Her family’s life was better now, so she could help her family more.
“Mother, it’s what I should do. The tea-tasting skills that Qing Xiang learned were taught by Grandmother.” Madam Zhang knew that Madam Liu always felt indebted to her family.
This was the feeling of guilt in her heart when her parents were still suffering despite her living a good life.
Madam Zhang did not want to have a conflict with Madam Liu. Moreover, even if she did not give this money, Chu Heng might give it to them privately, even if it was to give face to the First household.
However, Madam Zhang had earned a lot of money this year. Not to mention medicinal herbs, just making the pickled cabbages alone had earned her a lot. Now, they were still continuing to earn money.
It was also the third branch that taught her the way. How stupid was she to offend the third branch?
Thus, Madam Zhang, who had saved up some money, waved her hand and made a decision.
“Since you’ve said so, I won’t say anything more. You’re all filial children.” Madam Liu smiled lightly.
“Mother, you’re being too polite.” Madam Zhang was the best at talking. Since she had done a good deed, she would naturally accept it.
“Third Brother, are you staying for lunch?” She smiled at Chu Heng.
“No need. We still have to rush to the county in the afternoon. You guys should eat early. Oh right, Sister-in-law, remember to bring some vegetables to the county. I’m afraid no one will be selling vegetables today.” Chu Heng reminded.
Madam Zhang nodded repeatedly.
“Then I’ll send you off, Third Brother.”
“Father, Mother, I’ll go back first.” Chu Heng nodded.
“Go back. Be careful on the road.” At this moment, Madam Liu was feeling very happy. She knew that Madam Zhang had deep thoughts and valued profits.
Usually, she treated her three daughters-in-law equally and hoped that all her daughters-in-law would be filial to her.
What she wanted was for them to be filial and not give her any trouble, not to scheme against her money and assets. Now, Madam Zhang had taken the initiative to give her family money, which made Madam Liu even happier than giving it to her directly.
“Third brother, do you know the Li family at the entrance of the village?” Madam Zhang asked after seeing Chu Heng off.
“Li Gendi’s wife just came to look for me. She was talking about you and Third
Sister-in-law in the hall. I thought it was strange, so I didn’t talk to her much.”
“Who knew that the woman would be so unreasonable? She said that I was jealous of you and Third Sister-in-law, so we quarreled.”
Madam Zhang thought that her own words would give Chu Heng a better impression of her family than others, so she did not hide anything and told him what had just happened.
“Actually, there are quite a few times when people ask about you and Third Sister-in-law.”
“I thought the villagers were bored and just asked out of curiosity.”
“It seems like Madam Li is here especially for you and Third Sister-in-law today. I find it strange.”
Chu Heng took it to heart. “Yes, I understand. Thank you, Sister-in-law.” “No need to thank me.” Madam Zhang was somewhat flattered.
Chu Heng had already turned around and got into the carriage. He turned the carriage around and went to Chu Cai’s house.
“Have you heard about what happened in the village?” Chu Heng asked from the carriage.
“Master, this subordinate is not sure.”
“It’s almost as First Madam said. It was just a small action before, and I didn’t notice it.”
“This subordinate will go to the Li family and ask them.”
Chu Heng did not want to stay in the slightest bit of danger.
“Investigate the Cao family and the Tang family again.”
“Yes.” After Lu Chuan sent Chu Heng home, he left. He had a drug with him that could make people lose their minds and reveal information.
Chu Heng entered the courtyard.
He saw Ye Muyu packing up her clothes in the east wing room, and there were also many rice dumplings in the central room. It was obvious that the other relatives had also come to deliver gifts during this period of time..
