Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Mother, I understand.” Chu Ziluo hugged Ye Muyu’s neck and nodded.
In the county, Madam Liu and Chu Zhiwen entered the cow market first. Inside, she told Chu Zhiwen about the few cows that she was optimistic about. She did not stay long. “I’m going to look for Chu Heng first. I’ll come back to you in a while.”
“Got it. Go.”
Madam Liu quickly rushed to the school gate and gave two copper coins to Uncle Liu and askeed him to call Chu Heng out.
Chu Heng came out very quickly.
Seeing Madam Liu, Chu Heng called out, “Mother.”
“Why are you here?”
“Your wife asked me to bring you some pickled vegetables and milk cakes. Eat them quickly. They won’t last long. They were all made by your wife. Anywvay, I think they’re delicious.” Madam Liu winked at Chu Heng.
Chu Heng listened with an indifferent expression. He thought to himself, ‘Madam Ye is really amazing. She actually settled the family so quickly to stand up for her.’
Previously, the two children only stayed at the old residence for a few days before going back.
How long had it been this time? In less than half a month, his parents had been subdued.
“Mother, what has Madam Ye done at home?” Although Chu Heng would receive a letter from Chu Xing, it was basically praising Madam Ye. Chu Heng thought that Chu Xing had interacted with Madam Ye for a long time, so it was possible that he would help her.
Moreover, Chu Xing was only a brother in the clan and might not know everything.
He subconsciously wanted to probe Madam Liu for some information.
“She’s been very busy recently. She’s just been collecting medicinal herbs and making this milk cake. You don’t know, but Madam Ye asked Ah Xing to help sell the milk cake. A small piece is very expensive. It’s 20 copper coins.”
“These 120 copper coins can buy five catties of meat.” Madam Liu sighed. “Old Third, listen to Mother’s advice. Don’t overthink things. In the past, Madam Ye was not very sensible, but she did not make a big mistake.”
“Look at what she’s giving you now. The things she’s giving you are worth at least a hundred coins. Also, Madam Ye wants to make those clothes for you. However, she’s been busy recently and will be late.”
“If your father gives me such expensive pastries and clothes, I’ll spend the rest of my life with him. What else are you dissatisfied with?”
After Chu Heng heard Chu Liushi’s words, he raised his eyebrows, “Mother, didn’t you dislike Madam Ye previously?”
Subconsciously, he looked down at the pastries in his hand. Chu Heng thought to himself that Madam Ye was quite generous this time. In the past, other than giving clothes, she only gave food.
She had never made pastries for him before.
“How can that be the same? In the past, I was angry when she did something wrong. Now that she didn’t do anything wrong, of course, I’ll be happy.” Madam Liu waved her hand. “Anyway, Old Third, think about it carefully. Don’t tell me you have someone outside?”
Madam Liu lowered her voice as she spoke. She did not dare to let others hear her words, but she also had the intention of testing Chu Heng.
“No, Mother, what are you thinking?” Chu Heng’s face darkened.
“Mother, don’t spout nonsense in front of Madam Ye. If your son really wants to find someone, why hide it? Don’t mention this a second time,” Chu Heng said unhappily.
Although Chu Heng’s attitude was not very good, Madam Liuwas very happy. She deliberately tested him. If this really happened, Chu Heng would definitely have a different reaction.
With that, she was relieved. The things that had been bothering her for the past few days were finally gone.
“Alright, alright, alright. I won’t spout nonsense, but you can’t do anything to
Madam Ye either….”
