Peasant Woman's Decreed Life as a Wife

Chapter 490 - 490: Can ‘t Be Deliberated

Chu Lin looked at the mother and daughter with reddish eyes.

He sighed slightly. “Qingxiang, Madam Zhang, go wash up first. Your makeup is all smudged.”

“Mother’s words…” Chu Lin hesitated for a moment. He looked at his persistent daughter and said, “Think about it.”

“I’ll go to the fields and finish the rest of the work. Things can’t be solved immediately.”

Madam Zhang sniffed, stood up, and called Chu Lin, “Husband, what do you think?”

“Didn’t I say it before? A forced melon isn’t sweet.” Chu Lin’s voice became softer when he said this. “Qingxiang is still young. You always tell her that she can only live a good life if she marries someone who has achieved something.”

“In my opinion, you’re wrong about this. You only see that Third Sister-in-law is living well, but don’t you see how Third Sister-in-law’s health was ruined when she was laughed at by the clan in the past? She’s still recuperating now.”

“Also, not everyone is as responsible as Third Brother. If Song Lu is a good person, why hasn’t he come over to explain to our family for so long? Even yesterday, he wasn’t seen with the Song family.” Chu Lin was a little angry. “If it’s just the Song Lu’s sister who isn’t easy to get along with, it’s fine. She’s going to get married in the future anyway.”

“But even Song Lu can’t be relied on now. So what if he’s a scholar?”

As a man, Chu Lin naturally understood that it was best to marry someone one liked. Only then would he be willing to respect and love the other party.

However, if his daughter could not even rely on the man she was going to marry, then it was fine if she did not marry him.

Chu Qingxiang’s eyes were red. She pursed her lips tightly and did not say anything. However, her slightly trembling figure showed that she was very uneasy.

Madam Zhang looked at her daughter’s absent-minded appearance and her heart ached. “Alright, stop talking.”

“This is the fault of you and me as parents!” Chu Lin was extremely regretful, but he knew that it was useless to talk about this now. It was his family’s fault for encountering such a troublesome thing.

Chu Lin strode away.

Madam Zhang supported Chu Qingxiang and returned to the house.

Zhang Shu did not just wait. After he arrived, he looked for Old Madam Wang and got the job of feeding the chickens, ducks, and cows. After waiting for a while, he saw Madam and Old Madam come out.

Then, he entered the room.

He stood obediently in front of the cowshed.

Old Madam Wang came over after finishing her work. Seeing his honest appearance, she thought that he would definitely not say anything to the outside world. She could not help but complain. “I wonder if this wedding can continue.”

“We shouldn’t talk about that.” Zhang Shu understood that if he went to other people’s houses, Ye Muyu would want him to inquire about some things.

However, it was different for his family. No matter what, he had to hide it.

Old Madam Wang felt that he was too straightforward, but she was also choked by his answer.

“We’re all working for the same family, that’s why I’m gossiping with you,” she explained softly.

“You can gossip about other people’s family, but you can’t gossip about the master’s family. Be careful not to be sold.” Zhang Shu was serious.

Old Madam Wang was frightened by him and her expression changed slightly. After a long time, she did not dare to say anything else and turned around to leave quickly.

Zhang Shu looked down and was very determined in his heart. Their employer was definitely not something that servants like them could criticize. He would not touch this bottom line..
