"Xiao Chu, are you going to school the day after tomorrow?"

"Yes, I'm going back to Shenzhen tomorrow."

Time flies. She was a little reluctant to go back. The drama in Kyoto was getting more and more exciting.

"Have lunch at home. After lunch, have your brother take you to the mall to buy things. Let him buy you whatever you like."

"Sister-in-law, no need. I heard that Luo Yuekai, that little fat boy, is throwing a tantrum and refusing to eat. I want to go to the Luo family to see him."

Su Qingyan smiled helplessly at Xia Yichu's gloating expression.

"Okay, come over for dinner tomorrow and I'll have Zhiheng take you shopping."

Xia Zhiheng still won't let her go out. Yesterday, he borrowed a car from Zhiqian and picked her up downstairs. When they got to the old house, he immediately made her go upstairs, only letting her come out for a short while around noon.

He'd heard from his grandmother that if a woman didn't take proper care of herself during her postpartum period, she'd develop health problems later on, and he didn't want Su Qingyan to suffer. So he wouldn't let her go out, made her come straight home after get off work, and wouldn't let her do anything.

"Sister-in-law, I don't need anything. Shenzhen has everything. I don't want to carry a bunch of stuff back with me, it's too tiring."

"That's true."

"Sister-in-law, don't move. Here, take the child. I'll go wash the dishes."

After Su Qingyan finished her brown sugar and egg soup, she stood up to get the bowl to wash, but Xia Yichu called her back.

"It's nothing, just washing some dishes."

"No, the water is too cold. If you don't take care of yourself properly during your postpartum period, you'll develop health problems later in life."

"You're quite knowledgeable for a young girl like you. Zhiheng and I only learned these things from Grandma and Aunt Chunhua. By the way, where did Aunt Chunhua go?"

Xia Yichu's hand holding the bowl froze. In her past life, she had been pregnant with Liu Yaohui's child. She miscarried when she was over six months pregnant. At the time, she was hospitalized, and Xu Yumei and Liu Yaohui left after taking her to the hospital.

An older woman took pity on her and cooked extra food for her daughter-in-law, always telling her that the leftovers were for her to eat.

Seeing that no one was taking care of her, she refused to say anything when asked. When the old woman took her daughter-in-law home from the hospital, she reminded Xia Yichu to be careful during her postpartum recovery.

She said that even though her child was so big and she had miscarried, she still needed to go through the same postpartum period. Xia Yichu unconsciously wrote it down, even though she had just said it casually.

"Xiao Chu, Xiao Chu, why are you spacing out again? Did something happen?"

Su Qingyan looked at Xia Yichu with a worried expression. Was she blaming her grandparents for not pursuing the Yang family's responsibility yesterday?

"Sister-in-law, I'm fine. Brother Zhiheng said that Aunt Chunhua went to cook for Luo Yuekai, so I went to wash the dishes."

Xia Yichu went to wash the dishes. The baby rubbed against Su Qingyan's chest, probably because he was hungry. Su Qingyan went to the room to breastfeed the baby with a worried expression.

After washing the dishes, Xia Yichu saw Su Qingyan feeding the baby in the room, so she didn't go in. She sat on the sofa and watched TV.

"Xiao Chu, is your sister-in-law still sleeping?"

Pei Shizhou and Xia Zhiheng returned from grocery shopping, but Xia Zhiheng didn't see Su Qingyan when they entered the house.

"No, she's feeding the baby in her room."

"Oh, then you all sit down. I'll go cook; your sister-in-law will be hungry soon."

Xia Zhiheng carried the groceries to the kitchen, and Pei Shizhou came over and sat on the sofa to drink the water that Xia Yichu had poured for him earlier.

"Don't worry, I just cooked two brown sugar eggs for my sister-in-law."

"Xiao Chu, you're so kind. When you come to work in Kyoto, my son will also be able to work, and I'll have him take care of you. Don't worry, I'll definitely train my son well so you can use him right away when you come to Kyoto."

Xia Zhiheng was very satisfied; no wonder his wife talked about Xia Yichu eight times a day. She was truly considerate, and even more so towards her sister-in-law, Qingyan.

"Are you sure you didn't send the child to me just to spend some time alone with your sister-in-law?"

"Yes, Yichu, you mustn't be fooled. Zhiheng definitely thinks that way."

Don't even think about sending the child to Xia Yichu; he's only two months younger than Xia Zhiheng. Xia Zhiheng already has a child, and who knows when he'll be able to win Xia Yichu's heart. Even if they do, they can't get married immediately; she's still studying.

"I hadn't even thought of this possibility until you mentioned it. This is quite nice. Xiao Chu, come to Kyoto soon and help me and your sister-in-law take care of our son."

"Yes, you need to come to Kyoto soon. But your sister-in-law won't let you take care of the child. Let your brother take care of him, and I'll take you out to eat, drink, and have fun."

Su Qingyan closed the door and walked over, saying, "The child has eaten and fallen asleep."

"Alright, I'll be waiting. Sister-in-law, it's getting late, I need to go to the Luo family's house."

"Okay, you must come to my house for dinner before you go back to Shenzhen tomorrow."

"Okay, I'll come over at noon."

It was already past eleven o'clock when Xia Yichu and Pei Shizhou arrived at the Luo family's house. They had gone shopping and were a little late.

"Why are you here?"

Xia Guofang opened the door, her face haggard. Seeing Xia Yichu and Pei Shizhou, her expression worsened. Luo Yuechuan was upstairs with his younger brother, Xia Zhiqian was catching up on sleep on the sofa, he had just woken up when Xia Yichu knocked, and Chunhua was cooking in the kitchen.

"I heard that Yue Kai hadn't eaten for two meals, so I specially bought some things and went to visit him."

Come in.

Hearing this, Xia Guofang's expression softened a bit, though she wondered when Xia Yichu had become so kind.

"Xiao Chu, Brother Shi Zhou."

Xia Zhiqian was sitting on the sofa in a bad state. He had been exhausted by Luo Yuekai last night and still had a headache. He only felt better after taking a nap on the sofa this morning.

"Brother Zhiqian, where's the chubby kid?"

"In his room"

"Shizhou, hurry, grab the things and let's go upstairs."

Xia Yichu talked as she walked, and Pei Shizhou immediately followed, leaving Xia Zhiqian bewildered.

"Xia Yichu, what do you mean? My Xiao Kai isn't fat, he's just muscular."

Xia Guofang complained from below, but Xia Yichu ignored her. Xia Zhiqian, thinking of something, followed her upstairs.

"Xiao Chuan, I bought you lots of food, come out and eat quickly."

Xia Yichu pushed open Luo Yuekai's bedroom door. Luo Yuekai was lying on the bed with his eyes closed, and it was unclear whether he was asleep or not. Luo Yuechuan was doing his homework at the table.

"Sister Xiao Chu"

"Let's go out and get something good to eat."

Xia Yichu pulled Luo Yuechuan away. Luo Yuechuan looked at his younger brother on the bed. He had just heard his brother's stomach rumbling.

"My younger brother..."

"Little fatty, do you want to get up and eat something?"

"I won't eat it"

Luo Yuekai said weakly that he didn't want to hear the word "eat" right now, but he had to endure it for Aunt Mei's sake. He was so hungry, he couldn't take it anymore. Back home, the tricks Aunt Mei had taught him were useless; he had someone with him the whole time, so he couldn't sneak any food.

"Look, he didn't want to eat it himself, it's not that I wouldn't give it to him. Let's go."

"Sister Xiaochu, my mom told me to look after my little brother."

"It's alright, I'll ask your brother Shizhou to bring a chair over. We'll eat by the door, that way you can eat while keeping an eye on your brother. Shizhou, bring a chair, let's eat here."

"it is good"

Pei Shizhou handed the things to Xia Yichu, then went to the living room to fetch chairs.

"Xiao Chuan, carry these things. Zhi Qian, come on, let's go inside and move the table."

Xia Zhiqian was still wondering where to move the table when Xia Yichu led him to Luo Yuekai's room and took everything off his desk, saying, "Brother Zhiqian, come and help me quickly."

"Okay."

Luo Yuekai was so angry when he saw them move his desk away that he closed his eyes and went to sleep.
