At the same time, Old Madam Ye told Chu Heng that she had made a lot of bean paste, pickled carrots, and cowpeas at home and asked him to bring them back.

Chu Heng accepted them without hesitation because they were all Ye Muyu’s favorite food.

At the same time, he woke up Ye Dejiang and gave him five taels of silver. He told him to help the family make pickled cabbages so Old Madam Ye would have more time to visit Ye Muyu,

Ye Dejiang was in a daze. He only woke up when he felt the coldness of the silver in his hand. He instantly felt as if he had received a windfall.

“Five taels? So many? It’s hard to earn, right? No, no, I don’t want it.” Although Ye Dejiang was lazy, he did not like to accept gifts for no reason. Of course, it was because he did not like to hear people gossip. After all, he would rather eat less than owe a favor and be judged by others.

Chu Heng was calm and collected. “It’s not hard to earn. I also have some requests. I just need Father-in-law to make time to make pickled cabbages when Mother-in-law goes to my house. It’s only four or five days in a month. This is much more profitable than making pottery.”

“Is this my reward?” Ye Dejiang was indeed tempted, but not too strongly. After all, he was a lazy person with no ambition.

“Yes.”

“But, my son said that silver is quite hard to earn.” Ye Dejiang thought to himself, Ye Hao has already become a seventh-rank official, why could he not earn as much as an Elementary Scholar?

Just as he was feeling puzzled, he heard Chu Heng shamelessly say, “It’s alright. I’ve started a business. It’s not difficult to earn money. However, Big Brother is only receiving a salary from the imperial court. Naturally, it’s not much.

ye DeJ1ang stammered, “Ye Hao IS not good enougn tnen. A seventn rank official can’t even compare to a scholar like you.”

Chu Heng did not reply, but he obviously agreed with his statement.

“Alright, I’ll accept it. I’ll definitely do what you asked me to do.” It was hard for Ye Dejiang to agree to something. After all, he was more interested in sleeping than earning money. Life was so short, so he naturally had to do what he liked!

“I trust Father-in-law. I’ll be leaving first.” Without waiting for Ye Dejiang’s reply, Chu Heng turned around and left.

In the afternoon, when Ye Muyu woke up from her nap.

Chu Heng sat on the edge of the bed, reading a book in his hand. He looked very focused and serious.

He frowned from time to time as if he had encountered a difficult problem. Ye Muyu sat up and moved over to take a look. “Did you encounter a problem?”

“Yes.” Chu Heng nodded.

“What time is it?” Ye Muyu looked at the sky outside. She got off the bed and put on her outer clothes.

“It’s almost evening.”

“I slept for 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 face. His eyes were filled with her frowning and fawning appearance. The corners of his mouth curled into a smile. “It’s okay. It’s never too late to be with you.”

Ye Muyu blushed and stood up straight. Chu Heng couldn’t pinch her face anymore. He coughed lightly and said,” You still have to go back to study. Let’s go say goodbye to Mother.”

“Alright.” Having achieved his goal, Chu Heng quickly put away the book.

When Old Madam Ye heard that Ye Muyu’s family was leaving, she wanted to ask them to stay.

Ye Muyu smiled faintly. “Mother, you must have a lot of things to do. Besides, Big Brother can only stay for half a month. You guys should spend more time together. Our house is close. You can come whenever you want in the future.”

“Alright, then… Then I won’t keep you.” Old Madam Ye could not bear to part with her daughter, but she knew that she could not keep her, so she quickly went into the kitchen and called Ye Dejiang and Ye Zhao for help..
