Peasant Woman's Decreed Life as a Wife

Su Yan tied her waist and walked in.

“Sister-in-law, I’m here to help you. What do you need me to do?”

“Just light a fire. Burn some charcoal. When Mother and the others come back, we can warm our hands.”

“Is Xi’er asleep?”

“Yes, she’s asleep. Ziluo is learning about pottery from my husband.”

“Ziluo is young, curious, and eager to learn. She wants to learn everything. If Second Brother doesn’t mind her, let her have a look. If she delays his work, tell Ziluo to go back to her room and read. She even brought a few books over.”

Su Yan quickly waved her hand. “No, no. My husband has been making a set of cutlery for you for the past two days, so he’s letting Ziluo have a look.”

“A full set of cutlery?” Ye Muyu was pleasantly surprised.

“Yes, my husband said that since you like to cook. When he was drinking in the county, he heard a chef say that cooking not only depends on the taste but also on the size of the plate. Different dishes use different sizes of plates.” Although Su Yan did not understand this, she felt that her husband was right when she saw Ye Muyu’s good mood.

“I’ll go take a look later.” Ye Muyu was indeed satisfied.

Her younger brother had his own skills.

“Okay, Sister-in-law. I’ll cook some brown sugar egg soup for Mother and Brother-in-law first.” Su Yan nimbly took out eggs and brown sugar from the cupboard.

“Alright.”

Ye Muyu did not object as she knew that Chu Heng had a sweet tooth.

When Old Madam Ye and Chu Heng returned, they had carried two cabbages.

“I’ll cook fish with pickled cabbage tonight.” Old Madam Ye waved her hand and decided on the dinner.

She called Ye Dejiang along and prepared to make pickles and pickled cabbages

Su Yan brought the egg and brown sugar water to her.

Old Madam Ye jokingly scolded her for being wasteful.

Ye Muyu brought the desserts to Chu Heng and let him eat slowly while she went to Ye Zhao’s pottery room.

“Sister, why are you here?” Ye Zhao raised his head and saw that it was her, and his face instantly lit up.

He quickly got up and brought a stool for her to sit on. “It’s a little dirty here. Don’t come in. Sit behind the door.”

“Mother, I’m learning ceramics from Uncle.” Ziluo’s small hands were also a little dirty.

“Then do you know how to do it?” Ye Muyu was relieved to see that the two of them had a good relationship and that her daughter did not disturb her brother’s work. She lifted her skirt and sat down on the stool.

“I know how to do it a little bit. I’m working hard to make the clay round.” Zi Luo said shyly, her eyes pure and smiling.

Ye Zhao praised her. “Sister, Ziluo is actually very smart. She learns things quickly. If she wants to learn, I’ll teach her.”

“Ziluo, do you like it?” Ye Muyu asked her daughter gently.

“Mother, I think it’s very interesting to do this.” Ziluo quickly nodded.

“Since you like it, then learn it.”

“Sure, Sister. I’ve already told Ziluo that I’ll teach her about pottery after I’m done with this. She’ll write it down and learn it when we get home.”

Ye Muyu nodded. She did not give her daughter any pressure. How much she could learn was up to her.

“Mother, I will study hard.” Ziluo was very happy. She smiled and told Ye Muyu about the details of the pottery.

Ye Muyu did not disturb the two of them. She looked at the finished products at the side. What surprised her was that Ye Zhao had made quite a number of tableware himself. They were all in the initial stage. With a few words of advice, he could make many exquisite and beautiful pottery.

Ye Muyu and Chu Heng stayed with the Ye family for another two days before leaving.

They spent the next month visiting the remaining estates.
