Peasant Woman's Decreed Life as a Wife

Ye Muyu looked at him with a half-smile when she saw his smug expression. Chu Jin quickly hid the smug smile on his face.

Meanwhile, Chu Ziluo was snickering.

“Has Ah Jin finished his homework for today?” Ye Muyu checked as usual.

“Mother, I’m done. You’ll know when you go to the study room later. I still have to hand in my homework tomorrow, so I definitely won’t hide it from you. However, the teacher asked us to recite a text, so you have to listen to me recite it later.” Chu Jin was already used to the school’s homework and the days when his mother would check on him when he came back, so he did not delay at all. He really wanted to make the Zhuge Lock, and he had already done a part of it. He would be able to finish it in less than ten days.

Chu Jin was a little excited just thinking about it.

“Mother, I’ll go wash the dishes. You go check on little brother’s homework.” Chu Ziluo stood up eagerly.

Without waiting for Ye Muyu’s reply, she took the bowl and ran into the kitchen.

Ye Muyu saw that her daughter cared about her, so she did not refuse. Some housework would not bring harm to the child.

“Lil’ Jin, come in.” Ye Muyu stood up.

Chu Jin quickly stood up and followed her to the study.

The next day, before dawn.

Ye Muyu got up and drank the medicine that she needed to drink. Seeing that the medicine in the medicine jar needed to be changed, she thought that she could go buy medicine today.

She only glanced at it casually.

After boiling the porridge, Ye Muyu started to make the cake.

By the time the cake was done, it was already dawn. Ye Muyu cut the cake and wrapped it in oil paper.

There was no need for any decorations at all. It was almost impossible for others to copy her and make a cake.

Chu Xing and Madam Liu had indeed arrived very early.

Chu Zhiwen sat on the mule cart and smoked a pipe. He did not come in.

“Ah Xing, these are all for sale today. I only prepared 10 pieces. Take them and try selling them for 20 copper coins each. If you can’t sell them, don’t sell them at a lower price.” Ye Muyu did not make much this time. She even added cream to make it taste better.

Ye Muyu reminded him, “You’re familiar with the county. This cake isn’t big. You can sell it to those rich people.”

“Sister-in-law, I understand.” Chu Xing already knew that Ye Muyu was planning to sell the cake.

However, he did not know why Ye Muyu only sold so little at a time.

There were only ten pieces. One piece was equivalent to a pound of meat. Ordinary people probably would not buy it, but when Ye Muyu mentioned the rich and noble, he instantly understood.

It seemed that he was going to sell this cake to those rich families.

“It’s just a pastry. Let’s call it a milk cake.” Ye Muyu had decided on a name.

Chu Xing nodded, indicating that he understood.

After speaking to Chu Xing, Ye Muyu passed the cake that he had prepared for Chu Heng to Madam Liu. “Mother, this thing is not easy to preserve. Remember to tell my husband when you go.”

“Other than these pastries, I also prepared a small jar of pickled vegetables. If my husband eats noodles in the school, he can put them in.” Ye Muyu also gave the jar to Madam Liu.

Seeing Ye Muyu like this, Madam Liu nodded with a smile. It seemed that her third daughter-in-law still had her husband in her heart. With her reminder, she should care about her husband and cultivate their relationship.

Ye Muyu saw the smile on her face and understood what she meant. She thought to herself, ‘As expected, I can’t stop caring about Chu Heng. Otherwise, it will cause gossip.’

She sent the three away, and she and the children began to eat breakfast. Breakfast was Ye Muyu’s meat buns, which tasted juicy and rich..
