Chapter 142: Mr. Chu's Concerns

  Following the trend, Chu Lishou responded loudly to the osmanthus and then quickly walked towards his own house.

  Chu Lishou took two steps forward, then suddenly seemed to remember something and stopped in his tracks. He turned around, bowed to Lady Xu, said "Mother, I'll go attend to my duties first," and strode into his own house without looking back.

  The osmanthus had been waiting at the door for a long time, and as soon as Chu Lishou came in, he hurriedly winked at Chu Yande. The two siblings were responsible for one side of the door each, not giving anyone outside a chance, and immediately closed the door.

  As the sound of the door being closed was heard, Mrs. Xu finally realized that she had been given a closed-door rebuke.

  This finally made Xu angry enough, she immediately threw off her sleeves and sat on the ground, wailing loudly.

  "What a 'black heart', 'can't bear to see' and so on, even more unbearable words than these came out of Xu's mouth."

  Some of the women who were watching the commotion outside the courtyard were afraid that their own children would learn bad things, and they hurriedly covered their children's ears and turned to leave the Chu family.

  Some people even like to watch the excitement and are not afraid of trouble, they didn't leave, but instead moved forward, pointing and commenting on Xu's crying and wailing, chatting and laughing.

  At this moment, Chu Zhenghai and Chu Lixin were carrying hoes back from the fields, and they saw that there were many people gathered at their own courtyard gate from a distance.

  Chu Zhenghai knew how formidable his own daughter-in-law was, and his heart suddenly rose.

  The Chu family had just divided their property and were being gossiped about by others, so Chu Zhenghai didn't want anything else to happen at home right now.

  It was actually Chu Lixian who remained calm, "Dad, it seems that my third brother and his family have returned. At noon, I heard from the people in my house that my third brother's family is going to buy a lot of things."

  When he returned at noon, Chu Lixian had already heard from Yu Shi that Chu Ligong was guarding the house and going to the town, so now his own yard was surrounded by people, but he didn't think much of it.

  When Chu Lixing said that, Chu Zhenghai's heart finally stabilized a bit, but as they walked closer and closer to home, Chu Zhenghai's heart was uncontrollably lifted to its highest point.

  It's just because Chu Lishou bought something at home and everyone is watching the excitement, which isn't a bad thing.

  But why can I vaguely hear a woman wailing?

  After being married for nearly forty years, Chu Zhenghai may not understand others, but he is very familiar with Xu.

  Isn't that woman's wailing sound exactly what Madam Xü let out?!

  Chu Zhenghai's heart skipped a beat, and his walking posture instantly turned into a sprint. Even the bundle of wild grass hanging on the hoe fell off without him noticing, and he ran home recklessly.

  Chu Lixing picked up the things that had fallen on the ground and hurriedly followed in Chu Zhenghai's footsteps.

  As expected by Chu Zhenghai, it was indeed Xu Shi who was crying and making a scene.

  Although it's still impossible to determine what Xu was crying about, by listening to the conversations of the onlookers around him, Chu Zhenghai could basically guess seven or eight parts out of ten.

  Xu saw Lao San Jia buying something and felt envious, wanting to take advantage of the situation but didn't succeed.

  At this time, Chu Zhenghai didn't care about what attitude Chu Lishou had anymore. He just wanted to hurry up and get Xu Shi out of the house.

  It's still early in the day and Xu Shi is already sitting in the courtyard, wailing and making a scene, with so many villagers outside watching, this is just too humiliating.
