Chapter 40
Change in Appearance
“Since this bowl is dirty, will the other food be dirty too?”
Ye Muyu nodded gratefully. Ziluo was a smart child, and she understood immediately. She felt more at ease.
“Ziluo, do you understand why Mother asked you to dry the dishes?”
“Other than wiping, we will also use boiling water to heat the chopsticks and bowls before every meal. This way, it will be cleaner. If customers come and see it, they will feel much better and feel that the food is clean.”
Ye Muyu thought that since she could not use the disinfectant in her previous life, she could only resort to boiling water. It was better than nothing.
“Mother, I understand. I will remember to dry the dishes in the future.”
“I’ll also soak them in boiling water before using it.” Chu Ziluo thought that her mother was really smart. She could even think of such a small matter and even told her in such a good way. “Mother, you know so much. Father said that once you study, you will know a lot. It seems that Mother must have read a lot.”
Yes, after studying, one would gain slowly accumulated knowledge, which led to the current Ye Muyu.
She said, “Good child. I sent you to the old residence this time because I wanted you to learn these little things from your grandmother. Although it’s not in the books, it’s very important to us women.”
Ye Muyu took the opportunity to bring up the old residence and let Ziluo go so that she would learn properly.
Ye Muyu’s mother-in-law, Madam Liu, had a lot of knowledge. If Ziluo went to learn, there would only be benefits and no harm.
Chu Ziluo nodded seriously.
After washing the dishes, Ye Muyu told Chu Ziluo to go rest. She continued to sit in front of the stove and watch the medicine being boiled.
It was early spring, and the weather was getting warmer. However, Ye Muyu still felt cold. It was obvious that her body was weak and needed to be nourished. She did not know if this body was just weak after giving birth or if there was some other reason.
She thought about when she would go to see the doctor and ask more questions.
Ye Muyu sat on a small stool and watched the night fall. The bright moonlight shone in through the window, and the stove beside her was rumbling.
She reached out and looked at her fingers. They were no longer the familiar slender fingers that were well-maintained.
The hands of this body were thin and weak, but the skin was fair. She had looked in the mirror and felt that she looked pretty good. She even vaguely looked like her in her previous life.
It was a pity that the bronze mirror was too unclear, so she could not be sure. After all, she could only see a blurry outline.
By the time the medicine was ready, it was already an hour later.
Ye Muyu drank the medicine and felt warm. She was a little sleepy.
She quickly washed up and returned to the east wing.
She resisted the urge to sleep. She was afraid that when she woke up in the middle of the night, she would have to face a strange man sleeping next to her. That would be very torturous. It would be better if she woke up and he was already gone.
She lit an oil lamp, and slowly made shoes.
According to her speed, it would probably take four to five days to finish.
She decided not to make clothes for Chu Heng this time. Otherwise, she was worried that just making clothes would take three months.
Ye Muyu focused on making shoes.
She did not even notice that Chu Heng had returned.
Chu Heng walked in and saw Ye Muyu making shoes slowly and carefully. Her expression was very serious. It was completely different from the face in his memory that was often ferocious, angry, frowning, and rough.
At this moment, Ye Muyu’s expression was calm.
Even if he just watched silently from the side, he felt very comfortable.
It turned out that a change in personality could really affect a person’s appearance.
Chu Heng concluded in his heart.
