“Silly girl, if you say that again, Father will be angry. Although Father doesn’t like to move, I still have to come and enjoy the celebration of my son-in-law becoming a high scholar.”

Old Madam Ye pulled her closer and asked with a smile, “Son-in-law, are you still going to continue taking the exams?”

“I heard that you can become an official if you pass the high scholar examination. Is that true?”

Ye Muyu smiled. “Mother, Ah Heng is indeed planning to take the exam. There aren’t many cases where one can become an official just because one’s a high scholar. So, he probably won’t become an official now.”

“What? Do you want to write a letter to your big brother and ask him to introduce an official position to my son-in-law?” Old Madam Ye said it with great confidence.

Ye Muyu replied, ” Mother, your way of thinking is wrong. If the imperial court finds out, they will be beheaded for deceiving the emperor.”

“What? Is it that serious?” Old Madam Ye was shocked. She quickly waved her hand. “I didn’t say anything. Just treat it as if I was farting just now. Don’t go and tell your son-in-law.”

Ye Muyu was speechless.

“Mother, let’s go in first. Why didn’t you bring my little brother?”

“It’s your sister-in-law. She’s about to give birth, so we were afraid that she would give birth at this time. We’ll be worried if there’s no one at home, so your little brother won’t come. However, he asked Mother to bring you a gift. It’s some mushrooms. He went to the mountains to pick them up. They’re not ordinary mushrooms. They’re the best kind of matsutake mushrooms.”

When Ye Muyu heard that, she realized that it was the lion’s mane mushroom. It was indeed very precious. There were no such mushrooms in the mountains. It was already good enough to find one or two of them. It was indeed a rare species of mushroom.

“You don’t have to give it to me. Sister-in-law is about to give birth. Let her eat it. After giving birth, she has to take a good rest so that her health won’t be bad in the future,” Ye Muyu said seriously.

“It’s okay. We still have some at home. Even if we don’t have these mushrooms, we still have ordinary mushrooms. We also have some pine mushrooms at home. They’re very tender when stewed with chicken. We’ll save them for your sister-in-law after she gives birth.”

“When Sister-in-law gives birth, remember to inform me. I’ve also prepared a safety charm. Help me take it back later. I’ve been a little busy recently, so I’m afraid I won’t have time to go back.”

“It’s fine, it’s fine. Now that I don’t even have to do the work in the fields. I’m very free. I’m enough to take care of your sister-in-law.”

“And your brother has already gone to learn carpentry. He likes to do that work, so I’ll let him do it. Anyway, the annual harvest at home is enough to make a living.”

“Although your father is lazy and doesn’t like to move, he doesn’t even bother to spend money. We only need to prepare some tobacco leaves for him. He can go under the big pagoda tree and listen to gossip for the whole day,” Old Madam Ye said with a smile.

“Why do you always call me lazy? It sounds bad.” Ye Dejiang couldn’t help but ask.

“You’re famous for being lazy. Do you still need me to say it before others know? Besides, I’m complimenting you. Although you’re useless, you’re also low maintenance. This is a good point that I’ve come up with great difficulty. You should be happy.” Old Madam Ye did not need to do much work, but she still had to cut grass and feed pigs and chickens.

However, she did not have to worry about not having enough money to spend at home. Since she did not have much financial pressure, her mentality became more and more positive, and she smiled at everyone she met.

Ye Dejiang was speechless. ‘Should I be happy or angry?’

‘Forget it, I won’t argue with this old woman. Anyway, other than spouting nonsense, she has always been very good to me.’
