BXBX NOVEL Chapter 730: Injured
Chapter 730: Injured
Chu Zhiwen was talking to his cousin.
He had five brothers by blood, but the father who had passed away also had brothers. The children of these uncles were all his cousins. They were usually far away, and some were not in Xingshui Village. However, if there was a happy event, they would contact each other.
“Really? Ah Heng is organizing a clan school? What’s the fee?” Many old men who were over fifty years old chased after him and asked enthusiastically.
“We haven’t decided yet, but it’ll definitely be much cheaper than going to the county’s school. At most, you’ll just have to pay for the meals, paper, and pen.”
“This is what we should do.” Many of the elders of the Chu family nodded.
Chu Zhiwen enjoyed the feeling of being flattered. He was smiling the entire time. Seeing that some of his brothers who used to say that he spoiled his wife too much and wasted money were envious and regretful, he was happy in his heart.
At the female seats…
Ye Muyu and Madam Liu also met many guests.
While they were waiting, they saw Chu Qingxiang and Song Lu come over with a gift.
“Third Daughter-in-law, your parents are here. Go and greet them,” Madam Liu said.
“Mother, I’ll go then.” Ye Muyu was naturally happy to greet her parents.
Chu Qingxiang and Song Lu were brought in by Madam Liu.
Chu Qingxiang watched Ye Muyu walk away, and her eyes flashed with an obscure light.
Seeing her reaction, Madam Liu pretended not to see it. “Song Lu, you’re here? Hurry up and go in. Ah Heng is in the room. I’ll bring you there.”
“Qingxiang, your mother is also helping to entertain the guests in the courtyard. You can go in and find a seat.”
Chu Qingxiang opened her mouth but did not know what to say. She could only nod slightly to show that she understood.
She reached out and hid the back of her hand in her sleeve before walking into the courtyard. Sure enough, she saw Madam Zhang talking to her relatives at the table.
“Mother,” Chu Qingxiang called out softly.
Madam Zhang saw her and said with a smile, “Quickly greet your Second Aunt…”
The wife of one of the Chu cousins subconsciously reached out and patted her hand. “I heard that you’re married. You married well.”
“Auntie didn’t have time to come last time, so I missed it. But since your husband is here, introduce him to me later.” Chu Qingxiang frowned slightly and let out an indiscernible cry of pain as she pulled her hand back.
At the same time, she frantically covered her hands.
The two of them did not notice anything. Madam Zhang saw that her mood was a bit off, and after saying a few words, she pulled Qingxiang to the side.
“Come, Qingxiang, sit down. Just ask them to serve you whatever you want to eat. Don’t be shy.” Madam Zhang was also busy, especially with more and more guests.
“Mother, I…” Chu Qingxiang said hesitantly.
“What’s wrong?” Madam Zhang did not understand.
“Ah, Sister-in-law, you’re here…” Before Madam Zhang could say a few words, another guest came. She was busy arranging seats for them, so she did not continue to talk to Chu Qingxiang.
Chu Qingxiang looked at her mother as she left, and her eyes slowly filled with disappointment. She lowered her eyes and gently lifted her sleeves, revealing the back of her hand that had already been scalded and wounded.
“It seems like I need to make sure Song Qing gets married off.” Chu Qingxiang muttered.
On the other hand…
Ye Muyu had already walked towards Old Madam Ye and Ye Dejiang.
“Dad, why are you here so happily today?” Ye Muyu asked jokingly as she looked at her father.
