PWDLAW Chapter 451: Hitting Hands

 Chapter 451: Hitting Hands

At this moment, Ye Muyu didn't insist any further. She carefully washed her hands, and Chu Ziluo ran over to apply ointment to her swollen hand back.


Hu Shi was also washing her hands nearby and couldn't help but speak up, "Madam, you shouldn't do this kind of work in the future. This is something for men to do. Your health isn't good, and now you've hit your hands. Look, they're all swollen."


"And in the future, Madam, you should keep your nails long. It's difficult to clean ink paste that gets into your fingers." Hu Shi chattered on, her attitude always very respectful. She didn't dare to insist but just mentioned some potential negative consequences.


Actually, Ye Muyu had already expected to hit her hands while making ink paste. After all, this task required skilled craftsmen to avoid such a situation.


"It's okay, the doctor also advised me to move around more for my health." Ye Muyu smiled lightly.


Chu Ziluo listened to Hu Shi's words with a worried expression on her face. She applied the medicinal ointment to Ye Muyu's back hand very carefully. "Mother, does it hurt?"


"No, it doesn't." Ye Muyu shook her head gently to reassure her.


Clearly failing to convince her, Chu Ziluo's eyes turned red. "Your hands are all swollen. It must hurt."


"In the future, I'll learn. I'll help Mother with this work." Chu Ziluo said earnestly.


Nenya also chimed in, "Madam, I'll assist Miss."


Hu Shi, upon hearing this, had just finished washing her hands. To avoid getting ink on the children's clothes, she stopped touching Nenya and hurriedly went to empty the basin of dirty water.


"You, child, stop causing trouble here."


"This kind of work should be left to your father and brother. It's not suitable for girls to do heavy work. If you become too strong, you'll be disliked." Hu Shi quietly advised Nenya.


Nenya nodded quickly but didn't dare to say anything more. After all, she would listen to whatever the young lady said.


Ye Muyu did hear Hu Shi's words and responded, "Hu Shi, girls don't necessarily have to be weak. On the contrary, they need to be healthy. Otherwise, if they are bullied in their husband's family in the future and can't control even the servants, it's no good."


"As for being disliked, as long as we as parents are tough and the children are tough, who dares to bully us?"


Ye Muyu disagreed with the notion that women were inherently weak. If they had the support of their natal families, why should they conform to the expectation of being demure and virtuous?


"Madam is right. I was thinking wrong." Hu Shi breathed a sigh of relief, feeling reassured. If the young lady had a strong wife to protect her, Nenya wouldn't suffer.


As for what she said earlier, it was just in line with the requirements of this era for women but she didn't necessarily agree with it in her heart.


Ye Muyu chuckled lightly. Upon reflection, her earlier words were unnecessary.


"Alright, Ziluo, Mother's hands are better now. Remember how you always felt your strength was too small before and you couldn't lift the water bucket? Starting today, you'll learn some martial arts with Luchuan."


This idea had actually been on Ye Muyu's mind for a while but she hadn't acted on it because she hadn't encountered any incidents where her family members were bullied. She always thought there was no rush.


But after today's fight between Mrs. Xu and Hu Shi, as reported by Luchuan, Ye Muyu realized that they would inevitably encounter unreasonable people in the future and only by having strong fists could they avoid being taken advantage of.
