Dressed as a little fool: marry and have children

Chapter 173 Liu Xiuxiu's Change of Mindset

Yu Shui was patiently coaxing her crying nephew Chang An. She gently touched Chang An's dry little butt and knew that the little guy was hungry.

She looked outside the house, but she couldn't see her sister-in-law Liu Xiuxiu, and she couldn't help but feel a little worried. After hesitating for a while, Yu Shui decided to get some food for Chang An first, otherwise she would cry so much that her throat would be damaged.

So she quickly made a bowl of milk powder with warm water, then gently picked up Chang'an and fed him little by little with a spoon.

Chang'an sucked the pacifier with his small mouth, and looked at Yu Shui with curiosity with his big black eyes. Yu Shui coaxed him with soft words until the little guy drank up the whole bowl of milk powder.

After drinking the milk, Chang'an's mood obviously stabilized. He kicked his legs, played with his little hands happily, and giggled from time to time.

At this moment, Liu Xiuxiu pushed the door open and walked in. She saw Yu Shui taking care of Chang An, and a trace of apology appeared on her face: "Yu Shui, I've kept you waiting for a long time. I'll go wash my hands first, and come back to feed Chang An later." After that, she turned and went into the bathroom.

Yu Shui stood up while hugging Chang An and asked with some concern: "Sister-in-law, why did you come back so late today? Didn't you get off work around 11 o'clock in the afternoon?" There was a hint of worry in her tone.

After Liu Xiuxiu washed her hands, water droplets still hung on her fingertips. She wiped her hands with a towel while listening to the rain. Her brows were slightly furrowed, and her expression revealed a hint of displeasure.

She explained, "Yushui, I just wanted to save some food, so I ate in the cafeteria before coming back. This way you won't have to work too hard, and you won't have to cook for me every day."

After saying that, she walked forward and took Chang'an from Yu Shui's hands. She lifted her clothes skillfully and prepared to feed Chang'an. However, Chang'an had just eaten and was not cooperating at the moment. No matter how Liu Xiuxiu coaxed him, he just turned his head away and refused to drink milk.

Liu Xiuxiu looked at Changan with a puzzled expression on her face. She turned to look at Yushui, with a hint of blame in her tone: "Yushui, did you feed Changan something? Otherwise, why would he not drink milk?"

Although Liu Xiuxiu was asking, she had already accepted the answer in her heart. Since she started working, the task of taking care of Changan fell on Yu Shui.

She originally thought that Yu Shui returned to Sijiu City to take care of her during her confinement and Chang'an, but He Yuzhu rejected her request yesterday. He Yuzhu even planned to spend money to hire an outsider to take care of Chang'an, which made Liu Xiuxiu very dissatisfied.

So, without waiting for Yu Shui to explain, her tone became a little impolite: "Yu Shui, you have also graduated from high school, don't you know that the child is still young and can't be fed anything random?" Her face was full of dissatisfaction and blame, as if it was all Yu Shui's fault.

He Yushui looked at Liu Xiuxiu, her bright eyes full of grievances. She pursed her lips slightly and tried to explain the situation: "Sister-in-law, you really misunderstood. You didn't come back just now, and Changan kept crying. I really had no choice but to make some milk powder for him to drink."

At this point, He Yushui's voice was already filled with tears, her eyes were slightly red, and she looked very pitiful. She continued to explain: "Sister-in-law, I really didn't feed him anything messy, I was just afraid that Chang'an would hurt his throat by crying."

Liu Xiuxiu listened to He Yushui's explanation of grievance, and her irritability became stronger. She felt that He Yushui was blaming her for coming back late, which led to her feeding Changan with milk powder.

Liu Xiuxiu's mood became even worse and she wanted to get angry, but when she thought of how much He Yuzhu cared about his sister, she tried to calm herself down.

She took a deep breath and tried to slow down her tone as much as possible and said, "Yu Shui, I'm sorry. I was too worried about Chang'an, so I was a little excited just now and misunderstood you. I hope you can forgive me." Although she apologized verbally, her expression still revealed a hint of displeasure and coldness.

After hearing Liu Xiuxiu's apology, He Yushui felt a little relieved. She understood that Liu Xiuxiu was so excited because she was worried about Changan, and her sister-in-law had always been nice to her.

So, she tried to make her voice sound more relaxed, and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, I really don't blame you. Look, it's getting late, you should go to work quickly, I will coax Changan to sleep."

As she spoke, He Yushui reached out and took Chang'an from Liu Xiuxiu's hand, rocking her gently to coax the child to sleep. Her movements were gentle and skillful.

Liu Xiuxiu glanced at the wall clock and saw that it was indeed getting late. She had to hurry to the street office. So she turned around and went out, rushing to the street office.

Along the way, Liu Xiuxiu's mind kept flashing back to the conversation she had just had with He Yushui. She thought to herself that she had to find an opportunity to tactfully complain to He Yuzhu in the evening, so that He Yuzhu would have some grudge against He Yushui.

In this way, He Yushui's job search might be affected, so she could continue to ask He Yushui to help take care of Chang'an.

Thinking of this, Liu Xiuxiu couldn't help but reveal a smug smile on her face. She felt that her plan was very comprehensive, which could not only solve Chang'an's care problem, but also make He Yushui lose his job opportunity. So, she quickened her pace and walked quickly towards the direction of the street office.

At this time, He Yushui, after coaxing little Chang'an to sleep, sat by the bed and thought of He Daqing who was far away in Baoding. The more she thought about it, the more she felt wronged, and the tears she had just held back suddenly burst out like a flood that broke through the dam, and continued.

She covered her face with her hands, not wanting to disturb Chang'an who had just fallen asleep. Tears flowed through her fingers, soaking her palms. She felt a pang of pain in her heart.

After crying for a while, He Yushui felt that all her grievances seemed to have been cried out. She wiped away her tears, washed her face, and tried to calm herself down.

She stood up and went into the kitchen to prepare lunch. Because Changan kept crying and a series of other things happened, she had no time to eat.
