Chapter 75: Sending Food to the Old Residence
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Chu An heard the sound of his own hiccups. His body stiffened and he felt a little awkward as he looked at the other three people who had eaten their fill.
Chu Yongliang, who was so full that he wanted to lick his bowl clean, could not help but smile and slap him on the shoulder. “Kid, are you not full?”
“It’s full, but it’s delicious.” Chu Yongliang wiped his mouth with his sleeve and grinned. “I didn’t expect Sister-In-Law Ye to cook so well. Even if I don’t get paid this time, working is worth ti.”
“Alright, get up and work when you’re full.” Chu An had always wanted to befriend Chu Heng. In addition, he would be the clan leader in the future. Therefore, as long as he could help his clansmen, he would not shirk his responsibility.
He felt that the cost of Ye Muyu’s lunch was much more than their wages. They did not plan to slack off before because they felt that if they did not work hard and sped up, they would be letting Ye Muyu down.
Ye Muyu changed the tea in the teapot in the courtyard into a new one before putting the food into the basket. Carrying it, she went out and went to the old residence.
Ye Muyu did not understand why Chu Lin and the others were working so hard to repair the courtyard wall, but she felt comfortable in her heart.
After all, they were relatives. If they were to slack off, Ye Muyu would have to offend someone to warn them.
Now, they were more diligent than she had imagined. Ye Muyu had a good impression of the Chu family members with whom the original host had never interacted before.
When they arrived at the old mansion, it was time to eat.
When Chu Qingxiang saw Ye Muyu, she was stunned for a moment and quickly called out, “Third Aunt, why are you here?”
“Qingxiang, who’s here?” Madam Zhang’s voice came from the kitchen.
Chu Qingxiang was carrying the dishes to the upper room.
“Mother, Third Aunt is here.”
Madam Zhang hurriedly came out of the kitchen and wiped her hands on her apron. She could not help but feel a little envious when she saw Ye Muyu wearing a dark green traditional dress.
Ye Muyu’s clothes were made of cotton, not hemp. Although it was not as smooth and shiny as silk, it was not bad. At least there were more colors than hemp.
“Third Sister-in-law, why are you here?” Madam Zhang smiled and walked over. She said, “Ziluo is in the house with Mother. Lilt Jin also came back from the village school with Ah Ming and the others.”
Ye Muyu knew that Madam Zhang was telling her that she would not treat the two children badly.
Ye Muyu did not want to know if she was sincere or just did not want to offend Chu Heng. She did not care.
Madam Zhang was too sensible, but she was less sincere.
“I came here to deliver two dishes. I made two fresh dishes at noon.” Ye Muyu’s thoughts were fleeting. She smiled and maintained peace with Madam Zhang.
The two of them did not have any conflicts. Ye Muyu also liked to maintain peace and did not like to go against each other. Her attitude was gentle. If
Madam Zhang was not stupid, she would receive a signal of mutual respect.
“Then Father and Mother are in luck.’
“Mother, Third Sister-in-law is here.”
“She even brought something.” Madam Zhang shouted at Madam Liu’s room and smiled at Ye Muyu, “Third Sister-in-law, I’m sorry. I’m still heating the dishes in the pot. I’ll go now.”
“Sister-in-law, go ahead. I’ve already had lunch and came over. I just wanted to
take a look at the child..”
