PWDLAW Chapter 116: Meeting
Chapter 116: Meeting "Chu Heng's wife." Ye Muyu calmly replied. Uncle Liu suddenly smiled, "So you're the scholar's wife. Please wait a moment I'll go inform Scholar Chu." After saying this, Uncle Liu turned around and went inside to find Chu Heng. Ye Muyu was surprised for a moment but quickly composed herself. She stood silently outside with Chu Ziluo, watching. "Mother, Dad likes sweets. I bought some sticky rice cakes for him earlier. Can we give them to him later?" Chu Ziluo stood by Ye Muyu's side, her voice innocent but with a serious tone, subconsciously seeking Ye Muyu's opinion. "Sure." Ye Muyu thought back to her observations at the pastry shop earlier. Apparently, there were very few savory pastries in the entire shop. Most of them were sweet. Among them, the best-selling ones were ordinary pastries priced at less than twenty coins per jin. The more expensive ones were also popular, divided into various seasons but they still had their share of buyers. With this in mind, Ye Muyu felt that the purchasing power of the people in Nanchang County was not bad. At least, it was much better than she had imagined. "Dad?" Ye Muyu was lost in thought when Chu Ziluo suddenly spoke. She snapped back to reality, raising her head to see Chu Heng, dressed in dark clothing, walking out from inside. Ye Muyu caught a glimpse of surprise in his eyes. He spoke first, "Today, I came to the county to sell medicinal herbs. Mother is planning to buy cattle so I came to see you." Chu Heng was somewhat surprised. Usually, Chu Xing would send him a letter every ten days, explaining what had happened in the village and about the Ye family. Unexpectedly, it had only been five days since he received the last letter and now he saw the Ye family. "Is there any trouble at home?" Chu Heng asked as a matter of course. Ye Muyu shook her head, "Nothing major at home." "But there are some things I plan to tell you." Ye Muyu didn't intend to hide anything from Chu Heng about her actions. After all, he was the head of the family and in case he needed to intervene in the future, it would be more convenient. Moreover, Chu Heng might not be unable to know about the situation in the village. Why bother offending people? "Let's talk in the tea shop across the street." Chu Heng said. Taking the lead, he took the two mothers and daughters and found a seat in a moderately-sized tea shop, ordering three bowls of tea. Once they were seated: "Dad, this is the pastry I got for you. Take it." urged Chu Ziluo with encouragement from Ye Muyu, handing the sticky rice cakes to Chu Heng. Chu Heng was receiving a gift from his daughter for the first time. For a moment, he was somewhat stunned. After looking for a while, he raised his head and looked at the mother and daughter. Perhaps because it was daytime and in the county, Chu Heng keenly felt the change in Ye Muyu's temperament. After looking at the sticky rice cakes for a while, he spoke after a short pause, "Thank you." Chu Ziluo, seeing that Chu Heng wasn't as stern and serious as usual, plus her increased courage recently, gestured with her hand and said, "Dad, although I chose the pastries, Mom provided the silver." "This is your intention. It doesn't matter who paid the silver. Dad understands your intentions." Ye Muyu praised Chu Ziluo, rubbing her head. Chu Ziluo instantly smiled happily. Chu Heng raised an eyebrow somewhat surprised by Chu Ziluo's state. It seemed...this child was quite dependent on Ye Muyu. But wasn't she living in the old house? How did their relationship suddenly become so good? Chu Heng wouldn't easily compromise, so he directly asked, "Ziluo, how's life at the old house?" Chu Ziluo couldn't sense his probing and was still happy that both parents liked her. Hearing this, she happily said, "Dad, I stayed at the old house with my little brother for four or five days. We'll go back when Mom finishes repairing the wall."
