“Sister-in-law, then I’ll go back first. We’ve accumulated quite a lot of Zhuge Locks this time. I’ll send them to Butler Luo in town tomorrow. In the next half a month, we’ll be focusing on harvesting the rice in the fields.”
“Alright.” Ye Muyu smiled and nodded.
Chu Xing went back happily.
Chu Lin had something on his mind. However, Ye Muyu accepted the watermelon, so his footsteps became more relaxed.
When Chu Xing saw this, he could not help but blurt out, “Brother Lin, um, you should take care of Qingxiang. Although she’s a daughter, she’s too smart.
She’ll go astray easily.”
“You didn’t go to the county town, so you don’t know how arrogant the Wang family is. Even the county magistrate’s neck was injured. Sister-in-law and Lil’ Jin were almost taken away by evil people lurking at the county office. The
Wang family is so terrifying.”
“If Young General Shen and Brother Ye Hao hadn’t brought so many soldiers here, something big would have happened in the county.”
“The Wang family is really vicious. Those guards are all bandits, and I heard that there are still bandits who haven’t been captured. They can all kill people without hesitation. ”
“I understand.” Chu Lin’s expression darkened.
“Sigh…” Chu Xing did not say anything more. He could tell that Chu Lin was not in a good mood, but it was good that Chu Lin listened to him. ‘I just hope this matter ends soon,’ Chu Xing thought to himself.
Ziluo and Lil’ Jin knew that there were watermelons, so they ran out and hugged Ye Muyu’s legs.
Ye Muyu could not take it. “Okay, let’s eat one.”
“Mother, the rest of the watermelons have to be put into the well. They can’t go bad. We have to keep them for a few more days.”
“Alright, don’t worry. There’s enough for you to eat.” Ye Muyu smiled.
Ziluo was also eating happily. She thought for a while. “Mother, let’s find some time to go to Deming Temple to see Brother Zhongjin. We can also send him watermelons. He’ll be leaving soon.”
‘Yes, yes. Mother, I’ll finish copying the Buddhist scriptures very soon. We’ll go then.” Chu Jin quickly raised his head and said.
Ye Muyu thought about it and agreed.
It was to repay Teacher Lin for protecting Lil’ Jin.
In the afternoon, Ye Muyu fried the pecans with syrup and made them into snacks. She gave the two children some every day.
In the following days, the village was busy harvesting rice.
By the time most of them were collected, it was already autumn, and the weather was getting colder.
It took Ye Muyu a month to plant all kinds of fruit trees on the firewood mountain. She put fences around the fruit trees and raised chickens and ducks inside. During the day, the chickens and ducks would eat under the trees, and at night, they would go back to the chicken coop to sleep.
She even bought five servants.
In order to solve the problem of where they lived, they could only build a few more houses at the foot of Chai Mountain.
By the time the house was fully habitable, it was already one and a half months later.
At this time, Ye Muyu had already put on her autumn clothes.
She had already signed the menu and contract for the restaurant that worked with Madam Xie. She did not need to manage it personally, which saved her a lot of trouble.
“Madam, Miss Qingxiang is getting married at the old residence today. Are you really not going?”
“I’m not going. You should go. I made a promise back then, so I can’t go back on my word. This is a gift. Help me deliver it.”
The gifts that Ye Muyu had prepared were very simple. They were all ordinary items. They were given to Chu Lin and his wife who were holding the banquet.
“Alright, Madam, then this servant will go.” Madam Hu did not delay. She took the gift and quickly went to the old house.
After Madam Hu left, Ye Muyu got up to make breakfast for the two children.
She tried to make some deep-fried dough sticks. The preserved eggs that she had marinated a few days ago could also be eaten. She could make porridge with preserved eggs and lean meat in the morning.
She then stir-fried some vegetables.
In this season, there were not many tender vegetables that could be eaten, but there were still cabbages and radishes..
