“I haven’t learned this word yet.”
Ye Muyu saw that the child was diligent in learning and asking questions, so she patiently explained to him, “I don’t know which story I read it from but the meaning is simple. It’s a compliment for your tiger painting. It looks like it’s alive.”
“Ohh I see.” Chu Jin was complimented, and his eyes curved into crescents. “It was the teacher who said that painting can’t just be simple shapes, but it also needs to have the spirit.”
“That’s right, that’s what mother meant.” Ye Muyu knew that he was smart, so she only guided him from the side and left the rest to him to think about. The knowledge gained in this way would make him remember and understand more.
Chu Jin tilted his head and said to Ye Muyu, “Mother, I still need to draw one more. Go back to your room and rest. I’ll take a shower and sleep after I’m done.”
“Alright, then I won’t disturb you anymore.” Ye Muyu stood up and helped him cut the lamp wick short and light it up. Then, she left the study and gently closed the door for him.
Ye Muyu came out of the study.
She saw Chu Ziluo quietly walking over to her side and pulling the corner of her shirt.
“What’s wrong?” Ye Muyu led her into the left-wing room.
Chu Ziluo hugged her waist and stayed there for a while. Then, she stood up straight and smiled. “Mother, I brought my brother to eavesdrop on your conversation this afternoon.”
“Oh, why?” Ye Muyu thought it was a small matter, but she was glad that her daughter had taken the initiative to tell her.
Her daughter was really sensible.
Ye Muyu could not help but touch the tip of her nose affectionately.
“Mother, I didn’t eavesdrop on purpose. I was afraid that Grandma Xu would say bad things about our family again, so I brought my brother to see how
Father, Mother, and I dealt with those who said bad things about our family.”
Seeing that Ye Muyu was not angry, Chu Ziluo explained her thoughts clearly.
“My younger brother is still young. He probably doesn’t know how to deal with it, so he thinks that only fighting can solve it.”
“I’m older than him and know more. Of course, I know how capable Father and Mother are. Sometimes, when I encounter problems that I can’t solve, I learn from Father and Mother.”
“The facts have proven that Father and Mother are really powerful. I have never suffered a loss before,” Chu Ziluo said proudly.
“Is someone bullying you in the village?” Ye Muyu asked.
“Ah?” Before Chu Ziluo could react, she realized that her mother was concerned about her. She quickly shook her head honestly and said, “No, mother. Ever since Father moved back, no one in the village has said anything bad about me. They usually take the initiative to play with me. However, I had to learn female arts recently, so I didn’t have time.”
“When I go out now, I always hear them gossip about others.” Chu Ziluo quickly raised her hand and promised, “I’m just listening. I’ve never participated in it.”
“Mother knows that you are a good child. You did well this time.” Ye Muyu really thought that this child was smart, but she did not expect her to be so insightful.
However, she still reminded him. “You can’t eavesdrop on everything. If
Mother is coughing to remind you, you can’t listen. Do you understand?”
Ye Muyu was also worried that if she were talking to the elders about adult matters, it was better for the children to not listen, lest they mature too quickly.
“Mother, I’ll go back first.”
Chu Ziluo obediently returned to her room.
Ye Muyu sat by the bed and made pants for a while.
After waiting for a while, Chu Heng came in and frowned when he saw her sewing in the middle of the night..
