“I’ll go in first. You two can talk slowly.” Ye Dejiang felt that it was better to leave first, so he turned around and entered the courtyard.
Old Madam Ye was not worried about him.
Ye Muyu said, “Mother, don’t let Father smoke all the time. It’s not good for his health. In the future, cook some peanuts for him every day and let him put them in his pocket. If he has a craving for cigarettes, he can eat peanuts instead. He doesn’t actually want to smoke, it’s just that he’s bored.”
“You don’t want Father to die earlier than you in the future, right?”
“Bah! What nonsense are you talking about? Luckily, your father isn’t here. Otherwise, he’d be furious.” Old Madam Ye spat a few times, feeling that she had already spat out the words she had just said. However, when she thought of what Ye Muyu had said, she felt a little uncomfortable. Although her husband was lazy, at least he made her feel comfortable and she did not have to suffer. The old women in the village did not have a single copper coin on them. Even if they just wanted to buy some oil and salt, they had to ask the man in charge for money. Things were even worse for their married daughters.
Even if she was sick, she would still have to endure it. After giving birth, let alone recuperating, it would already be good if she could eat a few eggs after giving birth.
Besides, Ye Dejiang had always gone along with her. With such a person around, she felt comfortable. “Alright, I’ll ask your father to quit smoking when I get back.”
“Daughter, you don’t have to accompany me. I’ll go and talk to the women I know. You can go and do your work.” After entering the courtyard, Old Madam Ye realized how busy her daughter was. She did not ask her to stay and turned around to talk to someone she knew.
Ye Muyu continued to bring Xiang Ling’er to entertain the guests.
“Ziluo, go and find your brother. Don’t run around. If you’re hungry, go to the kitchen and ask Madam Hu to cook for you, understand?”
“I know, Mother. Don’t worry. I will take good care of my brother. I won’t run around.” Ziluo greeted the guests for a while. She was a little tired and bored. When she heard that she could leave, she quickly nodded.
As she spoke, she turned around and went to play with Chu Jin.
Before Ye Muyu left, she told Old Madam Ye to look after the two children when she was free.
Old Madam Ye immediately agreed.
“Let’s go. We’ll continue to the door.” Ye Muyu and Xiang Ling’er had just arrived at the entrance when they saw a carriage stop.
She narrowed her eyes and saw Luo Qingxue and Chu Hongmei get out of the carriage. Not only that, but a middle-aged man also got off.
Ye Muyu narrowed her eyes. It seemed that they had not invited her family, but they were really clingy.
“Cousin-in-law.” Luo Qingxue did not wait for the servant girl to help her, and immediately went forward to Ye Muyu and bowed.
She could not wait and lowered his stance.
Ye Muyu understood immediately that the other party had a request.
“You’re too polite, please come in,” Ye Muyu said calmly.
Luo Qingxue did not seem to feel her cold attitude. She still smiled and said, “Cousin-in-law, this is my mother. You met her the day before yesterday. This is my uncle, Luo Dahai.”
Ye Muyu raised an eyebrow. Uncle?
It was not her father, Luo Kaisheng?
“Is this Ah Heng’s wife?” Luo Dahai acted like he was close to her. He went forward to greet her and handed him a gift box. “This is a fifty-year-old ginseng. It’s for Ah Heng to nourish his body.”
At least ten worth ten taels.
Ye Muyu did not take it and smiled. “I haven’t met anyone from the Luo family, and don’t know much about you. Besides, it’s just a banquet today. We don’t really accept gifts, let alone such an expensive one.”
