 Chapter 19: Farming?

"Alright." Ye Muyu nodded. At the same time, she picked up a blank piece of paper and wrote two lines, handing it to him "In the future follow these rules. Don't write randomly on paper. If your father gets angry, even I won't be able to protect you." Chu Jin shook his head with resignation. "Mother, can I not study? Studying is so tiring." Chu Jin felt a bit lazy. Ye Muyu nodded "Sure, then you can go work on the farm. You'll be responsible for three acres temporarily. Like the elders in the village, whatever crops you harvest, you can use. From now on, I won't cook or buy clothes for you. The harvest from your land will be all yours. You can live however you want." "No money, no clothes, and no food?" Chu Jin felt like the sky was falling. Moreover, three acres of land was quite large. If he wanted to cultivate crops, he felt that it would be more challenging than studying. Chu Jin quickly shook his head "Mother, I'll study. I must study." Ye Muyu gave him a disdainful look "Are you sure? The harvest from three acres can be sold for three to four taels of silver in a year." "Three to four taels..." Chu Jin swallowed realizing that his little savings hadn't exceeded that amount. He was tempted, but thinking about the hard work in the fields, he immediately shook his head, "No need, Mother. I must study. I want to be as capable as Father in the future." "Alright, if you find studying unbearable in the future you can still go work on the farm." Chu Jin froze. He hadn't expected that choosing to study wasn't the worst option the worst was being sent to work on the farm anytime! "Mother, we agreed. If I receive praise from Grandfather and Father, you will give me copper coins." Chu Jin remembered that he needed to save money to turn things around. With money, he could be like his parents, spending money and letting others work the fields. One had to admit that a lazy person's way of thinking was incomparable to a hardworking person's. Ye Muyu didn't care about his thoughts. If his mind was set as he grew older, he would naturally straighten out. Without lingering any longer, she turned and left the room heading to Chu Ziluo's room. She knocked on the door and soon Chu Ziluo hurriedly opened it. Seeing her, she anxiously said "Mother, have you finished talking with Father? Can I go wash the dishes now? Is it time to serve the upper room?" Ye Muyu was a bit surprised. This child was unexpectedly clever. "I've finished talking and washing the dishes. I came to tell you something." "Ah... Mother, please come in quickly." Chu Ziluo quickly let Ye Muyu into the room. When Ye Muyu sat down she stood in front of her, nervously looking at her. "It's okay, sit down. Your father thinks that your cousin Qingxiang is a good match, so during this time, you'll stay in the old house and learn more from your grandmother. Don't want to grow up and know nothing about anything." "Ah? Go to Grandpa's house?" Chu Ziluo was as surprised as Chu Jin. "Mother, what about you?" "Mother will be at home. I'll go see you during the day." Ye Muyu couldn't neglect their responsibilities. She needed to be responsible for the two children. Chu Ziluo felt relieved. "Mother, rest assured, I'll study hard. When you're busy with housework I'll find time to come back and help." Ye Muyu didn't refuse. She didn't want the children to feel that this home was no longer theirs. "You just need to pack a set of clothes and bring them over tomorrow. If you need anything, Mother will bring it to you." Ye Muyu thought for a moment. Although she couldn't refuse Chu Heng's request, she could play a little smart and use excuses to visit the old house.
