PWDLAW Chapter 416: Not Quite Right

 Chapter 416: Not Quite Right

Upon hearing this, Ye Muyu was not surprised by the actions of Chu Lin and Chu Xueqin. As for the second and fourth branches, she furrowed her brows slightly. The reactions of both families made her realize that her actions in informing the clan members to buy seedlings were somewhat inappropriate.


Originally, she had good intentions, thinking that after she shared the recipe for Sichuan-style fish slices with the Xie family, they would only agree that the Sichuan pepper would be provided by their own people in specific quantities. With this agreement in place, it was equivalent to cooperating with the Xie family and providing materials.


It was also a good business opportunity.


Just like selling pickled vegetables.


The quantity of pickled vegetables was already saturated and she had not distributed them to other members of the clan from the beginning. It would be inappropriate to divide the income between the main and second branches now.


Now, Sichuan pepper could open up multiple business opportunities for the entire clan.


Now it seemed that the majority were unwilling to invest early and she had indeed not considered it thoroughly.


Ye Muyu first put this matter aside and quickly understood Chu An's attitude. It seemed that he wanted to reconcile.


Actually, the main branch was the family of the clan leader and Chu An would eventually inherit the position of clan leader.


It wasn't a bad thing to be on good terms with them.


But Cao Shi had crossed her bottom line and her decision not to associate with them had not changed.


However, maintaining a tense relationship with the main branch all along was also inappropriate.


Now that Chu An was showing weakness using this matter, it was not good for her to continue to act as if she hadn't noticed. She thought that she might need to visit the main branch in the evening when Chu Heng returned.


"You can go now, everything's fine." Ye Muyu said.


Luchuan went to find something to do on his own.


Ye Muyu then went into the kitchen to prepare lunch.

After returning, Chu Jin went straight to the study.


He rummaged through several books and kept reading.


Chu Ziluo heard the noise and followed curiously into the study. She saw Chu Jin sitting cross-legged on the couch with several miscellaneous books on his legs.


She walked over, picked up one of the books, and asked curiously, "Little brother what are you doing?"


"Brother Chong Jin is too amazing. He asked me several questions today and I couldn't answer any of them." Chu Jin, being impatient, always wanted to find answers when he encountered things he didn't understand.


"Really? Is little brother also attending classes at the school?" Chu Ziluo asked.


Chu Jin shook his head, "No, Brother Chong Jin recites Buddhist scriptures every day and also has to complete some assigned tasks. He reads books alone in his room."


"I just go to talk to him after class."


"Why does he still have to recite Buddhist scriptures?" Chu Ziluo muttered softly, curious.


Chu Jin said, "Brother Chong Jin said that until he reaches adulthood, he is still a lay disciple. Even at home, he cannot disregard Buddhism. These tasks are his usual habits."


"Oh."


After Chu Ziluo understood, she stopped focusing on this issue and began helping Chu Jin find answers in the books.


Ye Muyu prepared lunch with Hu Shi.


They had potato rice for lunch.


They steamed some stuffed bitter gourds, cutting the bitter gourds into segments and stuffing them with minced meat in the middle.


A stir-fried dish of green beans, as it was the season for them was tender and delicious. They were stir-fried with lard, giving them a unique flavor.


Garlic-flavored smashed cucumbers, a refreshing cold dish.


Stewed chicken, Ye Muyu usually couldn't finish it all, but Chu Heng bought a chicken every day.


She could only take out all the chicken meat and make a braised chicken dish, pouring the sauce over the rice, which was very appetizing.


After lunch.


Chu Jin and Chu Ziluo didn't leave, they looked at Ye Muyu, obviously wanting to say something.


"What's the matter?" Ye Muyu rinsed her mouth with tea and then asked the two children.
