On the surface, Chu Qingxiang looked like she was protected by Song Lu, and her wish was fulfilled. Song Qing also would not have to marry Luo Dalin but at the cost of not marrying for a lifetime.
Both sides suffered heavy losses.
After leaving the Song family, Ye Muyu’s hand was held by the man beside her. She did not feel cold and walked back to the Ye family.
She could not help but sigh. “The human heart is so cunning. In the end, you won’t get anything. Why bother?”
“Perhaps they are too wicked and not confident. They think that the other party has ulterior motives if they treat them well. Naturally, they can only rely on schemes to get what they want.” Chu Heng’s explanation made Ye Muyu laugh.
As she laughed, she felt that whether it was Chu Qingxiang or Song Qing, they could have gotten anything, but they had to come to this point.
They pushed away everything that was within their reach.
“I’m afraid Song Lu doesn’t trust them completely anymore,” Ye Muyu mumbled.
Chu Heng’s eyes darkened when she mentioned another man. He reached out and pinched the tip of her nose. “Ah Yu, you still have the mood to care about others. Why don’t you care about me more?”
“How am I not concerned about you? I take care of you every day. Don’t push your luck.” Ye Muyu chuckled.
Chu Heng squeezed her hand even tighter. “I just want you to care about me more. It’s other people’s business. You don’t have to care much.”
“Yes, I understand. I don’t want to think about other people’s matters anymore.” Ye Muyu knew that her husband needed to be coaxed, so she was not stingy and coaxed him gently.
“Let’s go and help Mother pick vegetables. Mother’s skills in making pickles are very good. This time, we’ll take another jar back. With you here, Mother will definitely not be stingy.” Ye Muyu pulled him and strode toward the vegetable field beside the Ye Family’s house.
Chu Heng chased after her with big strides.
Old Madam Ye had just prepared a large basket of cabbages. When she saw the two of them coming over, she said proudly, “The frost this year is very good. The cabbages are very delicious.”
“Mother, let me help you.”
“What are you doing here? It’s so cold. Aren’t you afraid of hurting your hands?” Old Madam Ye chased her away and did not let her touch her. “With your body, I’m afraid you’ll catch a cold at night if I touch you.”
“How can I be that fragile?” Ye Muyu pouted.
“Ah Yu, Mother-in-law is right. You haven’t recovered yet. You don’t need to do this manual labor. I’ll do it.”
As he spoke, he tidied up his black robe and bent down to pick the cabbage leaves. The outermost layer of yellow leaves was placed in the dustpan beside him to feed the chickens.
The good cabbage leaves were put into the basket and taken home to be pickled and made into pickled vegetables.
Old Madam Ye called Ye Muyu over and pouted her lips. “Look, my son-in-law is so capable.”
“Scholars are indeed different. They can endure hardship and study. Your mother has good taste, right? I saw him at first glance and said that he was a good man.”
Only then did Ye Muyu remember that it was indeed Old Madam Ye who took the initiative to propose marriage to Chu Heng.
“Mother, I’ll go home and start a fire. You guys can use the stove when you come back.” Ye Muyu first praised Old Madam Ye while thinking she had to do some proper work too. She could not let Chu Heng do all of it.
The concern was mutual.
“Alright, you can go back. Call your father over to carry the cabbage.”
Now that the family was living well, Old Madam Ye was more confident and had begun to ask for more from Ye Dejiang.
“Mother, I understand.” Ye Muyu was also happy that her parents had a good relationship. She smiled lightly and said goodbye to Chu Heng before returning to the house.
After calling Ye Dejiang, she entered the kitchen.
She then lighted a fire.
