She had also applied the cream Ye Muyu had given her on her hands and face so that her skin would not be dry.
“Cousin-in-law, I’ve used the cream you gave me. It’s very good. My sisters-in-law and the others also said it’s good. They asked me to ask you how much it would cost to buy the cheapest cream.”
“Eight copper coins are enough.” Ye Muyu did not expect Ling’er to help promote her makeup.
Ye Muyu had already tied up Ziluo’s hair. She reached out and tapped Zi Luo’s arm. “Ziluo, go and help Mother bring the wooden box from the room.”
“Mother, I’ll go now.” Chu Ziluo ran away.
Ye Muyu continued combing Chu Jin’s hair.
After she had tidied Chu Jin’s hair, Chu Ziluo carried the wooden box over. Ye Muyu opened it and took out three portions of cream from it, handing it to Xiang Ling’er.
Xiang Ling’er took it and went to look for the three daughters-in-law of the Xiang family. She told them the price. The price was cheap, so they naturally bought it without hesitation. They still had this bit of money.
Xiang Ling’er took the money and ran back to Ye Muyu. She handed the copper coins to her like a treasure. “Cousin-in-law, the money for the cream.”
“Thank you, Ling ‘er. Here’s some money for your hard work,” Ye Muyu handed her two copper coins.
“Mother, I want it too.” Chu Jin’s eyes lit up when he saw this. He hugged Ye Muyu’s leg and acted coquettishly.
“Alright, if you cause trouble, Mother will deduct copper coins.” Ye Muyu had defeated him.
Chu Jin immediately pouted. “Mother, I won’t cause trouble.”
“Here, two for you. Ziluo, two for you. If you cause trouble, I’ll deduct your copper coins.” Ye Muyu said with a smile.
The two children had some pocket money, but it was probably not much. Ye Muyu usually gave them some, but it was not too much. It was enough for them to spend.
“Mother, I won’t let you take it back.” Chu Ziluo quickly put away the copper coins and patted her clothes, as if they would not be taken back.
Chu Jin was a money-grubber. He was determined not to let Ye Muyu take away what was in his pocket. Without thinking, he agreed to Ye Muyu’s condition.
After breakfast at the Xiang family home.
They split up.
The eldest son of the Xiang family brought his wife back from the mountains to pick the fungus. At the same time, he brought the children back.
Daniu and the other kids could also help.
Xiang Laoer went to chop firewood.
The other two daughters-in-law of the Xiang family were learning how to bake wood ears in the kitchen.
Xiang Zhifu was busy entertaining Xiang Zhisen and the others, while Chu Heng was already sitting in the main room.
Ye Muyu did not need to do anything since there were not any women.
Du Heng was also called over to accompany them, but he had a lot of freedom and could leave at any time to do what he wanted.
Thus, when Ye Muyu was talking with the women of the Xiang family, Du Heng came in with the ‘Explaining Words’ book in his hand. He looked at the women in the room and smiled gently. “Sisters-in-law, are you willing to listen to Yanxu teach you how to use this book?”
When the eldest daughter-in-law of the Xiang family heard this, she instantly became nervous. We can’t read, so I’m afraid we can’t understand.”
The other two also nodded.
Xiang Ling’er nodded, but seeing her sisters-in-law’s response, she obediently opened her eyes and did not say anything.
However, Du Heng could see it clearly. He called her a silly girl in his heart before continuing with a smile. “Sisters-in-law, don’t worry. If you don’t understand it once, you’ll be fine after hearing it a few more times.”
“In any case, it’s not a bad thing.”
“Will it be too much trouble for you?” The eldest daughter-in-law of the Xiang family was worried about this, so she couldn’t help but ask carefully.
