I Bacame the Mother of His Child-Chapter 119: Shameless Woman

"Auntie hello." Reminded by Guo Cuiping, the child immediately released his saliva-covered fingers and greeted her. Then his eyes wandered past Xu Xiuxiu and into the house. Xu Xiuxiu saw this and frowned, but still politely complimented, "Taotao is such a good boy."

"Sister-in-law, please come in! I rarely stay at the military base, so I don’t really know anyone, sorry!" Xu Xiuxiu said as she stepped aside to let Guo Cuiping and Shi Tao in.

"Sister-in-law, wow! Your house is so tidy, and oh, you’ve even bought a big color TV! Lieutenant Colonel Song is really capable." Guo Cuiping led Shi Tao into the house, glanced around the living room, spotted Zhao Nan and Song Chengguang sitting on the sofa, and immediately urged Shi Tao next to her, "Taotao, go and watch TV with your brothers."

Shi Tao hesitated, glancing at the color TV. It seemed he didn’t want to leave Guo Cuiping’s side, but the allure of the big TV seemed too strong to resist. He took the finger out of his mouth, wiped it on his dirty little jacket, and then took steps toward the television.

"Sister-in-law, look! I baked these flatbreads at noon; they are really chewy. I made too many and couldn’t finish them, so I thought I’d bring you some to try. If you like them, I’ll bring more next time." Guo Cuiping said as she handed over two casually wrapped flatbreads in a plastic bag.

Xu Xiuxiu looked at the two flatbreads and took them from her hands, "Thanks! Sister-in-law, you sit down for a bit, and I’ll go pour you a cup of tea." After inviting Guo Cuiping to sit down, Xu Xiuxiu turned around with the items to the kitchen, boiled a hot cup of tea, and since there weren’t many snacks at home, she also cut some fruit to serve her.

"Here, have some canned fruit, Taotao gets one bottle, and Nannan and Cheng Guang will share one bottle, okay?" Xu Xiuxiu fetched the items for Guo Cuiping and saw the three kids huddled on the sofa watching TV. She then pulled out the remaining two cans from the cupboard. Concerned that Guo Cuiping, the stepmother, might be displeased, she let Zhao Nan and Cheng Guang share one can, giving Shi Tao one for himself.

"Thank you, Auntie!" Zhao Nan, who was always polite, thanked Xu Xiuxiu first before he and Cheng Guang started eating from the can slowly, taking turns. Shi Tao, sitting beside them, clearly lacked Zhao Nan’s mannerliness. He immediately opened the can of fruit he received and began to eat hastily.

Unlike Zhao Nan and Song Chengguang’s slow manner of eating, Shi Tao hugged the can and continually stuffed it into his mouth. Perhaps it was his first time trying canned fruit, for he smeared his chin with juice that even dripped onto the sofa. Xu Xiuxiu, looking at her newly changed sofa cover, felt a bit uneasy. However, in front of Guo Cuiping, she kept silent.

"Shi Tao, Aunt Xiu Xiu likes cleanliness, don’t dirty the sofa, it’s hard to clean," Zhao Nan, who noticed the wet sofa and had lived with Xu Xiuxiu for a while, furrowed his little brows and spoke up.

"Mind your own business," Shi Tao looked down at the sofa and continued eating his canned fruit.

Zhao Nan felt a bit angry, his little brows furrowed tighter and then relaxed again in defeat. The children’s conversation was very low, and with the TV on, it wasn’t very clear. However, Xu Xiuxiu, transformed by Space Water, heard everything, which further worsened her impression of Shi Tao.

Guo Cuiping was still enthusiastically chatting with Xu Xiuxiu about her feelings coming to the military base, when suddenly she stopped her excited momentum, "Sister-in-law, are you steaming buns? I think I smelled big meat buns." Guo Cuiping took a few pieces of the fruit Xu Xiuxiu had cut for her and then sniffed the air.

"Yeah! Sister-in-law, your nose is really sharp; you can smell them from so far away." Xu Xiuxiu spoke somewhat helplessly.

"That’s right, my nose is famously sharp!" Guo Cuiping joyfully stuffed another large piece of apple into her mouth, but inwardly she silently criticized Xu Xiuxiu for being wasteful, taking out such expensive apples to serve her. How lenient must Lieutenant Colonel Song be in his household budget, serving guests and even giving several children canned fruit, which is really good stuff and costs quite a few bucks per can? If it were her, she would at most bring out some sunflower seeds to snack on. Thinking this, Guo Cuiping smiled even more warmly at Xu Xiuxiu.

"Do you like buns, sister-in-law? If you like them, I can prepare a couple for you to take home and try!" Xu Xiuxiu hadn’t planned on saying these polite words, but since Guo Cuiping brought it up, she felt it would be too petty to hide them. Besides, she wasn’t one to be stingy, she just wasn’t particularly fond of Guo Cuiping.

"Sure!" Guo Cuiping unhesitatingly agreed, "Just grab a couple more for me! Then I don’t have to cook dinner tonight." She even asked for a few more at the end.

Xu Xiuxiu was baffled again upon hearing this, gaining a new understanding of Guo Cuiping’s thick face. Alright, this was indeed a thick-skinned person; if you’re polite to her, she’d take even more advantage. This type of person is really something, Xu Xiuxiu thought helplessly.

On one hand, Guo Cuiping was chattering nonstop; on the other, the originally peaceful children started a minor squabble.

"Zhao Nan, I want more canned fruit. Give me the rest of the can you have!" Shi Tao, who was trying canned fruit for the first time, found it exceptionally delicious and had quickly finished one can. Upon seeing that Zhao Nan and Song Chengguang had some left, he immediately pushed Zhao Nan and asked.

"I won’t give it. This is for Chengguang and me, why should I give it to you?" Zhao Nan frowned unhappily, looking at where Shi Tao pushed his shoulder, seeing a large sticky patch of fruit can juice on his clothes, which made his mood worse. Shi Tao was really annoying, nowhere near as cute as little brother Chengguang.

"I’m your little brother, you should let me have it. Quick, give it to me or I’ll tell my mom." Shi Tao looked rather timid, but he was quite domineering when dealing with Zhao Nan, roaring and threatening him.

"You’re not my brother, I don’t fancy having a brother like you!" Zhao Nan already disliked Shi Tao. Ever since this kid moved into their house, stealing his snacks and sharing his room, even though they each had their own bed, the guy wet the bed every other night, leaving the room stinking of urine. Zhao Nan was fed up, but his father had told him that Shi Tao would be his brother from now on, and he even had to learn to call that woman "Mom." He had wanted to protest for a long time.

It was one thing for the guy to steal his stuff, letting him have toys or snacks, but now Shi Tao even dared to come to Aunt Xiuxiu’s and try to snatch the canned fruit meant for Chengguang. There was no way he could continue to let it happen.
