Chapter 1637: Chapter 1639: Can’t Be a Freeloader

“Just be more careful in the future.”

Chiang Xiao said, “I’ll take leave and return home next week.”

“Okay, we’ll definitely be careful.”

Qin Xiaojun and Wang Lili exchanged glances, both determined to stay away from Ye Wanqing in the future.

People with that kind of character really made them a bit scared.

When they returned, they found Xie Landi already lying in bed, with her back turned to them, seemingly asleep.

They couldn’t help but find it odd; Xie Landi usually didn’t sleep this early. She was diligent and had to do her homework, always the last to go to bed.

And Ye Wanqing was nowhere to be found.

They didn’t bother concerning themselves with Ye Wanqing’s whereabouts.

Chiang Xiao smiled secretly, thinking that nothing she said could stop Ye Wanqing from ruining herself.

The next day, after finishing the vice principal’s class, she left school and hurriedly caught the train back to City M.

Once home, Chiang Songhai and Ge Liutao seemed to have found their anchor.

Chiang Xiao had called to inquire about the pregnancy health potions from Chen Baoshen but, after some thought, decided not to prepare them for her grandmother.

She felt that her grandmother’s health had been well maintained over the years and didn’t need medication. Otherwise, if the fetus were to become too large due to excess nutrition, it would be problematic.

She only added a few drops of Spirit Spring Water to the water in the household tank, well diluted, feeling that drinking this water would be more than sufficient.

“Since Little came back, the water at home tastes much sweeter,” Ge Liutao remarked after drinking a freshly boiled cup.

Chiang Xiao spoke frankly, “Grandma, I added a bit of Potion to the water in the tank, like what we use for our tea treats.”

“No wonder,” Ge Liutao said in surprise.

She and Chiang Songhai both felt reassured.

“Also, this time I’ve come back to discuss something with you,” said Chiang Xiao.

“What is it?” Chiang Songhai asked with a start, fearing she might bring up the matter concerning Chiang Qingzhu.

Holding her grandmother’s hand, Chiang Xiao said, “Grandma needs to rest well and not be overworked, so I was thinking, for the Youqingwei tea treats, maybe you shouldn’t make them for now. I’m planning to find someone else to do it.”

Chiang Songhai and Ge Liutao hadn’t expected her to bring this up, and both were suddenly anxious.

“How can that be? Who would we find? We’re not too tired from making them; we can handle it.” They feared that due to the baby, they’d be unable to help Chiang Xiao, and wouldn’t that make them a burden?

Besides, without working and earning, what would happen when the baby is born? Would they have to rely on Chiang Xiao for support?

Letting the niece support her uncle?

Saying that out loud, where would his honor go? That would be too unfair to Chiang Xiao, too much of an injustice.

Chiang Xiao felt that with her grandmother expecting a child, making tea treats involves frequent bending and lifting, which certainly isn’t suitable.

So, she felt it still wasn’t convenient.

“It’s not that you can’t ever make them again. Actually, Grandpa can still do it alone. But making tea treats alone could be a bit exhausting.”

“It’s not exhausting, it’s not exhausting. I can do it alone,” Chiang Songhai hurried to say.

Chiang Xiao shook her head, saying, “Grandpa, I have something else to mention. The store in the Capital, I’ve already prepared to open it. The business there won’t be bad, so the demand for tea treats won’t be small, and you definitely can’t handle it alone.”

Chiang Songhai hesitated for a moment, then what should he do? Would he really end up doing nothing?

Chiang Xiao had considered this issue and definitely couldn’t let them idle around doing nothing.
