Peasant Woman's Decreed Life as a Wife

As they spoke, Madam Wang also came over.

When they met on the way, Madam Liu saw that Madam Wang was still wearing ordinary work clothes. She took a few glances and wanted to say a few words to her, but then she thought about it and let it go.

In any case, everyone in the village knew that the second son and his wife worked the hardest and were simple and thrifty.

She had never seen them spend money to buy expensive Madam clothes. Madam Liu saw that Madam Zhang and Madam Ye were dressed well, but after seeing that Madam Wang did not mind, she didn’t say anything.

It was the worst thing to compare randomly.

When the four of them arrived at the first branch’s house.

They saw that many people from the other houses had come.

There were many people who were interested in the female arts competition.

Madam Liu walked in and greeted Madam Cao and the other sisters-in-law with a smile.

There were quite a few people sitting in the room. After Madam Liu greeted them, she sat to the side.

The three daughters-in-law naturally followed suit.

However, when Ye Muyu walked in and was about to find a place to sit down, Madam Zheng called out to her as she had saved a seat for Ye Muyu.

Madam Zheng was the wife of Chu An. Chu An had helped her a lot when they were repairing the wall. Ye Muyu knew his personality and knew that he was not bad. Seeing that Madam Zheng had arranged a seat for her, it was enough to show that she valued Chu Heng and acknowledged Ye Muyu as the wife of a scholar.

Ye Muyu did not intend to decline. She did not need to retreat. As for Madam Cao’s plan, she wanted to hear it.

“Thank you, Madam Zheng, I won’t stand on ceremony then.” Ye Muyu’s seat was also suitable as it was right next to Madam Liu.

Other than a few elders, her position was considered the highest. The only one on the same level as her was Madam Zheng herself.

Although some of the wives were unhappy, they did not dare to say anything after looking at Ye Muyu.

When everyone arrived, Madam Zheng smiled and said, “We are all mothers. There are four categories in this competition. Cooking, needlework, tea art, and paper-cutting. ”

“Other families will definitely find opportunities to teach these four things to girls of the right age.”

“Therefore, Mother and I plan to discuss with you whether these girls plan to find someone to learn these skills from, or we choose those that the clan is good at and teach them together. As for how they do it in the end, it will depend on themselves.”

Madam Zheng finished speaking in one breath and looked at everyone’s reaction.

Although she was inclined to build a girls’ school like the boys’ school, this was the most suitable for the clan and could take care of every family.

However, she could not make the decision herself.

Thus, after saying this, she sat down and did not speak anymore.

The women were discussing animatedly.

“Third Sister-in-law, what do you think?” Madam Zhang asked Ye Muyu subconsciously.

Ye Muyu did not say anything. She asked Madam Liu, “Mother, what do you think? My Ziluo is still young and is only good at cooking, so I won’t force her. I heard that the county will hold the female art competition in the future too. We can talk about it in two years.”

She did not have high expectations for her daughter.

Madam Zhang was surprised and subconsciously reminded, “It will be held next year as well, but the rewards will be different each time. I’m afraid it will be difficult for next year’s reward to compare to this year’s reward of a piece of land. Third Sister-in-law, your cooking skills are good, so I’m sure Ziluo’s cooking skills will get a good ranking.”

In fact, the top ten would get 60 sq meters of land. There were other rewards for those who ranked higher.

As for those ranked after the tenth place, there were only some women’s headwear and other small things.

Ye Muyu shook her head gently. “Ziluo’s cooking skills are average. There are many girls in the clan who are better than Ziluo. I don’t mind whether she gets a ranking or not..”
