“Mother, about that… My husband is just talking nonsense.” Although what Ye Zhao said made sense, Madam Su felt that it was not good to speak ill of others behind their backs. She had to control her mother-in-law’s ability to hurt others with her sharp tongue. Otherwise, if she offended a large number of enemies in the future, how could she defeat them?
“Ah Zhao is right. I want to see how arrogant Song Qing can be if no one marries her in the future.” Old Madam Ye did not feel guilty about badmouthing others. After all, others would badmouth her too, so she would continue doing so.
Whether their words were ruthless or not depended on their ability.
“However, I don’t think Song Lu is in good spirits these two days. There are dark circles under his eyes. He must have been tortured badly.” Old Madam Ye said with some sympathy, “Such a good child. He passed the elementary scholar examination, but why is he so troubled?”
“Thinking about it, your father is still the best. He doesn’t pursue these things at all. It’s fine as long as he can eat, have clothes, and sleep. He won’t do so many things to harm his children.” Old Madam Ye praised Ye Dejiang as if it were a matter of fact.
Ye Zhao and Ye Muyu looked at Old Madam Ye praising their father who was famous for his laziness.
It had to be said that they were suitable for each other!
Ye Dejiang still did not know that he was praised by his wife. He kept yawning while eating peanuts. He leaned lazily on the chair and listened to Chu Heng and Ye Hao talking, occasionally adding a sentence.
It was easy to doze off when one was comfortable. Soon, his light snoring could be heard.
Ye Hao was attracted by his snoring and turned to look at his father. His expression was a little difficult to describe. It was also because he was mentally strong that he was still calm. “Brother-in-law, my father is like this, so please don’t mind him.”
“Big brother is too polite. Father-in-law is sincere.” Chu Heng sipped his tea. The two smart people had resolved the awkwvardness with a single sentence from each of them.
At this moment…
Ye Zhao came in with a plate of pumpkin seeds.
She saw that there were quite a few peanuts on the plate placed on the table in front of Chu Heng.
“Brother-in-law,” he said directly, “Sister said that she wants to eat some pumpkin seeds. These are freshly fried pumpkin seeds. They’re very fragrant.”
“Where’s Ah Yu? What’s she doing?” Chu Heng thought that Ah Yu was not a glutton. Even at home, she might not say this. Why was it like this in the Ye family?
His eyes flashed, and he realized that the mastermind was not Ah Yu.
He suddenly smiled and began to peel the pumpkin seeds slowly. The pumpkin seeds were very small and the skin was thin. It was not easy to peel them at all.
However, the pumpkin seeds, which were obviously very difficult to peel, seemed to have changed in Chu Heng’s hands. He easily peeled a whole pumpkin seed.
“Sister is making a fire in the kitchen. She can talk to Mother and the others at the same time.”
“Then it should be very hot. I’ll have to trouble Ah Zhao to pour more tea for Ah Yu.” Ye Hao could not help but notice Chu Heng’s bias toward Ye Muyu. He wondered why Chu Heng suddenly showed his love for his sister without hiding it when he was still low-key previously.
Ye Zhao was as excited. He hurriedly ran into the kitchen and told her about this matter.
Old Madam Ye put her hands on her hips and laughed exaggeratedly. “I knew it. The son-in-law I see has no problem with his character!”
“My daughter is still smart. She managed to control her man well.”
“Madam Han, Madam Su, you should learn from Lan’er. The most important thing after marriage is to capture your husband’s heart.”
Hearing this, Madam Han stopped cutting the meat and looked at Ye Muyu expectantly. “Sister, how did you capture your husband’s heart? I… I want to learn.. “
