Xiang Ling’er quickly waved her hand. “Father, I don’t want it. Didn’t Cousin-in-law give me a piece of clothing a few days ago? It’s very nice. I don’t need to make a new one. Leave it for my nieces and nephews.”

“Ling’er, there’s no need. Keep it for yourself…” The few daughters-in-law of the Xiang family felt comfortable. At least their sister-in-law always thought of their children. This made their mothers happier than anything else.

Xiang Ling’er smiled. “Sisters-in-law, you don’t have to reject me. If I don’t have it, I’ll keep it. But I already have clothing. If you don’t have enough fabric, you can’t make enough for the children to wear, right?”

“When the time comes, we’ll wear nice clothes and go to the county to watch the lantern festival.”

“Since Ling ‘er is giving it to you sincerely, you should accept it. Make the clothes first. If there’s not enough fabric, come and get it from me. Your father and I don’t need that much.” Chu Xingjun immediately decided.

The three daughters-in-law looked at each other and nodded.

Every family had children, so they naturally cared for their children first.

“Alright, go back first. Clean up and go to bed early. The fire in the kitchen needs to be watched over. Your mother sleeps late, so she’ll watch over it first. You guys watch the time and take turns at night.” Xiang Zhifu arranged.

Although Ye Muyu said that it would be fine as long as it did not get wet at night, the Xiang family treated the wood ears as a job that could earn them money. They were very careful and did not dare to mess around.

Midnight…

Ye Muyu was sleeping soundly, but there were mosquitoes flying around her body.

She raised her hand and casually hit it. With a slap, the mosquito was not killed. It only hit the air.

Feeling sleepy, she waved her hand casually.

Chu Heng woke up when he heard the slap. He opened his eyes and saw the mosquitoes in the air, so he sat up.

He put on his shoes and searched his bag before finding a mosquito-repellent sachet.

When he placed it by the bed, there were still some mosquitoes.

Chu Heng frowned and pulled Ye Muyu into his arms. He raised his hand to look at the mosquitoes in the air. When he heard the sound, he raised his hand to swat them. He was fast and the mosquitoes could not escape. Soon, many of them were killed.

Seeing that there were fewer mosquitoes, Chu Heng lay down and looked at Ah Yu in his arms. Seeing that she was sleeping comfortably, his lips curled into a faint smile.

He hugged her and fell asleep peacefully.

The next morning…

After Ye Muyu woke up, she went to the room next door to tidy up the children’s room.

The Xiang family did not have many rooms, but they had also tidied up a separate room for them.

Although Ziluo and Lil’ Jin slept in the same room, it was fine as long as they were separated with cloth in the middle of the room.

“Mother, we want to go to the mountain with Daniu and the others to pick up the wood ears in the morning, okay?” Chu Ziluo quickly put on her clothes while Ye Muyu combed her hair.

“If you want to go, go. But be careful. The mountain is slippery. Those wood ears are a little ripe. If you don’t move lightly enough, they will break if you touch them.”

“Mother, I will ask Eldest Uncle Xiang. I won’t act rashly,” Chu Ziluo quickly promised.

Chu Jin was also waiting to comb his hair at the side. He quickly raised his hand when he heard this. “Mother, I haven’t gone to the mountain to take a look. Big Brother Daniu said that there are bird eggs and wild duck eggs in the grass by the river.”

“Don’t go to the river. Go to the mountains and pick up the wood ears.” Ye Muyu shook her head when she heard that. This kid did not know how to swim, so he might fall into the water. They would have to wait until next summer to find someone to teach him how to swim.

Chu Jin was not disappointed when he heard that. Instead, his attention was immediately diverted.

“Cousin-in-law, it’s time for breakfast.” Although Xiang Ling’er was dressed in coarse clothes, she looked neat and tidy.
