 Chapter 44: Chu Qingxiang

"If you go, your sister Qingyu will also have to go." Ye Muyu casually explained to Chu Ziluo. The child was still young and there was no need to burden her with the fact that her father had gone mad and insisted on doing things this way. And the reason why Chu Qingxiang had to go was that Chu Heng was dissatisfied with how the original owner raised the two children. Even if Ye Muyu was indifferent, she couldn't tell an eight-year-old child about the strained relationship between her parents.  Back home, Ye Muyu put the items she bought for the family in the kitchen and used the same basket to pack the things she was going to take to the old house. Just as Ye Muyu was about to finish preparing, she saw Chu Heng approaching. She said "I prepared five catties of meat, a catty of tea leaves, two packs of sugar, two pieces of fabric. The brown one is for you and you have two more pieces of fabric, enough to make summer clothes." "As for the gift money, how much should we give?" Ye Muyu's considerations were very thoughtful and Chu Heng couldn't help but feel that Ye Muyu acted like she knew these things. He wondered who taught her. In his past life, he never saw her so knowledgeable instead she seemed to reveal a petty side in various ways. Chu Heng hid these thoughts in his heart and respond "I've already given the gift money you don't need to worry about it." This time, he didn't even tell her how much he had given. Ye Muyu's expression faded slightly and she nodded to indicate that she understood. After changing Chu Ziluo into clean new shoes, the family of four set off towards the old house. Outside the old house, the gate was wide open. Chu Liushi and the eldest daughter-in-law, Zhang were washing clothes. Chu Zhiwen and Chu Lin were both not at home. Chu Sheng and Chu Ming were studying in the village school and were not at home either. Only Chu Qingxiang, who was about to be married was at home doing needlework. "Dad, sister-in-law," Chu Heng called out. Ye Muyu and the two children also followed suit. "Sister-in-law, come in and lets talk first." "Eldest daughter-in-law, don't wash the clothes for now. Go and call your father and Lin over." "Oh, right, the two from the second brother's family, call them over too. There's something to discuss." Chu Liushi had hoped that Chu Heng wouldn't come over which would have meant that what he said yesterday was just a joke. Unfortunately, that didn't happen. Chu Liushi sighed inwardly and calmly made arrangements. Upon hearing this, Zhang responded with an "okay," got up, patted her pants and went out to call people. Chu Heng walked straight into the main hall. Chu Liushi called out, "Qingxiang, come over and make tea." "I understand, mother." Chu Qingxiang had recently been learning proper manners. She only found out last night that Chu Ziluo might come to learn etiquette with her. She didn't mind as she was much older than both her younger sisters. She eagerly anticipated the post-marriage life, both excited and uncertain. She was willing to listen to the teachings of the elders. Chu Qingxiang brought the tea over and skillfully started making tea, even though some of her movements were clearly wrong. Chu Heng, upon seeing this spoke up to correct her. "Thank you, Third Uncle." Chu Qingxiang was somewhat astonished. She thought that her third uncle was quite knowledgeable. Fortunately, he corrected her or else she would have embarrassed herself if she had to serve tea to guests.  "Third Uncle, Third Aunt, please have some tea." "Sister Ziluo, Brother Jin, have some tea." Chu Qingxiang's movements were smooth, indicating that she had learned these skills for quite some time. Chu Ziluo's eyes showed a touch of admiration as she held the teacup, quietly saying "Thank you, Sister Qingxiang." Chu Jin was more relaxed than Chu Ziluo. He had been pampered by Ye Muyu since he was a child and was envied by the villagers as his father became a scholar. Therefore, when he saw Chu Qingxiang making tea, he found it beautiful but didn't envy her.
