Chapter 892: Stupid

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Then dress a little worse in the future.” She also understood that her son had been schemed against, and that he was not stopped because he was stingy. For a moment, she did not know what to say.

“Mother, what about the wood?” Madam Wang asked with red eyes.

“Aren’t you angry that Second Brother and that woman…” Madam Liu coughed lightly and did not say anything else.

Madam Wang shook her head. “I’m not angry. Every time Chu Cai gets drunk, he sleeps like a dead pig. How could anything happen? How would outsiders understand him better than do?”

“Mother, you see? I told you I wasn’t lying.” Chu Cai smiled happily.

“That woman must be trying to cheat me of my money. How can I give it to her? I can’t even bear to spend five copper coins on buns.” Chu Cai was stingy and confident.

Madam Wang also nodded.

“Mother, the main thing now is the wood. We must find Old Master Xu to get the money for the wood back. This is too much. He actually harmed honest people like us. You know Chu Cai’s personality. He’s not the type to drink around,” Madam Wang said anxiously.

“Actually, I haven’t been able to find Old Master Xu for the past two days.” Chu Cai was also worried.

“What is it? You can’t find him?” Madam Wang almost fainted.

“Alright, with your IQ, you don’t even know why you were cheated of all your assets.”

“Third Brother, tell me, where is he?”

“In the county jail.”

“Why did he go to jail?”

Chu Heng glanced at his second brother. “Didn’t I ask you to sign the contract with the other party last time? If he doesn’t pay the money after signing it, he’d be breaking the law. Naturally, you can ask the magistrate to arrest him.”

“Third Brother, did you send people to capture him? Third Brother is smart. He was able to catch him in time.” Madam Wang’s eyes lit up.

“It was your third brother who helped you investigate Old Master Xu from the beginning. He knew that Old Master Xu was unreliable, so he was able to catch him in time. Otherwise, if your things were cheated away, you wouldn’t even know.” Madam Liu also understood at this moment, pointing at the heads of Madam Wang and Chu Cai.

“Mother, if you have time, go to the county office and ask around. It’s the new year, and this case is quite big. The county will delay it for a while. You can go after you’re done. I’ll go back first.” Chu Heng stood up and turned to leave.

When he finally walked out of the old residence, his footsteps were very light.

The two children followed behind and soon reached home.

The next morning…

Chu Heng brought Ye Muyu back to her mother’s house.

Madam Zhang and Madam Wang also went back to their maiden family.

In the next few days, they exchanged greetings and gave each other New Year gifts. The New Year gifts that they had prepared earlier were used.

On the fourth and fifth day of the New Year, they began to welcome the God of Wealth.

Since everything was ready, there was no trouble.

Early the next morning, Ye Muyu woke up and made dumplings with Madam Hu.

On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, they had to make vegetarian dumplings. It was a symbol of good luck, in hopes of a peaceful year ahead.

“Mother, what flavor of dumplings are there today?” Early in the morning, Chu Jin and Chu Ziluo put on their new clothes and ran into the kitchen.

Now that the family did not lack money to spend, the red festive clothes made were very auspicious.

“Egg vermicelli, pickled cabbage, tofu, and mushroom.” Ye Muyu tried her best to make the taste more appetizing.

Each filling was thin and filled with gravy.

“Mother, I’ll wrap it too. I know how to wrap gold ingot dumplings!” Chu Jin ran to wash his hands and wiped them clean with a clean handkerchief before starting to make the gold ingot dumplings.
