Chapter 842: A Gift of Thanks
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Chu Heng believed that with Ye Muyu’s ability, she would take good care of these lands. Moreover, most of these estates were under her name.
“I just feel that it’s a pity that a good land is wasted . What do you think?” Ye Muyu was speechless. “Why didn’t Landlord Wang value the products of the estate?”
“Maybe. This production is not much to begin with, so they don’t take it seriously.”
“Some of them belong to Landlord Wang, some belong to the other families within the Wang family, and some belong to the wives of the inner residence. They don’t care what they plant, as long as they get paid at the right time.” Chu Heng basically said that they lived a luxurious life but did not pay attention to the source of money.
The carriage headed straight for Dazhu Village.
After walking for an hour and a half, they finally arrived.
As soon as they arrived at the village, the carriage stopped.
“What’s wrong?” Ye Muyu asked.
Han Zhuang, who was driving the carriage in front, hurriedly said,” Madam, something seems to have happened in the village ahead. Everyone is heading in the same direction. Where should we go now?”
“Let’s go to my maiden home first.” Ye Muyu pondered. If something bad happened in the village, she had to protect her family first.
As for the Lu estate, she was not in a hurry.
The carriage soon arrived at the entrance of the Ye residence.
Old Madam Ye recognized Han Zhuang. When she opened the courtyard door and saw him, she immediately looked into the carriage in surprise.” Is my daughter here?”
“Mother.” Ye Muyu got out of the carriage.
Chu Heng stood at the side, and Ziluo jumped down herself.
“Hey, Ziluo, come in. You have a little cousin now.”
Ye Muyu had sent gifts to her brother and sister-in-law before, so she brought some gifts today.
Han Zhuang carried the cloth, meat, and pastries into the Ye family’s house.
Ye Zhao quickly went forward to help and even carried some wine jars into the house.
“Sis.” Su Yan carried her three-month-old son and showed him to Ye Muyu.
Ye Muyu went over and played with the child before hanging a silver lock necklace around his neck.
Su Yan saw that it was indeed made of silver. She quickly rejected it. “Sister-in-law, you can’t do that. This is too expensive. You also sent over a bracelet last time.”
“Last time was last time, this time is this time. Keep it and think of it as a protective charm.” Ye Muyu had always been patient with children.
Su Yan saw that she could not refuse and did not want to make her angry, so she finally accepted it.
When Ye Muyu was pulled into the kitchen by Old Woman Ye, she finally had the time to touch the silver lock. When she found that it was solid, she panicked even more.
“What’s wrong?” Ye Zhaogang helped move the wine jug and other things into the courtyard.
Seeing his wife’s nervous expression, he could not help but be curious. He went forward to tease his son first before asking in confusion.
“Sister-in-law gave me the silver lock. It’s too expensive. Can we accept it?” Su Yan felt a little uneasy.
“Since it’s given by sister, then accept it.”
“Didn’t you say last time that you have soft materials to make a set of clothes for Ziluo? Also, I’ll buy a set of ceramic cutlery for my sister’s house. I see that my sister likes to make a lot of food.”
Su Yan said with some worry, “But, these are not worth much. The cloth we have is just some cotton cloth. It can’t compare to the silk from my sister’s house.”
“Silly wife, if you want to compare the value, you’re asking for trouble. Their family has a scholar, and their business is doing well. We’re definitely not as good as their family now, so we don’t have to give you the most expensive gifts. We just have to be sincere and my sister will be happy to receive it.” Ye Zhao patted her head and comforted her with a smile.
