Free Web NovelChapter 648: Get-Together
Xu Mumu is really something; her family is already so wealthy, and they are cousins, yet she doesn’t know how to help them out a little. If she had helped a bit more, she wouldn’t have had to run away secretly back then, only to be sold to such a place.
Tian Fang’s face turned gloomy, and she started to hold a grudge against Xu Mumu.
Xu Mumu glanced at Tian Fang again, wondering what on earth she was thinking. Jealous of the rich, perhaps? She was speechless at that sullen look.
After placing the little fox back into its small nest, Xu Mumu shared stories about their school days with Xu Jiaojiao and the others.
That evening, Madam Chun’s cooking was once again a hit with everyone. When Xu Mumu and the others came back, they brought a whole hind leg of pork, and there was plenty of meat on it.
The evening meal was made with this meat.
"If I keep eating like this, I’m definitely going to gain weight." After eating, Xu Mumu collapsed on the sofa, unwilling to move, feeling stuffed.
"A little chubbier is even cuter." Yin Yang pinched his wife’s small hand; her soft hand felt very comfortable to touch.
"I also feel that if I eat like this every day, gaining weight is just a matter of time," said Xu Jiaojiao while patting her stomach, feeling very full. Madam Chun’s cooking was much better than Auntie Two’s, and if her stomach had more room, she’d want to eat two more bowls.
With someone to tend to her, such a big house, a handsome man, and a smart child, this was the life she’d always dreamed of. Tian Fang thought as another wave of wanting to replace Xu Mumu surged in her heart.
Tian Fang touched her own belly; she should also be capable of bearing children.
That night, Yin Yang pulled Xu Mumu for some exercise. Back at home, he was teased by his little wife all the time; bearing it until now was already his limit.
The room was soundproofed very well, so no one outside could hear anything.
In the room, finding it hard to sleep, was also Tian Fang, everything she saw today endlessly stimulating her nerves. She longed to have it all.
She took a small porcelain bottle from her purse, and her gaze grew determined.
The next morning, Xu Mumu got up, and the soreness from the entire night had already vanished. It seemed her body had gotten a bit stronger.
Yin Yang naturally noticed it too; if not for the fact that Xu Mumu was going out with Xu Jiaojiao and the others today, he would’ve pulled his little wife to make more babies.
After breakfast, Xu Mumu packed her little bag, putting everything Doudou might need inside.
Just when they were about to go out, Tian Fang made an excuse about having diarrhea and not feeling well, so she didn’t go with them.
Xu Mumu narrowed her eyes slightly but didn’t say much, just told Madam Chun to keep an eye on Tian Fang, as she was not someone easy to give up.
Xu Mumu took a few kids and set off. The place where Xu Jiaojiao and her friends arranged to meet was right in front of the high school they previously attended.
When Xu Mumu and the others arrived, several kids were already waiting there. Upon seeing Xu Jiaojiao and the others, they immediately waved excitedly. After entering university, their meetups became less frequent, although they made many new friends, they never forgot the few high school friends.
Xu Mumu walked over hand in hand with Doudou. There were four people here, two boys and two girls, all looking very energetic.
Xu Jiaojiao pulled them over to introduce them to Xu Mumu and then introduced Xu Mumu to them.
Their families were all from the provincial capital, living nearby, so they arrived relatively early.
Among these four, the tall skinny one was named Wu Changzhan, the slightly chubby boy was called Li Tai, and one of the girls, named Chu Hua, looked very pretty, dressed fashionably, and her eyes were clear and bright, giving people a good impression.
The other girl, named Shi Xiaoqiu, had a few freckles on her face, but it made her look very cute.
"Wow, Xu, you’re really beautiful," Shi Xiaoqiu said warmly. "And you already have a child; this kid is so well-behaved, much more so than my brother."
"Of course, my little nephew is the best," Xu Jiaojiao said with a grin.
"Are you called Doudou? Can I hold you?" Wu Changzhan asked, squatting down to meet the little guy’s eyes.
"Sure," the little guy nodded.
Having the little guy in his arms, Wu Changzhan was full of satisfaction. Being an only child, he often felt lonely and wished for a brother or sister.
"Xu, where do you want to go play?" Chu Hua asked with a smile. Xu Jiaojiao’s big sister seemed gentle and easy-going, a far cry from her own fiery-tempered sister.
"Jiaojiao said let’s head to the snack street by the moat, do you guys want to go?" Xu Mumu suggested with a smile.
Everyone immediately agreed with the suggestion, and Li Tai even laughed happily, "I’ve been to that snack street several times, and I know which stuff is the best, I’ll show you around."
"I knew you were the expert when it came to food." Xu Jiaojiao patted Li Tai’s shoulder.
"That’s right," the chubby boy proudly puffed out his chest.
They set off in a lively group towards the moat. The moat is west of the city; it’s several miles from the school here.
However, Xu Mumu didn’t suggest taking a direct ride there. She saw the kids were still very excited about strolling around.
Even Doudou was thrilled; he brought some money from his piggy bank, planning to buy things he liked along the way.
Watching them go from store to store, Xu Mumu helplessly smiled and joined in. Shopping really is enjoyable.
Meanwhile, back home, not long after Xu Mumu left, Yin Yang went out directly to the company. Though it was a holiday, the company still had people there.
Wanting to take advantage of being alone and win over Yin Yang, Tian Fang stomped in frustration, having to wait for another chance.
Madam Chun silently watched all this; no wonder the lady asked her to keep an eye on Tian Fang, this person’s intentions were clearly not pure.
This was still the lady’s cousin, yet she was far behind the lady’s brothers and sisters.
Oblivious to everything happening at home, Xu Mumu was now running everywhere with the kids. If not for her good stamina, she might not be able to keep up; how could children have so much energy? Was she getting old?
"Mom, I’m tired, can’t walk anymore," the little one panted, worn out. He’d never gone on such wild runs with his uncle and aunt before, and now it was hitting him.
"Mom will carry you," Xu Mumu picked up the little guy, whose forehead was sweaty. She kindly wiped it clean with a handkerchief.
"Mom, are you tired?" The little guy clung to her neck, full of reliance.
"Not tired, mom’s really strong, not tired at all," Xu Mumu laughed. The little guy was so considerate and caring.
