Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“I hope you can understand what I mean by saying this in front of you today.”

Madam Zhangs face turned pale. She looked at Ye Muyu in panic. “Third Sister-in-law, it won’t happen. Qingxiang wouldn’t dare…”

“She didn’t mean it…”

“Sister-in-law, I’m only being so straightforward. You should know better than me that she’s your biological daughter after all.”

“Go back. I accept your apology.” In other words, she did not want to accept Chu Qingxiang and did not want to spend any time with her niece anymore.

No one liked to be with a person who even schemed against their family.

Madam Zhang could not say anything else. She could only mumble, “I will teach her when I go back. She will get married in the future. Third Sister-in-law, don’t worry.”

Ye Muyu was not very assured. Her marriage was still related to her maiden family.

In short, Ye Muyu needed to be wary of this person and not get close to her.

“Yes.” Ye Muyu nodded.

She asked Madam Hu to send Madam Zhang off.

Madam Zhang left in a daze.

She had suffered a huge blow today. Not only was it her mother’s resolute attitude, but it was also her third sister-in-law’s unyielding attitude. She was caught in the middle, worried and helpless.

However, she knew very well that the one in the wrong this time was really Qingxiang. Yet, Qingxiang refused to admit it!

The moment she returned home…

Madam Zhang was so angry that she drank a cup of cold water. “You went to see Third Sister-in-law?” Chu Lin asked when he saw her.

“Yes, I went to apologize.”

“I’ll go too.” Chu Lin did not say anything more. He turned around and left. Before he left, he even carried a basket on his back.

Madam Zhang wanted to ask him what he was doing, but she did not dare to ask. After thinking for a while, she went to Chu Qingxiang’s room and repeated what Ye Muyu said.

Chu Lin went to Chu Xing’s house first. He got on a mule cart with him and went to the outer village to buy around seven watermelons.

It was the season to eat watermelons. In the past, there were people selling watermelons in the county, but the quantity was scarce and the price was high. This year, many fruit farmers planted watermelons, so the price dropped.

With Chu Xing’s connections, it was only the afternoon after he finished buying them.

The two of them ate some biscuits for lunch.

When they arrived at the village, Chu Lin sent the watermelon to Chu Heng’s house. After Ye Muyu came out, he apologized to her in a low voice and carried the watermelon in.

Ye Muyu actually believed in Madam Liu’s character. She must have said something that caused Chu Lin and Madam Zhang to react this way.

She just did not know what Madam Liu had said.

It seemed that the two of them had suffered a huge blow.

Ye Muyu did not refuse. Madam Liu must have known that Chu Lin and Madam Zhang had gone to her place. Madam Liu wanted them to apologize to her.

Chu Qingxiang’s performance still disappointed her.

However, since Ye Muyu no longer treated her as a family member and had said that she would not hold it against her this time, she would let it go.

Ye Muyu looked at the busy Chu Lin and hoped that there would not be a next time.

Otherwise…

She pursed her lips.

After Chu Lin moved all the watermelons in, she called the two of them for tea.

Chu Xing drank it happily. “Sister-in-law, bitter gourd tea indeed cools your body. It tastes good after drinking it for a while.”

“It’s just a little bitter, but it’s actually good for the body,” Ye Muyu explained with a smile.

“It’s very good. It’s refreshing.” Chu Xing finished it in two or three mouthfuls.

Chu Lin finished his drink in silence. “Thank you for your hospitality, Third Sister-in-law. If you need anything, just come to me. I’ll go back first. I’ll be harvesting the rice in a few days.”

“Okay, then you guys should go back soon.”

She did not mention anything about the watermelon, as if they had tacitly agreed to let this matter go..
