After Old Woman Ye said this, her eyes flashed. “Look, your niece and nephew’s eggs are finished again. Mother… Mother doesn’t have the money to buy it. If I don’t take good care of their bodies, they won’t be able to take care of this family when they grow up. If your brother finds out that Mother didn’t take good care of his two children, he will definitely be angry with Mother. I won’t be able to explain it to your brother.”
Ye Muyu knew that Old Woman Ye wanted to take something.
“Mother, do you see anything valuable in my house? This time, when my husband came back, he was very angry because Ziluo’s shoes were broken, so he gave me less money. You have to be mentally prepared.” Ye Muyu did not plan to spoil Old Madam Ye like the original host.
Old Madam Ye had feelings for the original host, but she was used to taking the original host’s money and items to raise her eldest son’s two children.
In her previous life, she had never met such a family member, so she tried to control herself and take it slow.
“Chu Heng knows about Mother taking the things back?” Old Madam Ye was shocked.
Old Woman Ye was also afraid of Chu Heng, but because Chu Heng was often not at home, she did not see this son-in-law at all other times except on the second day of the new year. Naturally, her fear slowly dissipated.
However, because she often took things back from her daughter’s house, she felt guilty. It would be fine if Ye Muyu did not mention Chu Heng, but once Chu Heng was mentioned, she would feel uneasy.
Therefore, she usually avoided Chu Heng and only came back when he was not around.
“Mother, do you know why the two children are not at home today?” Ye Muyu lowered her eyes.
Old Madam Ye was slightly stunned.
“Mother, I won’t hide it from you. To tell you the truth, when my husband came back this time, he was dissatisfied that I didn’t care enough for the two children and had already let the two children live in the old residence.”
“How can this be? What right does he have to send your children to the old mansion? Don’t tell me Chu Heng doesn’t want you, his biological mother, to teach the two children? Do you want the two children to be separated from you?” Old Madam Ye instantly stood up in anger and wanted to go to the old residence to settle the score. “I knew that Madam Liu wasn’t a good person. She actually wanted to separate you and your child’s hearts. Don’t tell me Chu
Heng going to get a concubine in the future?”
“Mother, who told you that Chu Heng wanted to marry a concubine?” Ye Muyu had even forgotten to call him husband when she heard his words, so she could not help but ask.
Old Madam Ye heard her question and kept her voice down “Well, I just heard some nonsense. They said that if you become a high scholar, you can have a concubine.”
“I’m just worried,” Old Madam Ye said guiltily.
Ye Muyu understood immediately. She muttered, “Mother, don’t you know what kind of person my husband is?”
“If he really manages to become a high scholar, your daughter will rise with the tide. How can you not understand this simple logic?”
“This is the current situation. Mother, you also know that my husband won’t be angry casually, but once he’s angry, if I don’t coax him, the two children will probably have to stay in the old residence in the future.”
“Then…Then what should we do?” Old Madam Ye was also panicking. She had been making a fuss about going to the old mansion, but when she heard that it was Chu Heng’s idea, she did not dare to do anything. “I won’t take anything back this time. I’ll come back when Chu Heng’s anger has subsided.”
“Mother, in the future, whatever I give you, I will have to write a letter to my husband and explain it clearly. If my husband agrees, then I can give it to you.” Ye Muyu took the opportunity to state her considerations..
