“Second Brother only knows how to do carpentry. It’s just that he’s been busy with farming recently, so I’m afraid he won’t have time,” Ye Muyu said.
Madam Liu did not consider this question. When she heard that Chu Heng wanted to teach her daughter how to read, her first reaction was to agree. She had studied some books back then and could read, so she was more Imowledgeable than the other women in the village.
She was especially glad about this.
After all, it was really uncomfortable to see many women in the village acting stupid because they did not know the rules. She did not want to become like that.
Madam Ye was the one that worried her the most.
However, hearing Ye Muyu’s words, Chu Liushi could clearly feel that Madam Ye was sensible.
She felt extremely comfortable.
She thought of what she had said yesterday. Madam Ye had suffered a lot because of the rumors in the village. For a moment, she felt a little guilty.
Seeing that her words were reasonable, Madam Liu said, “Go and ask your second brother later. If he’s not free, go and ask your fifth uncle if he has time to make it. If not, go and buy it.”
Ye Muyu knew that the clan basically helped each other. For example, in the entire Chu clan, other than Chu Cai, who did carpentry work, there was also the second grandfather’s uncle, Chu Feng.
Usually, when it came to work that could be done by one’s own family, they would first look for their own clansmen and also have the intention of befriending them.
Ye Muyu knew she would have to deal with the clan if she wanted to live in the village now. Besides, this would not bring her any trouble. She thought that it was better to have one more friend than one more enemy. She naturally nodded lightly. After all, she thought the same in her heart.
Ye Muyu and Madam Liu tidied up the house. The blankets on the bed were all new.
In order to prevent outsiders from gossiping, Madam Liu did not allow Ye
Muyu to prepare quilts for the two children. She could still afford to get them.
There were also some who did not want to make a big move and let the villagers focus on the changes in the third family.
Madam Liu thought that once the news of the female arts competition came out, no one would care about Third Brother anymore. That would be great.
Ye Muyu did not know that her mother-in-law was thinking so much in such a short time.
After she cleaned up the entire bed, she placed Chu Ziluo’s clothes on it.
At this time, there were no clothes racks. In addition, the clothes were made of soft material and the color was monotonous. It was suitable to put them directly in the small wooden box by the bed.
In addition to clothes, she also prepared a dressing box for Ziluo, which contained a hairband and a comb. As for the mirror, it was only the size of a palm.
After she was done tidying, Madam Liu looked outside and saw that her husband and Third Brother had not returned yet.
“Ziluo, go and see how your brother’s room is doing.”
After sending the child away, Madam Liu said, “I think Third Brother will stay for quite some time. After all, this news will have a huge impact on the clan.” Ye Muyu quietly waited for the other party to finish her sentence.
“Take Lilt Jin and Ziluo back first and come back tomorrow. Third Brother will definitely leave for the county to study in the afternoon.”
“If you can convince the other party to let the two children stay at home and only come to class during the day, I will be pleased.”
“I know that you want to spend the rest of your life with Third Brother.”
“He might have heard some gossip outside that the two children are not outstanding enough. You know that he is full of expectations for the two children. Naturally, he does not want the two children to really become what outsiders say..”
