 Chapter 97: Temporary Worker Du Shi

"Come in, what would you like for lunch?" Ye Muyu entered the yard and called Chu Ziluo who brought two wooden sieves. "Mother, these past few days, both my brother and I have been eating well. We've had the meat you sent each time." Chu Ziluo obediently helped on the side. "Mother, what kind of fruits are these?" Chu Ziluo picked up a Wild Fan Flower fruit and asked. "This is a kind of... medicinal herb." Ye Muyu separated the two types of Wild Fan Flower fruits into different sieves. She didn't know how to prepare medicinal herbs and planned to have Chu Jin send them to the medicinal shop tomorrow for evaluation. Dr. Lu's medicinal shop in the village was too small and she was afraid they couldn't handle these medicinal herbs. Taking them to a larger medicinal shop in the city was more suitable. Moreover, the Lu family also had land in the village and she had seen many Wild Fan Flowers on the mountain. They might have some of their own. There was no need to buy. "Medicinal herbs? Can they be sold for money?" Chu Ziluo asked enthusiastically. Ye Muyu nodded "They should be. We'll know for sure after inquiring tomorrow." "It's getting late, I'll go prepare lunch." "Mother, I'll help you with the fire." Chu Ziluo followed behind her, ran into the kitchen, Ye Muyu refused but she didn't listen and insisted on helping. "Mother, don't worry about me. I'm good at making fires." "By the way, Mother, have you taken your medicine?" Chu Ziluo, concerned, had been worried that Ye Muyu didn't go to change her medicine. Since Ye Muyu had been gentle with her this child had developed an infinite reliance on her. "I've taken it." Ye Muyu smiled lightly. "Don't worry, mother will take it easy and recover slowly." "Oh, then, Mother if you have any heavy chores just let me handle them. Taking care of your health is the priority." Chu Ziluo nervously said. "Mother is fine and there's no heavy work to be done at home." There were still eggs and meat at home. However, Ye Muyu had bought a fish in the morning intending to make fish soup. She first fried the fish until it was golden brown, then boiled water and finally added the fish to simmer slowly. "Is the main family here?" Ye Muyu was cutting cabbage. Hearing the voice, she put down the knife and walked out of the kitchen. In the yard stood a woman dressed in navy blue coarse cloth. The woman had a pale yellow complexion, dark skin, and wrinkles on her hands and face. She had a robust figure, clearly accustomed to rough work. Ye Muyu had a graceful figure, especially after being sick, coupled with not seeing sunlight for years, her skin was fair and her hands, which hadn't done much work, were exceptionally tender. The two formed a stark contrast. A hint of envy flashed in the woman's eyes, fleeting but noticed by Ye Muyu. "Do you need something?" Ye Muyu took a moment to observe her before speaking slowly. The woman hurriedly said "Well, it's almost lunchtime, so I came to ask if the vegetables in that corner and the pot...?" "Oh, those vegetables are for you. Arrange them as you like." "As for the pot my family doesn't have extra stoves. I can only provide you with a small stove but don't worry, I have a small pot at home. Mrs. Du, come and take a look." Ye Muyu led Du Shi to the corner of the shed. In addition to vegetables, there was also a small piece of meat and an unlit stove on this side. Ye Muyu entered the shed. Originally used to raise livestock, the shed had not been used since the Ye family moved in. There was some dry straw on the ground  but it didn't have a foul odor because there was no wall in front, giving it good ventilation. There was even a faint scent of sunshine.
