The Comeback of the Charming Farmer's Wife

Chapter 2401 - 2403

"You’re reading again, cooped up in the house every day, aren’t you bored?" Yueyue came over and pulled her up, "Knowing I’m back, you don’t even come out to chat with me, staying in the room is so boring, come, accompany me for a walk."

Mu Huarong quietly withdrew her hand, "Did my mom ask you to come, Yueyue?"

"Uh!!"

"Sister Yueyue isn’t a lively person by nature, I suspect my mom asked you to take me out for a walk, putting you in a tough spot?" Mu Huarong chuckled lightly, "Apart from the injury on my face not healing, there’s nothing wrong with me. I’m just lazy to go out, and there’s really nowhere interesting in this village."

"You figured it out." Yueyue awkwardly sat down to the side; she actually didn’t like going out either. Given the choice, she’d rather stay in her room reading or writing.

But Aunt Dongyang had said it to her, so she had no choice but to come over and persuade Mu Huarong.

"Yeah, my mom has been telling me countless times over the past month."

As they spoke, Mu Huarong’s eyes drifted back to the book. That gentle tranquility in her lowered gaze made Yueyue feel a bit strange; could the change in appearance really cause such a drastic personality shift?

She remembered that Huarong used to be the most impatient with reading.

Well, growing up, the two sisters of the Mu family did look very similar, and since Mu Huarong was wearing a veil, Yueyue truly didn’t notice anything off.

"Miss Ye is here? I’ll make you some tea!" The maid came in, delighted to see Yueyue as well. It was wonderful, indeed, to have someone to keep her Miss company.

"Isn’t this Hua’en’s maid? How come she’s here with you?"

"Hua’en said this maid has been with her for a long time, knows how to change dressings and understands medicinal diets, so she sent her to me."

Yueyue nodded but wondered why the maid was so excited to see her.

Both were naturally quiet women, with little to chat about as they sat together. After a short while, Yueyue left.

Tongyang saw only her coming out, feeling a bit disappointed.

"Alright, take it slow, don’t rush," Yang Chuxia advised.

"Hmm, I understand."

The next day, Yangyang arrived at Yangshu Village, surprisingly accompanied by Mu Shaofeng and his wife.

"How did you all come together?"

"Mom, surprise or not?" Yangyang got off the horse and gave his mom a big hug.

"Surprise, of course, it’s a surprise!" Yang Chuxia held Yangyang with one hand and turned to talk to Mu Shaofeng and his wife, "I didn’t expect you to come too."

"We also plan to live in Wangquan Town. I’ve got a house in town, and my wife and I intend to retire here. When you get tired of staying in the village, come to the town and find us."

Knowing that Ye Zi’an and his wife had returned to Funan, Mu Shaofeng, being closer, often came over, frequently going out to sea or fishing with Ye Zi’an.

Ever since their son got married three months ago, and their eldest daughter was also married off, he consulted with his wife about moving to town.

Not living with their son and daughter-in-law helps avoid conflicts.

His wife readily agreed; after seeing much of the grandeur and riches over the years, she appreciated the simplicity more in her later years. So the couple, after some discussion, brought their younger daughter to Wangquan Town.

"This is great! We now have another place to go."

Mu Shaoling then said, "I’m also thinking of getting a piece of land in the village to build a house." They had been staying at Ye Zi’an’s, and although no one said anything, staying indefinitely wasn’t proper or sensible.

"Why build a house? My place has houses both front and back; stay as long as you like, otherwise, it’s just wasted space."
