Chapter 43: Encountering Madam Wang

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Because the village was not far from the county town, there were usually some private shops open. There were not many, but there were some daily necessities.

For example, salt, pork, eggs, and simple cloth.

There were not many types of cloth, and the colors were not nice. Even so, most of the time, the villagers did not want to go to the county, so they were willing to buy them here.

Ye Muyu went to the meat stall first and bought five catties of meat.

Then, she went to the grocery store and bought a catty of tea leaves.

The grocery store had everything. Ye Muyu even bought some sauce, vinegar, and other seasonings.

After picking out the kitchen supplies, Ye Muyu walked to the wooden cabinet with the shoes and asked, “Ziluo, which pair do you like?”

“Mother, I don’t need to buy shoes. I can make them myself.” Chu Ziluo quickly waved her hand.

Speaking of which, it was very difficult to sell shoes and other finished products in the grocery store.

Most of the villagers made their own shoes and clothes. It was reasonable to buy cloth, but it was somewhat unreasonable to buy shoes.

However, Ye Muyu did not mind. She would do it, but she did not have the time to do it. She had lived in an era where efficiency was the most important. She really could not accept doing something that wasted time and did not yield much.

However, she had a strong ability to adapt. In the end, she chose to do whatever was comfortable for her.

“This blue one looks good.” Ye Muyu chose the size for Chu Ziluo and paid for it after she tried it on.

“Scholar wife, come again next time.” The shop owner, Aunt Wu, said with a smile.

Ye Muyu nodded with a smile. “Aunt Wu is fair in business. I’ll have to trouble you in the future.”

“What’s the trouble? In the future, if your family lacks anything, just tell my child. I’ll send it to you in a snap.” Aunt Wu saw that Ye Muyu was praising her, which meant that she wanted to befriend her. She was not stupid and quickly accepted this olive branch. Not everyone had the chance to befriend a scholar’s wife.

As for the women in the village who gossiped about Madam Ye, Madam Wu thought that they were all envious of their good lives.

In the entire village, Madam Ye had the best life.

Leaving the grocery store, Ye Muyu met many people who greeted her along the way.

They were all ordinary villagers who did not usually interact with each other. She did not say much and only responded.

“Sister-in-law, where are you going to buy so many things?”

Madam Ye did not expect to meet the Madam Wang on the way.

“Second Sister-in-law. I just bought some oil, salt, sauce, and vinegar that we need at home.” Ye Muyu replied casually.

“The two children are going to study at their grandparents’ place. They have to trouble their grandparents, so I bought some tea leaves for you.”

“Ah, are they really going?” Madam Wang seemed surprised that Ye Muyu had told her about this in public. She looked around and heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that no one was paying attention.

After she finished speaking, she stammered, “Actually, Third Brother is thinking too much. Ziluo is still far from getting married, and my daughter hasn’t gone to the old residence to learn too.”

After Madam Wang said this, she obviously lowered her voice.

‘Well, Third Sister-in -law, you can continue on your day. I have to work too.”

Madam Wang obviously did not want to say more as she realized that her words were not quite right.

Ye Muyu nodded and left with Chu Ziluo.

“Mother, Second Aunt said that Sister Qingyu doesn’t need to go, so why should I go?” Chu Ziluo asked softly. She felt that her mother had been so gentle since yesterday. She did not want to go to her grandmother’s house. She wanted to stay at home..
