Peasant Woman's Decreed Life as a Wife

It would be a waste to leave the land unused. After all, there were not many medicinal herbs on the mountain. The rest were all ordinary trees. If she planted mountain pepper trees and fruit trees, she could earn a lot after selling the fruits and wood.

She had originally planned to buy some firewood mountains to put in her dowry, but unfortunately, there were too many people in the village and there were too few firewood mountains. They had long been bought.

“Alright.” Chu Heng nodded in agreement and drank another mouthful of spicy fish soup.

After dinner, the sky was completely dark.

Chu Heng brought Chu Jin to the study room to study.

Madam Hu washed the dishes and cleaned up the kitchen.

Ye Muyu wanted to take a hot bath, so Nenya quickly added fire to the stove.

It only took fifteen minutes for the water to boil.

She still let the child wash up and bathe first.

In the Chu family, they were considered one of the more diligent ones when it came to bathing. In the village, it was considered good to take a bath once a month.

It was not that the villagers did not wash themselves. Most people would use water to wipe their bodies at night. Due to the weather, bathing would waste firewood and could cause them to catch a cold if there was not enough later on.

If the cold was serious, it would kill them.

As a result, when the temperature was higher in summer, they would take baths more often.

Ye Muyu asked Zhang Cong to call Lil’ Jin, but she was told that he was still drawing patterns on the Zhuge Lock.

Speaking of the Zhuge Lock, there were many carpenters in the village who could make parts of the Zhuge Lock now.

Chu Xing was now going further away to sell more Zhuge Locks.

He then hired people to renovate the house in the village.

The villagers were happy to take on such a job. They could earn more than 20 copper coins a day and even get a meal at noon. This was considered good treatment in the village.

Chu Xing was also smart. He found would ask a carpenter to only make a part of the Zhuge Lock and everyone’s parts were separated.

He would do the crucial parts himself.

He did not care. He had sold them in the nearby counties.

The next step was to go further and earn a sum of money. If the villagers wanted to sell it later, it would not affect the money he had already earned.

Even without Chu Heng and Ye Muyu’s guidance, he had already realized that Zhuge Lock was not a commodity that could be bought and sold for a long time.

Therefore, he did as much as he could to earn as much as he could.

Ye Muyu did not disturb Chu Jin. She just waited for him to finish showering at home before letting him do it.

The weather was the hottest in July. At night, everyone at home would sweat even when they slept and opened the windows. Ye Muyu was not worried that she would catch a cold.

When she came out of the bathroom, Chu Heng was standing at the door, giving her a fright.

“Why are you here?” Ye Muyu’s voice turned hoarse. She quickly coughed a few times, and her throat instantly felt much better.

“Did you catch a cold?” Chu Heng frowned when he heard her cough.

As he spoke, he even reached out to touch her forehead.

He was only relieved when it did not feel like she had a fever.

Ye Muyu was shocked by his actions and did not respond for a long time.

Chu Heng saw her dazed look and a hint of worry flashed in his eyes. He reached out and helped her into the house very naturally.

Ye Muyu felt the heat coming from her fingertips and her heart beat faster, like fireworks exploding in her head. Her ears turned red and her body trembled.

She pursed her lips and subconsciously pulled her hand back.

“What’s wrong?” Chu Heng did not expect her to move so quickly. He was a little unhappy and wanted to grab her hand again..
