“Bang, bang, bang…” Someone knocked on the door.
The corners of Madam Liu’s mouth twitched. She felt that her husband was exceptionally ‘naive’. Not to mention the clan leader, even the village was vaguely gossiping. If it was not for the fact that they had kept it a secret, how could it be so quiet now?
It was also because of the recent ban in court and the Song family’s guilt that they did not dare to publicize it.
However, the county was only so big, and there were many villagers. It was still a problem whether they could hide it after a long time.
Madam Liu felt that if the time dragged on, she would definitely be gossiped about. This was a common occurrence in the village.
She did not say much to him. He was only anxious when people came looking for him.
He walked to the door and saw Old Madam Wang standing outside.
“What’s wrong?” Madam Liu asked.
“It’s the people from the first branch’s side,” Old Madam Wang said.
Madam Liu held her forehead and turned around to glare at her husband who was still in the mood to smoke. Chu Zhiwen had just walked out when he heard the news. He felt embarrassed and could not help but mutter, “Maybe he’s just asking about other things.”
“Stop mumbling. Come with me to Big Brother’s house now.” After all, he was the clan leader. They still had to give this little bit of face.
Chu Zhiwen could only follow them. After all, his wife did not seem to be in a good mood.
When they arrived at Chu Yonghua’s house…
Madam Chu immediately saw Madam Cao sitting at the head of the table. The other party’s face was cold and did not look good.
This was not surprising to her at all. Ever since the last time Madam Cao and Madam Ye had a conflict, and after the incident with Madam Xu, Madam Cao had not been in contact with the third branch for a long time. Their relationship had even become colder.
However, this was only Madam Cao’s wishful thinking.
Chu Yonghua would not really be estranged from the third branch just for one person.
It was also because of this that Madam Cao’s days at home had been very difficult. Not only was Chu Yonghua, the head of the family, warning her not tc have too much contact with her maternal family, the Cao family, but even her eldest son, Chu An, who had always respected her, stood on her father’s side and disagreed with her actions.
Madam Cao hated everyone in the third household. Now that she had heard some rumors, she deliberately stayed in the central room. She wanted to hear about the scandal of the third household and feel happy!
“Big Brother, Ah An.” Chu Zhiwen took the lead to enter the central room and sat down on a stool at the side.
Chu Yonghua nodded in response.
Madam Liu was walking at the back. When she saw Madam Cao, she smiled slightly. “Big Brother, I don’t know what happened today. Even my sister-in-law, who has always lived in seclusion, has come out. What happened at home?”
Chu Yonghua was reminded and instantly realized that the relationship between the two families was not harmonious.
He was afraid that Madam Liu would not want his wife to stay here.
How could Madam Cao not know that Madam Liu was saying this on purpose? She instantly said with a cold face, “Of course, it’s a big matter that concerns the entire clan. No matter what, I am the wife of the clan leader. Naturally, I won’t be alone and not care about anything.”
Chu Zhiwen saw that his wife did not want Madam Cao to stay. Thinking of Madam Cao’s habit of talking big, he muttered,” Big brother, if it’s a more serious private matter, it’s better to let sister-in-law go and rest first. It’s not good for her to not be able to control her mouth. It’s better not to listen to her, so as to avoid making a mistake and cause embarrassment.”
The entire process was silent.
Even Madam Liu did not expect her husband to be so straightforward.
Madam Cao glared at him.
Chu Yonghua and Chu An instantly felt extremely awkward.
This was the truth, and they really could not deny it.
The reason why no one else was around was because he felt that the fewer people who knew about this, the better..
