Chapter 1242: Chapter 1236 Unexpected_1 Chapter 1242: Chapter 1236 Unexpected_1 âSister-in-law, are you heading back?â Li Zhao asked from the living room, looking up from the report he was reading as Qin Xue and the others came out,
âYes, Chu Molin is coming back this afternoon, so we need to leave. Otherwise, heâll come home to an empty house.â Qin Xue smiled.
âMy mom was hoping to make you stay for dinner before you leave.â Upon hearing this, Li Zhao wasnât sure whether to urge them to stay or not.
âMaybe next time, not today. As for An Hao, youâll need to put in a bit more effort. Add some perilla when you cook fish, it enhances the flavor and eliminates any fishiness.â Qin Xue recommended, remembering how beneficial perilla was for health.
âAlright, thank you, sister-in-law. I donât know what we would have done without you today. Even with all our efforts, we couldnât help Anâan much.â The Lis had tried everything they could, but to little effect.
âNo need for thanks, sheâs just overwhelmed by the child. Spend more time with her, help out with the baby, and let her rest. I checked her pulse before we left and there doesnât seem to be any problems, so you donât need to worry.â Qin Xue reassured them as she left.
âAlright then, I wonât insist on keeping you here. We can have dinner another time.â Li Zhao, knowing that Chu Molin was on his way home, didnât want him to arrive to an empty house.
âSure, after An Hao finishes her confinement period, bring the kid and come over to our place for dinner.â Qin Xue would have invited them over the next day, but An Haoâs confinement period wasnât over yet and Li Zhao should stay with her, so she decided to extend the invitation for a later date.
âOkay.â Li Zhao wasnât formal with Qin Xue since they were familiar with each other. Being too polite could even make things uncomfortable.
After Qin Xue shared some tips with Li Zhao on how to make tastier meals, they bid farewell to The Lis.
Itâs not that the meals at The Lis wasnât good. Itâs just that people in their confinement period are supposed to eat bland food, which can leave the mouth tasteless and affect their appetite, which is a normal occurrence.
âSister-in-law, are we going back immediately? Or do we want to stop by our place?â Chu Xiaoqiao had planned to take the baby home to show his paternal grandparents. But with the delay at An Haoâs, she didnât have the time.
Now she wanted Qin Xue and others to visit their place, but she didnât know how to invite them home. So she chose to suggest visiting their own home instead, so as not to force her familyâs visit onto Qin Xue and risk making her feel uncomfortable. Chu Xiaoqiao was indeed very clever in many ways.
âNo need, arenât you and grandma going over to our place for lunch tomorrow? Sheâll see the baby then, so weâll go ahead first.â Qin Xue didnât feel like making the trip, and would only go after Chu Molin had made his peace with The Chus.
She had always believed that as husband and wife, she shouldnât do things that Molin disapproved of, as it could harm their relationship.
âAlright then, you guys wait for me at the gate. Iâll go tell grandma to come over for lunch tomorrow, and Iâll stay over at your place tonight.â Chu Xiaoqiao handed the baby to Xue Ling, and before Qin Xue could respond, she ran off.
âMaster, should we wait for her in that pavilion over there, or outside?â Xue Ling pointed at a nearby pavilion and asked Qin Xue.
âLetâs wait in the pavilion.â Qin Xue thought itâd be tiring to stand holding the baby, so sitting would be better.
âGrandma, Iâm back.â Chu Xiaoqiao hollered as she entered the house.
âIf youâre back, youâre back. No need to holler.â Zhao Xuezhi scolded her daughter as she emerged from the kitchen.
âMom, what are you doing at home? Didnât you have work today?â Chu Xiaoqiao was surprised to find her mother at home.
Normally, her mother was very busy. Seeing her at this time was really unexpected, hence Xiaoqiaoâs surprise.
âI attended a meeting, just came back to grab some stuff. Whatâs all this excitement about?â Zhao Xuezhi asked her daughter.
âOh, itâs nothing really. Sister-in-law Qin asked grandma to come over for lunch tomorrow, and Iâm going to stay at brotherâs place tonight. So, I thought Iâd let everyone at home know.â Chu Xiaoqiao didnât want her family to worry, so she thought it best to let them know.
