“I reckon that only the remote mountain villages like yours in Nanchang
County don’t know about this.”
“Oh right, Kudzu root can also be turned into a dish.”
Inside the house, Madam Liu and the others were chatting happily.
Madam Zhang and Madam Wang went to the kitchen to cook.
Ye Muyu and Old Madam Ye were sitting in a room.
Chu Ziluo, Ye Mengjie, and Ye Hai were sitting on the bed in the room, eating pastries.
The pastries were given by Xie Yu, the Third Young Master of the Xie family.
Other than that, there were also various kinds of rice dumplings, all of which were festive gifts.
Chu Heng had sent the gifts during the second match, and the Xie family had returned the gift earlier.
Ye Muyu was a little surprised when she received it. After all, their relationship with Xie Yu was just an ordinary business partner. According to the etiquette of a rich family, they would not send gifts to people if it was only ordinary relationships.
Of course, it all depended on the master’s mood.
Obviously, Xie Yu was in a good mood, and the gifts he gave the Chu family were not bad.
Other than two rolls of silk that looked very expensive, there were also various pastries and soft cakes.
The tea leaves, wine, rice dumplings, etc. were all the best.
It was worth more than ten taels.
At the very least, it was a huge gift for Ye Muyu.
She only had about 50 taels of silver in her savings. She had to admit that the Xie family was really generous and generous.
“Mother, Eldest Sister-in-law, why isn’t little brother here?” Ye Muyu asked.
“This is a joyous occasion. Your younger sister-in-law is pregnant.” Old Madam Ye could not stop smiling. Ye Zhao got married late because of his poor family conditions. He was now eighteen years old and had been married for a year. He also married a girl from the Su family, who was even poorer in the same village. Before that girl married into the Ye family, she was so thin that she was only skin and bones. She had to recuperate for a year before she could barely get pregnant.
Old Madam Ye did not want anything to happen if the girl were to get pregnant in such a weak state, so she could only wait.
Now that there was good news, she did not want anything to happen to her child, so she did not let the couple come to the county. She knew that the county was very crowded today.
“Pregnant?” Ye Muyu was surprised, but she felt that it was only natural. She smiled and said, “That’s good. Lil’ Zhao will have descendants too.”
“Mother, Eldest Sister-in-law, have some tea.” Ye Muyu poured tea for them.
Madam Han hugged her teacup and did not speak. It was as if she did not hear Ye Muyu and Old Madam Ye’s conversation. She was like an invisible person.
Ye Muyu saw that she was becoming more reserved and did not like to talk, so she did not force her.
She kept talking to Old Madam Ye.
Old Woman Ye was talking about Madam Su’s pregnancy care. “Oh right, Lan ‘er, should I send the pickled cabbages at home to Fragrance Restaurant in the county when they’re ready?”
“It’s not good for me to always trouble your servants to drive a carriage over. I don’t know when they will come. Sometimes, when your people arrive, I would be in the fields.”
“But you don’t have a mule cart at home. How are you going to bring the pickled vegetables to the county?” Ye Muyu simply felt that it was too tiring for Old Woman Ye to carry it over, so she usually let Zhang Shu drive the mule cart to collect pickled vegetables regularly.
“I’ll take the ox cart from the village,” Old Woman Ye said quickly.
Ye Muyu felt that something was wrong with her mood. She took a sip of tea and asked slowly, “Mother, what do you want? Can’t you tell me?”
“Sister-in-law, this has nothing to do with you. It’s me. I feel that it’s too much trouble for you. Sister-in-law is also very capable. Moreover, I heard that there are people selling pickled cabbages in the county. They’re selling quite well.”
“Then if we don’t send our pickled cabbages earlier, we won’t be able to sell our pickled cabbages if the restaurant already bought it from others.” Madam Han stammered, her eyes full of worry. Her alarmist character was displayed in full respect..
