Chapter 255: Groundless Worries
"I estimate that in the areas around Nanchang County only the remote mountain villages like yours wouldn't know about this."
"Oh, and that kudzu root, it's also a dish."
Inside the house, the family members were chatting happily.
Zhang and Wang went to the kitchen to prepare the meal.
Ye Muyu and Ye Pozi sat in the side room.
Chu Ziluo, Ye Mengjie, and Ye Hai, the three children sat on the bed enjoying the pastries.
The pastries were a gift from Xie Yu, the third young master of the Xie family.
In addition to the pastries, there were various kinds of rice dumplings, all as gifts.
Chu Heng had brought the gifts during the second round of the competition and the Xie family's response had arrived even earlier.
Ye Muyu was a bit surprised when she received it. After all, their relationship with Xie Yu was just an ordinary business partnership. In terms of etiquette for big families, ordinary relationships usually didn't involve sending gifts.
Of course, it all depended on the mood of the host.
Obviously, Xie Yu was in a good mood and the gifts he sent to the Chu family were quite generous.
Apart from two expensive-looking pieces of silk, there were various pastries, even different kinds of soft and fragrant cakes.
Tea, wine, dumplings, and more were all of the finest quality.
Altogether, the value must have been over ten taels.
At least, even for Ye Muyu, it was a substantial gift.
"My dear, sister-in-law." Ye Muyu called out to them and asked, "Why didn't my little brother come?"
"This is a big happy event. Your younger sister-in-law is pregnant," Ye Pozi smiled so happily that her mouth couldn't close. Because of the poor conditions in Ye Zhaoming's family, he married late and now at the age of eighteen, after being married for a year, he married a girl from the Su family who was even poorer. The girl who married into the Ye family was thin and bony before she arrived. After a year of care, she barely had the physique to get pregnant.
Ye Pozi didn't want to risk losing both mother and child, so she had to wait.
"Pregnant?" Ye Muyu was surprised but also felt that it was only natural. She smiled and said, "That's great. Little Zhaoming will have descendants too."
"Mother, sister-in-law, have some tea." Ye Muyu poured tea for the two of them.
Han Shi held the teacup and remained silent as if she hadn't heard Ye Muyu and Ye Pozi talking. She seemed like an invisible person.
Seeing that her character was becoming more introverted and less talkative, Ye Muyu didn't force her.
She continued to chat with Ye Pozi.
Ye Pozi talked about Su Shi's pregnancy, "By the way, Lan'er, what do you think about sending our pickled vegetables directly to the Fragrant Tower in the county?"
"I also don't want to trouble the servants of your family to bring it over by carriage all the time. I don't know when they will arrive, and sometimes when your people arrive, I haven't even seen them in the fields."
"But we don't have a donkey cart at home. How do you plan to take the pickled vegetables to the county?" Ye Muyu purely thought that carrying them over would be too tiring for Ye Pozi, so she usually let Zhang Shu drive the donkey cart and go to collect pickled vegetables from two households regularly.
"I'll take the village's ox cart." Ye Pozi said eagerly.
Ye Muyu felt that her emotions were off and took a sip of tea before asking calmly, "Mother, what do you want to do? Why can't you tell me?"
"Second sister, this has nothing to do with you. It's me. I just think it's too troublesome, second sister. Sister-in-law also has a lot of strength and I heard that people in the county have started selling pickled vegetables, and it's selling well."
"If we don't send our pickled vegetables earlier, when we receive others, ours will be left unsold." Han Shi anxiously said, her eyes full of worry and concern, revealing her character of groundless worries.
