 Chapter 33: Vegetable Garden or Weed Patch

After a while, Chu Heng realized what he was thinking. He was filled with black lines on his forehead, gritting his teeth, wondering if he had gone blind. Wasn't he miserable enough in the previous life because of Ye Yunlan's schemes? The inner turmoil in Chu Heng's mind was completely unknown to Ye Muyu. Just as she stepped out of the kitchen, Chu Ziluo, who was in the main hall drinking rice wine and egg soup hurriedly ran out. "Mother, where are you going?" "I'm going to pick some green onions and ginger." Ye Muyu replied, drawing from the memories of the original owner. She knew these two crops were available during this era, so she didn't hesitate to use them. Although she usually didn't have much time to cook for herself, her culinary skills were good. Whenever she had spare time, she liked to experiment with cooking—be it Chinese, Western, or snacks. If it interested her, she'd try making it. "I'll go with you." Chu Ziluo quickly spoke up. Ye Muyu asked, "Have you finished eating?" "I have Mother. I'm full now but if I don't do any work for a while, I won't be able to eat later." "Ah, Mother, I don't want to eat more I just... just want to help you with the chores." As soon as the words came out, Chu Ziluo realized she misspoke in the previous sentence and hastily explained. Fear flashed in her eyes again, worried that Ye Muyu would be angry. Ye Muyu's expression remained unchanged, she continued to be gentle. "Alright, Mother knows. Coincidentally, I also need your help." "The rice wine and egg soup is originally a pre-dinner dessert. Even if you don't move, you'll get hungry soon." This dish was a common dessert in an ordinary family she learned during her previous life on a bustling farm. Of course, in a real ordinary family it wasn't called a dessert, it was purely for the laborers coming back from work providing better satisfaction than plain water. Seeing that Ye Muyu wasn't angry, Chu Ziluo's lips curled into a faint smile. She followed beside her, leaving the courtyard. The land near the Chu family's courtyard was all under Chu Heng's name. So, vegetables and other crops for daily consumption were planted around the house for convenience. The planting of vegetables was also handled by hired villagers. Only watering and fertilizing were done by Chu Lin, the eldest brother of the Chu family. Tasks like weeding needed to be done by Ye Yunlan herself. However, since Ye Yunlan was a person who didn't even want to do her own housework, the crops in the field did not yield well with too many weeds affecting the harvest. If it were just a family of four, it might have been sufficient. Ye Muyu walked into her vegetable garden, looking at the overgrown field, starting to doubt whether it was a vegetable garden or a weed patch. "Mother, the vegetables are growing well today." "And there are green onions too. Look, this area is filled with them." Chu Ziluo walked straight in, grabbed a handful of green onions and smiled brightly. Ye Muyu thought to herself that if it were other grains, they probably wouldn't bear any fruit. She walked over and took the onions in her hand. "That's enough no need to pull more." After inspecting the onion patch, Ye Muyu went to the adjacent vegetable patch. By mid-April, there were mainly various leafy greens, so the field had a lot of weeds. But it didn't affect the overall picture. However, starting from May, they would plant summer vegetables such as cucumbers, edamame, eggplants, peppers, carrots, and other vegetables. Weeds couldn't be allowed to thrive in that case. It seemed like this land needed a good cleanup. She didn't want to buy vegetables for every meal. The family only had around ten taels of silver, which couldn't last very long. As for Chu Heng's ability to earn money, she wasn't sure. Considering that Chu Heng could cover the costs of his own studies, he was already considered quite impressive. For a scholar, the annual expenses were at least ten taels or more.
