Peasant Woman s Decreed Life as a Wife - Chapter 37

Suspicion

Chu Jin instantly felt extremely happy. It turned out that his father was right. Studying was indeed good. Everyone envied people who studied well.

“Sure, no problem.” From that day onward, Chu Jin had a goal. He had to study hard and know all the words. Only then would he be able to understand when others did not understand. That would be so cool.

Chu Heng did not interrupt the two children. He did not expect that teaching his daughter to study would have such a good effect. At least his son, who did not like studying, did not resist studying anymore.

Chu Heng’s mood also improved with this unexpected gain.

It took Ye Muyu an hour to finish cooking dinner.

She brought the meatball soup to the dining table and scooped rice for everyone.

She was afraid that it would not be enough, so she made some scrambled eggs.

With this, the last three eggs in the house were used up.

“Time to eat.” Ye Muyu walked to the door of the west wing and called out. She saw Chu Heng and the two children inside. Although she was a little surprised, she did not say much.

Chu Heng acknowledged.

“Let’s go, it’s time to eat.”

Since Chu Heng had spoken, Chu Jin and Chu Ziluo did not delay any longer and quickly entered the central room.

Chu Ziluo had wanted to help scoop the rice and hold the chopsticks, but when she realized that her mother had finished everything, she was worried about her mother’s health.

Ye Muyu felt a little uncomfortable sitting at the dining table.

Her body was weak. She had only cooked for a while, but she was actually sweating.

She did not show it on her face. Before Chu Heng and the two children came in, she had wiped her cold sweat clean.

Chu Heng walked in and saw the dishes on the table. He smelled the fragrance of the dishes.

He could not help but take a few more glances at Ye Muyu.

Only after Chu Heng sat down and signaled for them to eat did the family start eating.

Chu Heng picked a meatball and ate it with a spoon. He tasted the fresh fragrance inside and couldn’t stop the surprise in his eyes.

Madam Ye’s culinary skills had always been average…

Chu Heng suddenly turned to look at Ye Muyu. The shock in his eyes could not be dispelled.

The suspicion in his heart rose again.

Ye Muyu knew that this man would be suspicious, but she could not possibly mistreat herself if she did not make the food taste better even though she had good ingredients.

Besides, she could not keep hiding her true colors. If this continued, she would not be herself anymore.

“What’s wrong? Delicious, right?” Ye Muyu smiled, seemingly satisfied.

“It’s not bad. I remember that your cooking isn’t that good,” Chu Heng said.

“It’s precisely because it’s not good that I deliberately learn cooking. Every time Mother comes over, she will teach me cooking. You’re not at home, so you naturally don’t know the progress of my cooking.” Ye Muyu blamed it on Chu Heng not being home.

They only met once every three months, and the original host did not know Chu Heng very well.

Naturally, Chu Heng’s understanding of Madam Ye was also one-sided.

There was a loophole in this, so Ye Muyu boldly did not hide anything.

They only spent three days together in three months, and they did not write to each other. No matter how close their relationship was, their understanding of each other was limited.

Chu Heng did not dispel the doubts in his heart.

He could not help but refute her words. “In the future, I hope that mother-in-law can come over when I return home. Otherwise, as the head of the family, I won’t have the chance to entertain mother-in-law.”

How could Ye Muyu not know that he was mocking Mrs. Ye for not daring to visit when he was at home?

However, the original host’s mother really liked to take her daughter’s things to her house. If she did not change this habit, Ye Muyu would not be able to put in a good word for her mother, Madam Wu.
