Chapter 45: Discussion
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
It was just a novelty, and it was over.
...“Qingxiang, you’ve worked hard. Sit down. We’re a family, so there’s no need to specially brew tea.”
Since Chu Heng had said so, Chu Qingxiang smiled faintly and retreated. “If
Third Uncle thinks it’s good, then I’m relieved.”
Chu Heng knew that Chu Qingxiang had always been a smart person, so he nodded his head gently in agreement.
“Mother, are you planning to let all the girls in the family learn the rules from you?” Chu Heng asked directly. When he heard Madam Chu ask Madam Zhang to call Second Sister-in-law, Madam Wang, and Second Brother Chu Cai, he had already guessed what his mother wanted to do.
Madam Liu did not respond to his words and said perfunctorily, “What can I do? If I don’t do anything, you’ll have to discuss it with your father when he’s back.”
Chu Heng was speechless.
He raised his hand to drink his tea and really did not say anything else.
Ye Muyu had a guess.
Soon, Chu Zhiwen returned, and with him, Chu Lin.
The two of them pulled the grass and plowed the ground, planning to clear out the land at home and plant vegetables.
“Third Brother is here?”
“Wait a little longer. When your second brother comes, we’ll talk together.” Chu Zhiwen and Madam Liu sat calmly at the top.
Chu Lin was also drinking water while hugging the quilt. He lowered his head and did not say anything, not wanting to show himself.
At this moment, Madam Liu could not help but look at her third son with a slight accusation.
Chu Heng sat upright and did not meet her gaze.
Madam Liu could not do anything to her son. Helplessly, she turned her gaze to Ye Muvu who was sitting beside Chu Hene.
Ye Muyu was sitting upright, not deliberately at all. She was smiling as she held her teacup and listened. Chu Ziluo and Chu Jin were also sitting obediently.
It was completely different from her previous impression.
Madam Liu wanted to praise Ye Muyu, but she did not say anything as she thought about what would happen next.
After about half an hour, both Madam Wang and Chu Cai arrived.
Their clothes were stained with mud, so it was obvious that they had just started working in the fields. They were called over in a hurry.
“Father, Mother, Big Brother.”
The two of them called out and sat down.
“Sit down.” Chu Zhiwen raised his hand and waited for the two to sit down.
Only then did they start talking about today’s topic.
“Third Brother suggested that all the girls in the family who are over eight years old should come over and follow your mother to learn etiquette for three months. See how your Sister Qingxiang does it and what she needs to learn so that she won’t be confused when she gets married in the future.”
Chu Heng raised his eyebrows. He was not surprised at all. For the sake of reputation, his mother would call Second Brother’s child to the old mansion.
This was completely to prevent outsiders from talking about Madam Ye and him.
Ye Muyu did not say anything. She knew that it was useless to resist.
Besides, she did not think this matter would last long.
Chu Heng had underestimated a mother’s love for her child.
Moreover, Second Sister-in-law Wang was also involved.
Before this, she did not know how Madam Wang would react, but after meeting her in the morning, Madam Wang’s words clearly showed that she was reluctant to part with her daughter.
Just as Ye Muyu had expected.
When Madam Wang heard this, she hurriedly tugged at Chu Cai’s sleeve in private.
Chu Cai was also unwilling in his heart. After waiting for a long time, he did not hear anyone refute. Seeing that his father was about to settle this matter, he could only helplessly be the vanguard and say in a muffled voice, “Father, my Qingyu hasn’t turned eight yet. Should we wait until next year?”
Madam Wang also nodded and quickly raised her head. “Father, yes, Qingyu is younger. I’m afraid that my child will cause trouble for you..”
