Peasant Woman's Decreed Life as a Wife

Madam Liu was not a person who liked to be ostentatious, but Madam Cao loved to show off her superiority in front of her. Speaking of which, if it was not for Madam Cao’s short-sighted view, Chu An would have become an

Elementary Scholar long ago. It was just that he had to spend more money.

However, Madam Cao was unwilling.

When Chu Heng became an Elementary Scholar, she was envious. She wanted to force her son, who had put down his studies for three to four years, to study again.

Chu An knew that he could not pass the examination, so she was naturally unwilling. He was more willing to do things slowly. Madam Cao could not compare to Madam Liu, whose son was a scholar, so she usually used her identity as the wife of the clan leader to pressure her.

Previously, Madam Liu was angry because Madam Cao had already called her third daughter-in-law to look for her once. She wanted to ask Madam Liu about the recipe for pickled cabbages. She even said righteously that this was for the development of the clan and she should not be so selfish.

When Madam Liu heard this, she immediately laughed and said that Madam Cao was greedy and chased Madam Cao’s third daughter-in-law away.

Now, she and Madam Cao were at loggerheads.

Madam Cao’s expression darkened after hearing this.

Madam Zheng knew that something was wrong when she saw her mother-in-law speak.

Sure enough, Madam Cao’s words were refuted by Madam Liu in just a few words.

Looking at her mother-in-law who was holding back her anger for the sake of her face, Madam Zheng could not help but curse in her heart.

“Third Aunt, you’re so lucky. We’ll also benefit from Ah Heng’s light,” Madam Zheng reminded with a smile.

When the others heard this, they agreed. Chu Heng was a scholar and might even be able to get into the imperial examinations. How could they offend him?

They all echoed Madam Zheng’s words and complimented Madam Liu.

Madam Liu looked at Madam Cao’s sullen expression. She did not hide her happiness at all, which made Madam Cao furious.

In the end, Madam Yun was chosen as the tea art instructor.

When it came to cooking, although everyone envied Ye Muyu’s cooking skills, no one mentioned her.

Madam Zheng did not even mention Ye Muyu from the start.

The others did not want to offend Chu Heng, so they decided on the fourth branch’s eldest daughter-in-law, Madam Xiao Kong.

Madam Xiao Kong’s culinary skills were not bad, and she was also a chef in the village.

Now that she was asked to teach the girls cooking, naturally, no one objected.

Other than Ye Muyu, Madam Xiao Kong’s food would naturally be the best in

the clan. However, now that everyone knew about Ye Muyu’s cooking skills, everyone felt that it was a pity that Ye Muyu did not want to become an instructor.

However, they did not dare to force anything.

Even Madam Cao could not defeat Madam Liu, so how could she still hope that she could defeat Ye Muyu?

After the discussion, some details were discussed.

Once they were done, they got up and went home. She had already set the date for the class to tomorrow morning.

Each of the four classes lasted for two hours. The morning and afternoon classes added up to eight hours in total.

Other than at night, there was no free time.

Ye Muyu could not help but exclaim that the girls in ancient times had learned a lot and worked even harder.

On the way home, Madam Liu instructed, “Go back and ask the children to study hard. We can’t waste the money we spend.”

“Although I don’t teach tea, I can still give some special treatment to the girls in my own family.”

“Alright, go back. There’s nothing else to do here.”

“Alright, Mother. I’ll go back then.” Madam Wang did not want to waste any time. She had recently planned to buy a piece of barren land and wanted to reclaim it.

Seeing this, Madam Liu waved her hand and did not say anything.

Ye Muyu also said goodbye, “Mother, you’ve worked hard today.”

“Humph, it’s not just just for your sake. It’s that Madam Cao who was greedy and wanted to ask me for the recipe for pickled cabbages. It’s one thing for me to voluntarily contribute to the clan, but it’s another thing if she forces me to tell her the recipe..”
