Chapter 204: Shutting It Down with One Sentence
"Yes, Sister Xu, which families has little Juan been looking at? Is there anyone suitable?" Since they were all family, there was no need to be secretive.
Madam Xu didn't expect Ye Muyu to immediately change the topic and bring her daughter into the conversation.
She put on an awkward smile "My daughter, Juan, mentioned that she wants to wait a couple more years and take her time finding a suitable match. No rush."
Seeing that Ye Muyu shut down the topic that Madam Xu wanted to discuss openly, Cao's, feeling a bit annoyed, chose not to intervene. Although she favored her own family, Madam Xu shouldn't have openly mentioned the divorce in front of everyone. Now, everyone would know that it was the wife of the family head who leaked the information.
Would Yonghua not be upset with her when they returned home? So, Cao didn't speak up for Madam Xu, ignoring the pleading look directed at her.
Observing everyone eager to arrange a marriage for her, Cao Juan sneered in her heart, finding it all quite meddlesome.
Madam Xu, seeing Cao's reluctance to help, felt even more annoyed. She blamed Cao for mentioning this information in the first place. If not for that her daughter wouldn't have set her heart on Chu Heng.
Although Chu Heng was outstanding, he wasn't the only suitable match.
The topic of arranged marriages led to Chu Qingxiang and everyone was curious about the progress of the marriage arrangement with the Zhang family.
Zhang's family head, seeing the envy in everyone's eyes and recalling the performance of Cao's family earlier, became cautious. She believed it was crucial to firmly grasp the marriage with the Song family.
She had noticed the way Cao Juan looked at Chu Heng.
Wasn't that just blatant scheming?
It was shameless for the Cao family to think about becoming the stepmother when her third brother had been married for eight years and their child was already that old. Was it because her third brother seemed to be earning more money now that they were coveting the position?
Although Zhang's family head also envied Ye Muyu, she felt disdain for Cao's family's thoughts.
So, when someone asked about the situation with Song Lu, she only said that it had been finalized but tactfully avoided any mention of their financial situation, subtly hinting at the challenges they faced during Song Lu's education.
After entertaining the guests, it was already late afternoon. The tables and chairs in the courtyard were being packed up, with Zhang and Luchuan along with ten servants, helping.
Tables and chairs were returned to the villagers and the bowls and chopsticks were handed back after cleaning. Some leftover dishes were distributed to various families, including the old mansion and Money Madam's house.
Ye Pozi, the fourth wife, and the second wife each took a portion. Only Cao, unwilling to speak to Ye Muyu, left without taking anything.
Ye Muyu didn't mind. Cao had already treated her unfairly and she couldn't act as if nothing had happened.
Chu Liushi, Ye Pozi, and others didn't leave either.
Even Zhang and Chu Qingxiang stayed, along with Wang.
Wang was called back by Chu Liushi.
After the kitchen was cleaned, Ye Muyu, along with Chu Liushi, Ye Pozi, and others, sat on the porch making pickled vegetables.
Once Ye Muyu explained the process, Ye Pozi and Chu Liushi began making their own.
"Daughter, your skills are impressive. I had the pickled fish you made today." Ye Pozi said with a smile. "Your health is good, go rest. I'll try making it myself."
"I thought it would be difficult but it turns out to be quite simple."
Ye Pozi was already skilled in making pickled vegetables and her pickled dishes were the best. Even Ye Muyu liked to use her fermented bean paste for cooking.
"Mother, the most important thing in making pickled vegetables is not the steps but the seasoning."
