Chapter 553: Test
Ye Muyu, following her idea that the less she cared, the less others would hold onto the topic, simply admitted it.
Ye Zhaoming, upon hearing this, smiled broadly, "Mother, see? I told you my brother-in-law is good to my sister."
"He's knowledgeable and caring. Mother has a good eye." Su Shi joined in, flattering her own husband.
Ye Pozi chimed in unexpectedly, "Yu'er, eat quickly. I'll go fry some pumpkin seeds later and have your husband help you peel them."
Ye Muyu's eyes widened upon hearing this and she quickly stopped her, "Mother, peeling pumpkin seeds is difficult. Don't make it hard for him."
"Silly girl, I'm testing Ah Heng for you. Now that your eldest brother has gained an official position, our Ye family has some confidence. I'm using this small matter to test Ah Heng's true character." Ye Pozi didn't wait for Ye Muyu to speak and instead called Ye Zhaoming to bring the bamboo sieve filled with dried pumpkin seeds.
Meanwhile, Han Shi helped by bringing out a cloth bag from the corner and once the pot was hot, poured coarse salt into it.
Ye Pozi waited for the salt to heat up before adding the pumpkin seeds and continuously stirring them "Yu'er, have you and your husband considered having another child?"
"Ahem..." Ye Muyu had just eaten peanuts and felt her throat dry. She was choked by this question when she drank tea.
Ye Pozi continued, "If you still want to, do it sooner. Little Jin is already over five years old, almost six, right?"
"Mother, we haven't thought about it. Ziluo and Little Jin are just fine." Ye Muyu quickly interrupted her.
Ye Pozi continued chattering, "That won't do. The more children, the better. In the future when you're in your husband's family, you'll be more stable. Look at the Song family. Recently, that Miss Wang from their family invites Song Lu's sister, Song Qing, to play in the county every day. The Song family is becoming arrogant, saying that Song Qing will marry into a wealthy family and become a lady of the house."
"In my opinion, that Song Qing is so skinny, with no flesh on her chest, and she's so thin and pale. Who from a wealthy family would fancy her? There are so many pretty girls out there, is everyone blind, insisting on marrying such an explosive little chili pepper?"
Ye Pozi's mouth kept going, belittling Song Qing without holding back.
No wonder no one in the village dared to argue with her. These words were too harsh, hitting the nail on the head every time.
If Song Qing heard these words, she would probably explode on the spot.
"Mother, are you saying that Miss Wang from the Wang family has become friends with Song Qing?" Ye Muyu focused on this point.
Ye Pozi waved her hand, "What friends? Miss Wang from the Wang family has already been married off long ago."
Miss Wang from the Wang family: I feel like you're implying and mocking me!
The people in the kitchen were left speechless by Ye Pozi's words.
For a moment, the atmosphere was awkward. Ye Muyu wanted to laugh, but felt it was unethical, so she forced herself to hold back.
Su Shi nudged Ye Zhaoming, urging him to break the awkward situation.
Ye Zhaoming received his wife's signal and nodded solemnly, "Both Yan'er and I think Mother is right. We don't know if the Song family has lost their minds, letting an unmarried girl like Song Qing mingle with a divorced woman who has returned home. And they've made it public, I'm afraid no one in the village would dare marry Song Qing."
Su Shi's nickname contained the character 'Yan.' Upon hearing her husband's words, the smile on her face cracked and she screamed in her heart, "He didn't say it, this man is setting me up!"
