life in her husband's family will be easier. Congratulations, Sister-in-law Xiao, on becoming a grandmother!"

After saying that, he smiled and looked at her belly: "This uncle and nephew were born in the same year and will grow up together. Their relationship is bound to be good."

Mother Xiao was naturally pleased to hear this: "Then I'll take your kind words."

After saying that, she touched her belly and thought to herself: My daughter gave birth to a son, which is a good omen. I hope this pregnancy will also be a son, otherwise I'm already so old, I'm afraid I won't be able to get pregnant again.

Cheng's daughter-in-law probably saw through Xiao's mother's thoughts: "Your belly is so pointed, you must be carrying a son."

Mrs. Xiao was even happier now, and the two exchanged a few more pleasantries before parting ways.

As the three entered the courtyard and were about to go into the main house, they passed by the kitchen and saw Chunxiao packing buns into her crossbody bag. She probably heard them enter the courtyard and didn't bother to wrap them in brown paper before stuffing them into the bag.

Xiao's mother immediately glanced at Fu Yancheng, after all, those buns were bought by Fu Yancheng for Chu Xue, and the person in question hadn't even eaten them yet, and Chunxiao was already doing this: "What are you doing?"

Chunxiao's face flashed with embarrassment: "It's nothing. Luo Pingping and Jiang Chunhui from my previous class helped me a lot. We were going out together today, so I thought I'd bring them some steamed buns to try, as a way of returning the favor." Hearing the commotion outside, Xiao's father came out of the room: "Have you finished your call? What's going on?"

Chu Xue looked at Chun Xiao and her face darkened: "Take it out."

Chunxiao feigned ignorance and asked, "What?"

Chu Xue was genuinely angry. She had thought that she had already deviated from the original plot, which could be considered as repaying the favor of borrowing the original body. She would try to get along with the original body as much as possible in the future, and if not, she would wish them well.

Even though Chunxiao had done some infuriating things before, he didn't hold it against her because she was implicated by the original owner in the book and suffered such a terrible fate. He thought that after a while, he would get married and leave home, and Chunxiao wouldn't be an eyesore anymore. But he didn't expect that this person would take advantage of his kindness.

It's not that I'm stingy, it's just that this person is really terrible at doing things.

Whether Fu Yancheng had eaten or not is another matter, but at least she and Xiao's mother hadn't eaten yet. She looked up at Xiao's father and asked, "Dad, have you had breakfast?"

Fearing that Chuxue would blame Chunxiao, and also afraid that Fu Yancheng would laugh at him, Xiao's father subconsciously said, "I've already eaten."

But this morning's breakfast was made by Chu Xue. The food she had served to Xiao's father earlier was still there: "Dad, how long do you intend to protect her?"

After saying that, he walked into the kitchen and reached out to pull off her crossbody bag: "I don't care what you're thinking, but Fu Yancheng bought these buns for me, so I get to decide."

"Second sister, why are you so stingy?"
