Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
She never even had the insomnia from her previous life.
The next morning.
The sky had just brightened…
Smoke rose from the scattered courtyards in the village, and the early chickens began to cluck.
As usual, Madam Hu woke up early and shook Zhang Shu her to feed the mules and horses at home.
She carried the bucket and went to milk the cow.
After she was done, she carried the milk in the wooden bucket to the kitchen and took out a clean ceramic pot to cook the milk on the stove.
In the morning, they ate the steamed buns with cowpea and bacon that they had prepared yesterday.
When Ye Muyu woke up, Chu Heng was no longer by her side.
She was not surprised at all. She put on her clothes and walked out.
Sure enough, she saw Chu Heng returning from the courtyard with a wooden bucket in his hand.
‘What did you bring back?” Ye Muyu walked over and asked in surprise.
When she walked over, she saw that Chu Heng was carrying an eel, some crabs, and a fish in the wooden bucket.
“Where did you get it?” Ye Muyu reached out and touched the crab’s back. Unexpectedly, the crab, which had been quiet, suddenly struggled and almost pinched her hand.
Chu Heng was also shocked by her actions. He reprimanded her. “Ah Yu, you’re an adult now. You can’t just reach out and touch them casually in the future.
Use a wooden stick, understand?”
Ye Muyu glared at him. He was treating her like a child!
“I got it. Take them to the well quickly. We can make a delicious meal at noon.” Ye Muyu ignored his words and spoke first.
Chu Heng’s words were stuck in his mouth. Seeing her dissatisfied expression, he felt a little helpless, but he did not say anything else. It was rare for Ah Yu to have a childlike side, so there was no need for him to stop her.
“Madam, these crabs aren’t delicious, but it’s rare for them to grow so big.” Madam Hu heard the sound and came out of the kitchen. When she saw the crab in the wooden bucket, she was a little surprised, but what surprised her was why Chu Heng would bring it back.
In the countryside, no one would eat crabs unless they were extremely hungry.
There were only river crabs here. No matter how big they were, they couldn’t be that big. There was not much meat, and it would take a lot of oil to cook them.
“It’s delicious. Let’s try a new method.”
Seeing that Ye Muyu was interested and that Chu Heng obviously respected Ye Muyu in everything, Madam Hu no longer said anything to refute.
Instead, she called Zhang Shu over and separated the crab from the eel, as well as the fish.
Zhang Shu swiftly separated the three of them.
The eels were slippery in the water, so he put them in a bamboo basket.
“Are you coming back at noon?” Ye Muyu thought of their conversation last night and asked Chu Heng.
Chu Heng nodded. “I’ll be back earlier this afternoon. As for Doctor Qi, I’ll invite him to come over to see you when I’m back.”
When Madam Hu and Zhang Shu heard that they were going to invite a doctor to examine Ye Muyu, they were a little worried.
They were valued by the Chu family, so the family could live a good life. Naturally, they did not want anything to happen to their mistress.
Ye Muyu knew that the two of them had thought so much.
When she heard Chu Heng’s words, she knew that he was also worried about Qi
Sang.
“Alright, then I’ll make this crab for lunch.” She nodded.
“Yes.”
Chu Heng washed his hands and went back to the east wing to get his clothes and shower.
Ye Muyu entered the kitchen and saw that the milk was ready. She poured the milk into their cups.
“Madam, is your body alright?” Madam Hu hesitated for a long time, but still asked the question in her heart. She thought that since Ye Muyu was always easy to talk to, she had the courage to ask..
