Ye Muyu saw this and still had a gentle smile on her face. “Second Aunt, you can drink tea while you wait. However, the tea leaves are very ordinary. Please don’t mind.”

When Madam Liu heard her daughter-in-law say this, she was a little surprised.

Logically speaking, she had never said that Chu Hongmei was not easy to get along with. She was clearly a country bumpkin, but she often put on the airs of a rich family.

“It’s okay, it’s okay. This… I can understand, but now that Ah Heng has become a high scholar, so why would he be afraid of not having good tea?” Disdain flashed across Chu Hongjun’s eyes, but she covered her mouth and snickered on the surface, looking like she was teasing him.

Ye Muyu saw this and thought that this second aunt was probably not someone easy to get along with.

“Second Sister-in-law, I’ll bring Ah Heng’s wife to greet the others.” When Madam Liu heard Chu Hongmei’s words, she wanted to roll her eyes. She knew that Chu Hongmei wanted to get close to her third son.

Forget it, it was human nature.

However, ever since she married into a side branch of the Luo family in Luo Yun County, she looked down on the country bumpkins.

That was fine. She had to compete with others in everything. Every time she spoke, she would not be pleasant to the ears. She would smugly belittle others. Madam Liu could not be bothered to associate with such a person. She did not even like her. She only felt that she was an eyesore.

However, Chu Hongmei did not have any self-awareness at all. She glanced at Ye Muyu and could not help but complain, “Ah Heng is not considerate at all. Look at what Ah Heng’s wife is wearing. Is it only a jade hairpin?”

“The material of this dress is not good either. If I had known earlier, I would have told me. I would have brought back some good fabric for Ah Heng’s wife in Luo Yun County. I’m afraid there will be a lot of guests these few days. If outsiders see it, I’m afraid they will gossip.” frёewebnoѵēl.com

Madam Liu’s face darkened. Sure enough, Chu Hongmei’s mouth was like a dog’s.

“Ah Yu, you’re indeed too low-key. You didn’t wear any good clothes even when you had them. Your aunt has misunderstood you. Are you unwilling to use the fabric and jewelry Ah Heng brought from the prefecture city again?” Madam Liu asked calmly.

How could Ye Muyu not know what her mother-in-law meant? A hint of a smile flashed across her eyes. It seemed that her mother-in-law did not have a good relationship with her second aunt, who did not have much contact with her.

“Mother, isn’t everyone living in the village?” She asked with a red face. “I’ll feel bad if the material is damaged. We should dress based on who we are meeting, right? Isn’t this etiquette?”

Madam Liu knew that her daughter-in-law was smart and instantly understood what she meant. She smiled and said, “You’re a kind child. Yes, our family is not that rich and needs to deliberately show off. Everyone is close to each other. If you wear silk and satin in the village, everyone will feel good when they see it. They won’t be willing to get along with you.”

Chu Hongmei’s expression changed. She felt that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were mocking her.

“Third Sister-in-law, you’re too kind. Since you’re not on the same side, why do you have to deal with those people? Isn’t that losing face?”

“Second Sister-in-law, do you mean that my family’s status is low, and it’s embarrassing for you to mingle with us?” Madam Liu asked directly. free𝑤ebnovel.com

Chu Hongmei immediately reacted. Her words just now had offended her family, who she had looked down on in the past.

“Third Sister-in-law, you’ve misunderstood. I was just trying to persuade you out of goodwill. How could you misunderstand me?”

As she spoke, Chu Hongmei wiped her tears aggrievedly.

Ye Muyu looked at her apologetic face, but she pushed the blame onto the other party. This person was really selfish.

“Second Aunt, I know that you’re ‘kind’ in reminding Mother to forget her roots and not interact with relatives who are not well-off, but Mother is kind-hearted and can’t do it. After all, everyone is used to interacting with each other. How can we just say that we don’t interact with each other? Besides, relatives who are not well-off don’t eat my family’s rice. It’s better to have a conscience.” Ye Muyu’s voice was soft and innocent.
