PWDLAW Chapter 645 Autumn Arrival
Chapter 645 Autumn Arrival
"Sister-in-law, then I'll go back first. We've accumulated quite a few Zhuge Suo at home this time. I'll send them to the town to give to Manager Luo tomorrow. After that, I'll focus on harvesting the rice in the fields for the next half month."
"Alright." Ye Muyu nodded with a faint smile.
Chu Xing happily went back.
Chu Lin had something on his mind, but after Ye Muyu accepted the watermelons, his steps also lightened up a bit.
Chu Xing couldn't help but add, "Brother Lin, uh, you should still keep an eye on Qingxiang. Although she's your daughter, very clever people are prone to going astray."
"You haven't been to the county town and don't know how arrogant the Wang family is. Even the county magistrate's neck was slashed. Sister-in-law and Xiao Jin almost got abducted by thugs at the county office. That Wang family is really terrifying."
"If it weren't for General Shen Xiao and Brother Ye Zhao bringing many soldiers over, there would have been a big problem in the county."
"The Wang family is really ruthless. The guards are all bandits and I heard that some of the remnants of the bandits haven't been caught yet. Each one of them licks blood from their wounds and kills without hesitation."
"I understand." Chu Lin's expression became even more somber.
"Ah..." Chu Xing didn't want to say more, seeing that Chu Lin's mood wasn't too good, but he could see that Chu Lin would still listen to him, which was good enough.
He just hoped that this matter would end soon, Chu Xing thought to himself.
At Chu Heng's house.
Ziluo and Xiao Jin knew there were watermelons and ran out, clinging to Ye Muyu's legs and acting cute.
Ye Muyu couldn't resist, "Alright, both of you can have a piece."
"Mom, the leftover watermelons should be put in the well, so they don't go bad. We want to keep them for a few more days."
"Sure, don't worry, there's enough for you to eat." Ye Muyu smiled.
Ziluo also happily ate and then said, "Mom, let's find some time to visit Brother Chongjin at Deming Temple and bring him some watermelons. He'll be leaving soon."
"Yes, Mom, I'll finish copying the Buddhist scriptures soon, and we can go then." Chu Jin also chimed in.
Ye Muyu thought for a moment and agreed.
Consider it repaying Master Lin's favor of protecting Xiao Jin.
In the afternoon, Ye Muyu fried the mountain walnuts with syrup and made them into snacks, giving a little to the two children every day.
In the days that followed.
The village was busy harvesting rice.
By the time most of it was harvested, it was already autumn and the weather was gradually getting cooler.
It took Ye Muyu a month to plant various fruit trees on Chai mountain and surround them with fences. Chickens and ducks were raised inside, eating under the trees during the day and sleeping in the chicken coop built nearby at night.
They bought a total of five.
To accommodate them, a few more houses had to be built at the foot of Chai mountain.
By the time the houses were ready to be lived in, it was a month and a half later.
At this time, Ye Muyu had already changed into autumn clothes.
The restaurant she cooperated with Mrs. Xie, she had already finalized the menu and signed the contract. She didn't need to manage it anymore, which was convenient.
"Madam, Miss Qingxiang is getting married at the old house today. Are you really not going?"
"I'm not going. You should go. It's not good to break your promise since you promised before. It's a matter of courtesy. You can help me deliver the gifts."
Ye Muyu's prepared gifts were simple, just some ordinary items, to be given to Chu Lin's couple hosting the banquet, not to adorn Qingxiang.
"Alright, Madam, then I'll go." Hu Shi didn't delay, took the gifts, and quickly went to the old house.
The sun was still early.
After Hu Shi left, Ye Muyu got up to make breakfast for the two children.
She tried making some fried dough sticks, and the preserved eggs she had marinated some days ago were ready to eat. In the morning, she made lean pork congee with preserved eggs.
She also stir-fried some greens.
There weren't many tender greens left to eat at this season but there were still cabbage and radishes.
