Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“That’s right, Sister Xu. Which families are Lil’ Juan looking into? Is there anyone suitable?” They were a family, so they would not hide anything.
Madam Xu did not expect Ye Muyu to change the topic so quickly and even drag her daughter into it.
An awkward smile appeared on her face. “My Lil’ Juan said she wants to stay for two more years. She’ll slowly find a suitable one. There’s no hurry.”
Madam Cao saw that her sister-in-law had been blocked by a single sentence. She was also a little angry. Although she also sided with her family, how could Madam Xu directly talk about divorce in front of everyone?
At that time, everyone would know that it was her, the wife of the clan leader who spread the news, right?
When she went back, how would Yongcheng not be angry with her?
Therefore, Madam Cao did not speak up for Madam Xu and turned a blind eye to her pleading eyes.
Cao Juan saw that everyone wanted to propose marriage to her and snorted angrily in her heart. They were really meddling in other people’s business.
Seeing that Madam Cao was not willing to pay attention to her, Madam Xu was also a little angry. She began to complain about Madam Cao in her heart. If Madam Cao had not told her this news, would her little daughter have placed her heart on Chu Heng?
Although Chu Heng was outstanding, he was not the only one.
When it came to marriage, Chu Qingxiang was instantly brought up. Everyone was asking Madam Zhang if the marriage between Chu Qingxiang and the Song family had been settled.
Madam Zhang saw the envy in everyone’s eyes and thought of the Cao family’s performance just now. She could not help but be vigilant and felt that she had to tightly grasp the marriage with the Song family.
She had seen the way Cao Juan looked at Chu Heng.
It was obvious that she was aiming to find a scholar.
Speaking of which, the Cao family was shameless. Chu Heng had been married for eight years, and his children were already so big, yet they still wanted to let their daughter marry him. Was it because Chu Heng seemed to have some ability to earn money now?
Although Madam Zhang envied Ye Muyu, she was not ashamed of the Cao family’s thoughts.
Therefore, when she heard someone ask about Song Lu, she only said that the marriage had been confirmed, but she never mentioned whether the Song family had money or not. She only talked about the cost of marriage and how difficult it was for Song Lu to study.
By the time he finished entertaining the guests, it was already a quarter past midnight.
After sending everyone away, the tables and chairs in the courtyard began to be cleaned up. Zhang Shu, Lu Chuan, and the ten servants were there. The tables and benches were sent back to the villagers’ homes.
There were still some vegetables left at home.
They gave the old residence some and Madam Qian also took some.
Old Madam Ye, the Fourth and Second household also took some. Only Madam Cao did not want to talk to Ye Muyu and left early, so she did not take it.
Ye Muyu did not mind. Madam Cao had bullied her, so she could not just pretend that nothing had happened.
Madam Liu and Old Madam Ye did not leave.
Even Madam Zhang and Chu Qingxiang stayed behind. Other than that, there was also Madam Wang.
Madam Wang was stopped by Madam Liu.
After the kitchen was cleaned up, Ye Muyu brought Madam Liu, Old Madam Ye, and the others to sit on the veranda and make pickled cabbages.
After Ye Muyu taught them, Old Madam Ye and Madam Liu had already learned how to watch and began to cook by themselves.
“Daughter, your culinary skills are not bad. I ate the fish with pickled cabbages today.” Old Madam Ye smiled and said, “You just got better, so go and rest. I’ll try to do it first.”
“I thought it would be very difficult. I didn’t expect it to be so simple.”
Old Madam Ye knew how to make pickles, and the pickles she made tasted the best. Even Ye Muyu liked to cook with her bean paste.
“Mother, the most important thing in making pickled cabbages is not the steps, but the seasoning..”
