Chapter 56: The Quiet Chu Family

  As soon as she mentioned her child, Mrs. Mo's tears flowed again.

  She didn't know she should think for the sake of her children? But since Master Chu had said so, what could she do about it?

  As soon as the outsider was gone, Madam Mo no longer hid and told Cuifang what Old Master Chu had said that morning. After listening, Cuifang thought for a moment and smiled at Madam Mo: "Auntie, don't worry! This family of yours will definitely be divided!"

  Mo Shi asked again, but Cui Hua didn't say anything else. She only reminded Mo Shi to lie on the kang and rest for these days, saying she was injured and couldn't move. As for other things, they would be taken care of by her and Mei Hua.

  Before Mo could speak again, the sound of Gui Hua and Chu Yande's voices came from outside the door.

  As soon as she saw that Guihua was back, Cuihua glared at her with a bad temper. Guihua pretended not to understand and climbed onto the kang with a smile, working together with Chuyande, each taking care of one of Moshi's legs, knocking and massaging them for Moshi.

  "Alas, Auntie, you truly are blessed! Look at Guihua and Xiaode, they're so sensible. I don't know when my own family will be like Xiaode's, with such filial piety towards me!" Cuihua couldn't help but sigh.

  "Haha!" Osmanthus smiled and said: "Sister, you are really interesting. Your son is only three years old, but he's already very filial! Last time we went out to pick wild vegetables, we found some fruits, and Xiaode brought them back for Ritian to eat, but that child said he wanted to save them for you and Liu Baozhen!"

  "You're so sweet-tongued!" Cuihua smiled and pinched Guihua's nose, then chatted with Mrs. Mo for a few more sentences before leaving the Chu residence.

  Just as she was walking to the Chu family gate, she suddenly said loudly, "Auntie, you just rest and recover from your illness, if there's anything urgent later, just send a child to call me."

  Having said that, she left without waiting for Mo's reaction.

  Watching Cuihua's performance, Guihua couldn't help but touch her nose: This Cuihua is indeed a unique person!

  Let's talk about the main room again.

  After that incident in the morning, Xu Shi sat on the edge of the bed, looking stunned and lost in thought, as if he had been plucked like a rooster.

  Chu Lao Ye Zi leaned on the kang for a while and felt stuffy, so he got up and carried his hoe to the ground.

  Chu Liwen was worried that her face would leave some bad marks, so as soon as the others dispersed, she ran back to her room, fetched clean water and washed her face repeatedly until her skin turned slightly red before stopping. She then took out her treasured rouge and powder, applied a moderate amount on her face, and only when she was certain that nothing could be seen did she let out a sigh of relief, sitting on the edge of the bed in a daze, lost in thought.

  Actually, Mrs. Xü also heard the voice of Cuìhuā, but this old woman was still somewhat afraid of Cuìhuā, and with something on her mind, she really didn't want to provoke her again, so she just stayed in the house like a frost-bitten eggplant, refusing to come out no matter what.

  It wasn't until she heard Cui Hua's words as she left the door that she came to her senses, suddenly lifting her head to look out the window. Her hands were clenched into fists, and her face was twisted in hatred, as if she wanted to kill someone. "Those who are beaten to death one by one, just because they were beaten with a shoe sole, why do you want to raise them? Didn't my Xiaowen also get beaten with a shoe sole, but isn't she fine?"

  Because of what happened in the morning, the Chu family was unusually quiet for the rest of the day, and it wasn't until dinner time that someone finally started preparing to eat.
