Ye Muyu thought about it and did not refuse. She needed to stay in the old residence to make it more lively.

There was also the firewood mountain, where the duck and chicken coops needed to be paid at the end of the year.

There were also many miscellaneous matters.

After confirming the reunion dinner, Ye Muyu found an opportunity to tell Chu Heng about it.

He did not have any urgent matters to attend to in the county. On New Year’s Eve, even his shop had two days off.

After visiting the grave…

Ye Muyu and Chu Heng brought the two children back to the house in the village.

The stone slabs in the house were paved with neat strips of stone. There were only two pots of evergreen in the front yard.

They walked straight into the small courtyard behind.

Ye Muyu asked Su Mei and Su Lan to put the luggage into the house first before starting a charcoal fire.

The kitchen was also busy. Madam Hu went to order the ginger soup to be cooked.

The dozen or so servants he brought back began to clean all the rooms.

After cleaning today, it would not be suitable to sweep tomorrow.

It was almost noon. Ye Muyu and Chu Heng brought the children to the old residence.

Madam Liu, Madam Zhang, and Madam Wang were already busy preparing the New Year’s Eve dinner in the kitchen. They would eat from noon to night. This year, the Chu family did not lack food and clothing. There was chicken, duck, fish, and everything else.

The two children went to play with the other children in the house.

Ye Muyu went into the kitchen after informing Chu Heng.

“Third Sister-in-law, you’re here. Try this fish with pickled cabbages.” When Madam Zhang saw that Ye Muyu had come, she quickly filled a small bowl with some fish that was boiling in the pot for her to taste.

Ye Muyu saw that her expression was natural and not uncomfortable at all. It seemed that Chu Qingxiang had not returned, so naturally, Madam Zhang did not know what had happened in the Dazhu Village.

Unexpectedly, just as Ye Muyu was thinking this and was about to taste the meat with her chopsticks, she heard Madam Zhang say, “Third Sister-in-law, I am sorry. Qingxiang has troubled you again.”

“You know about it?” Ye Muyu asked out of curiosity.

“Usually, your big brother will go to the county to deliver pickled cabbages and sell some mountain products from the village.” Madam Zhang smiled bitterly.

“Don’t we have a chicken at home?”

“Ever since Qingxiang married into the Song family, I was worried that something would happen to her, so I asked your brother to keep an eye on her. I was afraid that something big would happen and we, as her parents, wouldn’t know.”

“After that, I got the news from fellow villagers in Dazhu Village.”

“I just went to Lin County and met with Qingxiang. That’s when I found out that she had done such a terrible thing.”

“It’s all thanks to you and Third Brother. Otherwise, I’m afraid she wouldn’t be able to live a peaceful life now.”

Ye Muyu did not say anything and just nodded. “It’s almost done. You can scoop it up now.”

Madam Zhang saw that she obviously did not want to talk about Qingxiang’s matter and felt even more bitter. However, with her husband’s reminder, she was not as straightforward as before.

“Third Sister-in-law, don’t worry. I’ll take care of Qingxiang.”

“Eldest Sister-in-law, I understand.”

“What else do you want to cook next? I’ll do it.” After Ye Muyu asked for an apron from Madam Liu, she went into the kitchen and started cooking.

Madam Zhang also stopped talking about Chu Qingxiang’s matter and this matter ended here.

There were eight main dishes and five to six side dishes for the meal.

The men drank white wine while the women drank fruit wine.

The fruit wine was prepared by Ye Muyu in July and August. It tasted just right now.

“Third Sister-in-law, is this really wine made from fruits? It’s sweet and not as spicy as white wine. It’s really delicious.” Madam Wang was also wearing a purple brocade dress today.
