Chapter 674: As the Matriarch, One Must Be Generous

No matter what age they were, they did not want to be looked down upon. Chu Heng becoming a high scholar was a joyous occasion for the entire Chu family.
They did not want to be despised and looked now upon everywhere.
Speaking of which, Chu Hongmei’s attitude made these men feel a little uncomfortable.
They had been farming for a lifetime. Although they were poor, thet still had a backbone.
Could it be that they were being looked down upon just because they were poor?
That would be too sad.
It had to be said that Chu Hongmei felt that she was smart for once, but she had left a bad impression on her brothers. It had to be said that the difference in values between people from two different worlds was not small, and there were naturally many conflicts.
Chu Heng took a sip of tea and slowly ate.
On the other hand, Chu Hongmei returned to her seat and saw that the second branch’s Madam Sun had left her seat.
She quickly called Luo Qingxue over.
After sitting down, Luo Qingxue called out to them one by one, very sensible.
The few old ladies of the Chu family smiled and nodded. They naturally would not say anything to the younger generation, let alone make things difficult for them.
Even though Madam Qian was angry, she did not vent her anger on Luo Qingxue.
“Ah Heng’s wife, I heard that those landlord lords sent many beautiful maids over?” The moment Chu Hongmei opened her mouth. It was a very sensitive topic.
Ye Muyu watched her performance indifferently.
Chu Hongmei continued. “Speaking of which, you’re in the wrong. Ah Heng is already a high scholar. How can there only be one woman in the back?”
“Could it be that you forced Ah Heng not to have those maids and concubines?”
“Second Aunt, you’re thinking too much. I’m very busy, and I don’t have time to look at the gifts. Naturally, I won’t force my husband like Second Aunt said. I wonder how many beautiful concubines Second Uncle has in his backyard?” Ye Muyu really felt that Chu Hongmei was out of her mind to slander her.
Madam Liu’s face turned cold as well. “Our Ah Heng is still young and your family has money now. Naturally, he needs to continue taking the exam. What do you mean? Are you trying to let Ah Heng indulge in his beauty and delay the exam?”
The others also looked at her with surprise and curiosity.
Chu Hongmei was thick-skinned. She thought that these sisters-in-law from the countryside would not appear in the circle of Luo Yun County anyway, so she was not afraid of offending anyone.
However, Ye Muyu’s question made her face darken. “Ah Heng’s wife, I’ve already said that you don’t know the rules. How can a junior like you ask about your aunt’s internal affairs?”
“I’m sorry, I’m curious too.” Madam Liu immediately retorted.
Chu Hongmei choked. “Third Sister-in-law, my husband also has beautiful concubines. Naturally, I went to find them myself. In a wealthy family, it’s the rule to carry on the husband’s bloodline.”
She looked at the shocked expressions of the few of them proudly. She was indeed not lying. It was just that the concubines at home could not resist at all. She was naturally proud.
“If you ask me, how can rich families only have one woman? If there really is one, then it’s because they’re jealous.”
“I think the servant girl sent over this time is very good-looking. I saw her from afar.”
“These concubines are different from what you know. They are all skilled. They either know how to dance, play instruments, or are outstanding in appearance. They are also very good at serving people.”
“Ah Heng’s wife, if you want to be the wife of a high scholar, you have a lot to learn. As the matriarch, you have to be magnanimous. If you are still so jealous, I’m afraid it will affect Ah Heng’s future. At that time, divorcing you will be a small matter.”
“Mother.” Luo Qingxue called her softly. Her eyes were full of helplessness. She looked at the old ladies and said, “I’m sorry. Every time my mother drinks too much, she starts spouting nonsense.”
