Chapter 564: Big Brother Isn't Good Enough
At the same time, Ye Pozi mentioned that they had made a lot of fermented bean paste and pickled radishes and string beans for Chu Heng to take back.
Chu Heng accepted them without hesitation because these were all Ye Muyu's favorite foods.
At the same time, he woke up Ye Dejiang, who was sleeping and gave him five taels of silver, asking him to help make pickled vegetables at home on weekdays, so that Ye Pozi would have time to visit Ye Muyu.
Ye Dejiang was still groggy from sleep, and only woke up when he felt the coolness of the silver in his hand, instantly feeling as if he had unexpectedly received a windfall.
"Five taels? That's a lot, right? It's not easy to earn, I can't accept it." Although Ye Dejiang was lazy, he didn't like eating food that was given to him for free. Of course it was because he didn't like to hear gossip. After all, he preferred to eat less and avoid owing favors to others, rather than listening to others nagging.
Chu Heng remained calm and composed. "It's not hard to earn. mother also has requirements. You just need to make pickled vegetables when mother wants to come to my house. It's only four or five days a month, which is much more profitable than making pottery."
"Is this my reward?" Ye Dejiang was indeed tempted, but his desire wasn't very strong, after all, he was a true lazy person without any ambitions.
"Yes."
"But, eldest son said that earning money is quite difficult." Ye Dejiang wondered why Ye Zhao, a seventh-rank official, couldn't earn as much as Chu Heng, a scholar.
Just as he was puzzled, he heard Chu Heng shamelessly say, "It's okay. I do business and earning money isn't difficult. But Big Brother only receives a salary from the court, so naturally it's not much."
"Eldest son isn't good enough, huh? Even as a seventh-rank official, he can't compare to you, a scholar." Ye Dejiang muttered.
Chu Heng didn't respond directly but tacitly agreed with his statement.
"Alright, I'll accept it. I'll definitely take care of the things you entrusted to me." Ye Dejiang rarely agreed to do something for someone else. After all, compared to earning money, he preferred to devote himself to sleeping. Life is short, so he naturally wanted to spend all his time doing what he liked!
"I trust you, Father-in-law. I'll take my leave now." Without waiting for Ye Dejiang's response, Chu Heng turned and left.
In the afternoon, when Ye Muyu woke up from her rest.
Chu Heng was sitting by the bed, holding a book of 'The Great Learning' and reading it with great concentration, looking very serious.
From time to time, he furrowed his brows as if encountering some difficult problem.
Ye Muyu sat up, moved closer to take a look, and asked, "Are you facing a difficult problem?"
"Yeah." Chu Heng nodded.
Ye Muyu looked at the sky outside and got off the bed, putting on her outer garment. "What time is it now?"
"It's almost time for the afternoon."
"I slept too long, I'm sorry." Hearing that it was almost three in the afternoon, Ye Muyu felt a little guilty and quickly apologized.
Chu Heng reached out and pinched her cheek, full of affection for her pleasing expression. He smiled, "It's okay, it's not too late to be with you, no matter how long it takes."
Ye Muyu blushed slightly, straightened up, and Chu Heng couldn't pinch her cheek anymore. He cleared his throat and said, "You still need to go back to study, so let's go say goodbye to Mother."
"Okay." Chu Heng achieved his goal and quickly put away the book.
When Ye Pozi heard that Ye Muyu's family was about to leave, she wanted to keep them.
Ye Muyu smiled lightly, "Mother, you must have a lot of things to do, and besides, Big Brother can only stay for half a month. You should all get along well. Our house is close by, so you can come anytime in the future."
"Okay, then...I won't keep you." Ye Pozi was reluctant to part with her daughter, but she also knew she couldn't keep them, so she quickly went into the kitchen and called Ye Dejiang and Ye Zhaoming for help.
