Chapter 554: All Based on Ability
"Mother, um... what my husband said was just nonsense." Although what Ye Zhaoming said made some sense, Su Shi felt that speaking ill of others behind their backs wasn't right. She needed to control her mother-in-law's sharp tongue to avoid making a string of enemies in the future. How could they handle it?
"Ah Zhaoming didn't say anything wrong. I want to see how arrogant that Song Qing will be when no one marries her in the future." Ye Pozi felt no guilt about speaking ill of others, knowing that others would speak ill of her too. In the interest of fairness, everyone should speak together!
Whether one spoke harshly or not depended entirely on their ability.
"However, Song Lu hasn't been looking well these days. There's a shadow in his eyes. He's probably been tormented quite a bit." Ye Pozi said with some sympathy, "Such a good child, becoming a scholar yet facing so many hardships."
"Thinking about it, your father is better. He has no ambition, just wants to eat, drink, and sleep comfortably. He doesn't get involved in so many things that would harm his own children." Ye Pozi praised Ye Dejiang with sincerity.
Ye Zhaoming and Ye Muyu looked at their father, who had become famous for being 'lazy', with mixed feelings.
It must be said, it's all about contrast!
Ye Dejiang didn't even know he was being praised by his wife. He was eating peanuts and yawning incessantly, leaning lazily on his chair. He listened to Chu Heng and Ye Zhao's conversation, occasionally interjecting a word.
When one is comfortable, it's easy to doze off. Soon, his light snoring could be heard.
Ye Zhao was attracted by his snoring and turned to look at his father with a somewhat indescribable expression. But he remained calm. "Brother-in-law, I've asked around. Father is just like this. Don't mind him."
"Brother, you're too polite. Father-in-law is true to himself." Chu Heng sipped his tea and calmly diffused the awkwardness with a single sentence, showing his strong mentality.
At this moment, Ye Zhaoming came in with a plate of pumpkin seeds.
Seeing that there were many peanuts on the plate in front of Chu Heng, he said directly, "Brother-in-law, Sister said she's thirsty after eating peanuts and wants to eat some pumpkin seeds. These are freshly fried pumpkin seeds, very fragrant."
"Where's Ah Yu? What is she doing?" Chu Heng wondered why Ah Yu, who wasn't one to indulge in food, would say such a thing even at home.
His eyes flashed, and he suddenly smiled. He began peeling pumpkin seeds in a leisurely manner. Pumpkin seeds were small and had thin skins, making them difficult to peel. But in Chu Heng's hands, it was as if they had changed. With a few movements of his fingers, he peeled a whole one.
"Ah Yu is in the kitchen, tending the fire and chatting with Mother and the others."
"It must be hot there. Ah Zhaoming, please pour some tea for Ah Yu." Chu Heng's open display of affection made Ye Zhao unable to help but take a second look at him.
He wondered why Chu Heng, who used to be low-key suddenly showed his affection for his sister so openly.
Ye Zhaoming, on the other hand, was as excited as if he had been injected with chicken blood. He hurried into the kitchen to report the situation.
Ye Pozi exaggeratedly put her hands on her hips and laughed "This old woman knew it. I can see that my son-in-law has no problem with his character!"
"It's my clever daughter who knows how to tie down her husband."
"Han Shi, Su Shi, you should learn from Lan'er. The most important thing after marriage is to capture your husband's heart."
Han Shi stopped cutting meat and looked expectantly at Ye Muyu, "Second sister, do you know how to capture your husband's heart? I... I want to learn."
