“Alright, go to the study and check the two children’s homework. It’s getting late, so go to bed early.” Ye Muyu stood up and pushed Chu Heng.

Chu Heng soon left the room and entered the study.

Ye Muyu entered the two children’s room first and changed the bedsheets inside.

She placed them in the wooden basin in the courtyard and planned to wash them the next day.

After the two children were done changing, it was time for her room.

The next morning, Lu Chuan left the house very early.

When Ye Muyu got up, Madam Hu had prepared breakfast as usual.

The family sat in the central room and ate breakfast. The breakfast was simple, and it was all rice dumplings that relatives had given yesterday.

Every family had different tastes, so naturally, the taste was average.

Ye Muyu looked at him and deliberately raised her eyebrows. “Didn’t you say the ones by others are not as delicious? it looks like you like them.”

“Mother, we can’t waste food. Father will punish me.” The last sentence was a little soft, but at least he had the courage to say it in front of Chu Heng. It could be seen that after spending a lot of time with his father, the feeling of estrangement was much less.

However, there’s another saying: Save a mouthful when you’re full, and you’ll have a whole pot when you’re hungry.”

“It means that people should save food and not waste it.”

“Then what should I do now?”

Ye Muyu did not expect that her probing words would make her son speak about the dilemma between reason and filial piety. She could not help but sigh. This child had indeed been studying hard during this period of time.

In the past, it was already good enough for him to memorize the books within the books. Why would he quote the classics and use them in reality? “You’re right. The two are contradictory.” Chu Heng nodded with satisfaction.

“However, you have to ask your mother for the answer. When it comes to filial piety, the main point is your mother. As for the reason, it’s up to you.”

Chu Jin looked at Ye Muyu..
