Although Chu Ziluo did not really want to go, she knew that she had to do it.
She first washed the brush, put away the paper he had written on, folded it, and placed it in the wooden box.
“Mother, I will take good care of little brother.” Chu Ziluo looked up and said sensibly.
Ye Muyu rubbed her head. “Alright, if you need anything from me, come back and tell me.”
“Alright.”
Chu Jin had also packed up his bookcase.
Inside were the books, brush, ink, paper, and inkstone that he usually read.
They were neatly packed, and he was still silently reciting Zhuge Suo’s content.
Ye Muyu sent the two children out.
Chu Lin took a look and thought for a while, but he did not say anything.
On the other hand, Chu An thought of the news from the clan and started discussing with the others. “The news that Ah Heng said will probably cause a storm in the county this time. Brother Maogen, what are Fourth Uncle’s thoughts?”
“Father said that since it’s good for a girl’s reputation, and we should let the girls of the right age in the family think about picking something that they’re good at and learning well. Even if they can’t be among the best, there are still some outstanding areas that are good for their reputation.”
Chu An was relieved when he heard that.
He was the eldest son of Clan Leader Chu Yonghua. Among his peers, he was also the oldest. In the future, he would undoubtedly inherit the position of clan leader.
Chu Yongliang and Chu Maogen were both young, and they did not have daughters of the right age. He just wanted to understand the situation of the fourth family.
As for the third family, it was needless to say that Chu Heng had brought the news back. Even Chu Ziluo had gone to the old mansion, so she must have studied the Four Arts well.
Ye Muyu then went into the kitchen to cook the meat and prepare the dishes.
She heard a noise outside the courtyard. She quickly walked out and saw many children outside the courtyard.
“Auntie, my mother asked me to help you weed the field. We’re all willing to come. ”
She saw children no older than eight years old with small baskets by their waists. They were dressed in coarse clothes. Although they were dressed in ordinary clothes, they were clean and did not have runny noses. It seemed that the entire Xingshui Village was well-educated.
“Sure, I’ll take you there.” Ye Muyu smiled gently. Seeing that they were all holding sickles in their hands, she walked straight to the field beside the house without providing any tools.
“Start harvesting from this piece of land. Just don’t step on the vegetables in this land.” waved her hand and the group of children started.
The group of children were still a little confused, as if they did not expect her to be so easy to talk to.
When they came back to their senses, they hurriedly ran into the field and started mowing.
“You can do it separately, as long as you don’t step on the vegetables in the field.” Ye Muyu was not completely relieved. She was afraid that they would fight, so she stood at the side and watched for a while. She also collected some vegetables in the field for lunch.
She had to prepare meals for four men. Ye Muyu planned to make the portions bigger. At least these clansmen were sincerely helping her, so she naturally could not treat them badly.
Unexpectedly, after Ye Muyu finished picking the vegetables, the children in the field were especially serious. There was no fight at all.
Ye Muyu touched the tip of her nose and said gently, “Children, if you are thirsty, go into the courtyard. There is water there.”
“Thank you, Auntie.”
All the children raised their heads and thanked her, smiling especially brightly.
Ye Muyu was satisfied that they were sensible. She nodded and turned around to enter the house.
Seeing Ye Muyu enter, Chu Lin asked, “Third Sister-in-law, are you planning to clean up the land?”
