PWDLAW Chapter 495: Reasons
Chapter 495: Reasons
"That's different." Chu Jin couldn't quite explain what was different but he just wanted to go.
"Zǐluo, then you watch over Xiao Jin. Neither of you should go into the water, just play by the shore, okay?" Ye Muyu reminded worriedly.
Chu Zǐluo smiled and nodded. "Mom, don't worry, I'll definitely take good care of my little brother."
"Mom, I promised not to go into the water, so I definitely won't." Chu Jin straightened his chest, speaking confidently.
"Mom, then I'll go back to my room to pick out clothes for tomorrow." Chu Zǐluo didn't want to wear her best clothes in case they got dirty with mud, so she wanted to choose from the old clothes she used to wear. But she had gained some weight recently and her previously thin cheeks had become plump.
The old clothes that used to hang loosely on her frame now needed careful selection to find a suitable fit.
Chu Jin wanted to have a carefree day tomorrow, so he boldly looked at Chu Heng. "Dad, I want to do tomorrow's homework today, okay?"
"Of course, but it's time for your test tomorrow night." Chu Heng had already made it a rule that when the school was on break, he would give Chu Jin a test.
Chu Jin was no longer panicking. He thought about the recent lessons, all of which he had completed. He figured his dad would test him on those, and if it were three months ago, he would have been panicking.
"Okay, Dad." Chu Jin nodded confidently.
Chu Heng responded with a grunt and didn't pay him any more attention.
Chu Jin carried his empty bowl and chopsticks to the kitchen before turning to go to the study to do his homework.
After finishing her meal, Ye Muyu silently waited for Chu Heng to finish his meal.
Chu Heng didn't go to the study to read as usual, but instead, he washed up and tidied up with Ye Muyu
Ye Muyu was curious. "Aren't you going to study today?"
"No need." He hadn't been studying, mainly gathering information and developing industries. The time he spent interacting with classmates in the school's classroom was enough.
Ye Muyu acknowledged with an 'oh' and didn't ask any more questions.
Two quarters of an hour later.
The two of them had finished washing up and were sitting on the bed.
Seeing that he had no intention of sleeping, Ye Muyu also sat down beside him. After thinking for a while, she couldn't help but ask, "Is there anything else about the Song family that I don't know?"
"Do you know why the Wang family suddenly took an interest in Song Lu?" Chu Heng asked.
Ye Muyu pondered. "Why?"
"A few days ago, Song Lu represented the school in Lin county and came to our place to exchange ideas. He made a strategy that caused quite a stir and many scholars said that Song Lu had extraordinary talent and would surely be nominated."
"Like most businessmen, the Wang family also likes to catch a talented son-in-law from the list."
"These things are very common in the capital city and even in the imperial capital." Chu Heng explained carefully to her.
Ye Muyu nodded in understanding. After all, no matter how much land, grain, and money the Wang family had, they were just merchants. If they wanted to continue their legacy, they had to produce scholarly talents in the family.
And the most convenient way was to catch a son-in-law from the list.
The bigger the business, the higher the status of the people involved.
This place was far from the capital, and with the prosperous and developed Jiangnan region, there were many landlords like the Wang family. The farther north one went, especially on the way to the capital, the more careful one had to be with those who came and went to the capital for business.
"Because of this, the Wang family had the idea of marrying into the Song family. But Song Lu is still young and coincidentally the Wang family has a third miss who returned home after a divorce. After that third miss met Song Lu, she personally agreed to this marriage proposal from the Wang family."
