Chapter 467: Not Greedy nor Pride
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“I don’t know if it’s that amazing, but I know that the more prosperous a place is, the more intelligent people there are. Don’t underestimate anyone. Be more careful. Don’t have the intention of harming others, but you must be wary of others. Understand?”
“Mother, I understand. I heard from Uncle Xing that a merchant from the capital city bought a Zhuge Lock and made a new one when he went back.” Chu Xing had a deep impression of this matter, and the Zhuge Lock was getting harder and harder to sell.
Now, it was already considered good to be able to sell ten of them a day.
He only needed to draw one Zhuge Lock every day, which caused the speed of saving money to drop drastically.
“Mother, I know that too. I saw that Mother’s attitude toward the people in the village is different from the people in the county.”
“How is it different?” Ye Muyu praised Chu Jin before asking Ziluo gently.
She was slightly surprised by this child’s thoughtfulness.
“In the village, Mother, you speak with confidence and do things more casually.”
“But to Father’s classmates in the county, Mother will be more distant. Your words are also very clever and you never offend anyone.” Chu Ziluo scratched her head. She felt that this kind of mother was perfect. She liked her too, but she felt that something was off.
Ye Muyu was no longer worried about the child. She smiled and patted her head. ‘Ziluo, stay by my side from now on. Watch more and talk less. Do you understand?”
“Alright.” When Chu Ziluo heard that she would be able to stay by her mother’s side often, she smiled foolishly.
“Hurry up and eat. Lil’ Jin is almost done eating,” Ye Muyu picked up some food for the two of them.
She slowly drank the chicken soup.
As Lin Zhongjin had already left the school, Chu Jin did not go to school early in the afternoon. Instead, he stayed at home and finished drawing on a Zhuge Lock before doing other things.
As usual, he got up after lunch break and hammered the ink paste with Zhang
Shu and Madam Hu
Zhang Shu was a man after all, so he had more strength. The effect of his hammering was better than Ye Muyu’s and Madam Hu.
Madam Hu was originally worried that her man would not be used to this job, because he had also smashed his hands yesterday.
However, she did not expect that the number of times he hit his hand was much lesser today. He would move his hand away when the hammer was close to the ink paste . Although the hammering effect was not as good enough, Ye Muyu naturally valued people. The ink in the early stage was just a test product. Once he made the best and most distinctive Oil Smoke Ink, she could sell it in large quantities.
“Be careful. Madam said that you’ll get better the more you do it. If you keep going, you won’t hurt your hands anymore. I know that you’re an honest person and just want to live a peaceful life. This is just only a physical job. Isn’t it in line with your personality?” Madam Hu encouraged Zhang Shu in a low voice.
Zhang Shu smiled foolishly. “That’s what I thought too. I’m not good with words, but I have some strength. This job suits me very well. I’ll get used to it for a few more days and I’ll be able to slowly find the feeling.” “Madam has helped us settle down. We should repay her.” “I see that Madam and Master both value ink-making very much.”
“The better I do, the easier it will be for them.”
Madam Hu reached out and took a handkerchief to wipe his sweat. “It’s good that you understand. Our current life is all thanks to them. We can’t be greedy or arrogant.”
“Knock, knock-”
Someone knocked on the door of the courtyard as Ye Muyu was flipping the ink block.
Hearing the sound, she looked toward the door.
Chu Ziluo was in the yard learning how to make ink. When she heard the noise, she was the first to run to the door.
She opened the door and saw Chu Xing standing outside..
