The color was a little bright, which made her look like she had just become rich. However, Madam Wang was obviously very satisfied with today’s dress, and she never stopped smiling.
“If Second Sister-in-law likes it, I’ll get someone to send you another jar. You can drink less when you eat. You won’t get drunk.” Ye Muyu smiled.
This jar of fruit wine was made from peaches. It had a hint of sweet peach flavor and was suitable for women and children.
“It’s delicious. What I’m most satisfied with now is being able to marry into the Chu family and meet such a good sister-in-law like you.” Madam Wang was drinking happily. She dared not say anything in the past, but today, she kept saying it.
“Third Sister-in-law, you’re too talented. These things are all to my liking. What kind of life did I live in the past? I only knew how to work hard. We had such good food, but I didn’t cook them well. It was really a waste.” Madam Wang almost patted Ye Muyu on the shoulder.
Ye Muyu was affected by her emotions. She poured some fruit wine and drank it slowly. When she first made it, the alcohol content was relatively low, so she was not worried about getting drunk.
As she drank slowly and ate the hot dishes, her mood improved.
“Second Sister-in-law, if you want to learn, you can learn from me.” Ye Muyu smiled.
When Madam Wang heard this, she was originally a little surprised. However, she quickly waved her hand. “No, no, no. If my cooking skills were so good, I wouldn’t have been like this all these years.”
“Oh?” Madam Liu could not help but laugh when she heard this. “You still know that your culinary skills aren’t good?”
Madam Wang was a little embarrassed. “Mother, I can’t deny it. Everyone can see it.”
“By the way, Third Sister-in-law, I won’t learn the fruit wine you mentioned, but you should open a fruit wine shop. I’m sure many people will like it.”
“That’s right. When you’re cooking, call me over to take a look. I’ll also casually make a few jars. With you watching, I’m not afraid of making mistakes.” Madam Wang smiled until her face turned red.
“Alright.” Ye Muyu nodded. “I’ll tell you when I’m making it.”
“Hehe, sure. I won’t be afraid of not having good wine to drink in the future. When spring comes, I’ll buy some fruit trees and plant them. Then, I won’t have to worry about not having any fruits.”
Seeing that her second daughter-in-law, who had always been working quietly and never said anything, had changed so much today, Madam Liu thought to herself, ‘It’s all thanks to that purple dress!’
Madam Zhang only smiled at the side. If there were a need to add food, she would help. She did not talk to Ye Muyu much.
When things were still fine, she still had the face to flatter Ye Muyu.
However, she could now clearly feel that Ye Muyu did not like what Qiangniang was doing. She felt very awkward.
The whole family was having a lively lunch.
Ye Muyu also ate a lot and drank a lot.
After dinner, the maids at home helped to clean up the dishes. She found an opportunity to go to the toilet.
Just as she was done, she stood up and was about to return to the front yard when she heard a voice.
“Second Brother, what have you been busy with recently?” Chu Lin asked.
Chu Cai said, “I’m busy making furniture for a rich family. Didn’t you see it? I’m busy at home every day. My hands get very cold when I’m doing woodwork in the middle of winter. I’m afraid my firewood won’t last until spring.”
“I know, I know. But, is the family you mentioned surnamed Xu?”
“That’s right. His surname is Xu. Old Master Xu isn’t from the county. He’s from the prefecture city.”
Chu Lin heard his second brother’s excited voice and frowned. “But, when I went to the county a few days ago, I heard that Old Master Xu is in the silk business. He doesn’t need to buy wood.”
