Chapter 416: Not Right
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Ye Muyu was not surprised by Chu Lin and Chu Xueqin’s actions. As for the second and fourth branch, she frowned slightly. The reactions of the two families made her realize that it was inappropriate for her to inform her clansmen to buy saplings.
Initially, she had good intentions. She thought that when she told the Xie family the recipe for the spicy fish fillet, she would only agree that her family would provide the exact amount of mountain peppers in the future. With this agreement, it was equivalent to cooperating with the Xie family and providing the ingredients.
This was also a good business.
It was like selling pickled cabbages.
The supply of pickled cabbages was considered saturated. She did not give the recipe to the others in the clan from the beginning, so it was naturally not good to divide the income of the first and second branches.
Now, this mountain pepper was a way for the entire clan to have more business.
It seemed that most people were unwilling to invest in advance. It was her who had not thought it through.
Ye Muyu threw this matter to the back of her mind. She quickly understood Chu An’s attitude. Chu An probably wanted to make peace.
In fact, the first branch was still the clan leader’s family, and Chu An would be the next clan leader.
It was not a bad thing to be on good terms with the other party.
However, Madam Cao had crossed her bottom line, so she did not change her mind about not wanting to get along with her anymore.
Nonetheless, it was not appropriate to maintain a stiff relationship with the clan leader’s family.
Now, Chu A was using this matter to take initiative to make peace.
Ye Muyu could not pretend that she did not notice him. When Chu Heng returned, he would probably have to go to first branch’s house at night.
“You can leave. It’s okay now.”
Lu Chuan went to find something to do.
Ye Muyu went into the kitchen to prepare lunch.
After Chu Jin returned, he went straight to the study.
He flipped through a few books and kept reading.
Chu Ziluo heard the noise and followed him into the study curiously. She saw Chu Jin sitting cross-legged on the couch with a few miscellaneous notes on his lap.
She walked over and picked up a book. “Brother, what are you doing?” she asked curiously.
“Brother Zhongjin is too amazing. He asked me a few questions today, but I could not answer them.” Chu Jin was an impatient person. When he encountered something he did not understand, he would immediately find the answer.
“Really? Brother Zhongjin is also attending classes?”
Chu Jin shook his head. “No, Brother Zhongjin has to recite Buddhist scriptures every day and complete the homework assigned by the abbot. He’s always reading alone in the room.”
“I just went to talk to him after class.”
“Why does he still need to chant Buddhist scriptures?” Chu Ziluo muttered softly, feeling curious.
Chu Jin replied, “Brother Zhongjin said that until he reaches adulthood, he will be a secular disciple. Even at home, he cannot look down on Buddhism. This is what he is used to doing.”
“Oh.”
After Chu Ziluo understood, she stopped focusing on it and started to help Chu Jin find the answer in the book.
Ye Muyu and Madam Hu prepared lunch together.
They had potato and rice for lunch.
She steamed some bitter gourds, cut them into sections, and poured minced meat into the hole in the middle.
A dish of stir-fried beans. This season was just the right time to eat beans, so it was very tender. The beans were stir-fried with pork fat, so it had some flavor.
The next dishe was was a cold dish with garlic and cucumber.
Ye Muyu usually could not finish the stewed chicken, but Chu Heng bought a chicken every day.
She could only scoop out all the chicken and make a braised chicken dish. The soup was poured over the rice and it was very appetizing.
After lunch…
Chu Jin and Chu Ziluo did not leave. They looked at Ye Muyu, obviously wanting to say something.
“What’s wrong?” Ye Muyu rinsed her mouth with tea before asking the two children..
