Chapter 268： romantic

Chu Chu boiled the tea and poured a bowl for everyone.

Tea is made from the heart of bamboo leaves. Yingbao said it can calm down the fire and calm the mind.

Grandma Chu picked it up and took a sip and said: "Chu Chu, aren't you about to give birth? Your mother is pregnant again and it is inconvenient to take care of you, so your great-grandfather discussed with your father and let Chu Man take care of you for a while. ”

Chu Chu's face suddenly turned cold: "Thank you so much, grandma and grandpa, my husband will take care of me, so I won't bother cousin Chuman."

As soon as the words fell, several people's expressions turned ugly.

Especially Chu Man, her face turned red and she was about to have an attack.

Sun Erniang quickly patted her daughter's hand and said with a smile: "Chu Chu, you have never given birth to a child. You don't know how dangerous it is for women to give birth. No one is watching. If something goes wrong, it will kill two people."

Ying Bao on the side couldn't stand listening anymore and asked: "Excuse me, this aunt, is your Chuman the midwife?"

Chu Man couldn't bear it any longer, stood up suddenly, and said angrily: "You are the midwife!"

Ying Bao said calmly: "Yes, I am the midwife. With me here, Sister Chu Chu, mother and child will be safe."

No mother-in-law would say something like killing two people when their daughter is about to give birth. It is simply too unlucky.

Mrs. Chu also sensed something was wrong. She glared at Sun Erniang fiercely, turned around and said to Chu Chu with a smile: "Your second uncle is very quick-tongued and can't speak, but she is sharp-tongued and has a soft heart. She is doing it for your own good."

"Thank you, grandma, I have Ying Bao to take care of me, and my godmother is here, so you don't have to worry."

Chu Chu said again: "I'm really sorry, I want to go to my mother's house and I won't keep you here."

With that said, he went to get a lock and stood at the door looking at the people in the room, intending to lock the door and leave.

Chu Chu was driving away the guests so openly that they could no longer sit still and had to stand up and walk out of the house.

Chu Chu locked the door directly, saluted Mrs. Chu, took Ying Bao and turned around to leave.

Sun Erniang and Chu Man were so angry that they stamped their feet and said, "Look at her attitude! What a white-eyed wolf! She disowned her as soon as she got married, and even we don't take her seriously."

Mrs. Chu's face was not good either. She thought for a while and said to Xiao Sun, "You are Chu Chu's stepmother. Your daughter is about to give birth. She will definitely stay to help. Man'er will come with you."

Although Xiao Sun was not very happy, she did not dare to disobey her aunt, so she had no choice but to nod.

Just like that, Grandma Chu and Erniang Sun left, leaving Xiao Sun and Chu Man sitting at the door of Chu Chu’s house.

When Zhang Meng came back, he saw that the door of the house was locked, and Chu Chu's stepmother and an unknown girl were sitting at the door.

“Auntie, why are you here?” Zhang Meng stepped forward to greet her.

Xiao Sun quickly stood up and said hesitantly: "I...I'll take care of Chu Chu during her confinement period."

Zhang Meng glanced at the lock on the door and said, "It's still early for Chu Chu to give birth. Don't bother. You'd better go back."

Xiao Sun just lowered her head and said nothing, seeming to be settled here.

Chu Man was wandering around as if no one else was around. He picked up the golden ears drying by the door and looked at them, feeling bored.

Zhang Meng finally understood why his door was locked when he saw the two of them acting like this.

He said again patiently, "Chu Chu doesn't need you to take care of me. I think it's getting late, so you should go back quickly."

Seeing that the two of them were indifferent, Zhang Meng frowned and said, "If Chuchu doesn't come back tonight because of something else, it's not convenient for me as a man to entertain you."

Speaking, he began to collect the golden ears in the bamboo plaque.

Put all the golden ears into a bucket, move them to the kitchen, lock the door of the kitchen, and leave directly.

Chu Man and Xiao Sun were panicked when they saw this. They stood at the door for a while and had to go back in despair.

When passing the entrance of the school, Chu Man suddenly stopped and looked straight into the courtyard.

Xiao Sun followed her gaze and looked inside, and saw a scholar in green robes in his twenties talking to two children.

"Is he the scholar?" Chu Man asked shyly.

Xiao Sun quickly said: "The second aunt is not talking about him. This man comes from other places and does not marry in the local area."

Chu Man frowned, "Who are you talking about? Is there a second scholar here?" "That...his name is Chen Changping, and he lives not far from here."

Xiao Sun and Father Chu Chu have been to Dongchen Village twice, so they know some things.

Chu Man said unhappily: "Who is Chen Changping?"

Little Sun murmured a few times, not knowing what to say.

At this moment, a tall man walked over from a distance and walked towards the school.

Xiao Sun's eyes lit up, she quietly pulled Chuman, and said, "That's him."

Chu Man also saw it, and his eyes instantly became straight.

I saw that this man was also wearing a brand-new green robe and a black gauze bun on his head. His face was like a crown jade, and his facial features were extremely handsome. Compared with the young scholars in the courtyard, he looked much more mature, and his movements were graceful and graceful.

Chu Man's face turned even redder, and reverie suddenly arose in her heart.

“It’s really him?” She couldn’t believe it.

Xiao Sun nodded: "Yes, it's him."

Who doesn’t know this new talented man? He is famous throughout the town as a handsome man.

It's just a young girl with no brains like Chu Man who doesn't know.

Chu Man suddenly became shy, "Then, how can we start a conversation with him?"

You can’t just go up and introduce yourself rashly.

This time Mrs. Chu and Erniang Sun deliberately sent Chu Man to Chu Chu in order to give Chu Man a chance to have more contact with Chen Changping.

With more contact between a man and a woman, feelings will naturally arise. When the time comes, the marriage will not have to be approved by the Chen family.

Unexpectedly, Chu Chu refused to accept Chu Man, which put people in trouble.

Little Sun sighed and said to Chu Man, "Let's go back first and come back after Chu Chu gives birth to the child."

No matter how much you want the two to have more contact, you have to find a good place to stay first. Chu Chu refused to take Chu Man in, so he had to go back and find another way.

Chu Man reluctantly followed Xiao Sun back, looking back at the school courtyard from time to time.

The two scholars greeted each other and sat down on the stone bench in the yard, seeming to be talking about something.

Xiao Sun and Chu Man got on a donkey cart and slowly went downhill.

Ying Bao stood on the wall of her courtyard and witnessed all this. Thinking about Chen Zhao's words, she already guessed what was going on.

This Chu family is so shameless that they can even do such a thing.

They are not here to take care of Chu Chu at all, but to catch a rich husband.

After coming down from the high wall, Chu Chu quickly asked: "Yingbao, have they left?"

“Gone.” I will probably come again.

It's better not to tell Chu Chu the next thing, lest she worry too much.

Chu Chu breathed a sigh of relief and sighed: "I'm really afraid of Mrs. Chu and the others."

The Mrs. Chu’s surname is also Sun. She is an aunt and nephew to Chu Man’s mother Sun, and is of the same clan as her stepmother Xiao Sun. Like the Chu clan leader, she can do anything for the benefit of the family, even without caring about face.

At the beginning, they coerced Chu Chu and her father to make an innocent girl become the stepping stone of the family, completely regardless of what Chu Chu would do in the future.

Two or three years later, they actually used her as a stepping stone again to pave the way for Chu Man.

She Chuman wants to catch a man, but she has to prepare a place for her.

This matter is, at best, the beauty of adulthood, and at worst, pimping.

Chu Chu is also a mother herself, how can she gain such a reputation for an outsider?

So no matter who comes this time, she will not compromise.
