“Second Aunt, Brother Heng drank a lot today. I’ll drink on his behalf.” Chu Xing was already a little drunk, but he still remembered his mission and quickly came over to help hold the wine.

“You’ve already drunk so much. Don’t cause trouble for Ah Heng later. Why don’t you go and rest early? Otherwise, if you get drunk, I’ll be guilty.” Chu Hongmei smiled and pushed Chu Xing away.

Chu Xing had indeed drunk too much and could not help but stagger.

Madam Qian was beside him. She quickly reached out to support him. “Chu Xing, are you okay?”

“What? Mother, I might be drunk. I’ll have to trouble you to send me home later.” Even though Chu Xing was drunk, he was very obedient. Only the blush on his face could tell that he had drunk a lot.

Madam Qian saw that her son was so well-behaved and felt a little sorry for him being treated like this by Chu Hongmei. She reached out and grabbed Chu Hongmei’s wine and drank it.” I’ll drink on behalf of Ah Heng. As his aunt, it should be suitable.”

“Fifth Aunt, you’ve worked hard. I’ll get someone to send Ah Xing back now.”

“It’s okay, it’s okay. I’ll send him back.”

“I’ve already arranged for someone. Ah Xing should eat a few mouthfuls of rice to fill his stomach so that he won’t feel uncomfortable. You haven’t eaten yet. You can go back after you’re done. There’s no hurry,” Chu Heng said as he waved at Lu Chuan.

Lu Chuan listened to his instructions and helped Chu Xing leave.

Madam Qian saw that Chu Heng had considered it properly and felt very comfortable. “Ah Heng, Fifth Aunt will not be toasting you with wine anymore. Let’s just toast with tea. You can just drink some. Today is your happy occasion. It is my fault for getting you drunk.”

When she said this, her voice was very loud. She was deliberately going against Chu Hongmei.

Chu Hongmei did not come back for seven to eight years. Now that Ah Heng had passed the high scholar examination, she came back and wanted to build a relationship with him?

She was too thick-skinned. In the past, she only felt that it was because it was inconvenient for Chu Hongmei to return. However, the news that Ah Heng had passed the high scholar examination had only spread for a short while, and this second sister who was far away in Luo Yun County had already returned.

It could be seen that it was similar to what everyone had guessed in the past. Chu Hongmei really would not get up early without benefits. She really made people feel that she had no conscience.

“Fifth Sister-in-law, do you think that I’ve gone overboard with Ah Heng’s toast?” Chu Hongmei asked with a frown.

Madam Qian smiled. “Why would I think that? I’m just being considerate of Ah Heng.”

In other words, Chu Hongmei was not considerate of Chu Heng.

Chu Hongmei sneered. “Fifth Sister-in-law has learned how to speak in a sarcastic manner now, huh? It seems that you’ve improved a lot. It’s a pity that you don’t have much knowledge. It’s against the rules not to drink when it’s a happy occasion.”

“Rules? What kind of rules are these? I only know how to do as the Romans do. If you think that we have no rules in the countryside, don’t come back. After you got married, you only came back after Chu Heng passed the elementary scholar and high school examinations. Those who don’t know would think that Luo Yun County is far away. It’s obvious that you don’t like us and don’t want to come back.” Although Madam Qian had a good temper, she was also angered by her disdainful gaze. A clay man still had a clay character. Coupled with the hatred of her son just now, Mrs. Qian directly retorted.

Chu Hongmei was furious when she heard that. “Fifth Sister-in-law, how can you say that? I’ve already married far away and rarely come back. I’m also very sad. Why are you still saying this? Do you want me to die?”

“My reputation is so good, but you’re slandering me right away. You’re too rude!”

“I think Fifth Sister-in-law is right. Second Sister, you really didn’t come back after you got married. When Ah Heng got married, you didn’t come back either,” Chu Zhiwen said coldly.

His good temper was only reserved for Madam Liu. He did not have much patience for this married second sister.

Since she despised her poor family, she should not come back.

Now that she came back to suck up to them, she actually put on airs. Did she really think that the Chu family was like the Luo family?
