Chapter 8 (2/2)

”You're going out to do business now, but the holy master attaches great importance to you. This is the blessing of our Chu family. It's too late for mother to be happy. I'm worried to call you when I hear you're back. I'll have a cup of tea to moisten my throat first.”

Chu Zhang drank a cup of tea and said a few words with the old lady before getting to the point.

”The mother is so anxious to call her son over, but something important?”

”As soon as you left the front foot that day, zhier went back to the house. Your father and daughter didn't meet. When you settle down later, your father and daughter can have dinner together!”

Chu Zhang nodded: ”if it weren't for something, it would have been time for father and daughter to meet.”

”It should be.”

The old lady then called her big servant girl Linglong: ”tell the girl that the master is back and ask her to freshen up and come to my side for dinner.”

Linglong took orders.

If they really just asked their father and daughter to meet and have a meal, they would not be in such a hurry.

Although the old lady is smiling now, she can obviously feel the anger on her body.

Then he asked, ”does the mother have anything to say to her son?”

The old lady sighed and told Chu Zhang everything that had happened from the day Chu Zhi returned to his house to today.

When she heard Wu slap Chu Zhi and scold ”wild seed” by pointing to her nose, she patted the table directly.

”That's unreasonable!” Chu Zhang was furious. ”Zhi'er didn't get close to her just after she returned to the house. I can still understand. After all, zhi'er hasn't been raised with her since she was born. But zhi'er is always her own daughter. How can she be so cold and beat zhi'er? It's humiliating to scold such disgusting words!”

Seeing Chu Zhang so angry, the old lady was not angry.

She slowly turned the Buddha beads in her hand and said slowly, ”I asked someone to find out. It was Xier who lost his temper and smashed the house all over when she heard that I gave zhier two materials. Your daughter-in-law coaxed her to find zhier.”

Chu Zhang immediately heard the meaning of my words: ”mother means...”

Although Chu Xi is not her own blood, she was raised from childhood after all. Chu Zhang loves Chu Xi no less than anyone.

He said, ”Xi'er is really charming occasionally, but she is not the kind of person who gossip and sow discord. Besides, we agreed early in the morning that zhi'er's return to the house does not affect Xi'er. We keep Xi'er as usual. She is still the five girls of the Chu family. There is no reason to frame zhi'er!”

The old lady said, ”I know you love Xi'er. Some things are not whether you can afford it, but whether you can.”

”I didn't want to send her away. Actually, your daughter-in-law did too much. Zhi'er went back to the house for seven or eight days. She just ignored zhi'er. She took Xi'er out to meet the appointment every day, either cutting clothes or making jewelry, but she didn't know that zhi'er's clothes were old and broken! I just gave zhi'er two pieces of material today, and she beat zhi'er for Xi'er's grievance. What about later ”I must hurt zhier more than anyone else. Does she have to make trouble at home every day and torture and beat zhier?”

”Mother is serious, Wu Shi. She doesn't have the courage.” Chu Zhang quickly got up and apologized.

The old lady sneered: ”hum! She has no courage. Who did today?”

Chu Zhang was embarrassed.

Seeing Chu Zhang so, the old lady knew that he couldn't bear Chu Xi.

Sure enough, Chu Zhang said, ”after all, Xi'er is used to rich clothes and food in our house and is spoiled by us. She hasn't suffered since childhood. How can she stand it if she suddenly sends it back? It's better for her son to go back and teach Wu a good lesson, so that she can have a bowl of water in the future and nothing similar to today will happen again. Please rest assured.”

Smelling the speech, the old lady said, ”you have all figured out the countermeasures. What else can I say? Just remember, if something like today happens again...”

”The son promised his mother that he would never.” Chu Zhang hurriedly promised.

”Forget it.” the old lady sighed, ”go to the ear room to freshen up first. When the branch comes, your father and daughter will have a good meal.”

”Yes, son.”
