章 44: Gift

The protagonist of a rumor was often the last to hear of said rumor.

Madam Ma-Liu was so busy every day that she didn't even have time to drink water, let alone catch wind of that rumor. Hence, she was simply happy that Mu Yangling had come to visit her.

She knew that Shu Wanniang came from a wealthy family and didn't know how to grow vegetables, so she went to the vegetable garden to pick some vegetables. She also took a lot of pickled vegetables for Mu Yangling to bring back and said, "Your mother will be giving birth in three months, right? By then, the weather will be cold and there won't be much to do in the fields. I can go take care of her during her confinement period. Go back and ask your mother if she'd like that. If she doesn't mind that I'm clumsy, I'll start preparing the red cloth."
