Peasant Woman's Decreed Life as a Wife

Chu Ziluo stood on her tiptoes and looked at the beautiful dumplings that her mother had made. She turned around and ran out of the kitchen. She returned to her room and took out a money box from the dressing cabinet. She took out five or six copper coins from it.

She held it in her palm and ran back to the kitchen happily.

She returned to the table and waved at Ye Muyu. “Mother, I want to put some copper coins in it. Whoever eats it will have good luck this year.”

“Okay, okay, okay. I want to eat dumplings with copper coins.” Chu Jin especially liked this kind of small surprise. He was the first to stand up and clap his hands in agreement.

“Go wash the copper coins and put them in later,” Ye Muyu said.

Ziluo happily asked Madam Hu to get hot water and wash the copper coins clean before letting Ye Muyu put them into the dumplings. The two children closed their eyes and did not look at them for fairness.

Ye Muyu fulfilled their request.

After the dumplings were cooked…

Chu Heng had also finished practicing his swordsmanship and came back after washing up.

It was just in time for breakfast.

Ye Muyu scooped out a portion of dumplings of each flavor and prepared a soup bowl and a dry plate bowl.

She preferred to eat the dumplings with pickled vegetables and mushroom fillings, but the tofu was very tender and had soup, so it was also very delicious.

Ye Muyu did not like eggs, so she did not touch the dumplings with egg filling.

On the contrary, Chu Jin, perhaps because he was a child, especially liked to eat egg fillings.

The family was eating happily.

A cracking sound was heard.

“Who put it there?” Chu Heng calmly spat out a copper coin and asked.

“Dad, I put them there. You’re too lucky. I didn’t eat a single one.” Chu Ziluo looked at him enviously.

Chu Jin was even more envious.

He took a bite of the dumpling and confirmed that there was nothing left. Then, he continued to bite another dumpling. After eating all the dumplings, there was nothing left. Tears almost fell from his eyes.

“You haven’t eaten this one yet.” Ye Muyu quickly snatched the piece that Chu Heng was about to pick up and placed it in Chu Jin’s bowl.

Chu Jin’s tears stopped. He sniffed and tried to take a bite.

He stood up happily and spat out the copper coins in his mouth. He almost laughed out loud. “Mother, I also got a copper coin!”

“Yes, Lil’ Jin’s luck must be very good this year.”

“Mother, then this copper coin is mine.” Chu Jin quickly stuffed the copper coins into his pocket.

Ye Muyu did not say anything. She saw that Ziluo was still trying her best to get a dumpling with a copper coin. However, she had already eaten five or six, but she still did not see any copper coins or silver coins. She looked a little disappointed.

Ye Muyu was someone who loved children. She tilted her head and looked at Chu Heng. Before he picked up a dumpling, she immediately stopped him and placed it on Ziluo’s plate.

Ziluo quickly took a bite, and sure enough, it made a cracking sound. She had gotten a copper coin and instantly smiled happily.

“Ah Yu, do you want one of my dumplings too?” Chu Heng raised his eyebrows.

“I don’t want it.” Ye Muyu shook her head and asked in confusion, “Why do all the dumplings on your plate have the copper coin?”

“I didn’t make any markings. I just scooped it casually.”

“Perhaps they felt Ah Yu’s feelings and you wanted me to eat it, so they came to my place,” said Chu Heng.

“Don’t be so talkative.” Ye Muyu blushed and snorted. “I think it must be because you can become the top scorer. That’s why you can get all the copper coins. This is called a happy occasion.”

“Father can be the top scorer?” Chu Jin asked with his eyes wide open in surprise as he slowly ate the dumpling he had bitten.

Ziluo also said, ” Mother, I read in the book that the top scorer can ride a horse in the streets. It’s very impressive.”
