Chapter 470: Talent Is Not Enough, Effort Makes Up

"The silver coins are all here, along with the account book. I've written everything down but my handwriting is a bit ugly." Chu Xing said, feeling slightly embarrassed towards the end.

Ye Muyu thought he was just being modest.

She said, "It's okay, as long as it's readable. You haven't had time to practice..."

But when she saw the messy handwriting in the large account book, Ye Muyu's comforting words instantly stuck in her throat. She wanted to laugh but felt embarrassed because the handwriting was indeed ugly.

"Coincidentally, a few days ago, my husband made a few brushes and I also made some leftover ink. If you don't mind..." Ye Muyu's words were not finished.

Chu Xing quickly waved his hand. "No, no, I don't want it. Thank you, Sister-in-law."

"I... I still have the pens you gave me last time, and I bought ink, but I haven't used it yet." As he spoke, his voice became softer and softer, and his face became embarrassed and flushed.

At that moment, laughter echoed in the courtyard.

Then, Qian entered the hall and explained to Ye Muyu, "This child, he runs around all day and at night he hides in his room counting silver coins. He sleeps while hugging the coins, as if he could hatch them like chicks."

"As for recognizing characters, he... if he can write without mistakes, that would already be good enough." As his biological mother, Qian didn't hesitate to expose his weakness. Chu Xing was already feeling a little embarrassed, but being directly exposed by his mother regarding his lack of talent in writing characters made him even more embarrassed.

"Mother, you're exaggerating. I also practice reading and writing characters, but it's just that my handwriting always goes crooked. As soon as I hold a pen, I feel like my hand isn't listening to me." Chu Xing felt a bit aggrieved as he spoke. During his free time outside, he also practiced with a bamboo stick but the results didn't seem to be very good.

"It's okay, beginners are like this. Ah Xing just practice more." Ye Muyu smiled and encouraged him.

Chu Xing breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she wasn't making fun of him.

Then, he remembered the main purpose of his visit. "Mother, why are you here?"

"I just came over to see if you needed any help." Qian replied.

"It seems you don't need any help at all. This boy of yours didn't even mention buying some big crabs from Green Water County." Qian scolded Chu Xing with disdain.

Chu Xing opened his mouth to explain.

But Qian had already enthusiastically started talking to Ye Muyu.

She said, "Muyu, I heard that the Song family made two trips to Third Sister-in-law's place today. Have you heard about it?"

Chu Xing suddenly felt that his own mother had criticized him just now because he had taken up Sister-in-law's speaking time. He grinned silly.

Upon hearing Qian's words, Ye Muyu asked in response, "Auntie Qian, I heard about it, but I think it's nothing serious. Maybe they're just discussing the postponement of the marriage."

"You're right. Second Sister-in-law didn't go either, so it's probably nothing major." Qian asked casually and naturally wouldn't dwell on this matter.

After asking if the silver coins had been received, she let Chu Xing handle his 'mysterious' account book and read out the expenses to Ye Muyu.

After finishing these tasks, it was already getting late.

Chu Xing gave Ye Muyu and Chu Ziluo each a pearl.

Chu Ziluo's pearl was set in the fan, adding a touch of brilliance to the simple and unadorned fan.

Ye Muyu's pearl was not decorated and was placed in her palm. She could wait to find a suitable piece of jewelry in the future to decorate it with the pearl.

Qian took the lead and sat on the mule cart. Chu Xing drove the mule cart steadily back home.
