“Returning house”

For the ‘household’ of the Cheng household, Cheng Yun’s understanding of them is not so good as that of the Yang household.

All of this may be attributed to Cheng’s mom’s schooling coverage. Earlier than getting married, Cheng’s mom all the time taught them that they need to comply with their husbands after marriage and never come again house for no purpose. It’s not that their households don’t need them, but when they hold coming again house each day, who is aware of what others will consider them.

Cheng Yun couldn’t perceive this prior to now, however he has been residing right here for a month now, and he progressively understands these items.

The individuals right here have slender imaginative and prescient. They solely care about their very own small piece of land, and even small occasions in different households can change into huge information. In addition they prefer to gossip and can’t stand seeing others doing properly. They hope that others will reside worse than themselves, they usually even unfold rumors.

Cheng Yun and his husband themselves are controversial figures, and if Cheng Yun have been to return to his natal house regularly, even when it was simply to see his household, he didn’t know what individuals would say about him.

Cheng Yun himself is just not somebody who cares about what others say, however his largest downside is that he’s very protecting of his personal individuals. He’ll shield them it doesn’t matter what. Since Cheng’s mom doesn’t need him to return to his natal house and is afraid of gossip, he’ll attempt to keep away from pointless feedback.

For this reason he has been right here for thus lengthy and has solely talked to Cheng Bao, his brother, just a few instances in the beginning. He dare not even say howdy to Cheng Chuan, his father, when he sees him within the discipline, not to mention return to his natal house.

However this time, Cheng Yun actually wished to drink some bitter plum soup. He thought it might not be an issue to return house as soon as after such a very long time, and since he might now deliver Yang Hongcai to change into rich collectively, his household must also be helped by him.

He thought of this downside all the way in which and shortly arrived on the Cheng household’s house.

Right now, Cheng Chuan and Cheng Bao had not returned from the sector but. When Cheng Yun arrived house, Cheng’s mom was momentarily stunned, however instantly frowned and requested, “Why did you instantly come again?”

Cheng Yun knew that his mom was saying this for his personal good. Within the unique proprietor’s reminiscence, Cheng’s mom’s natal house was within the neighboring village, not too shut however not too far both. She solely returned house every year in the course of the New 12 months or for an enormous occasion at house. So, in conventional Cheng’s mom’s eyes, Cheng Yun’s sudden return house was fairly irregular.

Cheng Yun helped his mom into the home. This mom, whose well being was not excellent, had not seen any daylight in years. She was pale and smelled of medicinal herbs.

“Just lately, the climate is sizzling. I wished to make some bitter plum soup. We have now all the opposite substances at house, however we have been in need of darkish plums. I assumed we must always have some at house, so I got here again to have a look.” Cheng Yun helped Cheng’s mom sit down within the corridor. The home was pitch black. Cheng Chuan was afraid that his mom would catch a chilly, so he saved the home windows closed all yr spherical. Cheng’s mom was additionally frugal and didn’t gentle candles at evening if she might keep away from it, not to mention within the morning.

Having gotten used to the brightly lit setting at house, Cheng Yun opened all of the home windows within the room. The daylight poured in from exterior, dispelling the gloominess in the home.

Cheng’s mom was not used to such a vibrant setting, however she didn’t cease him both. She mentioned, “Simply inform Bao’er to deliver it to you. You’ve solely been married for a short while, and now you’re working again house. What is going to others assume?”

“There’s no want to fret about that,” Cheng Yun mentioned shortly when he noticed his mom was going to say extra. “I couldn’t resist my cravings and needed to come again house. We haven’t executed something unsuitable, so why care about what others say?”

“It’s exactly as a result of we haven’t executed something unsuitable that we ought to be extra cautious to not give others any purpose to speak about us,” Cheng’s mom mentioned, starting to really feel unhappy once more. She reached out and touched the crimson mark underneath Cheng Yun’s ear. “It’s all my fault for being weak, in any other case…”

“It’s okay, mom. I’m tremendous now,” Cheng Yun sighed inwardly and patiently comforted her. “Hongjin can also be good. He listens to me and treats me properly. If I had married another person, I won’t be as blissful as I’m now.”

“You… ah, how will you say that?” Seeing that Cheng Yun didn’t care, Cheng’s mom didn’t need to say something disagreeable. She modified the topic. “You mentioned one thing about utilizing dried plums to make soup earlier? What sort of soup?”

“Bitter plum soup,” Cheng Yun answered. He had considered it on the way in which again. “It’s not troublesome to make, however no person has tried it earlier than. As soon as I succeed, I’ll educate Bao’er the way to make it. I’m presently working with Mr. Liu from Yueqiong Tower. I’m hoping Bao’er can present bitter plum soup for Yueqiong Tower and make some cash.”

Cheng’s mom seemed stunned when she heard this. “You’re working with Yueqiong Tower?”

Cheng’s mom often stayed at house and barely went exterior. She hadn’t heard what different individuals within the village have been saying about Cheng Yun and his spouse, so she didn’t know that they typically went to city.

Cheng Yun nodded and defined their cooperation briefly. Cheng’s mom was shocked and couldn’t imagine it. “You imply they paid you fifty taels of silver only for some recipes?”

As a contemporary particular person, Cheng Yun had seen some huge cash, and he had even participated in Ma Baba’s hundred-billion-yuan exercise. Though 100 taels of silver was an enormous sum of cash at the moment, he didn’t assume a lot of it. He was simply afraid that telling his mom the true quantity would scare her, and that she would fear about one thing pointless. So he halved the actual quantity.

Nonetheless, he didn’t count on his mom to be so shocked. Cheng Yun defined their cooperation to her, however Cheng’s mom nonetheless discovered it exhausting to imagine. “What if Mr. Liu is making an attempt to trick you? You have to watch out. How can such factor be so simply executed?”

“Take a look at you,” Cheng Yun smiled and shook his head, “Mr. Liu earns a fortune each day and plans to open a department within the capital. Fifty taels of silver is nothing to him.”

Not solely did he not care concerning the cash, however Liu Wen additionally wished to maintain him certain to his service. Nonetheless, Cheng Yun didn’t say these phrases out loud.

He continued, “I simply considered this bitter plum soup. If it seems properly and also you guys prefer it, I’ll inform Mr. Liu about it. Then, my dad and Bao’er gained’t should work so exhausting on the farm anymore. We will simply go to Yueqiong Tower and earn cash there.”

Cheng’s mom thought he was speaking nonsense and was nervous about her household’s popularity. “Is it actually a good suggestion? Mr. Liu has already paid you a lot cash, and now you need us to promote issues in his store? What is going to he assume? Will he assume we’re too grasping?”

Cheng Yun thought to himself that Mr. Liu would need extra concepts from him to earn cash. “I’ll speak to him about it later. Even when he doesn’t agree, we will all the time arrange a stall on the town.”

Cheng’s mom nonetheless felt uneasy, however she didn’t perceive these items. Her son had grown up and had his personal concepts. He had additionally made a lot cash, which made her really feel proud. No matter Cheng Yun mentioned, she would assist him.

Cheng Yun took a pound of darkish plums from his mom and mentioned he would attempt to make the bitter plum soup. When he succeeded, he would come again to share it with them.

Cheng’s mom thought it was a nasty concept and requested, “How lengthy does it take to make this bitter plum soup?”

“It’s not too lengthy,” Cheng Yun corrected her, “I could make it within the afternoon and put it within the cellar to chill. We will drink it tonight, and it will probably keep contemporary for 3 to 5 days.”

“Then I’ll have Bao’er go to your own home tomorrow to search out you,” Cheng’s mom mentioned, then couldn’t assist however remind him, “You shouldn’t all the time need to return house. You’ve been married for over a month now, however you continue to act like a toddler…”

Cheng’s mom lectured him on the way to be spouse. For some purpose, though it was such a boring subject, it made Cheng Yun really feel a uncommon heat from his household.
