PWDLAW Chapter 467: Neither Greedy Nor Arrogant

 Chapter 467: Neither Greedy Nor Arrogant

"Whether someone is formidable or not, Mother doesn't know. But Mother knows that the more prosperous a place is, the more intelligent people there are. You must not underestimate anyone and always be cautious. Have a guard against harming others but don't let your guard down against others. Understand?" 


"Mother, I understand. It's like what Uncle Xing said, the traveling merchants from the capital bought a Zhuge Suo and made new ones after returning." Chu Xing was deeply impressed by this. Zhuge Suo were becoming increasingly difficult to sell. Nowadays, selling ten of them a day was considered good. He only needed to draw one Zhuge Suo a day which led to a rapid decline in his savings.


"Mother, I also understand because I noticed that your attitude towards people in the village is different from your attitude towards people in the county."


"How is it different?" Ye Muyu praised Chu Jin first and then gently asked Ziluo.


She was slightly surprised by this child's keen observation.


"In the village, Mother, you speak with confidence and act more casually."


"But towards the fathers' classmates in the county, Mother is more distant, speaks very tactfully and never offends anyone." Chu Ziluo scratched her head. She felt that her mother was perfect and she liked it but she always felt something was off.


After listening to her lengthy explanation, Ye Muyu was no longer worried about this child. She smiled and rubbed her head. "Ziluo, from now on, you will stay by my side, observe more and speak less, understand?"


"Okay." Ziluo smiled happily. She had no complaints about being able to stay by her mother's side regularly.


"Let's eat quickly. Little Jin is almost finished." Ye Muyu served them dishes, and then slowly drank the chicken soup herself.


As Chong Jin had already left the school, Chu Jin didn't go to school early in the afternoon but stayed at home instead. He first finished drawing Zhuge Suo before doing other things.


After the customary lunch break, Ye Muyu woke up and together with Zhang Shu and Hu Shi, pounded ink.


Zhang Shu was a man after all, so he had more strength. His pounding effect was better than Ye Muyu and Hu Shi's.


Hu Shi had originally been worried that her husband wouldn't be able to adapt to this work because he had hurt his hand yesterday. However, she was surprised to see that he had hurt his hand much less today. Basically, whenever he was about to hurt his hand, he would release the ink, although this affected the pounding effect. But Ye Muyu naturally prioritized people's well-being. These ink blocks were just experimental products for now. When they produced the best and most distinctive oil soot ink, they could be mass-produced.


"Be careful. Madam said that the more proficient you become at pounding, the less likely you are to injure your hands. I know you're honest and just want to live a stable life. Isn't this physical work suitable for your character?" Hu Shi encouraged Zhang Shu softly.


Zhang Shu smiled innocently. "I also think so. I'm not good with words but I have strength. This work is very suitable for me. I'll adapt in a few more days and slowly find the rhythm."


"Madam has allowed us to live a stable life. We should repay her."


"I see that Madam and Master both attach great importance to ink making."


"The better I do, the more relaxed they will be."


Hu Shi handed him a handkerchief to wipe his sweat. "As long as you understand. Our current life is something we've picked up. Neither greedy nor arrogant."


"Bang, bang, bang—"


There was a knock on the courtyard door while Ye Muyu was flipping the ink blocks.


Hearing the sound, she looked towards the door.


Chu Ziluo was learning to make ink in the courtyard. She was the first to run to the door when she heard the sound.


She opened the door and saw Chu Xing standing outside. Then she opened the door.
