Peasant Woman's Decreed Life as a Wife

Chapter 877: Eating Wine

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

” No, no. That Old Master Xu does all kinds of business. He’s a merchant and would sometimes help his brothers. He ordered the furniture to celebrate his brother’s birthday.”

“But, since they have a lot of assets, why would they want to buy furniture from you?”

“And you’ve done so much. The wood on your firewood mountain is almost gone, right? You even bought a lot of wood with your own money. I think the other party should at least give you a deposit first.” Chu Lin still didn’t agree. “You can deliver the goods later.”

“Old Master Xu is in a hurry. He told me to finish it before spring. When he comes to the village to collect the goods, he will settle all the accounts.”

“He already said that he knows that my brother is a high scholar. How would he dare to deceive me?” When Chu Cai mentioned Chu Heng, he felt full of confidence.

Chu Lin could not say anything to refute this time. He only said, “Alright then. You should pay more attention.”

The two brothers left after speaking.

Ye Muyu had just come out from the back when someone grabbed her wrist. She was shocked. She turned her head and saw that it was Chu Heng. She then recovered and patted his shoulder. “You scared me.”

“What are you standing here for?” Chu Heng frowned and reached out to hold her slightly cold hand tightly. “Your hand is so cold, yet you’re still standing there like a fool.”

“I overheard Eldest Brother and Second Brother talking,” Ye Muyu explained softly and followed him to the front yard.

“I also think that Second Brother’s business is much. Why don’t we send someone to investigate Old Master Xu? We can’t let him really be cheated.”

“I’ll ask Lu Chuan to ask around,” Chu Heng replied.

“Did you drink a lot just now?” Chu Heng sniffed and stared at her lips. In the next moment, his eyes narrowed.

Ye Muyu instantly thought of the last time he used alcohol as an excuse to torment her. She quickly covered her mouth and shook her head. “No, that was sweet tea. There wasn’t much alcohol in it.”

“But there’s still alcohol.” Chu Heng took advantage of the loophole in her words and said meaningfully.

Ye Muyu looked at him guiltily. “I said it wrong. Just pretend you didn’t hear me.”

She looked at the other party with a dry expression. It was obvious that he did not believe her at all.

Ye Muyu wanted to cry but no tears came out. Chu Heng only whispered to her that they were going home. He did not care about how aggrieved she looked and took her hand to inform Madam Liu before going back to continue tidying up the house.

They would come back at night.

Ye Muyu looked at the house that was getting closer and closer. She sighed in her heart and rubbed her face, trying to calm herself down.

“Young Master, Doctor Lu is back.” Lu Chuan came to look for him as soon as they returned to the residence.

Ye Muyu’s eyes lit up. Did this mean that Chu Heng was busy?

“Is it urgent?” Chu Heng asked.

“It’s urgent. He said it’s about the Eldest Young Master of the Luo family.”

Ye Muyu smiled sincerely when she heard that. She pursed her lips and laughed secretly, celebrating that she had escaped a disaster.

Chu Heng saw it clearly from the corner of his eye. He could not help but laugh. He sighed at the silly girl in his heart. He reached out and patted her head. “Ah Yu, go back to your room and rest. I’ll be back in a while.”

Chu Heng followed Lu Chuan and went to Lu Sangqi’s house in the village.

Ye Muyu watched the two of them leave, then lifted her skirt and walked into the courtyard.

Ziluo and Chu Jin were both playing in the old house. With Han Zhuang accompanying them, she was very relieved.

“Madam, you’re back? We’ll be done cleaning the house in two hours.” Su Mei came out to greet her, and after greeting her, she reported back in a well-behaved manner.

“Is there hot water in the kitchen? I want to rinse my mouth.”
