CHAPTER 212: CHAPTER 212 A TOKEN OF AFFECTION

Moreover, having her parents-in-law live with her means they can help with cooking and taking care of the kids, allowing her to do what she wants without worry.

As Jiang Xue was walking towards the ward after leaving the doctor’s office, she saw her father-in-law stepping out of the elevator carrying a thermal container.

"Dad, why are you here?" Jiang Xue approached Mu Siwu with a smiling face.

"Your mom made some chicken soup and asked me to bring it over to nourish your parents," Mu Siwu said as he and Jiang Xue walked towards Father Jiang’s ward together.

Previously, with only Mrs. Jiang taking care of things, meals were bought from outside. Although the hotel allowed borrowing a pot, Mrs. Jiang didn’t have the time.

Now there were people to help and pots to cook with, making things much more convenient. So, after Jiang Xue left in the morning, Bai Yuhua cooked the chicken she had bought and sent Mu Siwu to the hospital with it.

When the two entered the ward, Mu Siwu saw that Father Jiang was sleeping. After putting down the food, he didn’t stay long and left immediately.

Before leaving, Mu Siwu said to Jiang Xue, "Xue’er, your mom packed quite a lot of this chicken soup, so don’t let yourself go hungry. I’ll bring more after you finish. Now that we have home here, everything is more convenient. Your mom also said that I should bring meals for your dad every day. This way, there’s no need to eat out."

"Got it, Dad!" Jiang Xue sent Mu Siwu off and returned to the ward to stay with Father Jiang. As for the chicken soup, she didn’t open it in case it got cold.

Father Jiang slept for about an hour and a half before waking up. Upon waking, he saw Jiang Xue daydreaming on a chair, chuckled, and said, "Xue’er, are you tired too? Do you want to take a nap?"

Hearing Father Jiang’s voice, Jiang Xue snapped out of her daze, shook her head, and said, "Dad, I’m not tired."

After speaking, she noticed the thermal container her father-in-law brought and stood up, saying, "Dad, you must be hungry. My father-in-law just brought some chicken soup, I’ll get you a bowl."

"Xue’er, don’t rush about, help me get up first so I can go to the restroom," Father Jiang stopped Jiang Xue’s movements, trying to struggle up from the bed.

Seeing this, Jiang Xue immediately put down what she was holding and went to help Father Jiang get up. Now that Father Jiang could take care of himself, they no longer had to worry about such things.

After going to the restroom, Jiang Xue helped Father Jiang lie back down on the bed, then served him a bowl of chicken soup. Bai Yuhua’s chicken soup was very well-made, both fragrant and rich. Even the chicken was cooked until very tender, and Father Jiang drank two bowls of soup and ate some meat before stopping.

Seeing her father finish eating, Jiang Xue covered up the rest, planning to wait for Mrs. Jiang to come and then eat together. She knew Mrs. Jiang would definitely come over shortly.

Sure enough, Jiang Xue was right; it wasn’t long before Mrs. Jiang arrived, bringing meals for them.

When she found out that Father Jiang had already had chicken soup, she repeatedly praised Jiang Xue’s mother-in-law to her.

Jiang Xue smiled at this, poured out the remaining chicken soup, and handed it to Mrs. Jiang, saying, "Mom, my dad didn’t finish it, so you have the rest."

"I won’t eat it; let’s save this, heat it up for your dad this evening."

"Mom, my father-in-law said he’d bring more tonight, so you should finish this up," Jiang Xue smiled and pushed the bowl into Mrs. Jiang’s hands. She knew her mother was reluctant to eat it.

But now that she was there, she wouldn’t let her mother deny herself anything. Father Jiang, who was watching from the side, also helped Jiang Xue persuade her, saying, "Xiuhua, listen to Xue’er; go ahead and eat. This is a gesture of goodwill from the in-laws, don’t let it go to waste."
