If Chu Heng became an official, these people were very likely to be his colleagues. If they had a good relationship, they might be able to help in the future.
Whether it was business or officialdom, connections were very important.
Opening a bookstore was killing two birds with one stone.
Helping these students would be truly sending charcoal in the snow.
Of course, he also had the intention of helping these students study. After all, as long as they were knowledgeable, they could sell their policy theories in bookstores and get money. If they wanted to take the further examination, they would also have money. It could be said to be killing three birds with one stone.
“Mother, I also want to learn mathematics.” Chu Ziluo was listening to their conversation from the side. She was a little envious, especially when Aunt Hu spoke of her admiration for her mother. Although she was young, she had reached the age where she could understand the language. Naturally, she knew the importance of learning a skill for a woman.
“Alright, Mother will teach you.”
“However, it’s lunch break now. You should rest for a while. Mother should also rest for a while. I’ll teach you later.”
“Alrißht, Mother.” The carriage was not small.
Chu Ziluo was not very tall. She took a small cotton pillow from the hidden compartment and lay down in the carriage, trying to sleep.
Seeing that Ye Muyu wanted to rest, Madam Hu did ot say much and silently made the sachet.
As the carriage swayed, it did not take long for them to reach the stone road in the village.
When they passed by the school, the carriage stopped.
Ye Muyu lifted the curtain and saw that there was still no sound of reading in the classroom. She looked at the time and confirmed that there was no afternoon class.
Only then did she lower her voice and get down from the carriage.
Madam Hu supported her and waited for Ye Muyu to stand firm. Then, she lifted the curtain of the carriage and gestured to her daughter, who was not sure if she should come down. ‘You just have to take good care of Miss in the carriage.”
Chu Ziluo was already asleep, so Ye Muyu did not want to wake her up.
Nenya nodded to show that it understood her mother’s instructions.
“Go to the bridgehead and buy a catty of meat,” Ye Muyu whispered to Madam
Hu. “If it’s not fresh, just buy a live fish.”
“This servant understands. Madam, please wait a moment.”
Madam Hu took the money bag and quickly walked to the bridgehead. It was only a dozen steps, not far.
Her luck was pretty good when she went there. The meat was fresh from the well.
After all, it was almost afternoon. Fresh pork was only slaughtered early in the morning.
After buying a catty of fatty meat that could be boiled, Madam Hu quickly returned to the front of the school.
Ye Muyu called Lu Chuan and asked him to follow her. Zhang Shu stood guard at the door of the carriage.
“Teacher Lin.” Ye Muyu knocked on the door. When she saw Teacher Lin opening the door, she waved her hand. Madam Hu received the signal and quickly went forward to hand over the pork.
“Teacher, I’ll have to trouble you with Lil’ Jin this afternoon.”
Chu Jin did not go home for lunch, nor did he go to the old residence.
It was because he was thick-skinned and wanted to stay in the school to talk to Lin Zhongjin.
Ye Muyu saw that since Chu Jin had taken the initiative to make friends, she did not stop him. This was a good sign. Teacher Lin also knew about Chu Jin’s situation and was happy to spend time with him.
That was why Ye Muyu came home to deliver meat to Teacher Lin.
Teacher Lin saw the meat but did not take it. “Madam, you’re too polite. It’s just a meal. My Zhongjin also came to trouble you last time.”
“You don’t have to be polite, Teacher Lin.” Ye Muyu smiled. “You also gave us money and food last time.”
“This… Alright, then this old man will be thick-skinned and accept it.” Teacher Lin knew that he was the one who made the first move. He had no reason to refute Ye Muyu’s actions..
