 Chapter 124: The Matter of the Initial Division

It was just that the profits were considerable. Ye Muyu felt that this expenditure was necessary temporarily as it was needed to buy the shop. Of course, she had to continue working hard to earn more silver. Although Ye Muyu wasn't obsessed with wealth, she still had a desire for a better life. "Not difficult." Chu Ziluo instantly thought of the recent sale of medicinal herbs, smiling "Mom, if I find any herbs that can be sold in the future, I guarantee I'll be the first to go." "Now there are no medicinal herbs at home and it's a pity that our family doesn't have a hillside." Ye Muyu thought about it. When the family split up, Chu Heng didn't actually get a hillside but he got more fields. Considering it, it was fair. That was because the tax on hillside was less and the tax on fields was more. At that time, Chu Liusi and Chu Zhiwen were trying to get as little tax as possible. Chu Heng didn't say anything from start to finish and didn't interfere with the matter of the family split. Perhaps because of this, Chu Lin and Chu Cai got quite a bit of hillside at first and fewer fields. It might be because they wanted to cultivate Chu Heng's land later but the meaning of the fields was in Chu Heng's hands. Of course, the hillside Chu Heng bought with his own money later didn't count. But later, maybe because both families were living well and Chu Heng was always participating in the imperial examinations without giving up and he didn't need Chu Zhiwen's money. Chu Lin and Chu Cai saw the ability of this younger brother and let go of this matter. After that, as time passed the three brothers persisted in dividing the property as they had agreed and there were no more waves. Originally, they thought the hillside was not very useful, at most it provided some timber saving some silver when building houses. Who knew because of the incident with the kudzu roots and wild fan fruit, Chu Lin and Chu Cai's families received substantial income and each felt like they unexpectedly gained extra wealth. After leaving Chu Heng's house, Chu Xing went straight home. There was no one at home at the moment not even his second sister-in-law. She had taken her two-year-old daughter to the hillside to collect wild fan fruit and other medicinal herbs. Chu Xing thought about it. Afraid that the cake would go bad, he cut it in half, leaving it in the hall. He then cut the other half into six pieces, took it with him on the mule cart and drove the cart to the edge of the fields. Xingshui Village had many trees, especially in some areas by the fields which became a place for villagers to rest when they were not working. Chu Xing drove the mule cart to the main road. He then carried a pot of tea and the cake and walked briskly over. "Dad, you should thank Sister-in-law first. This is a cake that Sister-in-law asked me to bring back as a gift for you and Mom. She said this cake won't last half a daynand I was afraid it would go bad, so I brought half of it over." "Take your time to eat after you finish, have some tea first." The busy farming season was not over yet. It lasted for about half a month every year. Chu Fengsheng stopped his work and straightened his back when he heard that Chu Xing had gone to Chu Heng's house again which was not surprising. He put down his hoe and walked to the tree, picked up the teapot, took a few sips, quenching his thirst. Then he asked, "Did your sister-in-law ask you to go to the county again?" "This time, Sister-in-law asked me to help sell some medicinal herbs. Recently, everyone in the village knows about a few types of medicinal herbs. I think everyone can make a small fortune." Chu Xing smiled. Chu Fengsheng said, "You're doing well for your sister-in-law. She is sensible. You never go empty-handed when helping her and she doesn't force you if it's inconvenient." "Dad, I know. Sister-in-law is in a good mood now and she treats me well. I won't be so silly as not to understand even this." Chu Xing grinned. Chu Fengsheng shook his head. Seeing that his son was not immersed in the old impression of Ye, he felt relieved. "Dad, have some. This thing really can't be kept for long."
