Chapter 451: Injured Hand
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Ye Muyu did not insist anymore and washed her hands carefully. Chu Ziluo ran over to apply medicine on the back of her swollen hand.
Madam Hu was also washing her hands at the side. She could not help but remind her, “Madam, don’t do this kind of work in the future. This is done by men. Your body is not good to begin with. Now, you even hit your hand. Look, it’s all red and swollen.”
“Also, Madam, you still need to keep fingernails in the future, but if ink enters your fingernails, it’ll be extremely difficult to clean.” Madam Hu rambled on and on, but her attitude was always very respectful. She did not dare to persuade her, only telling her some bad consequences.
In fact, Ye Muyu had already expected that she would hit her hand. After all, the work of hammering ink required a skilled craftsman to avoid such a situation.
“Actually, it’s fine. The doctor also told me to move more often. It’s good for my body.” Ye Muyu smiled.
Chu Ziluo listened to Madam Hu’s words and her face was filled with anxiety. She applied the medicine to Ye Muyu’s wound carefully. “Mother, does your hand hurt?”
“It doesn’t hurt.” Ye Muyu gently shook her head, telling her not to worry.
It was obvious that she had failed to comfort Ziluo. Chu Ziluo’s eyes were red.
“It’s swollen. It must be painful.”
“I’ll learn it in the future. I’ll help Mother do this job,” Chu Ziluo said seriously.
“Madam, this servant will help the Young Miss, ” said Nenya from the side.
When Madam Hu heard this, she had just washed her hands. In order to prevent the ink from getting on the two children’s clothes, she stopped Nenya.
She turned around and quickly emptied the dirty water in the basin.
“Child, don’t cause trouble here.”
“This job should be handed over to your father and your brother. If a girl does such heavy work, she will be too muscular and will be despised.” Madam Hu whispered to Nenya.
Nenya hurriedly nodded but did not dare to say anything else. After all, she would listen to whatever Ziluo said.
Ye Muyu heard what Madam Hu said and replied, “Madam Hu, a girl doesn’t have to be weak. On the contrary, she has to be healthy. Otherwise, if she is bullied in her husband’s house, even her servants could not be controlled by her. ”
“If we are tough as parents, and the child is tough as well, who would dare to bully him?”
Ye Muyu did not quite agree with Madam Hu’s words about women being weak. Since they all relied on their family to speak, why did they have to be dignified and virtuous?
It was not wrong to be dignified and virtuous. What was wrong was to still be dignified and virtuous after being bullied by her husband’s family.
“Madam is right, this servant was wrong.” Madam hu let out a sigh of relief and was relieved. In the future, Nenya would have to follow the Ziluo. If Ziluo had the protection of a powerful Ye Muyu, Nenya would not suffer too.
As for what she said before, it was just that she followed the requirements of this era for women, but she might not agree in her heart.
Ye Muyu chuckled. Thinking back to how Madam Hu had dealt with Madam Xu in the county, she could tell that Madam Hu was not weak.
Since that was the case, her words just now were unnecessary.
“Alright, Ziluo. Mother’s hand is fine now. Didn’t you feel that your strength was too weak and you couldn’t lift the bucket?”
“From today onwards, you will learn some martial arts from Lu Chuan.”
Ye Muyu had always had this thought, but because she had never encountered anyone who dared to bully her own family, she had put it to the back of her mind and never thought of being anxious.
However, after Lu Chuan’s report about the fight between Madam Xu and
Madam Hu today, Ye Muyu realized that it was inevitable that she would meet
unreasonable people in the future. She would not lose out if she had a hard fist..
