Dressed up as a Real Mom

Chapter 21: Under the Light

The little kid's shout was like a thunderstorm. He Xiaoyun was fortunate not to fall and hearing the child's words, she realized that her hand was being held by Wei Jianwei and hurriedly broke free from his grasp.

The atmosphere was a bit weird for a while. The wrist part where he held her showed his fingerprints where his red handprints contrasted with her white skin. The heat there seemed to be higher than elsewhere, and it was hard to ignore.

He Xiaoyun resisted the urge to touch the handprints, "Let's go home."

After He Xiaoyun talked, she took Wei Yuanhang away, Wei Jianwei stilled behind them for a while before slowly following along.

The next day, He Xiaoyun got up before dawn, went to the market alone, bought chicken, eggs, and some dried fruits, and went to her natal family.

Seeing these gifts, Li Yuegui hurriedly said, "There's no celebration today, what is that for? You, take it back as soon as possible."

He Xiaoyun put the back basket on the ground as she sat down and panted, she then said, "I went out early this morning and haven't had a drink. Mom, are you going to drive me out?"

Upon hearing this, Li Yuegui immediately poured a bowl of tea, and asked, "Have you had breakfast?"

"Yeah." He Xiaoyun took the bowl of tea and drank it, she didn't have the spare time to speak.

"Slow down, don't choke."

After drinking the tea in one breath, He Xiaoyun sighed for a long time. Seeing her mother was about to talk about the early topic just now, she diverted her attention, "Did the eldest sister tell you when she went to us yesterday?"

"Say what? She came back to our house and sat for a while and then left."

"She went to mine first yesterday, saying that your 50th birthday next month, while Jianwei is still at home, she said that it's better to celebrate it in advance."

Li Yuegui waved her hands, "I'm so old already, and I'm not a kid to celebrate my birthday again, I'll just be one year older after my birthday. What's the trouble with all of that?"

"Mom, that's not the same. Being fifty years old means almost half of your whole life," He Xiaoyun said, "I still want to have fun with my family. Besides, Jianwei also agreed to come here tomorrow. You won't welcome him?"

He Xiaoyun knew her mother liked her son-in-law, so she deliberately brought Wei Jianwei out. After hearing her words, Li Yuegui's attitude of refusal was not so firm anymore, but she still insisted: "Then you guys can just visit me. The gifts and the chicken, you need to get it back or else your in-laws won't be that happy."

He Xiaoyun assuredly patted her hand: "Don't worry, mom. I have already told my mother-in-law about this and she originally wanted to gift a chicken but I refused because the chicken must be kept for laying eggs. This chicken I gifted you is bought from the store."

"How much does it cost?" Li Yuegui felt a little relieved, but still can't help feeling distressed.

"It doesn't matter how much was it. Tomorrow, you and dad don't have to do anything. Eldest sister will bring meat and noodles back. Just leave the cooking of food on the stove to us, juniors. You old people can just tease your grandchildren and enjoy a day." He Xiaoyun smiled.

Li Yuegui groaned, "I can enjoy the life of a toiled ghost for a lifetime. Only if your sister successfully gave birth to a boy, If you and Jianwei have a good relationship, and if your brother will have good future prospects, I will have the heart to enjoy every day."
