Chapter 546: Chapter 546 Xu Qiuye Takes Her Mother to School

The rural tourism business in Xujia Village is booming right now. Xu Shengcai and Xu Qiuye rushed back home on Sunday, too—their school isn’t far from home.

It’s only a two-hour train ride, and now Xu Qiuye is pregnant. Xu Shengcai was worried about his wife’s safety, so they came back this time to ask Mother Qiuye to go to the school to take care of Xu Qiuye.

Xu Shengcai and his wife don’t attend the same school, so it’s somewhat inconvenient to take care of her.

When the couple arrived, it was right at noon, and Xu Ren Guo had just come home from work. He was quite surprised to see them, "Why are you two not at school? What brought you back?

This isn’t a long holiday. It must’ve been quite the rush to come here and then go back," he said.

Xu Shengcai scratched his head, a bit embarrassed, and said, "Dad, I came back this time because I wanted Mom to do me a favor, to take care of my wife for a bit. My wife’s school is a bit far from mine, and I can’t visit her every day after school.

My wife’s belly is getting bigger and bigger. It won’t do if there’s no one to take care of her."

Upon hearing this, Xu Ren Guo was somewhat displeased, "Where’s your mom? Where did she go? Why can’t she take care of Qiuye?

Isn’t it supposed to be the mother-in-law’s job to take care of her daughter-in-law?" he asked.

Xu Shengcai awkwardly scratched his head, "My mom went to help my little sister take care of her two kids. But she did give me some money, saying it was for my mother-in-law to take care of Qiuye."

Upon hearing this, Xu Ren Guo immediately raised his chin in anger, "So giving money is so remarkable, is it? Qiuye is supposed to be taken care of by her mother-in-law.

How much money did your mom give?" Xu Ren Guo asked with glaring eyes.

Mrs. Xu’s income isn’t low nowadays—she relies entirely on the pocket money the kids give her.

Added up, it’s close to a thousand yuan a month.

She doesn’t have many expenses on a daily basis; she saves most of her money.

Even if Mrs. Xu didn’t give money to Xu Shengcai, she had some. But as a mother-in-law, not taking care of her daughter-in-law and running off to take care of her daughter’s children might sound a bit bad if word got out.

Yet, Mrs. Xu was also concerned about her daughter and could only give some money to Xu Qiuye.

"Two hundred yuan a month," Xu Shengcai said.

Xu Ren Guo’s face immediately looked surprised at this, "How much? Two hundred yuan?"

Sheesh, that’s even more than his salary for over two months.

Xu Ren Guo earns just sixty to seventy yuan a month, but now that the factory’s performance has improved, it’s increased quite a bit, and he can make seventy to eighty.

Two hundred is like three months of his salary.

His daughter’s in-laws must really have money.

"Two hundred yuan—fifty is for Qiuye to buy some food to nourish herself, and the other fifty is for the hard work of my mother-in-law."

Xu Ren Guo looked at Xu Shengcai, and his expression immediately became much gentler, "Qiuye is also a child of me and her mom; it’s natural to take care of one’s own kids.

It really must have been quite taxing for your mother-in-law," Xu Ren Guo said, glancing at his own daughter and giving her a meaningful look.

Xu Qiuye felt quite speechless, but she still took out fifty yuan and gave it to Xu Ren Guo, "This fifty yuan is for you, Dad, to make up for you taking care of yourself during this period.

The remaining fifty yuan I want to give to my mom, that’s her own hard-earned money, too. Afterwards, I’ll give you the money every month."

Xu Ren Guo, holding the fifty yuan, smiled so wide his mouth almost reached the roots of his ears.

"Alright, alright, alright. In the future, if anyone says daughters are useless, I’ll slap them a few times.

In my opinion, having daughters is the best thing; they bring back a good son-in-law. Having a son is about collecting debts, you know. Your brother is about to get married.

The bride’s family demands over two hundred yuan as a betrothal gift, plus three big gifts. All the money I’ve saved up with so much effort in my life is going to be spent on your brother’s wedding."

Xu Qiuye didn’t respond to her dad and went straight into the yard.

Mother Qiuye had just finished making lunch and brought it into the room when she looked up and saw her daughter had returned, her face immediately lit up with joy as she went to greet her.

"Why are you back at this time? Why not wait for the May Day vacation, so you could stay longer?

Coming back now is just a waste of the bus fare, and you’ll have to leave after just one night."

Xu Qiuye saw her mother’s smiling face and said, "Mom, I came back this time to take you to my school.

Shengcai rented an apartment for me there, and living off-campus is more convenient for me. I was thinking of bringing you over to take care of me for a while.

Otherwise, with my belly getting bigger, it’s going to be inconvenient to do anything.

My mother-in-law went to take care of my little aunt’s child, and as you know, Yingying doesn’t have a mother-in-law. She’s busy with school and work, plus she has two kids to take care of, so she really doesn’t have the time.

My mother-in-law thought of giving me money to let you take care of me. I’ll give Dad fifty yuan, and the remaining one hundred and fifty yuan is for you." Xu Qiuye explained, fearing her own mother might also be unhappy.

However, she understood her mother, who was reasonable and wouldn’t get angry as long as things were clearly explained.

As soon as Mother Qiuye heard her daughter’s words, it was exactly as Qiuye had predicted.

"Your mother-in-law is just being too polite. I am taking care of my own daughter, how could I take money for that!" Mother Qiuye said, and she was even given so much.

Xu Qiuye smiled, feeling warm in her heart.

She knew her mom would say that, so she directly stuffed the money into Du Donghua’s hand, "Take this money. Once we get to the city, we’ll inevitably need to buy food, things to use, and drinks.

If you take it, I won’t need to go shopping, and you can keep any extra money for yourself."

Du Donghua still felt it was too much, and she kept only fifty yuan, pushing the rest back to Xu Qiuye.

Xu Qiuye wouldn’t take it, "Mom, since I’ve been pregnant, I’ve needed to eat well at every meal to nourish my body, and it will definitely cost a fair amount of money.

Just keep the money. If you try to give it back to me, I’ll get upset."

Du Donghua, fearing her daughter might get angry and affect the baby, immediately took the money and felt a sense of relief at the same time.

Her daughter hadn’t married the wrong person, and her days were good now. She patted her daughter’s hair, smiling as she stood up and said, "You came back without telling me in advance, and I didn’t cook that much food.

You guys go ahead and eat. I’ll go to the kitchen and make you another dish."

Xu Qiuye nodded, and Du Donghua went back to the kitchen.

The old lady next door saw Xu Qiuye had come back and immediately craned her neck to look into the living room of the Xu family.

"Qiuye, weren’t you studying? Why have you come home?

Did you come back because you are pregnant and can’t continue your studies?" the old woman asked.

Xu Qiuye didn’t like Madam Liu much, but replied politely, "No, it’s just that my belly is getting bigger, and it’s not convenient for me to be alone.

I came back with my husband, thinking of taking my mom with me to look after me."

Madam Liu, hearing this, was immediately surprised and said, "Your husband came back too? It’s true; it must be tough being pregnant and going to school."

Madam Liu finished speaking and hurried back to her room, anxiously saying to her daughter, "Quickly change into something prettier. Let me tell you, Xu Qiuye’s husband is back."

Madam Liu’s daughter was displeased by these words, "What does Xu Qiuye’s husband coming back have to do with me?

Why should I change into prettier clothes? Don’t tell me you want me to compete with Xu Qiuye for a man.

That would be becoming the other woman, and I definitely don’t do that kind of thing."
