At least, Chu Xing would have told Chu Heng that they were going to repair the wall. However, what surprised her was that Chu Heng would actually come back, and it was so late at night.
âWait, how did you get in?â Ye Muyu suddenly sat up and frowned. She wanted to go out and check the situation outside the wall.
âYou donât have to go,â Chu Heng coughed lightly and said, âI stepped on the mule cart and jumped over the wall.â
âAfter you put the pieces of broken porcelain, even if one were on a mule cart, it would be impossible for one to come over.â
Chu Hengâs words finally put Ye Muyu at ease.
âThen⦠Sleep?â Ye Muyu probed.
Chu Heng glanced at her and only hummed coldly after a while.
Ye Muyu lay on the bed, pulling the blanket tightly. She lay flat and closed her eyes. After a while, she did not hear any movement beside her.
She could not help but open her eyes to take a look.
She saw Chu Heng under the moonlight. She did not know if he was looking at her or pretending to be asleep.
She closed her eyes abruptly and decided not to bother about it anymore. She thought that she would not be able to sleep, but perhaps it was because she was too tired during the day, when she woke up, it was already the next day.
The hazy sunlight shone in.
Ye Muyu touched her forehead and opened her eyes. She remembered what happened last night and quickly sat up.
âChu Heng?â she shouted.
No one responded.
Ye Muyu hurriedly put on her shoes and got out of bed. It was just a little bright outside, and there was no one in the courtyard. There was no movement in the other rooms either.
âChu Heng?â Ye Muyu searched the entire house but did not see anyone. Only then did she confirm that he had already left.
She walked to the entrance of the courtyard and looked at the obvious footprints of a mule. Only then did she confirm that Chu Heng had really come back.
âYou left quite quickly.â Ye Muyu smiled. âThen I donât have to send you letters anymore. With Ah Xing around, how can there be anything you donât know?â
Ye Muyu raised her eyebrows. Although she felt that Chu Heng had a bad personality and a tough temper, at least he took care of his family and did not ignore everything, so she forgave him.
In the morning, Ye Muyu had just finished cooking breakfast.
Chu An and the others came over.
âSister-in-law, weâre here to work.â
âEldest Brother, Eldest Cousin, Maogen, Yongliang, why are you so early?â Ye Muyu quickly came out to welcome them. âHave you eaten? I just finished making breakfast. Do you want to eat a little before you start working?â
âSister-in-law, thereâs no need. Weâve all eaten before we came over. Iâm going to work.â Although Chu Yongliang craved Ye Muyuâs cooking, he had already been bought over by yesterdayâs lunch. He thought to himself that he should work more so that he could eat todayâs lunch.
âSister-in-law, if you have something to do, go ahead. Donât worry about us,â Chu An said with a smile.
Seeing this, Ye Muyu returned to the house and took out the rice wine soup.
âThen drink some sugar water. Thereâs tea here.â
Ye Muyu went into the kitchen.
When Chu Yongliang heard that it was sugar water, he was not greedy, but he craved the fresh stuff that Ye Muyu made.
He walked over in two or three steps and poured some water. His eyes instantly lit up. âThis seems to be rice wine. It doesnât taste like wine. So this is the taste of rice wine cooked with sugar. Itâs so delicious and you wonât get drunk.â âBig Cousin, Brother Lin, Brother, come and drink.â
Chu An walked over quickly and knocked his head lightly. âYouâre about to get married, but youâre still so insensible. How can you take advantage of everything?â
âEldest Cousin, I just want to try it. You know that the things that Sister-in-law Ye cooks are all very good, so I just want to try it,â Chu Yongliang said timidly..
