PWDLAW Chapter 48: Superstition

 Chapter 48: Superstition

Ye Muyu's eyes widened. That statement sounded very modern... Chu Heng noticed her reaction and contemplated. Indeed Ye Muyu must have heard this phrase and that's why she intentionally learned cooking, trying to capture his heart. How annoying. Ye Muyu, oblivious to Chu Heng's self-indulgent thoughts focused on what he had just said. Son-in-law? This phrase should be from modern times, perhaps originating from the words of the contemporary writer Zhang Ailing. It was not recorded in ancient times. However, it was also possible that someone from ancient times had said it. She had no idea who this "son-in-law" was and if he was another time traveler like her... Or perhaps the person who said this just spoke without much thought. Ye Muyu was curious but understood that being in different places—him in the capital, and she in Nanchang—they were probably far apart. She couldn't possibly find out more. She could only suppress this curiosity deep in her heart. However, she knew that when she acted in the future, she needed to be subtle. At least, she couldn't let other time travelers know that she was also from a different time. Just thinking about it, if a person from the future appeared in ancient times and people found out, even if she wouldn't be captured and experimented on as some online rumors suggested, she would still be secretly monitored. In the more superstitious ancient times those in power might treat such a person as a deity or maybe just casually mention it and the person would vanish mysteriously. To preserve her life, Ye Muyu believed that keeping a low profile was the way to survive. Wang and Zhang exchanged glances. Although Chu Heng's words were too straightforward, they also contained some truth. "Third brother, since this information is true we should inform the clan as soon as possible and make preparations. Do you know when the competition will take place?" Chu Zhiwen asked. "The county hasn't issued an official document yet. I just heard about it in advance. It shouldn't be long before the official announcement. When the time comes, father you can have the young men in the clan check the notice board outside the county office." Chu Heng replied. Upon hearing this, Chu Zhiwen also realized there was no need for further inquiries. Chu Zhiwen stood up. "We should inform the clan about this news sooner rather than later. Third brother, let's go see the clan head together." "Liushi, discuss the details of future studies with the elder ones." Chu Liushi nodded, watching the two leave. She then said, "Now that Third Brother has confirmed this news, it must be true. From now on, Qingyu and Ziluo will come to the old house to learn paper-cutting and tea art with me." Wang didn't object this time. "Mother, it's up to you." Ye Muyu also spoke, "Mother, I'll come to the old house more often in the future." "If you have anything, just let me know." Chu Liushi sincerely reciprocated the same level of kindness she received from Ye Muyu. Chu Liushi nodded in satisfaction. "Okay." "However, the old house can't accommodate so many children. Wang, Qingyu will come to learn during the day and return home at night." She didn't mention Chu Ziluo but both Zhang and Wang understood that it was Chu Heng's request. As sisters-in-law they couldn't interfere especially when even Ye Muyu hadn't said anything against it. "You all can go back and do your own things. Come back tomorrow to start." Chu Liushi needed to prepare tea leaves and teacups. Wang stood up with Chu Qingyu. "Mother, we'll leave now. We'll come over on time tomorrow." "Alright." Chu Liushi didn't detain them. Wang and Chu Qingyu left for their work in the fields and Ye Muyu also stood up. Seeing her movement, Chu Ziluo hurriedly stood up and followed beside her. Although Chu Jin was slower he also slid down from the chair and stood up straight.
