Chapter 551 The Rebirth of a Noble Concubine from a bygone era (Part 26)

Didn't I buy some good stuff?

Xiangxiang placed the things she was carrying on the living room table, arranging them one by one.

Xiangxiang smiled and took out the things, saying, "I went to great lengths to get all of these from the countryside. There are fresh eggs, red dates, and a clean old hen! You're in your late pregnancy now, so you need to take good care of yourself. There's not much fruit available now, so I bought pears and apples. Xiaoqin, you can make do with these for now."

Looking at the pile of things in front of her, Lu Xiaoqin was deeply moved! Since she married into the Feng family, she had never suffered any hardship.

Sure enough, as soon as she got pregnant, her mother-in-law started searching everywhere for all sorts of delicious food to nourish her body, as if by magic.

Even one's own mother wouldn't be this bad!

Indeed, ever since Lu's mother learned about her youngest daughter's comfortable life in her husband's family, she had been incredibly envious, though she didn't say it aloud. She kept saying that as a mother-in-law herself, she really couldn't treat her daughter-in-law like her own daughter.

Lu's mother was also worried that her youngest daughter was being spoiled by the Feng family and would become unruly, so she would come over from time to time to play the "bad guy" and give her a good talking-to.

However, Lu Xiaoqin was not the kind of person who didn't know what was good for her. She felt that with a mother-in-law like Aunt Xiangxiang, even if her husband wasn't great, she could tolerate it for the sake of her mother-in-law!

Right now, Xiaoqin is fawning over her mother-in-law, saying, "Mom, you make me so much delicious food every day, I'm going to get all round and plump!"

Upon hearing this, Xiangxiang stopped what she was doing, looked at Xiaoqin carefully, and immediately shook her head in denial: "Who said that? Where are you fat? You're eating for two now, I'm just worried you won't be able to finish. If you can eat, then eat more!"

Xiaoqin happily took Xiangxiang's hand. "Mom, I know you're doing this for my and the baby's good. But don't overwork yourself. Finding these things must have taken a lot of effort, right?"

Xiangxiang gently patted Xiaoqin's hand, "What's a little hardship? You're carrying the Feng family's child. As the grandmother, what's a little suffering and fatigue compared to that!"

Just then, Feng Chengxi returned. Upon seeing the things on the table, he jokingly said to his mother, "Mom, you've brought the whole market home!" Because he married Xiaoqin, Feng Chengxi now gets along quite well with his family.

Xiangxiang glared at him. "You're always joking. Your wife is pregnant, she needs to take good care of herself. You should pay more attention to her and stop being so busy with work all the time."

Feng Chengxi nodded quickly, looking at his wife's big belly, and said affectionately, "Mom, don't worry, I know. Xiaoqin, thank you for your hard work."

Xiaoqin felt a little shy under her husband's gaze. Touching the baby in her belly, she felt as sweet as if she had eaten honey: "With Mom and you all taking care of me, I'm not tired at all."

Not only is it not hard work, she often secretly rejoices, feeling that she has truly married the right person! The man is steady and reliable, and her parents-in-law are kind.

A good husband's family is a woman's second right choice; the first is being born into the right family. Xiaoqin thinks she is very lucky, both choices were amazing!

Seeing how well the young couple loved each other, Xiangxiang finally felt relieved.

She's been really exhausted lately, running around doing all that stuff, she's really worried herself sick. Even if she hasn't done anything great, she's still put in a lot of effort.

If the eldest dares to say she's biased again, Xiangxiang has already figured out how to retaliate.

Now that Xiangxiang has gone out, all the old ladies and grandmothers in the compound praise her as a generous and perfect mother-in-law.

To prove she wasn't a biased mother, Xiangxiang treated her daughter-in-law with utmost care after Feng Chengxi got married.

Although there may be some minor flaws in this act of kindness, the intention is good. We should judge by actions, not intentions, because no one is perfect.

Regardless, Feng Chengxi and Lu Xiaoqin were genuinely moved.

Just look at how often Feng Changqing talks about how much he cares for his wife; you can tell that Xiangxiang is truly devoted to her.

No sooner had Xiangxiang climbed into bed than Feng Changqing pulled her into his arms and began massaging her to relax her muscles.

Feeling his wife's stiff shoulders, Feng Changqing couldn't help but grumble again, "Your eldest son's wife is pregnant, so don't worry so much! Chengxi is such a big man, can't he take good care of his own wife?"

"I've already taken ninety-nine steps, and I'm just one step away from giving up. How can I let go? Unless the young couple moves out." Otherwise, wouldn't the good mother-in-law image she's worked so hard to build be ruined?

Feng Changqing continued massaging Xiangxiang's shoulders, laughing as he said, "Tell me, why did you put yourself on such a high pedestal? Now that you want to come down, you're too embarrassed to even offer me a ladder. You're just asking for trouble!"

Xiangxiang is now in a bit of a dilemma. She and her daughter-in-law usually get along so well that she can't slack off for a while. Besides, Xiaoqin is already in her late pregnancy, and she really can't let go of her worries.

Xiangxiang sat up, slapped away Feng Changqing's outstretched hand, and said irritably, "Stop nagging. You'd be better off helping me think of a solution. Or we could wait until Xiaoqin gives birth and then have the couple move out. Didn't the eldest son get a house?"

That way, she won't have to pretend to be a kind and gentle grandmother in front of her grandchildren anymore.

Feng Changqing nodded with a smile, pondering his eldest son's recent performance and looking at the current atmosphere in Beijing, which was indeed not very good.

So he suggested, "Okay, the eldest brother has been doing quite well lately. Let me find someone and transfer him to Yancheng for a few years of training. As long as the eldest brother leaves Beijing, his wife will definitely take the children with him."

What Feng Changqing could think of, Xiangxiang naturally knew as well. Jiayu had been in the countryside for so many years, it was time for him to come back; the children at home couldn't all stay cooped up in Beijing.

So Xiangxiang readily agreed, but she added, "However, we have to wait until Xiaoqin gives birth before we go. Otherwise, now that the eldest has run away, I'll have to take care of Xiaoqin's affairs all by myself! I'm not happy about that."

Feng Changqing hummed in agreement and said, "Of course I know that, but I need to let Chengxi know in advance. The fourth brother has just started working, so I'll find him a place further away so he can gain experience."

His eldest daughter and his second son, who had been away from home for many years, were the only ones left at home. Those who were eyeing his family had nothing to say about it.

True to his word, Feng Changqing, after his eldest daughter-in-law gave birth to the third big, healthy boy in the Feng family and finished her postpartum confinement, had Feng Chengxi pack his bags and take his child and wife to Yan City.

But plans can't keep up with changes; the two of them were leaving, but they left their two grown children at home.

It's all because Xiangxiang is too good at being a mother-in-law. When Xiaoqin thought about going to such a far place, it would be inconvenient for her to take care of three children by herself, so she left her eldest and second sons with Xiangxiang.

No matter how much Xiangxiang tried to persuade her not to be separated from the children, Xiaoqin felt that her mother-in-law would definitely be able to take care of the children, so she left the two children at home for Xiangxiang to educate.
