After breakfast…

Ye Muyu pushed Chu Heng to look at the fruit forest, with Zhang Shu leading the way.

Ye Muyu did not go. She wanted to stay at home and prepare dried sweet potatoes and sweet potato flour with Madam Hu and the others.

Han Zhuang brought Lu Chuan to the field to dig for sweet potatoes.

Everyone in the village was also very busy. They were busy digging sweet potatoes and ordering wheat. To be precise, they were very busy this month.

Ye Muyu thought that she could harvest the ginger by this time next year after it sprouted during the new year.

Chu Heng went out and headed toward the fruit forest.

Halfway there, he bumped into Madam Liu, Chu Yonghua, Chu An, and Chu Zhiwen.

“Father, Mother, Uncle, Big Cousin.”

Chu Heng looked at the few people walking over and stopped in his tracks.

Zhang Shu also stopped and subconsciously looked at him.

“You go first, I’ll come back later,” said Chu Heng.

“Yes, Master.” Zhang Shu turned around and left.

Madam Liu and the others had also arrived. When she saw her third son, Madam Liu’s eyes were filled with joy. “Chu Heng, did anything happen along the way?”

It was no wonder that Madam Liu was worried. Chu Heng had met with accidents twice when he went to the prefecture to participate in the provincial examination. He had wasted six years. If it was not for the fact that he was young when he became an elementary scholar, he would have given up because of his old age.

“Mother, it’s nothing,” Chu Heng said calmly.

Madam Liu looked at him a few times and found that there was nothing wrong with him. Her expression was normal and did not look like she was injured. Only then did she relax.

“I was busy at home yesterday and didn’t have the time to see you. Today, your uncle and eldest cousin came over to see you.”

The reason why no one came yesterday was because Chu Heng was resting. Now, the Chu family basically knew that Chu Heng had passed the high scholar examination.

Chu Yonghua’s face was filled with excitement.

Even Chu An looked at Chu Heng with envy in his eyes. He had studied when he was young, but he did not pass the elementary scholar examination, so he stopped studying.

Now that he saw the imposing Chu Heng, he felt a sense of satisfaction and envy in his heart.

He did not pass, but at least his brothers in the clan did.

In the future, he hoped that his child could study hard. If he could also get pass the high scholar examination, he would be able to fulfill his long-cherished wish.

“Ah Heng, are you free now? Let’s go home and have a good talk.” Chu Yonghua asked in a negotiating tone with a loving smile on his face. He no longer had any dissatisfaction with Chu Heng. How could such a capable junior be easily nurtured?

Besides, he had watched Chu Heng grow up.

He knew that Chu Heng was filial, reasonable, fair, and had a bottom line. As long as he did not do anything too overboard, Chu Yonghua would not control him, let alone do anything that would cause him to fall out with her.

Speaking of which, what he felt the most guilty about was that his wife had worked together with the Cao family and actually wanted Ah Heng to marry the Cao family’s daughter.

If Ah Heng had already divorced, he would not say anything no matter how hard they tried.

However, it was deliberately schemed against Chu Heng without Madam Ye’s knowledge.

No wonder Chu Heng was angry.

Especially since Chu Heng had already mentioned to him halfway that they would not divorrce.

Who knew that his wife was actually instigated by the Cao family to scheme against Ah Heng’s wife?

Because of this matter, Chu Yonghua always felt very guilty in front of Chu Heng.

“Uncle, then let’s go to my maternal family. I’m going to the fruit forest later,” Chu Heng replied.

Chu Yonghua quickly nodded. “Okay, okay, okay. It’s not far away anyway. I won’t delay your work. I’ll just talk for a while. Oh right, what are your plans for the fruit forest that Madam Ye is setting up?”

The group of people chatted as they returned to the old residence.
