PWDLAW Chapter 43: Chance Encounter with Wang

 Chapter 43: Chance Encounter with Wang

The village was not far from the county town, so there were some private shops open regularly. Although not many, these shops provided essential items like salt, pork, eggs, and simple fabrics. Despite the limited fabric styles and unattractive colors, most villagers preferred buying locally rather than making the trip to the county town. Ye Muyu first went to the meat stall and bought five catties of pork. Then she visited the grocery store and purchased a catty of tea leaves. The grocery store had a variety of items, and Ye Muyu even bought some condiments like soy sauce and vinegar. After picking up kitchen supplies, Ye Muyu walked to the wooden cabinet where they kept their shoes and asked, "Ziluo, which pair do you like?" "Mom, I don't need to buy shoes. I can make them myself." Chu Ziluo quickly waved her hands. Speaking of which, shoes and other finished products were challenging to sell in the grocery store. Most villagers preferred making their own shoes and clothes. While buying fabric was acceptable, purchasing shoes seemed unnecessary. However, Ye Muyu didn't mind. She knew how to make them but lacked the time. Having experienced a life where efficiency was crucial, she found such time-consuming tasks with little gain unacceptable. Adapting quickly, she chose comfort over tradition. "The blue ones look nice, let's go with this pair." Ye Muyu directly picked a pair for her, confirmed the size after trying them on and paid the price. "Madam Scholar, come back next time." the shop owner, Mrs. Wu said with a smiling face. Ye Muyu nodded with a light smile "Mrs. Wu, you conduct your business fairly. I may trouble you in the future." "There's nothing troublesome about it. In the future, if your family needs anything, just let my children know. In the time it takes to blink, we'll deliver it to you." Mrs. Wu happily accepted this olive branch. Not everyone had the chance to become friends with the scholarly madam. As for those gossipy women in the village who talked about Ye's family, Mrs. Wu thought they were just envious of Ye Muyu's good life. After leaving the grocery store, Ye Muyu encountered many people greeting her on the way. They were ordinary villagers with whom she had little interaction. She didn't say much, just responded briefly, it was already considered good enough. "Younger sister, with so many things, where are you going?"  Ye Muyu didn't expect to meet Wang on the road. "Sister-in-law." Ye Muyu replied and casually said, "Just bought some daily necessities like oil, salt, soy sauce, and vinegar that we need at home. Also bought some tea leaves because the two children are going to study at their grandparents and it might be a bit of trouble for them, so I got some tea leaves." "Oh, really going?" Wang seemed somewhat surprised that Ye Muyu openly mentioned this matter in public. She quickly looked around, realizing that no one was paying attention and then breathed a sigh of relief. After saying this, Wang nervously continued, "Actually, my third brother is overthinking. Ziluo is too young to get married. My daughter didn't go to the old house to study either." Wang spoke much more softly after these words. "Well, um third sister-in-law, you're busy and I need to do some work too." Wang obviously didn't want to say much more, realizing that her words were inappropriate. Ye Muyu nodded and walked away with Chu Ziluo. "Mom, Auntie Wang said that Qingyu doesn't need to go. Why do I have to go?" Chu Ziluo asked softly. She felt that her mother had been so gentle since yesterday and she didn't want to go to Auntie's house. She wanted to stay at her own home.
