PWDLAW Chapter 243: Leaving No Danger Behind
Chapter 243: Leaving No Danger Behind
Life at home had improved and she could help her natal family even more.
"Mom, it's what I should do. Qingxiang learned the tea brewing skills from her grandmother in her natal family." Zhang knew that Chu Liushi always felt indebted to her natal family.
This was because she was leading a good life while her parents were still suffering. It made her feel guilty.
Zhang didn't want to create conflicts with Chu Liushi. Besides, even if she didn't give this silver coin, Chu Heng might still give it privately later. Although there was some consideration for saving face for the main wife, Zhang had earned money this year, especially with medicinal herbs and pickled vegetables and she was still making a continuous profit.
This was a financial path provided by the third branch. Zhang was not foolish enough to offend the third branch.
Therefore, with a wave of Zhang's hand, the matter was settled.
"Since you say so, I won't say much. You are all filial children." Chu Liushi said with a gentle smile.
"Mom, you're being too polite." Zhang was skilled in her words. Since she had done a good deed, she naturally continued.
She smiled at Chu Heng and asked "Third Brother, will you stay for lunch?"
"No need. I have to go to the county in the afternoon. You all should have your meal earlier. By the way, sister-in-law remember to bring some vegetables to the county. I'm afraid there won't be anyone selling them today." Chu Heng reminded.
Zhang nodded repeatedly.
"In that case, let me escort you, Third Brother."
Chu Heng nodded, "Dad, Mom, then I'll leave first."
"Go ahead, be careful on the way." Chu Liushi was in a good mood at the moment. She knew that Zhang was calculating and valued profits.
On ordinary days, she treated all three daughters-in-law equally and hoped that they would be filial to her.
What she wanted in terms of filial piety was not to cause her trouble and not to care about her wealth and property. Now, Zhang took the initiative to provide silver to her natal family, which made Chu Liushi even happier than if she had given the silver directly.
On the other side, after Zhang sent Chu Heng to the door, hesitated for a moment and said "Third Brother, do you know the Li family at the head of the village?"
"Li Gendi's wife just came to find me and her words were all about your affairs with Third Sister-in-law. I found it strange and didn't talk to her."
"Who knew that woman still had a reason and said that I envied your relationship with Third Sister-in-law. This led to an argument."
Zhang wanted to convey this information to Chu Heng before others did, so that he would have a better impression of her. She didn't hide anything and explained what had just happened.
"Actually, many times, people from other families will ask about your affairs with Third Sister-in-law."
"Before, I thought that the people in the village were just bored and curious."
"But today, Li's wife seemed to be specifically here for your affairs with Third Sister-in-law. That's what I found strange."
After listening, Chu Heng kept it in mind, "Well, I understand. Thank you sister-in-law."
"You're welcome." Zhang felt a little flattered.
Chu Heng turned around and got on the carriage, then headed to Chu Cai's house.
On the carriage, Chu Heng said "Have you heard anything about the village?"
"Master, I cannot be sure." said Luchuan.
"It's similar to what Madam said. There were some small movements before but I didn't notice anything."
"I'll go find out from the Li family."
"Go ahead."
Chu Heng didn't want to leave any potential dangers.
"Conduct another investigation on the Cao family and Tang family."
"Yes." After dropping Chu Heng off at home, Luchuan left. He carried a kind of potion with him that could make people lose their consciousness, making it easier for them to reveal unguarded information.
Chu Heng entered the courtyard.
Seeing Ye Muyu tidying up clothes in the east wing and many zongzi placed in the main hall, it was evident that other relatives had also come to deliver gifts during this period.
