Chapter 105: Satisfied
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Ye Muyu was not a mean person. She was always generous to her loyal and capable subordinates.
Now, she gave them some reassurance so that they would not have to look for work anymore. As expected, a look of surprise flashed across Madam Du’s face. She quickly bowed to Ye Muyu and thanked her, “Thank you, Ma’am.”
This was a pleasant surprise for Madam Du.
It was usually easiest for them to find work during the busy farming season. If they were idle, they would have to be free.
However, when she was free and had no income, and she had several mouths to feed at home, it was inevitable that she would be flustered.
Now that Ye Muyu was satisfied with their work, it would be easy for her to get another job from this family.
Temporary workers like them liked to be assigned to a fixed family. The earlier they were assigned to a family, the more stable their income would be. In the second year, they would not have to find a new family and would not be idle. It was a good thing.
Madam Du said a few words of flattery, and Ye Muyu called them back. They could come back tomorrow.
Madam Du naturally left happily.
Old Third Du was still holding the meat from lunch. Seeing that his wife had returned, he heaved a sigh of relief and quickly asked, “Is she angry?”
“No, not only was she not angry, but she even rewarded me with two copper coins. She said that we worked meticulously and that he would definitely look for us if there was any work in the future.”
“Then this meat…” Old Third Du thought that Ye Muyu would ask for the meat back after knowing that they did not eat it for lunch.
This kind of thing was not uncommon when working for customers in the countrvside.
Who knew that not only did his wife receive a reward, but it seemed that the master was also very satisfied with their work?
Madam Du lowered her voice and said, “I see that the Ma’am seems to be very particular about the details. She seems to need those roots. Although I don’t know what use they have, there’s no harm in us being more meticulous. She is also generous.”
“When we go back tonight, I’ll cook meat for you and the children.” Madam Du could not help but feel happy. She was also more certain about Ye Muyu’s personality and what kind of short-term work she needed.
“Alright, let’s go.” Old Third Du was also happy. He was usually the most meticulous in his work, but he had a shortcoming. He was stupid and did not know how to please the employer. Therefore, he could not compete with many short-term workers.
However, he felt that he had met a good person, which was why he had taken so much advantage.
The couple took advantage of the fact that it was almost dark and went back happily.
Ye Muyu picked up the long and thin roots of the root from the ground. She broke apart the large pieces of soil on it and picked it up. She placed it in a dry corner of the courtyard, waiting to take it to the county medicine shop tomorrow to ask for the price.
As usual, they had a simple dinner of boiled noodles, leftover fish soup, and fried eggs.
After dinner, Ye Muyu did not go to sleep.
First, she boiled the water to wash her feet and bath.
Chu Jin and Chu Ziluo were learning how to read in the study.
During the day, Zikuo would also write on the ground with a stick when she was free. Ye Muyu would give her pointers from time to time, and she could now recognize seven or eight words.
She could even write her own name in a crooked manner.
Ye Muyu took a shower and dried her hair before calling the two children to take a shower.
“Mother, I’m going to bathe myself today,” Chu Jin said righteously when he saw Ye Muyu enter.
“Oh, sure. Mother also hopes that you can become independent as soon as possible.” Ye Muyu could not help but smile when she saw him acting like a little adult. She did not stop him.
Children in ancient times matured much earlier than those in modern times. This could be seen from the age of marriage..
