Ye Muyu did not regret it. Instead of worrying about the future, it was better to live in the present. To her, every day in this life was a gain. Naturally, she would not confine herself to the unknown.

“Are you guessing that there’s a reason behind high-yield crops that we don’t know about?” Chu Heng looked at her serious eyes and hesitated.

“That’s right. Look at the history books again. In the beginning, we planted coarse food such as chestnuts but we have rice and wheat now.

“The production of wheat and rice has always been increasing throughout history. Other than the low production during times of war, doesn’t it always increase when the country is prosperous and the people are at peace?”

Chu Heng saw that his wife had given him a reasonable reason and was even trying to convince him.

He suddenly heaved a sigh of relief. Ah Yu had long been prepared, and she was not stupid. His worry was unnecessary.

“What you said makes sense.”

“So, do you want to buy some more experienced farmers back so that we can study this?” Ye Muyu said.

Chu Heng slowly nodded under her expectant gaze. “Alright, we can try. If we succeed, the grain production will increase in the future. We can control the first batch of seeds and sell them for a lot of money.”

“That’s right,” Ye Muyu nodded with a smile.

“It’s best to find someone who can read. When the time comes, we’ll have to look for it in those miscellaneous notes and history books to see if there’s any inspiration,” Ye Muyu suggested.

“The caravan will bring the books back once they return.” Chu Heng nodded.

“However, our house is too small. If we don’t move to the county in the future, I’m afraid there won’t be enough space in the village.” Chu Heng looked around the old house. He felt that the house that he could tolerate in the past was suddenly a little small for his wife.

There was only one window near the courtyard. The room was low and a little damp. It was thanks to Ye Muyu cleaning up the room that it looked neat and spacious.

“Ah Yu, I want to renovate the house.” Chu Heng frowned at the thought.

“Why did you think of this?” Ye Muyu had thought about this before, but renovating a house was a big deal and could not be done in a short time.

When parts were demolished, it would be a little troublesome to live in. However, it was not that there was no way. It was just that Chu Heng had been studying all this time, so she did not mention it. Moreover, the house could still be renovated.

“I just feel that it’s too small. In addition, we have spare money now. We can renovate the house. It’s also convenient to live in.”

“Then where will we stay while we’re renovating the house?” Ye Muyu asked.

“Ah Yu, where do you want to live?” Chu Heng reached out and grabbed her hand, gently massaging it.

“If you must renovate it, it’s most suitable to stay in the old residence.” Ye Muyu thought that it was impossible for her to take her child to live in the county while the house was in renovation. She was worried that there would be no one to watch over her.

As for the old residence, her mother-in-law was reasonable, her father-in-law would not meddle in other people’s business, and her eldest brother-in-law also did not like to interfere too much in the family’s affairs. Chu Qingxiang was already married, and Madam Zhang was in the wrong, so she would not have the slightest complaint about this matter. In this way, after the family moved in, there should not be any gossip.

“Ah Yu, you don’t mind?” Chu Heng asked curiously. He squeezed her hand and said, “It’s okay. You don’t have to force yourself. You can also stay in Ah Xing’s house. It’s close.”

“What are you talking about? It’s already troublesome enough for us to borrow Ah Xing’s courtyard to place gifts. Besides, Ah Xing just built the house. How can we move in without him even living in it himself?” Ye Muyu smacked his hand helplessly.
