“Let’s go in. What do you want to eat for lunch?”

Ye Muyu entered the courtyard and called for Chu Ziluo to bring two wooden sifts over.

“Mother, my brother and I have been eating quite well these past few days. We have eaten the meat you send over every time.” Chu Ziluo obediently helped her.

“Mother, what fruit is this?”

Chu Ziluo took out a Wild Fan Fruit and looked at it.

“This is a kind of… medicinal herb.” Ye Muyu separated the two Wild Fan Flowers and Wild Fan Fruits and placed them in different sifters. She did not know how to pack the herbs and planned to ask Chu Jin to send them to the medicine shop tomorrow.

Doctor Lu’s medicine shop in the village was too small. She was afraid that he would not accept these herbs. It was more suitable to take them to the big medicine shop in the city. Moreover, the Lu family had land in the village. She saw that there were many Wild Fan Flowers on the mountain. Perhaps he had some in his own family’s land too.

There was no need to buy it.

“Medicinal herbs? Can you sell them for money?” Chu Ziluo asked excitedly.

Ye Muyu nodded. “It should be possible. We’ll only know when we ask tomorrow.”

“It’s getting late. I’ll go make lunch.”

“Mother, I’ll help you light the fire.” Chu Ziluo followed behind her and ran into the kitchen. Ye Muyu refused, but she did not listen and insisted on helping. “Mother, you don’t have to worry about me.”

“Oh right, Mother, have you taken your medicine?” Chu Ziluo had been worried that Ye Muyu had not taken her medicine. Ever since Ye Muyu had been gentle to her, the child had grown to rely on her endlessly.

“I ate it. Don’t worry.” Ye Muyu smiled. “Mother will recover soon.”

“Oh, then Mother, if you have any heavy work, just look for me. It’s more important for you to take care of your body,” Chu Ziluo said nervously.

“Mother is fine. There is no heavy work at home.”

There were still eggs and meat at home.

However, Ye Muyu had just bought a fish in the morning and was planning to make fish soup.

Ye Muyu put the fish into the pot and boiled water after frying it until it was brown.

“Master, are you there?” Ye Muyu heard a voice when she was cutting cabbage.

Hearing the sound, she put down the knife and walked out of the kitchen.

In the courtyard, there was a woman wearing a navy blue coarse cloth. The woman’s face was slightly yellow, her skin was dark, and her hands and face were full of wrinkles. She had a strong figure, and it was obvious that she was used to doing rough work.

Ye Muyu’s figure was soft and beautiful, especially after she fell sick. Coupled with the fact that she had not seen the sun for many years, her skin was fair and her hands which had not done much work were exceptionally tender.

The two of them formed a stark contrast.

A hint of envy flashed across the woman’s eyes, but it was still noticed by Ye Muyu.

“What’s the matter?” Ye Muyu sized her up before speaking slowly.

The woman hurriedly said, “It’s like this. It’s almost time to make lunch. I came over to ask if the vegetables in the corner are all for us?”

“There is also the pot…’

“Oh, those ingredients are for you. You can arrange them as you please.”

“As for the pot, I don’t have an extra stove at home, so I can only provide you with a small stove. But don’t worry, I have a small pot at home.”

Ye Muyu brought Madam Du to the corner of the shed.

Other than the vegetables, there was also a small piece of meat and an unlit stove beside it.

Ye Muyu entered the shed. The shed was originally used to raise livestock, but it had not been used since Madam Ye moved in. There were some dried straws on the ground, but it did not smell bad. Because there was no wall to seal the front, it was bright and did not even smell moldy. Instead, it smelled like sunlight..
