Peasant Woman's Decreed Life as a Wife

Chapter 687: Like an Apple

Soon, they entered the village.

Chu Xingjun still had to go to her other brothers’ houses for a stroll. After all, it was rare for her to come back once a year.

This time, if it was not for the fact that the farming season had just ended and Chu Heng’s happy event was too big, they would not have come personally.

Ye Muyu did not go.

Madam Liu and Madam Qian went to accompany her.

Ye Muyu thought for a moment and said, “Mom, shall we have dinner together at the old residence tonight?” It just so happens that the weather is not too hot. I’ll ask Madam Hu to prepare something.”

“I’ll also cook this fungus.”

“Alright, I’ll call my eldest son over to help get the ingredients in a while. If you need anything prepared by us, just let me know.”

“Alright.” Ye Muyu nodded in agreement.

Although there was a banquet at noon, there would definitely not be leftovers at this time of the day. Therefore, there were no leftovers at home.

When she heard Du Heng talk about the hotpot today, she started craving for it.

As for the pot for it, she could just ask Lu Chuan to buy it.

Ye Muyu brought Xiang Ling’er home.

“Cousin-in-law, is there anything I can help you with later?” She asked excitedly.

“If you’re curious, you can watch me clean up the fungus. When we get back, you can cook it for your brothers.” Ye Muyu also learned that Xiang Ling’er had three older brothers and a married sister.

She was the youngest in the family, so she was relatively young.

“Sure,” Hearing this, Xiang Ling’er was filled with anticipation.

After dinner at the old mansion, come back and ask Ziluo and Xiao Jin to read to you.” Ye Muyu gently arranged.

Xiang Ling ‘er nodded obediently, as if she would listen to whatever Ye Muyu said.

Ye Muyu looked at her obedient appearance and thought of Ziluo. Who would not like an innocent and cute girl?

The two of them returned to Chu Heng’s house one after the other.

In the courtyard, most of the students had already left. Only Dean Zhang Yue and Du Heng were left. The two of them had a close relationship with Chu Heng, so it was normal for Chu Heng to spend time with the two alone.

“Dean, Young Master Du.” Ye Muyu stepped forward and called out.

Xiang Ling ‘er also hurriedly greeted them.

“Sister-in-law, you can just call me Yanxu. It’s too formal to call me Young Master Du.” Du Heng smiled and seemed to be in a good mood. Yanxu was his nickname. Usually, only people who were close to him would call him that. Obviously, he treated Ye Muyu as one of his own.

“Alright, I’ll call you Yanxu from now on.” Ye Muyu nodded.

“Husband, I found some fresh wild vegetables. We’ll go to the old residence to eat in the pot tonight. Director, stay and have dinner with Yanxu. We’ll need them tonight. It won’t be too late. Besides, you guys definitely haven’t eaten this cold dish before.” Ye Muyu knew that both of them were sincere to Chu Heng, so she naturally had to treat him sincerely.

Zhang Yue subconsciously shook his head.

Du Heng was a little curious. “Sister-in-law, what’s the cold dish you mentioned? I’ve eaten a lot of cold dishes..”

“It’s a type of fungus, have you eaten it before?” Ye Muyu gestured to Ling ‘er, who quickly took out the bag in her hand and grabbed the fungus from it.

“Young Master Du, have you eaten this before?” she asked curiously.

She did not think so, but she thought that Young Master must have eaten a lot. Perhaps he had really eaten.

Du Heng lowered his head and reached out to touch it. His fingertips accidentally touched Xiang Ling’er’s palm.

Xiang Ling’er blushed. Her originally cute and ordinary appearance instantly blossomed with a different kind of beauty. Du Heng could not help but take another look. His gaze fell on her flushed face, which looked like an apple. He could not help but reach out and poke it.
