Peasant Woman's Decreed Life as a Wife

Chapter 1046: Chapter 1043: Back Again

She was merely using other people’s knowledge, so naturally she wouldn’t want to keep it to herself.

“Of course you can, when you go back later I’ll give you a book, and you’ll understand once you’ve read it.”

Ye Muyu continued to make Huizhou cuisine, braised masked palm civet.

The chosen Sichuan dish was spicy chicken.

All were home-cooked dishes, but the taste varied, the last dish that tested the cooking skills was boiled white cabbage, a dish of stir-fried green vegetables.

Even while cooking, Zhao Qingqing was almost drooling because of the delicious smell, “This is too fragrant.”

“Sister Ye, I’m in for a treat!”

Wait until all the food was prepared.

She had Su Mei and Chun Xing help carry the dishes to the dining room.

Zhao Qingqing also busily took the initiative to carry dishes.

“Su Mei, go call Lil’ Jin back for lunch.” Chu Jin still needed to return to the mansion for lunch; perhaps having been at Yuzhou School and having experienced much, he now completed his homework without needing Ye Muyu to remind him, and he made it a point to finish it first thing upon returning home every day.

It wasn’t long before Chu Jin arrived.

Zhao Qingqing couldn’t wait to start eating, “Lil’ Jin, let’s eat!”

“Ms. Zhao, so it was you who came, no wonder today’s lunch is so lavish.” Chu Jin also began to eat, his preference being for meat dishes, and he was particularly satisfied with just the lion’s head meatballs.

“Lil’ Jin, you don’t know how lucky you are, I only get to eat Sister Ye’s cooking once a day. How about we switch places? You come to my house as the son, and I’ll come to your house as the daughter.”

Chu Jin widened his eyes, shaking his head in refusal, “No, my mother would never abandon me.”

“Dream on,” he added without forgetting.

Zhao Qingqing was extremely envious, “How great it would be to go to my house, my grandfather could teach you how to read, and as a boy, you can’t just think about eating all the time.”

“Does your kitchen maid have my mother’s cooking skills? Definitely not, in the entire Great Chu, only my mother’s cooking is the best. I’m very content to stay with my mother, and I won’t be tricked by you.” Chu Jin was very clear about this as outsiders’ love for his mother’s cooking made it evident.

Moreover, his mother was very capable; it just so happened that she couldn’t hold office.

Even so, in school, the young master from the Zhao family had spoken up for him; Lin Yun, Song Wei and a few others no longer dared to blatantly target him. Even the master remained just and fair, no longer biased.

“I know your mother is good, boo hoo, I’m so jealous.” Zhao Qingqing was a true foodie, wishing she could stay by Ye Muyu’s side every day, solely providing for meals.

A meal was eaten.

Surprisingly, not much was left on the table.

Ye Muyu’s appetite was not big.

As Chu Ziluo grew older, her appetite also improved.

The most impressive was Zhao Qingqing, who had several main dishes and was still not full, her figure not gaining weight; no wonder she dared to eat so freely.

In the afternoon.

Zhao Qingqing played until nearly dark before she went back.

Ye Muyu was about to send Chu Ziluo back to her own courtyard.

A servant boy returned from outside.

“Lady, the master has already arrived outside the city.”

Ye Muyu was slightly stunned but it was Chu Ziluo who reacted fastest, “Is dad back?”

“To answer the young miss, the master should arrive in about fifteen minutes.”

“I understand, mother, let’s wait at the gate for dad to come back, I’ll call my brother over too.”

Ye Muyu nodded her agreement; the two children probably missed their father, after all, Chu Heng had not seen the two children for almost half a year.

Chu Jin lazily walked to the gate.

The door was opened, Ye Muyu stood at the doorway with the two children, and Su Mei, worried about her catching cold, brought over the cloak Zhao Qingqing had given that morning to drape over her.
