Zhou Fangchun frowned, not expecting Chu Yu to treat Mao Xia like that.
Even when beating a dog, one should consider its owner. Mao Xia is their child, and disrespecting Mao Xia is tantamount to disregarding them. Zhou Fangchun, who prides herself on being an official's wife, couldn't stand this insult and was about to cause trouble for Chu Yu when Mao Guangyu stopped her.
Mao Guangyu never took Chu Yu seriously.
Throwing the schoolbag was just a childish squabble between girls. As long as Chu Yu could help him advance, Mao Guangyu wouldn't care if he threw the schoolbag or even threw Mao Xiaren down, as long as no one was seriously injured.
"Who told you to be so rude to people? You took the old clothes from the house that were used to make a doghouse and gave them away. Country folk have strong pride, and Chu Yu is at the age where she holds grudges, so of course she'll hold a grudge against you." Mao Guangyu washed his hands, rolled up his sleeves, and sat down at the dining table.
Zhou Fangchun was displeased: "Giving a few old clothes to a country bumpkin who can't even afford to eat is already showing her respect. She holds a grudge against me for such a small thing. She really doesn't appreciate my kindness!"
"You gave her old clothes that smelled of urine, but then you bought Dai Qinxue high-end goods from a department store, without even trying to hide it from Chu Yu. No one would be happy about that."
"What can we do? She got first place in her grade in the entrance exam, so she'll definitely go to university. If she does go to a university in another city, where are we going to find someone to marry Qiu Jiadong?"
Zhou Fangchun couldn't understand why Chu Yu needed to study. They were so poor, why didn't she help support her family financially, and why was she spending money on education? Did she really think anyone could succeed through education? What good was Chu Yu's ambition when her fate was so fragile? What gave her the right to bully Mao Xia?
Mao Guangyu then told her to go and see Shu Hui. "What is your sister-in-law busy with now? The harvest season has just ended, so she should be farming in the countryside, right? Living under her brother's roof, she must be having a hard time. You should try to comfort her. It's an arranged marriage, and if Shu Hui agrees, would Chu Yu dare to say no?"
Zhou Fangchun hadn't contacted Shu Hui for a long time and really didn't know what Shu Hui was doing. It wouldn't be appropriate for her to go to Shanguan Village given her status.
To her surprise, she got off work early the next day and passed by Deyang Middle School. She wanted to wait for Mao Xia to go home together, but instead she met Shu Hui, who was pushing a handcart.
