Peasant Woman's Decreed Life as a Wife

Chapter 517 - 517: Delaying

Now that she saw the boots, how could she not understand?

Wang Chuan stood up and cupped his hands. “These are riding boots made of sheepskin. They are considered precious materials. It’s a small token of me and my father’s appreciation. Now that the house has been settled, it’s all thanks to Brother Heng’s help back then. These three pairs of riding boots are what you deserve. I hope sister-in-law won’t mind. ”

“Although riding boots made of sheepskin are not as good as deerskin, they are also very suitable for riding horses.”

“How can I accept that?” When Ye Muyu heard what he said, she quickly stood up and declined.

However, Wang Chuan insisted on giving it to her as a thank-you gift.

However, Ye Muyu had already accepted a discount from the shop, so it was not appropriate for her to accept a gift now.

Wang Chuan and Ye Muyu were in a deadlock.

“Sister-in-law, if you don’t accept it, I won’t even dare to tell Jiao’er when I go back. She was the one who told me to do this.” Wang Chuan smiled.

“Sister-in-law, if you really feel that you don’t deserve it, this little brother will be thick-skinned and ask for a favor.”

“I don’t know if Sister-in-law is able to attend Jiao er’s wedding day.”

“Congratulations, Brother Chuan!” Ye Muyu congratulated him. “Has the date been set?”

“Yes, it’s been decided. It’s on the fifth of September.” Wang Chuan’s eyes were filled with joy.

The dates here were based on the lunar calendar. It was only the end of June in the lunar calendar and the end of July in the solar calendar. There were still two more months, so it was not too far away. By then, Chu Qingxiang’s marriage would be over, and Lin Jiao’s marriage would be next.

Ye Muyu habitually used the solar calendar to look at the days. The difference between the solar calendar and the lunar calendar was more than a month.

She rubbed her forehead and felt that she would have to slowly get used to the lunar calendar instead of the solar calendar.

“Then I will be thick-skinned and accept it.” Ye Muyu did not reject her anymore. She thought that she would give Lin Jiao some makeup when the time came. After all, it was just a gift.

When Wang Chuan saw her accept it, he smiled sincerely. Previously, he and his father had always felt that they had not been able to repay Chu Heng’s kindness.

Now, he could finally relax.

“Auntie Hu, go prepare lunch.”

Wang Chuan was not considered late, but after talking for a while, it was close to lunchtime.

After Ye Muyu gave the order, she smiled and left Wang Zhuan. “It’s all thanks to you and Uncle Wang that these shoes are so good. Otherwise, I’m worried that my husband won’t have suitable shoes for the examination in the prefecture.”

“That’s why you can’t stand on ceremony. Stay for lunch before leaving. You won’t have to worry about the night when you go back later.”

Wang Chuan thought about it and did not refuse. “Then I’ll have to trouble you, Sister-in-law.”

“It’s not troublesome.”

Wang Chuan left after he was done entertaining him.

Days passed in a flash, and another three days passed.

Seeing that Chu Heng was still nowhere to be seen even after the promised date, Ye Muyu’s worry was about to overflow.

This morning, she stood in front of the courtyard and hesitated for a while before walking around a few times.

In the end, he ordered Zhang Shu to drive the mule cart to the county and ask Butler Luo about the situation.

Zhang Shu did not dare to delay. He brought his breakfast along with him and went to the county.

Madam Hu comforted Ye Muyu at home. “Madam, don’t worry. Master might have already arrived in the county. He just didn’t have time to come back to inform you.”

“I hope so.” Ye Muyu looked at the sky. It was cloudy as if it was going to rain.

Sure enough, a cool breeze blew over after a while. The hot air had a hint of refreshing coolness, and the rain fell.

The entire village was extremely quiet.

Ye Muyu sat in front of the main room, looking out of the courtyard from time to time through the rain..
