Ziluo was still young, so she could learn some martial arts first to protect herself.
“Madam, can I learn?” Nenya asked softly.
“Sure. Only then will I be at ease when you go out with Ziluo in the future,” Ye Muyu said gently.
Nenya quickly bowed and thanked Ye Muyu.
The eyes on her delicate face were filled with joy.
“Mother,” Chu Ziluo was confused. “Didn’t they say that girls should be gentle and sensible? Girls shouldn’t go out and fight, right?”
“Mother told you to learn martial arts, not to go out and fight.” The back of Ye Muyu’s hand still hurt a little. She placed it on her thigh and waited for the ointment to seep into her skin and take effect.
She gave Chu Ziluo a gentle example. “Let me give you an example. Look, if someone comes to our house and says something unpleasant, you can refute it if you don’t want to hear it.”
“But what if they’re thick-skinned and don’t want to leave, or reach out to take your jewelry?”
Chu Ziluo frowned. ‘Mother, this kind of person is so despicable. I can’t let the jewelry be taken away. It’s mine.”
“That’s right, how can we be bullied so easily? At this time, if you have the strength to fight, you can reach out and grab her wrist. Even if this person is burly, they can only scream in pain and return the jewelry to you, right? Ziluo, do you know what this is?”
Chu Ziluo swallowed her saliva and smiled at Ye Muyu. “Mother, you’re amazing. That’s how it should be.”
“Is this considered bullying the weak and fearing the strong?” she asked after a moment of silence.
“Not bad, our Ziluo is really smart.” Ye Muyu nodded with a smile, feeling gratified.
Chu Ziluo was even happier after she got the confirmation. She spun around on the spot and said excitedly, “Mother, I want to learn martial arts. I’ll learn from Uncle Lu Chuan every day!”
Lu Chuan had already gone to the county to pick up Chu Heng and was not at home. Ye Muyu thought that she would wait for him to come back and give him the order.
After all, she wanted the children to protect themselves by learning martial arts. At the very least, if they encountered any danger, they would have some ability to resist.
This was an extremely long matter, and there was no hurry.
Chu Ziluo and Nenya went to the kitchen to help pick the beans.
Madam Hu took the medicine and went to find Zhang Shu to apply it together.
Ye Muyu looked at the ointment on her hand and thought it would be more convenient if she had leather gloves.
Speaking of leather, she remembered that twenty days ago, she had asked Master Wang Chuan to make shoes. She wondered if they were ready.
Seeing that Chu Heng was leaving for the provincial city to prepare for the exam, there was not much time left.
“Mother, we’ve already picked the beans.” Chu Ziluo’s voice came from the kitchen.
Ye Muyu got up and brought the stool into the living room before entering the kitchen.
“Good girl, thank you for your hard work.”
“How about we eat meat patties with mountain pepper leaves tonight?” Ye Muyu thought that there was still some leftover minced meat from the meatballs in the morning.
She mixed the minced meat and flour evenly, put the washed mountain pepper leaves into it, and then put them into the oil pan to fry them slightly until they were brown. It was a very simple step. Since her hands were injured and needed to recuperate, she did whatever was convenient.
“Mother, I like it. Why don’t I make it?” Chu Ziluo was very attentive. She had taken into consideration that both her mother and Madam Hu’s hands were injured.
Although it was not very serious, it was best not to touch water so that they could recover quickly..
