Chapter 273 - 273: Dividing the Silver
He was still holding the Mencius book in his hand. The slightly shaky carriage did not affect his reading.
Ye Muyu smiled. Of course, that was not what she wanted to ask.
However, Chu Heng had to answer her like that. Could it be that he wanted her to say it on purpose?
“I want to talk about Xiao Jin and Ah Xing splitting the money.” Ye Muyu asked tentatively.
Chu Heng raised his head and met her gaze. His deep eyes were no longer cold, but filled with gentleness.
“I’ve already told Ah Xing about this. He insists on doing this because he thinks that I taught Zhuge Suo to Xiao Jin. He thinks that I’m just finding an excuse to help him. He doesn’t want to take advantage of me, so he insists on a 50 – 50 split. He doesn’t even need Xiao Jin to pay for the wood.”
“Then should we just accept it?” Ye Muyu also knew that Xiao Jin was just a child. In the eyes of the Chu Family, Chu Heng was helping Chu Xing.
“Yes, we’ll accept it. If there’s a way to earn money in the future, I’ll just bring him along.” Chu Heng nodded.
Ye Muyu knew that he had already thought of this.
She just did not know how he would deal with those people in the clan.
However, she did not plan to ask about it anymore.
“By the way, did Lu Chuan find out anything about Lilt Jin being almost kidnapped?” Ye Muyu asked.
“He roughly got some information. Those kidnappers came out to kidnap Xiao Jin because they took money from others. ”
“But when he continued to ask, there was no news. I believe that the county government will interrogate them after this competition. They will find out sooner or later.”
Ye Muyu caught the main point of his words and frowned. “Are they deliberately targeting our family?”
“That’s not the case. It’s this group of people who are planning to kidnap children between the ages of five and seven, who have strong bodies and come from ordinary families.”
“And that money seems to be given every once in a while.” “I’m afraid the kidnapper this time won’t be simple.”
Chu Heng’s expression became much more solemn.
Ye Muyu also understood the danger involved. There might be someone behind these kidnappers.
They returned home.
Madam Hu and Nenya were both at home.
By the time Ye Muyu and the rest reached home, the hot water in the house had already been boiled and kept warm in the pot.
It was still early, so the two of them had not had dinner yet.
Ye Muyu asked Madam Hu to prepare dinner.
She filled the water for the two children and went to bathe first.
Ye Muyu went to the study room to ask Chu Heng to take a shower. Chu Heng looked up. “Are you done?”
“Not yet. Go take a bath first. It’ll be dark after you’re done. You still have to read. I can bathe later. Stop dawdling,” Ye Muyu said. “The water will get cold soon.”
Only then did Chu Heng rush to take a shower.
After Chu Heng was done cleaning up, he entered the study room with Chu Jin and Chu Ziluo.
They were all in the county today, and it was still early. Chu Jin needed to complete the homework assigned by the teacher.
Chu Ziluo also wanted to listen to Chu Heng’s lecture to teach her how to read.
Ye Muyu came out after washing up and wrapped her wet hair with a long towel.
When she went out, she saw Madam Hu waiting at the door.
Seeing that she had come out, he quickly reached out and took the towel that covered her long hair. “Madam, your health is not good. You should have washed your hair during the day when the weather is the hottest. Now, you can only dry it earlier. This servant will help you Let’s go to the house first.” “Nenya, bring the heater from the kitchen over.”
Ye Muyu was brought into the east wing and sat down by the bed. Madam Hu asked Nenya to place the heater on the table beside the window..
