Chapter 417: Chapter 416: (4 more updates)

Ever since Xu Niannian left, Yang Cuihua and Xu Dawei had hired quite a few workers.

Their Butter Noodle House was now the largest one in Nancheng County.

Moreover, business had been booming and was always packed with customers.

By now, the couple had already saved a good sum of money in the bank.

Yang Cuihua’s greatest pleasure had become counting money.

Having improved their lives, Yang Cuihua felt she had rejuvenated by quite a few years and would pull Xu Dawei out to buy groceries every day, preparing dinner with abundant leisure time.

She figured that if her daughter was good at cooking, she as a mother surely couldn’t be too shabby.

Every evening, she tirelessly cooked up a feast of meat and fish for the family.

Now that they had money, Yang Cuihua was much more generous toward her two sons, no longer controlling their food intake.

Xu Zhicheng was still okay, remaining a slim youth, only his complexion was rosier due to a better life.

Xu Duoyu, on the other hand, was different; the little foodie could eat to his heart’s content and never stopped until he was completely stuffed.

He had now become a total little fatty, plump and chubby, and even grown taller.

He was quite the rascal at school, and whenever his kindergarten teacher mentioned parent-teacher meetings, Yang Cuihua would tell Xu Duoyu, "You have no mother; I picked you up from a trash heap, go find your real mom."

Yang Cuihua said it with conviction, even making a scary face at him.

Xu Duoyu was instantly scared, believing that he was picked up and that he couldn’t be naughty anymore, or else his mom might not want him anymore.

Xu Zhicheng would always listen to Yang Cuihua’s threats toward Xu Duoyu with an accustomed air.

Ever since he was young, his mom used to scare them like this.

He had long known that this was his biological mother.

For sure.

Among the Xu brothers, aside from disliking Xu Niannian, they harbored frustration towards Yang Cuihua.

It was hard to accept that their own mother showed affection only towards their sister, treating them harshly and not providing sufficient food and warmth.

It was after Xu Niannian changed and Xu Zhicheng stopped feeling jealous of her that they slowly realized.

Their mom was the classic case of a tough exterior with a soft heart.

She was biased, but it was not that she didn’t love them. In the past, when they couldn’t eat enough or dress warmly, it was because the family was poor, and even their parents never had their fill.

Several times at night, Xu Zhicheng would find Yang Cuihua sneaking over to cover him up with a blanket.

Of course, if he kicked the blanket off, aside from covering him up, Yang Cuihua would always scold, "Freeze to death, you good-for-nothing!"

After seeing all this, and feeling the same love for his sister as he did for his older brother, the resentment in Xu Zhicheng’s heart had completely disappeared.

When the person their mom favored became someone they also loved, the resentment vanished utterly.

On weekends, Xu Zhicheng and Xu Duoyu would run around in the shop.

Xu Duoyu was there to eat, and Xu Zhicheng was there to watch over Xu Duoyu.

When Xu Zhiqiang arrived, Xu Duoyu was wolfing down food, Xu Zhicheng was sighing, Xu Dawei was dozing off, and Yang Cuihua was briskly counting money.

Xu Zhiqiang now dressed like a successful businessman, wearing a neatly tailored suit, exuding maturity and confidence in his expression.

Seeing Xu Zhiqiang enter the shop, the busy staff members hurriedly greeted, "Young boss, you’ve arrived."

Xu Zhiqiang nodded.

Xu Zhicheng and Xu Duoyu, seeing Xu Zhiqiang, joyfully ran over to him.

"Bro, you’re here," Xu Zhicheng said, his joy showing.

Xu Duoyu, with a mouthful of noodles, directly hugged Xu Zhiqiang’s thigh, still chewing continuously.

Little Pang charged over with no small amount of strength.

Luckily, Xu Zhiqiang exercised every day.

Picking him up, Xu Zhiqiang immediately felt his arm grow much heavier.

Yang Cuihua had already seen Xu Zhiqiang arrive, glanced over, and continued counting money.

Nothing was more important than counting money.

The reason Xu Zhiqiang came today was mainly to share the great news of Xu Niannian’s pregnancy with Yang Cuihua.

Seeing his mom indifferent, he helplessly held Xu Duoyu and went over to her.

"Don’t block the light, move over," Yang Cuihua extended her hand to push him away.

Xu Zhiqiang said, "Sis is pregnant."

"I said don’t block... what!"

Yang Cuihua cried out sharply, jerking so hard that the money in her hand spilled out and scattered all over the floor.

Ignoring the money on the ground, Yang Cuihua grabbed Xu Zhiqiang and asked, "You said your sister is pregnant?"

Xu Duoyu, seeing money on the floor, struggled over to pick it up delightfully, hiding it in his little hat.

Hehe, he had money now.

Xu Zhicheng couldn’t bear to watch his silly younger brother’s antics.

Xu Zhiqiang had expected Yang Cuihua to be excited; he was excited too when he heard the news.

"Yes, Sis is pregnant," he said happily.

With the confirmation, Yang Cuihua made a quick decision, "No way, I have to be there to watch."

Hearing Yang Cuihua say this, Xu Zhiqiang internally sighed that his grandmother really had foresight.

He conveyed the old lady’s exact words to Yang Cuihua, "Grandma said there’s no need to worry, she’s there to watch over her."

How could Yang Cuihua be assured? That was her precious eldest daughter; she wasn’t at ease with anyone else looking after her.

She had to go in person.

"No way, I need to go back; Zhiqiang, you watch the shop for me, I’m going to buy a ticket now."

Hearing that they were going to see his sister, Xu Duoyu cheerfully clutched his chubby hands, "Duoyu wants to go too."

Considering how she had ignored the advice from the mother-in-law, and needing an excuse or else she’d be scolded later, Yang Cuihua agreed instantly, "Good, Mom will take you with her."
