Peasant Woman's Decreed Life as a Wife

Chapter 841: Too Low Production

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

By the time the family was full, the heavy rain outside had almost stopped.

Perhaps it was because she had overeaten, Ye Muyu casually said that she was too full to sleep and needed to take a walk. However, Chu Heng grabbed her and brought her to bed.

The night was filled with an ambiguous atmosphere. In the end, Ye Muyu did not know when she fell asleep.

In the following days…

Ye Muyu trained those people in the shop.

Five days later, the cosmetics shop finally opened for business.

Ye Muyu only needed to research new products, and the real production would be done by another workshop.

Ye Muyu was busy for the whole day before she finally finished opening the market.

After a good rest at night, she felt better the next day.

“Ah Heng, let’s go take a look at the estate later.” With this delay, it was already the middle of November.

It rarely snowed in Jiangnan, but when they woke up in the morning, the ground was covered in silver frost.

Chu Heng stepped forward and grabbed her hand. Feeling the coldness, he frowned slightly. “Wear more clothes later. I don’t know what’s the situation in the estate. If something happens, I’m afraid I won’t be back for a day.”

“Alright, then I’ll ask Madam Hu to bring an extra set of clothes and armguards.”

“Bring a hand warmer too.”

The two of them were preparing their luggage for the trip.

Footsteps sounded outside the door, followed by Butler Luo’s voice. “Master, Madam, this old servant has something to report.”

“What is it?” Chu Heng opened the door and asked.

“A man at the door said that he came to thank the Madam for saving his life…” Butler Luo quickly went forward.

“A man?” Chu Heng said these two words. Even though it was obviously normal, it still made people feel a chill.

Ye Muyu slapped her forehead. “Ah, I remember now. When I went to pick you up two nights ago, I met a man who was injured in an alley by the roadside. I asked Han Zhuang to send him to Hefeng Pharmacy. I forgot about him.”

Hearing that it was Han Zhuang, Chu Heng’s expression became better.

When he heard Ye Muyu’s reaction, especially the word ‘forget’, he narrowed his eyes to hide the lightness in them.

“Since you have forgotten, there is no need for him to thank you. If he really wants to repay her for saving his life, just let him leave the medical fees.”

The moment he opened his mouth, he immediately sent Butler Luo away.

Butler Luo glanced at Ye Muyu and saw that her expression was calm and gentle. He assumed that she would not object, so he bowed and left to deal with the matter.

After leaving, he could not help but think that it was no wonder Chu Heng doted on Ye Muyu. It was because Ye Muyu treated Chu Heng well.

As expected, the feelings between people were mutual. He also had the intention to go to the street to buy some gifts for his old wife.

Ye Muyu did not care about the person she saved.

Ling’er wanted to stay at home and take care of the wood ears. She did not plan to take the children, but Ziluo insisted on following them when she heard that they were going to the estate.

Ye Muyu thought about it and did not refuse.

The three of them boarded the carriage.

The carriage was not slow. This time, they would first go to the nearest Lu Estate, which was their mother’s village, Dazhu Village.

Nothing happened on the way. Ye Muyu thought about it and took out the account book of Lu Estate in advance.

After reading the account book, she frowned slightly. The Lu Estate was not small. It had around 3600 square meters of land, including some mountainous areas, fertile land, and a house.

Logically speaking, this area was almost the size of a dozen ordinary families in the countryside. There should be a lot of production. However, there were only tea leaves planted there. As a result, the annual sales of tea leaves only earned about twenty taels of silver.

“What’s wrong? Are you unhappy?” Chu Heng turned his gaze from the caravan’s daily report to her and asked with concern when he saw her sigh.
