Peasant Woman's Decreed Life as a Wife

Chapter 610: Going to the County Office

The person who came was the village chief.

Li Youde did not come in. He just stood at the door and said, “The county is going to open a court today to interrogate the witnesses of Tang Bao’s case. Lil’

Jin and Zhang Cong need to go to the county office.”

Teacher Lin was already brought to the county office that day.

It was also because the two children were young that the county magistrate gave them time to ease up.

Zhang Shu quickly nodded and said that he understood. He had long heard about this matter on the day the Tang family returned to the village.

He was about to turn around and report the situation to his wife when Li Youde reached out to stop him. “Don’t be anxious. Tell Ah Heng’s wife that some villagers will be going too. They’ll gather at the village entrance. We’ll set off together in fifteen minutes.”

“Alright, alright, alright.” When Zhang Shu heard that, he felt much more relieved.

With more people, Ye Muyu would be safe.

Zhang Shu thanked the village chief first, then closed the courtyard door and went to report the news to Ye Muyu, who was washing up.

Ye Muyu was a little surprised, but she accepted it quickly. “Go and wake Lil’ Jin and Zhang Cong up. Liu Hai will send us there later. You guys stay at home.”

“Mother, I want to go too.” Chu Ziluo quickly walked out of the room. She had not washed her face, had just put on her clothes, and had only combed her hair halfway.

Ye Muyu spat out the water in her mouth. She waved her hand to signal Zhang Shu to get down to work. Then, she looked at her and asked gently, “What are you going to do? If it isn’t because your brother must go, Mother won’t let him go.”

“I’m worried that little brother will be afraid. He’s going to court. Isn’t Mother afraid?”

“Mother isn’t afraid. Mother still wants to protect you and your brother?” Ye Muyu reached out and patted her head, smiling gently. “Ziluo is so obedient. I usually don’t have to worry about you. However, I don’t know what happened in the county office this time. I’m worried that I can’t take care of Lil’ Jin. If Ziluo goes too, I won’t be able to take care of her either.”

“When your father finds out that I didn’t take good care of the two of you, he will definitely be angry. I will also be sad that I didn’t take good care of the two of you.”

Chu Ziluo suddenly covered her mouth and giggled. “Mother, don’t be afraid.

Father will be angry at us for not listening to him. He won’t scold you.”

Ye Muyu felt embarrassed for a moment. Was she being teased by her daughter?

“Cough, cough, cough… Ziluo, what nonsense are you talking about?”

“Mother, I was wrong. Father only has eyes for you, but my brother and I are very happy.” Chu Ziluo laughed heartily and hugged Ye Muyu’s leg coquettishly.

Ye Muyu did not want to continue this topic. After all, Ziluo was still young. She said decisively,” Father likes you too. He just wants you to learn well, so he’s a little serious.”

“Mother, I know.” Chu Ziluo stuck her tongue out at her and said, “My brother and I like Father and Mother very much.”

Looking at the little girl’s sparkling eyes, Ye Muyu’s face was full of smiles. He rubbed her cheeks and said, “Ziluo, since you want to go, let’s go together.”

“But later, you have to keep an eye on Uncle Liu Hai and Uncle Han Zhuang. The two of them are good at fighting. If anything happens, run to them. It’s more useful than running to Mother, understand?”

“Mother, I want to be by your side…Mother is also very powerful.” Chu Ziluo looked at her with adoration.

Ye Muyu’s eyes were filled with love. She reached out and gently pinched her cheek. “I also hope to stay by your side.. However, if I’m not around, your main job is to protect yourself and wait for me, understand?”
