Peasant Woman’s Decreed Life as a Wife

Chapter 31

Can’t Be Illiterate

“Is this really written by your mother?” Chu Heng could not help but ask again.

Chu Jin was almost scared to tears. He nodded obediently. “Father, Mother really wrote this according to the book. Mother definitely didn’t help me write it.”

Seeing that his son had misunderstood him, he realized that he had lost his composure. He restrained the emotions on his face and silently put away the piece of paper that Ye Muyu had written on. “Have some rice wine and eggs first. Don’t waste them. We’ll have meatballs for dinner. It’s a little late, so have a snack first. After eating, you can continue practicing.”

“Got it, Father.” Chu Jin waited for Chu Heng to leave.

Only then did he dare to sit down on the stool. Looking at the rice wine and egg water in front of him, he smiled and took a sip. When he tasted this delicious taste, he felt that all his hard work was worth it.

He had completely forgotten that he had cursed the characters in his mind.

Chu Heng stepped into the kitchen.

Ye Muyu said, “Take Ziluo’s food to the central room and leave. It’s too hot. She can’t carry it as a child.”

“Put it there and come back to help me chop the meat.”

Chu Ziluo listened on from the side. She was terrified. Her mother actually ordered her father to work!

It was still kitchen work!

It was really too amazing.

Chu Ziluo’s eyes were full of stars as she looked at Ye Muyu with admiration.

Chu Heng looked at Ye Muyu meaningfully and secretly remembered that this was the second time Madam Ye had ordered him around!

Ye Muyu did not know that Chu Heng was so petty.

In fact, if she knew, she would not have to worry so much about being tricked by Chu Heng.

The two of them were too scheming. They could only wait for them to have mutual trust before taking off their protective shells.

Ye Muyu washed some vegetables.

In this season, there were many vegetables growing. Ye Muyu saw that there was still some spinach in the kitchen. She planned on cooking the meatballs after washing the spinach.

Chu Heng walked in once again and stood beside her. A shadow fell on her.

Ye Muyu seemed to have sensed something and moved two steps to the side to give him space. “Just mince the meat.”

“Madam Ye, have you heard of the saying, ‘A gentleman stays far away from the kitchen’ from the ‘Mencius’ chapter in ‘Commentary on Liang Hui Wang’.” Chu Heng suddenly spoke up, trying to argue with Ye Muyu.

Ye Muyu was speechless.

She complained silently in her heart. ‘Was this man trying to look down on her for not being educated?’

However, the original host was indeed uneducated.

Therefore, she looked up with a confused expression and looked at Chu Heng. “What do you mean?”

Chu Heng stared at her without blinking, wanting to see through her. Ye Muyu found it even more strange. She looked at him with a frown and did not dodge at all.

Chu Heng did not give up and continued to look at her, trying to see if she was pretending. However, Ye Muyu’s reaction was very natural, as if she really did not understand at all.

“Nevermind.” Chu Heng retracted his gaze and his expression returned to its cold state.

Ye Muyu was speechless.

Ye Muyu ignored him and continued to wash the rice, preparing to cook the rice first.

The room suddenly quieted down. Just when she thought that Chu Heng would not make another sound.

“Lil’ Jin said you wrote a sample font for him to see?” Chu Heng suddenly said.”

Ye Muyu did not expect him to suddenly mention this. To be honest, she did not take this small matter to heart at all. However, Chu Heng’s reaction reminded her of the fact that it was difficult to study in this era.

She pondered over how to deal with this matter.

She did not want to be illiterate, nor did she want her actions to look too abrupt. She had to find an opportunity to learn the words of this dynasty. Only by reading could she know more about this dynasty.
