 Chapter 49: A Mother's Heart

"Mother, I'll go help the two children make their beds first." Ye Muyu said. Zhang instinctively looked at Chu Liushi. Chu Liushi was pleased with Ye Muyu's calm demeanor and nodded, saying, "Sure, come with me." Observing the departure of the four individuals Zhang felt somewhat surprised. After the room was left with only her and Chu Qingyu "Qingyu, do you think your Third Aunt is pretending or has she genuinely come to terms with it?" Zhang asked. Chu Qingyu was contemplating her potential ranking in the county for her four talents. When she heard her mother's question, she responded nonchalantly, "Mother, why bother thinking about that? We'll know in a while." "You're right." Zhang was reminded by her daughter and realized she was unnecessarily troubling herself. She decided to let go of the matter and redirected the conversation to the crucial topic of the four arts competition. "Qingyu, although you understand all four arts now, it might be challenging to rank in the top ten in the entire county." "Look, not only does the county magistrate have his own daughter but there are also daughters from scholarly families." "For us villagers, it might be difficult to compete with them but nothing is absolute. So, we still have a chance." "My daughter is the most talented. In the coming days, just consolidate your skills in the four arts." Afraid of putting too much pressure on Chu Qingyu, Zhang quickly retracted her words praising others' children. Chu Qingyu didn't mind what her mother said. She knew that getting into the top ten would be challenging, but it wasn't impossible. Looking at cooking and paper-cutting, those rich families' daughters probably hadn't touched these skills from a young age. Though there was a chance, she was always cautious and didn't want to waste any time. She told her mother, "Mother, I'll go back to my room to do some needlework. Don't bother calling me for trivial matters." "I know. Don't disturb you. Go ahead." Zhang was relieved that her daughter was willing to work hard. As the saying goes, it's not about fearing others being more outstanding but worrying that one's own daughter lacks ambition. Zhang knew that although effort was essential, having a good teacher was also crucial. Therefore, she was already thinking about finding someone to teach her daughter cooking which could be helpful. Sharing a similar mindset, Wang also rushed back to her natal home after returning home. Her mother was good at women's work and Wang wanted to pass on the news in advance, hoping to let her mother teach her daughter women's skills ahead of time. Meanwhile, on the other side: Accompanied by Chu Liushi, Ye Muyu arrived at the west wing room. The layout of the old Chu family house was similar to Chu Heng's. As soon as they entered the small courtyard, there were only a few rooms on both sides of the house. However, in the old Chu family house, there were more horizontal rooms and two additional wing rooms on each side. Chu Jin lived with the boys in the large room, Chu Sheng and Chu Ming. The first room in the west wing was the study where the three children studied together. It was also convenient for them. As for Chu Ziluo, she lived alone in the outermost small room in the east wing. This arrangement allowed Chu Ziluo and Chu Qingyu to do women's work together. Chu Liushi thought about this arrangement. Ye Muyu entered the room first. Although it was a bit smaller, she found it clean. The bedding including the mattress was newly changed and the bedsheets were neatly spread out. However, the room was empty, lacking furniture. "Mother, my husband said he would teach Ziluo to recognize characters. I'll buy a study desk later and place it by the window, alright?" Ye Muyu suggested.
