Madam Zhang quickly walked into the kitchen.

Ye Muyu handed the three bowls of dishes to Chu Qingxiang. “Qingxiang, there’s a bowl of soup inside.”

“Third Aunt, don’t worry, I will be careful.” Chu Qingxiang took the basket and went into the kitchen.

Ye Muyu went to the upper room. Madam Liu and Chu Ziluo were both there. Seeing her, Chu Ziluo was especially happy. “Mother, you’re here.”

“I’m learning how to make shoes from Grandma today. It’s very beautiful. I’ll show it to you later.”

Madam Liu nodded with satisfaction, “This child has a talent for needlework.”

In the past, Chu Ziluo had never learned needlework seriously from anyone. She was forced by the original host to sew clothes and make shoes.

She had never even learned how to hold a needle, so she was often stabbed in the hand.

Even so, with a few years of experience in sewing clothes and shoes, and with Madam Liu’s serious teaching, she understood very quickly and became what Madam Liu meant by having talent.

Ye Muyu nodded and patted Chu Ziluo’s head. “Do you like needlework?”

“I like it.” Chu Ziluo smiled and nodded.

“Then just study hard.” Ye Muyu smiled gently.

Seeing her attitude towards Ziluo, Madam Liu nodded silently in her heart.

“Why are you here?” Only then did Madam Liu have the time to ask.

“At noon, I entertained Eldest Brother and the others. I made a few new dishes and felt that they tasted pretty good, so I’m sending them over for Father and Mother to try. I also wanted to see if the two children are used to it here.”

“Since they’re still used to it, I’ll go back first. I haven’t washed the dishes yet. Eldest Brother and the others are repairing the walls at home. I have to go and watch over them and prepare the tea.”

“Why don’t you stay for dinner? It’s time for dinner when your father-in-law comes back,” Madam Liu asked.

Ye Muyu shook his head. “No need, Mother. I came over after eating. I can’t eat anymore.”

“Oh right, Mother, I’m going to put the broken porcelain pieces on the top of the wall to prevent thieves…” Ye Muyu then explained the principle of this matter in detail, “I went to look for Fifth Aunt in the morning and told her about this. Fifth Aunt plans to let Ah Xing go to the neighboring village to buy broken bowls. If you want to repair the wall like this, you can go to Fifth Aunt’s house to buy them.”

“I see. That’s good. When your father-in-law comes back, I’ll tell him that your method is good. In the future, our entire clan will probably have to build walls like this.”

Ye Muyu was fine, but the other villagers were worried, especially when the thief stole the Li family’s silver.

Although they did not search the thief when they caught him yesterday, it seemed that the Li family said that the thief had an accomplice. Now that the thief had run away again, the villagers felt uneasy.

Therefore, those who had extra money would build walls.

Moreover, for those who had many family members, they could repair it themselves. They did not need to hire anyone, and the cost of materials was not much. They only needed to buy more broken porcelain pieces.

Ye Muyu’s house was unique in the village, without a male owner at home. That was why they needed to hire someone to repair it.

“Oh right, don’t go too far these few days. With Ah Lin and the others around,

I’ll be more at ease. “I reckon that the results will be out in the next two days

regarding the thief,” said Madam Liu. ‘Yes, I understand, Mother. I’ll go back first.”

Ye Muyu stood up.

“Mom, don’t tire yourself out. Remember to take your medicine. You can still take it for three days. After you’re done, remember to change your medicine. If you’re too busy, call me back.” Chu Ziluo grabbed Ye Muyu’s hand reluctantly.

Ye Muyu did not expect this child to be so attentive and even feel sorry for her in front of Madam Liu..
