When she saw Chu Heng, Madam Zhang immediately restrained her shrew appearance and smiled, “Third Brother is here? Come in quickly. Father and

Mother have been waiting for you for a while.”

“Yes.” Chu Heng nodded and asked Lu Chuan to bring the gifts in.

He gave two extra rolls of cloth to the old residence.

Putting the gifts on the table in the central room, Madam Zhang smiled even more. Compared to previous years, the cloth this year were obviously better. It could be seen that Third Brother had not forgotten his parents and did not only care about spoiling his wife.

Madam Zhang indeed envied Ye Muyu, but she was more afraid that Chu Heng only had his wife in his heart and not his parents.

Now that she saw this gift, she felt much more relieved. She thought of what Madam Li had said before and could not help but look at Chu Heng a few times.

“Father, Mother, I wish you all a happy and healthy Dragon Boat Festival,” Chu Heng said.

Chu Zhiwen had a happy smile on his face. “Old Third, you’re on holiday these two days. Will you go to the county to watch the children compete?”

“Yes.” Chu Heng nodded. He might not have minded it before, but this time, Ye Muyu was definitely going. He was worried about her going alone.

“Then we’ll set off together in the afternoon. Coincidentally, someone from your maternal grandfather’s house might be going to the county this time. Although your maternal grandfather’s house is far away, every village has been notified of this female arts competition. Your youngest uncle’s family has a daughter of the right age. She will definitely go to the county when the time comes.”

“Your mother hasn’t seen the two elders for a long time.”

“However, there will definitely be a lot of people in the county today. The restaurants and teahouses will be full. After discussing with your brother, we’ve decided to meet in the small courtyard behind his family’s shop in the county.”

Chu Heng was not surprised. He had never told his family that he had a courtyard in the county. It was for his business and was not suitable for his family to live in, so he did not mention it. “Father, sure. Since it’s a holiday, I’ll prepare a gift for Uncle’s family.” “I wonder what Big Brother has prepared?”

Chu Heng did not plan on surpassing Chu Lin’s family when it came to giving gifts. After all, he was the eldest son.

As expected, Madam Zhang was even more satisfied when she heard him say this. Chu Heng’s identity as an Elementary Scholar had indeed brought a lot of convenience to the clan, and he should also be valued.

However, she and Chu Lin were also trying their best to shoulder the responsibility of being the eldest son. If this kind of matter that should be expressed by the eldest son was ignored by them, it was inevitable that they would be unhappy.

Clearly, Chu Heng had never overstepped his big brother and sister-in-law. This made Madam Zhang even more satisfied with this brother-in-law.

Naturally, she was even more angry at those who gossiped.

“I’ve prepared five-grain rice dumplings, a roll of cloth, a string of money, as well as two cans of blessing cake and brown sugar.”

“My maternal grandfather’s house is deep in the mountains. There are the most tea leaves, so there’s no need to prepare tea.”

“As for the wine, it’s easy to get into trouble if you drink in the mountains. I don’t think we should prepare it.” Madam Zhang told Chu Heng the list of gifts.

“Sure. I’ll get Madam Ye to prepare accordingly.” Chu Heng nodded.

“Actually, you don’t need to give a string of money.” Madam Liu also felt sorry for her parents, but she had no choice.

The Liu family’s hometown was deep in the mountains. When she got married, the Liu family could not live in the county anymore. They could only sell their second courtyard and save up some silver before returning to their hometown.

Moreover, her father felt that he could also do business in the tea industry. There might be a way out if he went back to plant tea.

Who knew that his father would almost fall off the tea mountain later on, injuring his tendons and bones? His legs were not good, so he could only give up most of the tea mountain and focus on growing food.

Although his current life was not considered rich, it was still passable.

Every year, Madam Liu would bring back some silver to show her fielial piety..
