Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Is Lan’er looking for me?” Old Madam Ye would only feel safe if she was by her daughter’s side.
How could Chu Heng not know what she was thinking? However, now that his wife wanted to protect her family and was not as shameless as before, he naturally supported her.
“Yes, Muyu is in front. Come with us to the county house.” Chu did not ask Old Madam Ye anything at all.
Old Madam Ye walked past Chu Heng and saw Ye Muyu waiting not far away.
She quickly nodded. “Sure, let’s go.”
As she spoke, she held her grandson Ye Hail s hand and followed Chu Heng.
Halfway there, she met Madam Han and Ye Mengjie who had just returned.
They walked together to the first branch’s house in the county.
Chu Heng went to see the county magistrate and reminded him about something. As for what the county magistrate would do, that was up to the county magistrate.
The people from the Chu family quickly returned to the courtyard.
Upon entering, they saw Chu Lin entertaining his uncle, Liu Cheng. His aunt, Madam Luo, and the young lady who came to compete, Liu Jiao, were all sitting in the central room.
Chu Lin found his uncle’s family and brought them to the courtyard.
When Madam Liu entered the room and saw Liu Cheng, she happily went forward. “Second Brother, it’s really you. Sit down quickly. We siblings can have a good talk.”
“Sis, sure. Father asked me to bring you some mountain products when we came to the county this time. They’re all mushrooms picked up from the mountains, some wild pears, and tea leaves grown in the village. They’re not anything good.” Liu Cheng was a little embarrassed. Ever since he was born, he had also lived a good life. Later on, his family became poor. He felt that it was all his fault for not being able to make a name for himself by being a scholar. Otherwise, he would not have wasted his family fortune.
However, the Liu family’s mentality was very good. They would not be depressed.
Their family’s life in the mountains was not bad.
After all, Madam Liu would occasionally provide subsidies.
It had been six years since Chu Heng had been admitted as an Elementary Scholar.
Liu Cheng’s sons had also all grown up.
However, it was precisely because of Madam Liu’s help that the Liu family felt sorry for this married daughter. As long as they came to visit, they would never come empty-handed.
Madam Liu pulled Madam Luo’s hand and sat down. “Did you and Big Brother go up the mountain again?”
“Sis, I’m used to going up the mountain. It’s not dangerous. By the way, many people in the village have found medicinal herbs in the mountains. Our family has also found some.”
Chu Zhiwen also sat down.
When he heard this, he said, “Speaking of which, your Mountain Village is also divided into households. This time, our village found some medicinal herbs. You guys go back and look for them.”
At the same time, he said to the eldest son of the first branch, “Ah Sheng, go and draw out the medicinal herbs such as the Kudzu root, and the Wild Fan flower and fruits, so your uncle can refer to them.”
“Yes, Grandpa.” Chu Sheng agreed and went to his room.
Liu Cheng hurriedly called out to Chu Zhiwen, and Chu Zhiwen nodded.
“I seem to have heard of this Wild Fan flower and fruit.” Liu Cheng had not seen the Chu family for a long time. Moreover, their Mountain Village was deep in the mountains, so it was rare for the commoners to come out.
It was also an accident that he found the medicinal herbs earlier.
When Madam Chu heard this, it seemed like her maiden family did not know about the sale of Wild Fan flowers and fruits, and other medicinal herbs.
“Second brother, aren’t the herbs you sell the Wild Fan flowers and fruits, Kudzu root, and Solomon’s Seal?” Although Madam Liu had already guessed it, she still wanted to confirm it.
Liu Cheng shook his head. “No, we’re selling some herbs to treat colds.”
“I’ve never heard of any of these three.”
“Then you’re in luck. Our village also sells some medicinal herbs. It’s these three kinds. The price is not bad..”
