PWDLAW Chapter 24: Change
Chapter 24: Change
"Mother I was too reckless before, lacked knowledge but after thinking deeply in these days, I understand that if I don't learn to be clever, I'll only be manipulated by others." Ye Muyu thought about the cause of the original owner's death.
On the first day she arrived, she was busy playing mind games with Chu Heng, neglecting the situation of the original owner. When she was making shoes just now, upon careful recollection, she concluded that the original owner had died of a cold.
To delve into why the original owner caught a cold, one had to mention the foolish things the original owner did. In order to make Chu Heng like her, she followed some superstitious beliefs, went to the temple to burn incense and secretly brought back the incense ash, which she soaked in water and drank.
This wouldn't have led to death but unfortunately, every time the original owner went to the temple, it rained. Over time, the original owner who had a weak constitution, kept catching colds. It wasn't until she got caught in the rain the night before, developed a fever, and then passed away.
Ye Muyu's arrival had given this body a chance to continue living.
The original owner did such foolish things because there were rumors in the village that she wasn't worthy of Chu Heng. And these rumors were spread by Chu Yun, the eldest daughter of the Chu family.
Chu Yun was older than all her younger siblings and she was even eight years older than the youngest, Chu Heng. As a result, Chu Heng had been raised by Chu Yun since childhood.
Chu Yun always protected her little brother the most. She was extremely displeased with Ye Muyu's foolish actions. Every time she went back to her family, she would speak harshly to Ye Muyu.
Not long ago, when the head of the Chu family, Chu Zhiwen had a birthday, Chu Yun returned home. Learning that Ye Muyu mistreated Chu Ziluo and brought their family belongings to her parents' home, not only did she find Ye Muyu and scold her harshly but she also prevented Ye Muyu from participating in Chu Zhiwen's birthday celebration for the whole day.
Seeing this, some people couldn't help but gossip.
Originally, with Chu Liushi mediating, nothing major happened. However, Chu Yun's six-year-old son, Wang Dinglin, heard about it inside the house and when questioned by someone, he revealed everything.
Because of this news, many people in the village felt that the Chu family was dissatisfied with Ye Muyu as their daughter-in-law.
Some jealous people even brought up the idea of divorcing a wife.
Upon hearing this, Ye Muyu was furious.
Finally, Chu Liushi and Chu Zhiwen got wind of the situation. Chu Liushi directly found Chu Yonghua, the head of the Chu family and explained the situation.
She also personally called Chu Yun back to apologize, dispelling the rumors.
However, even after apologizing, Chu Yun privately told Ye Muyu that she apologized only for not teaching her son well, not for saying those words.
Upon hearing this, Ye Muyu was angry and scared.
She had a bad temper, directly scold Chu Yun on the spot calling her an interfering outsider.
Later, she worried that Chu Heng might really divorce her.
Ye Muyu was content with her current life and knew the consequences of being divorced. In her panic, she resorted to doing things like going to the temple to seek Buddha's help and drinking incense ash water.
She thought about all these things in her mind for a while but it was just a momentary occurrence.
Chu Liushi listened to her words, her expression somewhat complex. She also thought of her eldest daughter, Chu Yun.
For a while, she didn't know what to say. She was indeed dissatisfied with Ye Muyu's foolish actions and her eldest daughter's overaggressive behavior was also true. It seemed that they couldn't help each other.
