Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Other than the price of Kudzu roots, the Wild Fan flowers and fruits and Solomon’s Seal did not drop.
Because of this, almost every household in the village had earned a few taels. There was not such a good thing in the past.
Therefore, many people this year praised the Chu family and Madam Ye.
In an instant, Ye Muyu’s reputation rose by quite a bit. Even the villagers smiled at her more kindly when they saw her.
Ye Muyu had already noticed this, but she did not react emotionally. She did not deliberately insist on whether her reputation was good or not. Moreover, even if she did not do medicinal herbs, she had never worried about her reputation.
“Mother, the land at home has been planted with vegetables, so it doesn’t need much effort.’
“As for the medicinal herbs, I’ve already collected all the medicinal herbs in that plot of land.”
Ye Muyu knew that Madam Liu must have something else to ask her, but she did not take the initiative to ask. She only answered according to what she asked.
There were some things that were not suitable for her to take the initiative to ask, and she would not ask.
Sure enough, Madam Liu nodded her head first, as if she was at ease with Ye Muyu’s actions. She did not beat around the bush and directly told him the purpose of her visit, “Tomorrow, your father and I will go to the county to buy cattle. I will also go to see Chu Heng. Do you have anything to give to him?”
Ye Muyu’s reaction was also very fast. She had never thought of giving Chu Heng anything. After all, she had just given him a hairpin and pastries five or six days ago.
‘This man was so pretentious…’ Ye Muyu complained silently in her heart. She had never had a boyfriend before, so she treated Chu Heng as an independent individual. Since he was independent, it was natural that Chu Heng would take care of himself, and she would take care of herself independently.
Ye Muyu did not say anything as she thought of this.
Seeing her like this, Madam Liu probed, “Last time, I saw that there were cloth for Chu Heng to make clothes at home. I saw that you had been touching the needle and thread recently and thought that it was for him.”
“No, it’s to make shoes for Ziluo.”
“Plus, I had been collecting the herbs, so I didn’t have much time to make it.”
“Mother, I heard that Master Liu from the village…” Ye Muyu had not finished speaking.
Madam Liu slapped her forehead and her expression changed. She had guessed her thoughts. “Third Daugther-in-law, are you planning to find someone to help Chu Heng make clothes?”
“Yes, Mother.” Ye Muyu said, “I originally planned to buy ready-made clothes for my husband, but I can’t waste the cloth at home.”
Seeing Ye Muyu’s orderly manner, Madam Liu suddenly felt that it was difficult to explain in a few words. She unexpectedly felt that Ye Muyu was not lazy. On the contrary, she felt that Ye Muyu had never thought of making clothes for Chu Heng in the first place.
Could it be that there was really something wrong with their relationship?
Madam Liu became more and more suspicious and asked calmly, “Third
Daughter-in-law, Chu Heng is outside and you two are far away. However, you should still care for each other. After all, husband and wife are people who live their lives together.”
Ye Muyu was smart and immediately understood what Madam Liu was implying.
Madam Liu could tell that she and Chu Heng did not interact like husband and wife.
“Mother…” Ye Muyu wanted to convince Madam Liu to accept this kind of interaction, but she did not expect Madam Liu to interrupt her before she could even say anything.
She waved her hand. “I don’t care what you say. Take this opportunity to make a set of clothes for your husband at home. Take your time. I’ll only be at ease if you get along well..”
