Peasant Woman's Decreed Life as a Wife

On the contrary, he thought deeply about it. Could it be that Ye Muyu was really filial to the two elders?

No matter what they thought, Ye Muyu did not take it to heart. She did not do this to please Madam Liu and Chu Zhiwen. She always returned the favor.

“Hey, then you should go back quickly. You’re not in good health either. You don’t have to come alone to bring us food,” Madam Liu continued. “It’s fine. Try it. It’s not something rare. I heard that fish soup can improve one’s health.”

Ye Muyu went back after delivering the fish soup.

Madam Zhang carried the fish soup to the tree.

Chu Zhiwen and Madam Liu could clearly see that the milky white fish soup was emitting a fragrance, without any fishy smell.

Chu Lin took a sip of tea and was a little surprised. “Why is this fish soup

white?”

Chu Sheng had read a lot. Looking at the fish soup, he seemed to have thought of something. “The book once said that carp soup is milky.”

“At first, I thought it was strange. Every time our family made fish soup, it was transparent. No matter how hard I boiled it, it couldn’t be milky white. I thought it was written incorrectly in the book, or perhaps the definition of milky white wasn’t actually milky white. Now it seems like the books are true.”

Madam Zhang’s heart skipped a beat. She could not help but feel that Ye Muyu really knew a lot.

In the past, when she went to her Third Sister-in-law’s house to eat, the fish soup was also transparent. When did it change?

No one knew what Madam Zhang was thinking. When Madam Liu heard her grandson quote the classics, she nodded in satisfaction. “Brother Sheng has put in a lot of effort in his studies. If he only casually glanced at these details, he might not have remembered this.”

Chu Zhiwen was also happy. “Brother Sheng, you have to study hard. You have to be like your Third Uncle and become an Elementary Scholar.”

Chu Sheng was delighted to be praised. He was still young, and his eyes were filled with smiles. “Yes, I won’t let you down.”

The Chu family’s first branch was in harmony.

Beside them, the Chu family’s second branch, Madam Wang, felt a little uncomfortable.

Madam Wang and Chu Cai were also eating. Chu Qingyu had sent them food.

Initially, she was very pleased that her daughter had become sensible and Imew how to think about her reputation. Who knew that before Ye Muyu came and even brought fish soup to the old residence before she could even praise her daughter?

“Mother, it’s so hot. After you finish eating, put the bowl in the basket. I’ll come back later to pick it up.” Chu Qingyu had been pampered since she was young and had never done any heavy work before. She could not stand the heat and fanned herself as she said anxiously.

Madam Wang had always doted on her only daughter. When she heard this, she naturally followed her daughter’s words.

“Qing’er, go back and rest well. Don’t tire yourself out.”

‘Mother, I know. I’ll be leaving then. I’ve also filled this kettle for you.” Chu Qingyu had grown up spoiled and could not bear hardships. Now that Madam Wang had agreed, she got up and went home.

After her daughter left, Madam Wang ate a few mouthfuls of rice. She felt indignant and pushed Chu Cai, who was beside her. “Old Chu, aren’t you angry?

“Why should I be angry?” Chu Cai did not understand.

“Third Sister-in-law has been sending food to the Qi Mansion these few days. Previously, the two children were here, so it’s fine. Look now, our parents are working in the fields and the two children have gone back. She must have deliberately sent them over. Wouldn’t this show that we’re not filial enough compared to her?” Madam Wang was meticulous, so she thought a lot.

“You’re overthinking, aren’t you? Third Sister-in-law is just being filial. Why do you have to doubt her?”

“Think about it. No matter how delicious the dish is, it’s just a dish. How much can it be worth? If one really wants to show their filial piety, why don’t they give other precious things?” Chu Cai did not forget to eat after saying that..
