Chapter 826: Choose for Yourself
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Madam, it’s time to eat.” Madam Hu’s voice sounded from outside the door.
Ye Muyu hummed and got someone to get water to wash his hands.
After tidying up, she entered the central room. Looking at Ling’er and the two children sitting in the room, she was stunned for a moment. She asked Madam Hu behind her, “Why isn’t the Master back yet?”
“Madam, this servant doesn’t know either. This servant will call Old Zhang to ask.”
“Yes.” Ye Muyu nodded.
She looked at the steaming hot food and did not wait. She took the soup bowl first and let them drink some soup to fill their stomachs.
After a while, Madam Hu came back and told her, “Madam, the Master is at the old residence. He said that he wants to discuss the matter of renovating the house.”
“The old residence seems to want to renovate the residence too. Master asked Madam to eat first. There’s no need to wait for him. He’ll come back after eating at the old residence.”
This kind of house repair was a big deal, and it would probably take a long time to talk about it. Ye Muyu was not very interested, so she nodded to show that she understood and asked Madam Hu to go down for dinner.
“Alright, let’s start eating after the soup,” she said.
“Mother, am I going to school tomorrow?” Chu Jin was overjoyed after playing for a while. However, Chu Heng brought him into the study in the afternoon and asked him to do his homework. Only then did the child remember that he had to study.
After asking this question, she was listless as if she had not eaten for a few days.
Ye Muyu knew that scholars were also lazy sometimes. She said,” Anyway, you have to take the imperial examination in the future. You can’t possibly lose to your father, right? So, if you study more now, you can relax in the future. Don’t you think so, Lil’ Jin?”
She could say that she was bluffing, but she was also telling the truth.
Unless Lil’ Jin could bear it when he grew up. As a father, after he resigned, his family would fall and his standard of living would plummet.
She did not insist on anything. After all, everyone had their own pursuits.
Therefore, she did not hide it from him and told him directly.
Chu Jin was a little stunned. “Mother, I didn’t think that much.”
“It’s okay. Take your time to think about it. There’s no hurry.” Ye Muyu picked up a piece of red braised pork for the two children and smiled gently. “If you can’t figure it out now, maybe you’ll understand it one day.”
“Mother, I will remember it and think about it in the future.” Chu Jin grinned and ate the red braised pork in one bite. He was extremely satisfied.
Chu Ziluo’s lips moved. She understood what her mother meant. She had to fight for what she wanted. She just wanted to learn from her mother and live a free life.
She raised her head and looked at her mother, who was sitting on the seat of honor. She ate the braised pork in her mouth and felt extremely happy.
The dinner was sumptuous, with Ye Muyu’s favorite spicy chicken.
With Chu Heng’s caravan around, they basically had all the ingredients at home. It was just that the cost was higher than before. However, now that the family’s conditions were better, it was not a big deal to eat a little better.
After dinner…
Lil’ Jin went to the study room to study while Ye Muyu called Ziluo and Ling’er into her room.
“Ziluo, take a look. What kind of room do you want? How big do you want it to be?” Ye Muyu showed her the blueprints of some rooms.
“Mother, I just want to live with you.” Chu Ziluo hugged her arm and acted coquettishly for a while.
“Silly girl, you’ll be a big girl in a year’s time. You’ll have to live alone. Mother will live next door, very close.” Ye Muyu patted her head. This child was meticulous. She would often pay attention to her thoughts, afraid that she would do something wrong and make her timid again.
