PWDLAW Chapter 109: Everything Has Its Own Fate
Chapter 109: Everything Has Its Own Fate "A few days ago, he even brought up something called 'Zhuge Suo' from the book to ask your father. Your father was surprised for quite a while. Unexpectedly, at such a young age, he can already remember the hundred-word text." The 'Zhuge Suo' explained in the ancient text comprised about a hundred characters. Chu Jin memorized it entirely just to impress his father and Chu Zhiwen. Regardless of the motive, it would undoubtedly please the two elders. This was the reason why Ye Muyu had insisted he memorize it. It was a good start. Chu Jin, praised by his elders, evidently became more dedicated to his studies. Ye Muyu also learned from Chu Jin that he was now incredibly attentive in class. Regardless of the topic, he would delve into it thoroughly, often asking for related stories from Chu Zhiwen. Chu Zhiwen found himself in a difficult situation but couldn't respond inadequately, which would be embarrassing. Moreover, throughout history, most teachers enjoyed students who asked questions. Although the teacher at the village school wasn't part of the Chu family, having settled in Xingshui Village some two or three decades ago, he had a very amiable personality. Naturally, he liked Chu Jin, who was always inquisitive. Chu Jin's intelligence prompted the teacher to question why he had memorized the 'Zhuge Suo.' After learning about Ye Muyu and her approach, the teacher developed a method to instruct Chu Jin. If he wanted to hear a story, he could. Once he memorized the previous story, he could listen to the next one. This way, not only Chu Jin but also other students in the village school benefitted greatly. Usually, the articles explained after memorization were easier to remember. Moreover, many older students who valued their studies found reading enjoyable. With such an atmosphere, the entire village school improved significantly. "Now that he's willing to learn, I can rest assured. Mother, don't praise him too much." Ye Muyu smiled lightly. "It's you, Eldest Sister-in-law. Will Ah Sheng and Ah Ming go to the county school soon?" She shifted the topic to Zhang. Talking about the kids was just a side note. "This age is suitable. I hope they can achieve something in the future after so many years of studying." Zhang said, happy about the matter but more interested in the medicinal herbs. She steered the conversation back and praised her children in the process. "Third sister-in-law, I haven't seen this wild fan fruit much but what about these two below?" "This one should be Codonopsis and this one is Pueraria root." There wasn't much Codonopsis, only about one or two catties. It hadn't been sun-dried yet and Ye Muyu wasn't sure how much it would fetch. However, there was quite a bit of Pueraria root. "Pueraria root? Why do I feel so familiar with this?" After all, Zhang was used to working in the fields. In no time, she recognized the Pueraria root. "Isn't this the root under that wild vine? I didn't expect it to grow so big." "All the ones dug up from the side look the same." Ye Muyu understood. To dig up thick Pueraria roots, it wasn't a difficult task for hardworking families in the village. However, the timing was essential. Although Pueraria roots took a few years to grow thick, diligent families in the village wouldn't tolerate wild grasses in their fields. Apart from special cases like Ye Muyu, either they would already be dug up within a month or they would be growing on small hillsides. Thus, the Pueraria roots in the field were rarely noticed. Ye Muyu thought that it was also because the original owner had forgotten about this piece of land, providing an opportunity for these medicinal herbs to grow. Otherwise, she might not have been able to take advantage of it, even if she had come across this opportunity. No wonder they said, "Everything has its own fate."
