Chu Heng looked at her in surprise. He felt that Madam Ye was quite sensible today, so he restrained his anger a little. He tapped his fingers on the table gently. After three times, he said, “Mother will come over in the afternoon. After I go to the county tomorrow, the two children will be raised in the old residence first. Big Brother’s daughter Qingxiang will look after them. Coincidentally, I asked Ziluo to go over and learn something.”
“As for Chu Jin, he’s usually too insensible. Although he’s young, he’s even good at writing and reading. Chu Bo is only a few months older than him.”
“You mean you want to send the two children to the old residence to raise them?” Ye Muyu’s pupils constricted and her lips pursed. She felt that she might have misjudged the relationship between the host and her husband.
Looking at Chu Heng’s current actions, it was obvious that he was dissatisfied with the host for not teaching the two children well.
If that was the case, her situation would be a little peculiar.
“How long will they be there for?” Ye Muyu asked calmly.
Chu Heng stared at her while Ye Muyu tried to calm herself down.
After a while, Chu Heng said, “Send them over first.”
However, he did not say the exact time.
Ye Muyu frowned. She was not stupid. In ancient times, it was very embarrassing and strange for a woman not to be able to take care of their children. What would outsiders think of her if she sent them to the elders instead of raising it?
Even those sisters-in-law would probably talk about it behind their backs.
If she had to accompany Chu Heng to the county and could not take care of the child, it would be understandable. However, the truth was that she would probably still have to stay in the village, and the child would be raised by the Chu family’s parents.
“Do you think it’s appropriate to do this?” She pursed her lips tightly.”
“It’s suitable.” Chu Heng’s voice was very cold, as if he was determined to do so.
Ye Muyu was also a little angry. She was angry because she felt that this person did not give her basic respect.
Her expression was still calm, but her voice became tough. “Something like this has never happened in the village. It’s best not to do something that will make people laugh at you.”
She did not like to do such troublesome things.
If there were any problems, they could always be solved by laying it out. There was no need to deliberately target them.
“Laughter now is temporary. It will be a real joke if you continue to be like this when you grow up.” Chu Heng insisted.
He did not dare to be at ease with Madam Ye, and he could not be at ease either.
This time, he was just testing the waters. It was also for the good of the two children. He had no choice but to do this. Even if it would affect his reputation in the future, it was better than ruining the two children.
Ye Muyu looked at him. The man’s face was determined. If it was someone unrelated, they would actually admire him. At least, the two children had a father who was willing to take responsibility for them. Their future was not bad. Although this person’s temper was not very good, at least he was a responsible person.
However, she was being despised even though she was the children’s mother.
“Are you sure?” Ye Muyu sorted out her emotions and was no longer angry. Her strongest point had always been to adapt and find the most suitable position for herself. For example, if her husband Chu Heng expressed disgust towards her, she would take it as it was and maintain a respectful relationship with him.
The two children were related to this body by blood. Naturally, she could not ignore them. She just had to teach the two children well.
As for the rest, there was no need to force it.
“Yes.” Chu Heng replied.
Ye Muyu did not say anything more and said, “Okay, I know. I’ll tell them myself later.”
Chu Heng was a little surprised, as if he did not expect Madam Ye to agree so quickly.
