Chapter 1243: Chapter 1237: If I had Known This Would Happen, Why Bother in the First Place?_1 Chapter 1243: Chapter 1237: If I had Known This Would Happen, Why Bother in the First Place?_1 Chu Xiaoqiao thought about what Qin Xue had said, about not letting her family worry about her safety. Otherwise, sheâd move directly into Qin Xueâs place.
âSo, just your grandmother is going?â Zhao Xuezhi asked softly.
âAnd me.â Chu Xiaoqiao responded cheerfully to her motherâs murmur. But she had no clue that those three words inflicted ten thousand wounds on her motherâs heart. The feeling of being left out while her daughter was invited was unspeakable.
But who could be blamed? If you make a mistake, you have to bear the consequences. Zhao Xuezhi forced down her bitterness.
âYour grandmother is in the garden planting flowers, go tell her.â Zhao Xuezhi thought, it was okay if her daughter and mother-in-law accepted the invitation, at least they werenât completely leaving her in the lurch.
âAlright, mum, take care.â Chu Xiaoqiao said as she walked towards the back garden.
In their courtyard, like those of other founding heroes, each family had a small yard. It served as a place for farming or gardening. Though the area was small, it kept the elders occupied, preventing them from being too bored.
âOkay, be sensible. Donât always hang around outside.â Zhao Xuezhi didnât know that Chu Xiaoqiao was now helping Qin Xue manage a shop, and imagined her to be as idle as she used to be.
âGrandma, Iâm back. Guess what good news I have to tell youâ. Chu Xiaoqiao came to Miao Qingqingâs side without paying any attention to her mother, spoke in a mysterious tone, trying to pique her grandmotherâs curiosity.
âHave you found some money?â Miao Qingqing asked Chu Xiaoqiao without raising her head, assuming there would be no other good news for a granddaughter who was running a store.
âGrandma, youâre so materialistic. The first thing that comes to your mind is always money.â Chu Xiaoqiao was dispirited, considering whether to pursue the conversation.
âNot materialistic. Itâs just that youâve never experienced tough times. Otherwise, you wouldnât think talk about money is materialistic.â Miao Qingqing raised her head to look at her granddaughter. It seemed that she was living too comfortably to understand the hardships of life.
âGrandma, thatâs not what I meant.â Chu Xiaoqiao countered. She had endured hardships when she was young, and didnât always enjoy good food and comforts.
âThen tell me, whatâs the matter?â Miao Qingqing asked after filling the last shovel of soil and cleaning her hands.
âMy sister-in-law asked you to their house for dinner tomorrow.â Chu Xiaoqiao didnât beat around the bush.
âReally? I havenât seen them for a while. I miss them very much.â Miao Qingqing thought it was truly good news.
âYes, I came back just to let you know. My sister-in-law and others are still outside waiting for me. I must go now, I wonât be back tonight.â Chu Xiaoqiao wanted to slip away quickly after delivering the message.
âIs Qin Xue outside? Who else is there? Why didnât you invite them in?â Miao Qingqing didnât care for her shovel anymore. She started to move outside while blaming her granddaughter.
âGrandma, I feel wronged. I invited my sister-in-law on your behalf, but she refused. What could I do?â Then Chu Xiaoqiao told her grandmother about An Hao.
âThat girl is simply too kind. Where are they now? I will go to see her and the two children.â Miao Qingqing didnât mention the grandson, she knew he would be at school and wouldnât have come.
âMum, where are you going?â Zhao Xuezhi asked as she saw her mother-in-law and daughter leaving.
âQin Xue has come to the courtyard, I am going to see her and the two great-grandchildren.â Miao Qingqing didnât want to say this, but after glancing at her daughter-in-law, she sighed and spoke it out.
âMum, IâŠâ Zhao Xuezhi wanted to say she would go too, but before she could finish her sentence, Miao Qingqing interrupted her.
âItâs better if you donât show up in front of them just yet, or the relationship that has just started to mend could turn sour again.â Miao Qingqing interrupted her, regretting why she had done what she did in the past.
