Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Lu Chuan thought to himself, ‘Isn’t Madam different from an ordinary scholar’s wife?’ Seeing Wu San’s silly smile, he reminded him with a faint smile, “You can tell that Madam is not an ordinary person just by looking at Master.”
“That’s why I want to stay by Master’s side and work. You have to use your brain more when you do things. Don’t be rash.”
Wu San nodded repeatedly. “Brother Lu, you’re right. If I don’t know anything in the future, I’ll ask you. I won’t be stupid again.”
Lu Chuan knew that Wu San used to be a hooligan. He was used to being strong and bullying the weak, so he did not know how to use his brain. Now it seemed that he could still be saved. It was not a loss for Chu Heng to save them.
Wu San did not know what Lu Chuan was thinking. He only felt that working under Chu Heng would provide him with food, clothing, and monthly money. He no longer needed to live life in fear. His days were slowly getting better. He even had the idea of getting married and settling down.
This was something he had never thought of before.
He had been an orphan since he was ten years old. He had been scolded as he grew up. Without anyone to restrain him, he would do anything to fill his stomach. Later on, he relied on his strength and became a thug for rich families everywhere.
Injuries were common.
There were even many people who cursed him to never have descendants, but he was dealing with gamblers, so he did not feel guilty at all.
It was just that he often heard people say too much about him. Coupled with his reputation, even those neighbors felt that he was not easy to get along with and that he was a famous bully.
However, it was different now. He had a formal job and earned more money than most people. He no longer had to risk his life to earn money. His life was comfortable, and it was inevitable that he wanted to have a family.
When he thought of Chu Heng as the employer, he felt even more at ease. It seemed that as long as he followed Chu Heng, he would not have to worry about going hungry one day.
There were many who had the same thoughts as Wu San.
Therefore, if Lu Chuan was willing to teach him anything, he would be very willing.
As the group walked towards the mountain, they met many commoners on the way.
Lu Chuan thought about the fact that there were quite a number of mountain pepper trees that had been transported over this time. He could only plant 50 at most on their own mountain. He had originally wanted to directly tell the villagers that he could sell them.
However, he remembered that Madam had said before that they would first prepare for the clansmen and then distribute the rest to the other villagers to prevent a situation where they did not have enough for their own people.
He did not even warn the others to not speak nonsense.
The convoy had just left.
Ye Muyu told Madam Hu and Zhang Shu to go home first and not rush to prepare the dried vegetables.
She did not go back directly. Instead, she walked to the house that Chu Xing was repairing.
She went straight to Chu Xueqin and said, “Brother Xueqin, I have something to inform you in advance. My family bought some mountain pepper trees. I plan to plant some on the mountain. If you want, you can go to the mountain to buy them. The mountain pepper trees are still relatively lively now. If you delay for a day or two, it might be difficult to plant them. If you want to plant them, go early.”
“Are we really going to plant mountain pepper trees?” Chu Dongyu scratched his head curiously. He wanted to say something, but he was too embarrassed to ask Ye Muyu.
Chu Xueqin was more composed. He thanked her first and then asked, “Sister-in-law, how much is a mountain pepper tree?”
“A hundred copper coins,” Ye Muyu replied.
Chu Xueqin thought that the price was cheaper than the ones he usually bought from other vendors. He thought that Ye Muyu was deliberately helping her relatives and was instantly touched.
He had also made a decision in his heart.
“Thank you, Sister-in-law. I want to buy some.” Chu Xueqin smiled faintly..
