“Hmph, we’re outside, yet you’re still deliberately acting so intimate. Do you want others to laugh at me?” Ye Muyu snorted. She was still a little angry after thinking about it, so she could not help but pinch his ear.

Chu Heng’s eyes narrowed, and he grunted. He suddenly reached out and pulled her into his arms.

“Ah Heng!” Ye Muyu cried out in a low voice. He was afraid that someone would find out. She quickly said, “Ah Heng, stop fooling around. We’re…”

Chu Heng reached out, grabbed her little hand, and bit it.

His actions were gentle yet domineering.

Ye Muyu blushed and tried to pull her hand back, but Chu Heng held her hand tightly. Her hand was thin and tender, forming a sharp contrast with Chu Heng’s wide hand.

“Where are the children…”

“He just went out.” Chu Heng smiled happily. He reached out and touched her face. His actions were intimate and natural. “Let’s go up the mountain to take a look later.”

“Sure,” Ye Muyu had wanted to tell him not to be too intimate outside, but Chu Heng ignored her. Chu Heng held her hand and refused to let go. She really could not stand the other party’s shameless actions.

She decided to change the topic.

Fortunately, there were only the two of them in the room. Otherwise, she would not know how to face the children in the future.

Outside the house, Du Heng finished talking to Xiang Ling’er before returning to the house.

He sat in the house and knocked on the table. The coachman immediately came forward. He thought for a moment and said, “Go and find out about the Xiang family.”

“Yes, Young Master.”

Seeing that he had no other instructions, the coachman retreated.

Du Heng could not help but recall what Ling’er said just now. “My reputation is already ruined. I don’t need to get married. My parents and brothers have agreed. Even if I really want to get married, I should ask my cousin-in-law.”

He did lure the girl to say something else, but the girl was very stubborn and refused to listen to anything else.

He had no excuse to let her stay by his side.

In the afternoon…

After lunch and a nap…

Chu Heng led Ye Muyu, followed by the two children, Du Heng, and Xiang Ling’er. They left the house and walked up the mountain.

Xiang Ling’er led the way, which made Du Heng grind his teeth again.

“Sister-in-law, this is our firewood mountain. Actually, a lot of the land in Black Water Village belongs to Landlord Wang. Many families in the village don’t have enough land and don’t have enough food to eat every year. They can only become tenants and rent the land of Landlord Wang’s family.”

“Although there aren’t many villagers, everyone has their own firewood mountain. Usually, they collect firewood from their own firewood mountain. Whoever has wild animals on their firewood mountain will own it.”

“You guys, this is the fungus.” Before they reached their own firewood mountain, Xiang Ling’er was a little excited when she saw the wood ears on the ground. She quickly bent down to pick up a few and placed them in front of Ye Muyu.

Ye Muyu lowered her head and took a few glances. Then, she reached out to touch it and smiled. “Yes, it’s indeed the wood ear.”

“If it’s dried properly, the quality of the dried wood war won’t be affected. It can even be sold all year round, especially in winter. Whether it’s cold or hot dishes, it’s a good ingredient,” Ye Muyu said with a smile.

When Xiang Ling ‘er heard this, the smile on her face widened, and her footsteps became lighter.

“Cousin-in-law, that’s great.”

“Let’s go to your family’s firewood mountain to take a look.” Ye Muyu could not help but smile when she saw that she was so happy. She then continued walking with her.
