Chapter 666: Chu Hongmei

Ye Muyu said in an orderly manner. It was not too difficult. However, she still needed to make arrangements. Today, she only needed tea, pastries, melon seeds, and so on.

Although they bought some, there were too many people and it was definitely not enough. Just the hot water had to be boiled over and over again. There was no one free.

Stir-frying peanuts was also hard work.

She had gone to the county to buy the pastries in advance, so she did not have to worry about not having enough.

“That’s good. I wanted to discuss this with you guys before, but Ah Heng said he was prepared, so I didn’t come.”

These few days, the villagers were busy harvesting sweet potatoes and planting wheat.

Madam Liu was the same. Her family had planted quite a lot this year. Although she hired a part-time worker, it was not something that could be done in a few days.

“Mother, it’s already very good that you came to help today. You don’t have to worry. My husband has already arranged many things. I don’t really understand these things, so I listened to my husband and asked Mrs. Xie,” Ye Muyu said honestly.

If her family was in the county, she could still hire a restaurant to arrange the banquet. However, in the countryside, she had to settle some things herself, such as the rule of treating guests separately. To be honest, Ye Muyu only learned about it after consulting Mrs. Xie.

It had to be said that the rules of ancient times were very strict. Even if it was special treatment, no one felt that it was wrong. If it was brought to the modern world, it would probably be questioned and disrespected.

“That’s good. Mrs. Xie definitely knows more than us country women.” Madam Liu nodded sincerely.

The servants in the house had already arranged what they should do in advance. Soon, Ye Muyu was not as busy as before because a few servants had come over to help in the fruit forest.

As soon as Ye Muyu walked out, she was surrounded by a group of madams.

Madam Liu had come out earlier than her and was already chatting with her relatives.

“Ah Yu, this is First Aunt. She just rushed over from Black Water Village. We haven’t seen each other for many years.” Madam Liu pulled her along and introduced them to her.

Speaking of which, Ye Muyu really did not know her. Even if it was the original host, they did not interact much.

Ye Muyu greeted her obediently.

Chu Xingjun held her hand and patted it gently, her face full of affection. “You’re Ah Heng’s wife, right? Back then, when they were getting married, I saw them once. I didn’t expect that so much time had passed.”

She spoke in a country accent with a kind face. She looked like she was not young anymore. Her head was full of silver hair and her face was full of wrinkles. It was obvious that she had not been living well. Her hands were marked by the marks left by long-term farm work. When she gently rubbed Ye Muyu’s hands, it actually hurt a little.

“Eldest Aunt, you must be tired from the journey. Sit down and have some tea and snack.” Ye Muyu said.

Chu Xingjun hurriedly nodded. “Okay, okay, okay. You don’t have to trouble yourself to entertain me. There are many people here. Go ahead.”

Ye Muyu could see her sincerity. With the simplicity and diligence unique to the countryside, she asked Madam Hu to take her to the side to rest and have tea.

She then followed Madam Liu to identify people.

Especially the younger generation, she almost did not know them.

“Ah Yu, this is your Second Aunt.” Madam Liu pointed at a woman who was dressed well and looked to be in her thirties or forties. She was looking around.

“Second Sister-in-law, this is Ah Heng’s wife.” Madam Liu called out to Chu Hongmei.

The woman’s eyes fell on Ye Muyu. After sizing her up, she smiled and said, “Third Sister-in-law, I’m sorry. I’m looking for my Qingxue. She said she went to relieve herself, but she hasn’t come back yet. I’m worried that she has never gone out alone before and she looks too good. That’s why I’m paying more attention to her.”

“It’s okay, Qingxue is here too. I haven’t seen her for a long time.” Madam Liu’s expression was indifferent and not warm. Compared to her attitude toward Eldest Aunt Chu Xingjun, she was much more casual to Chu Hongmei.
