Peasant Woman's Decreed Life as a Wife - Chapter 874:
Chapter 874: New Year’s Eve
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
When the family got out of the carriage, they saw a large group of Chu clansmen waiting at the door.
Women were not allowed to enter the ancestral hall. The clan leader and the others were standing at the front. When they saw Chu Heng coming down, they called him over.
Chu Heng tilted his head and told her, “Ah Yu, I’ll come out as soon as possible. Don’t just stand there like a fool. Find a place to stay sheltered from the wind.”
He reached out to Han Zhuang to take the fox scarf that he had prepared earlier and put it on Ye Muyu.
Seeing that the men of the Chu family were all looking over, she quickly patted him. “You should go quickly. I won’t catch a cold. Don’t delay the time. The clan leader and father are waiting for you.”
“Alright.” Chu Heng brought Lil’ Jin along with him and went to the ancestral hall with the clan leader and the others to pay their respects to the ancestors of the Chu family.
Ye Muyu and Ziluo stood outside the ancestral hall. The wind was not strong, but it was a little cold and damp.
However, she did not feel cold after changing into shoes that were more impervious to moisture.
Ziluo also put her hand into the sheath in front of her and stood obediently at the side.
The mother and daughter were very obedient and did not make any noise. The other members of the Chu family could not say anything, so they tacitly agreed that they were standing outside the door.
In fact, Chu Heng had already mentioned the status of his wife and children to the clan.
Even the clan leader would not object. At most, many people would be envious.
Among them, this time, as the wife of the clan leader, Madam Cao did not have the qualifications to wait outside the ancestral hall. Although this was a difficult task, it was a manifestation of status.
This time, they had prepared very warmly.
Ye Muyu was much more comfortable outside than last time, but she was a little worried about Ziluo.
“Ziluo, are you cold?” Ye Muyu asked her daughter beside her after she had stood there for the time for two incense sticks to burn.
“If it’s cold, go back to the house with Madam Hu first.”
“Mom, it’s okay. My feet aren’t cold. I’ll be fine after walking around for a while.”
Ye Muyu rubbed her head and smiled gently. They then waited for a while.
Chu Heng was the first to walk out of the ancestral hall.
He quickly walked forward and held Ye Muyu’s hand. He quickly placed a small hand warmer in her hand before turning around to talk to the clan leader.
In addition to paying respects to the ancestral hall, they also needed to go up the mountain to burn incense at the graves of other ancestors.
Ye Muyu felt the warmth from the palm of her hand. The man in front of her used his body to block half of her and the other people’s vision.
She did not expect her man to play tricks in front of the elders. She could not help but smile.
“Ah Heng, let’s go up the mountain directly. Let’s go together.” The clan leader did not delay.
This time, everyone in the clan went.
Women could go too.
Every household carried their items to the grave and set off for the mountain.
The Chu family had a special graveyard.
The graveyard was not far from the village, on the other side of the firewood mountain.
Almost every household went out.
Ye Muyu was holding Ziluo’s hand, and Madam Liu was beside her as she introduced Ye Muyu to the ancestors.
“This is your aunt. She passed away when she was only two years old during the disaster many years ago. Originally, she couldn’t have been buried here because she was too young, but your grandparents couldn’t bear to part with her, so they dug a hole in the outermost area and buried her here without even putting up a sign.”
Hearing this, Ye Muyu felt upset. She squatted down and pulled out the weeds that grew on it.
Madam Liu also squatted down.
After the two of them finished cleaning up, they continued to look at the graves.
“Oh right, Ah Yu, let’s have New Year’s Eve dinner at the old residence tonight. Your new residence has been repaired, so you don’t have to go to the county. You can go back tomorrow.” Madam Liu discussed with her.
