In the afternoon, Zhao Yun 'er picked a big fish and sent it to Mu Lan.
After all, Mu Lan had defended her before, so she wanted to thank her for it.
When it was time for Family Zhu, the men of Family Zhu all went to work in the fields. It was the busiest time for farming.
The women of Family Zhu were at home.
As soon as they entered the courtyard of Family Zhu, they heard the cries of the Family Zhu's child. It was probably the child of Mu Lan's sister-in-law.
The child was crying miserably.
In the courtyard of Family Zhu, Mu Lan was doing some small chores. These days, she had brought back some bamboo from the mountains and was now weaving some bamboo baskets and wicker baskets.
There were already some woven baskets on the ground at the side. They looked very delicate and were very good.
Zhao Yun 'er didn't know that Mu Lan was so skillful in weaving these things.
However, these baskets and wicker baskets could be sold for money in the town.
"Sister Mu Lan!" Zhao Yun 'er called out.
Mu Lan turned to look at Zhao Yun 'er. She stopped what she was doing and said with a smile, "Yun' er, why are you here?"
Zhao Yun 'er said, "I caught some fish and sent one to you!"
Zhao Yun 'er walked to Mu Lan's side and waved the fish in her hand in front of Mu Lan. "I picked the biggest fish for you."
"Sister Yun 'er, you're too polite. You should keep it for yourself. Why did you send it to me?"
"It's okay. I have a lot of fish at home. It's good to let you try it. It tastes good."
Hearing Zhao Yun 'er's words, Mu Lan didn't refuse. In fact, fish was not particularly expensive in the countryside. It was much worse than meat.
"Sister Yun 'er, thank you!"
"You're welcome."
Zhao Yun 'er smiled and pointed to the basket on the ground. "Sister Mu Lan, I didn't know you could make this before."
"This is what my father taught me. Now that I'm free, I'll make a few of them. If this basket is sold in the town later, if one of them is good, it can be sold for ten copper coins. At least it can supplement the family's expenses."
Zhao Yun 'er nodded and said, "That's right. But Sister Mu Lan, you have to work hard."
"Fortunately, I'm not tired. I'm not working in the field. San 'er's father and the other men working in the field are the ones who are tired!"
While the two were chatting, Mu Lan's mother-in-law, Mrs. Zhu, came out of the house. "Third daughter-in-law, who are you talking to?"
When she came out and saw Zhao Yun 'er, her face suddenly turned ugly. "Why do you talk to everyone? You even brought a dubious person home and chatted happily!"
Zhao Yun 'er saw that Mrs. Zhu's eyes were very unkind. Was she talking about the dubious person?
Her reputation in the village was indeed bad. She didn't expect that this Family Zhu's mother-in-law didn't avoid it at all. She directly said this sentence in front of her. She was really unwilling to put on a show.
Mu Lan glanced at Zhao Yun 'er awkwardly. She knew that her mother-in-law's words must have made Zhao Yun' er sad.
Facing Mrs. Zhu's dark face, Mu Lan explained, "Mother, Sister Yun 'er came here this time to bring us fish to eat!"
Mulan said as she took the fish from Zhao Yun 'er's hand and handed it to Old Madam Zhu.
