Peasant Woman’s Decreed Life as a Wife

  Chapter 242 Uncle's Family

  Seeing Chu Heng, Mrs. Zhang immediately restrained her shrew appearance just now, and said with a smile: "The third brother is here? Come in quickly, Mom and Dad have been waiting for you for a while."

   "Yes." Chu Heng nodded, and called Lu Chuan to enter the door with a gift.

   Two more bolts of cloth are needed for the old house.

  Placing the gifts on the table in the main room, Mrs. Zhang smiled even more from ear to ear. Compared with previous years, this year's cloth is obviously better. It can be seen that the third brother has not forgotten his parents, and only cares about his daughter-in-law.

  Ms. Zhang is indeed envious of Ye Muyu, but she is even more afraid that Chu Heng only has a daughter-in-law and no parents in his heart.

  Seeing this gift now, she felt relieved, and thought of what Mrs. Li said before, and at the same time couldn't help but glance at Chu Heng.

   "Father, mother, my son pays respects to you, and the Dragon Boat Festival is safe and healthy." Chu Heng said.

  Chu Zhiwen had a happy smile on his face: "Third brother, you are also on vacation these two days, will you go to the county to watch the children compete?"

   "I'm going." Chu Heng nodded. He might not have cared about it before, but this time Ye Muyu definitely wanted to go. He was worried about her going alone.

"We set off together in the afternoon. It just so happened that someone from your grandparents' house might be going to the county this time. Although your grandparents' house is far away, every village has been notified of this female art competition. My uncle's family has people of suitable age. My cousin will definitely go to the county when the time comes."

   "Your mother may not have seen the second elder for a long time."

   "However, there must be a lot of people in the county today. Those restaurants and teahouses are full of people. After discussing with your elder brother, I decided to meet in the second courtyard behind his shop in the county."

  Chu Heng was not surprised. He had a yard in the county, but he hadn't told his family yet. It was also used for business, and it wasn't suitable for his family to live in, so he didn't mention it.

   "Father, yes, since it is a holiday, I will prepare a gift for my uncle's family."

   "I don't know what the elder brother has prepared?"

  Chu Heng does not intend to cross Chu Lin's family, after all he is the eldest son.

   Mrs. Zhang was even more satisfied after hearing what he said. Although the third brother's admission to the scholar did bring a lot of convenience to the clan, it should be taken seriously.

  But she and Chu Lin also try their best to shoulder the responsibility of being the eldest son. If this kind of matter that should be expressed by the eldest son exceeds them, it is inevitable that they will feel unhappy.

   But obviously, the third brother never showed them the face of being a big brother and sister-in-law, which made Zhang even more satisfied with this brother.

   Naturally, I was even more angry with those gossiping.

   "I have prepared five-grain rice dumplings, a piece of cloth, a sling of money, and two cans of blessing cakes and brown sugar."

   "My grandfather's house is in the deep mountains, and there are the most tea leaves, so there is no need to prepare tea."

   "As for wine, drinking in the deep mountains is easy to cause accidents, so I'm not prepared." Mrs. Zhang told Chu Heng the list of gifts.

  Chu Heng nodded: "Yes, I will let Mrs. Ye prepare according to this."

   "Actually, there is no need for a sling of money." Chu Liu also felt sorry for her parents, but there was nothing she could do.

  The Liu family’s hometown was originally in the mountains. When she got married, the Liu family couldn’t survive in the county. They had to sell the second house and enter a small courtyard, leaving some savings and returning to their hometown.

  And her father thinks that the tea business can also be done, and there may be a way out when going back to grow tea.

  Who knows, later his father almost fell from the tea mountain, his muscles and bones were broken, and his legs and feet were not good, so he had to give up most of the tea mountain and focus on growing food.

   Although life is not considered rich and honor nowadays, it is still passable.

  Every year, the Chu Liu family will bring Xiao Jingyin back, since Chu Heng was admitted as a scholar.
