Tang Rou turned around and left. She already had many ideas in her mind.
Ye Muyu turned around and walked into the courtyard. Chu Ziluo was just coming out of the study room. When she saw Ye Muyu closing the door and entering, she stopped worrying and asked, “Mother, who’s looking for you? Are you alright? I heard you arguing with someone.”
“No one. Someone just came from the village to ask about the medicinal herbs.
You can continue practicing your calligraphy. Mother is preparing lunch.” Ye Muyu spoke softly and did not seem to be hurt at all. She looked calm, unlike after a quarrel.
Chu Ziluo did not suspect anything and happily shared with Ye Muyu, “Mother,
I’ve practiced today’s words. I can practice new words later.”
Chu Ziluo did not improve much, but she was willing to persevere. As time went by, she would eventually learn how to read.
“You are very good. In the future, when you have learned enough words,
Mother will teach you to look at the account book.” she learned to read, her knowledge would slowly increase.
‘Mother, I will be serious.” Chu Ziluo thought that she would not only learn how to read but also how to calculate. Since she started to learn how to read, she felt that she could help her mother more. Naturally, she was willing to learn more words and how to calculate.
Ye Muyu chased Chu Ziluo to the study room to study while she went into the kitchen to prepare lunch.
Ye Muyu had just finished cooking a dish when Chu Jin returned.
He was holding a few wooden blocks in his hands.
“Mother, I want to make the Zhuge Lock.” Chu Jin went straight to the kitchen. Perhaps it was because the food at home was good and there were pastries prepared every day, Chu Jin was not a glutton for food. He had placed all his attention on having fun.
“Sure, but you can only do it yourself. Your sister and I won’t help you,” Ye Muyu explained in advance.
Chu Jin was a little stunned. He had originally come back to ask for their help. He had even thought about what each of them should do.
He did not dare to use the wood chiseling knife, so he needed his mother to do the wood according to his instructions, and his sister to help him.
“You can’t do it?” Ye Muyu raised her eyebrows and said deliberately, “Then don’t do it. Your classmates won’t believe you can do it anyway.”
“Mother, I can do it myself. I can definitely do it.” Chu Jin was provoked. As expected, he even forgot that he would be tired from doing it. He subconsciously wanted to fight for his pride.
Chu Jin did not notice the triumphant smile in Ye Muyu’s eyes. He turned around and went to the house to get the wood-chiseling tools. He sat alone in the central room and slowly worked on it.
Ye Muyu had just finished cooking lunch.
Chu Xing had returned.
“Sister-in-law, this is the money for selling the herbs.” This time, there were more than two times more herbs than the last time, and they sold for a total of fourteen taels. Other than that, Chu Xing did not bring back any good news about milk. “Sister-in-law, there’s only one cow that’s in the milk-producing period over there, but it’ll probably run out of milk in a month. It’ll be very difficult to get milk after two months.”
“I can only try my luck later. Maybe there will be good news in other villages.”
Ye Muyu was not surprised. She had already prepared herself for the lack of milk and nodded, “Alright, I got it. Take these. The food at home is ready.”
“No need, no need. My family must be having lunch too. Sister-in-law, I’ll go back first.”
Chu Xing took the travel fee and ran away. He had no intention of having lunch at Ye Muyu’s place.
Ye Muyu was not surprised. The younger generation of the Chu family had an obvious characteristic which was they would never go to another family’s house for a meal for no reason unless the elders were there..
