Chapter 66: Her Attitude
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Mother, I want to ask someone to build the wall higher tomorrow. I wonder if the people in the clan are free. If they are not, I will find a part-time worker.” Ye Muyu thanked Madam Liu for her concern and told her the plan that she had already thought of. The house was not bad, but the walls were too low. Especially after hearing from Chu Xing that there were already people waiting for a chance to sneak in.
It had been raining for the past two days, so the footprints could only be seen.
If not for that, he might not even be able to see the footprints. That would be dangerous.
When Madam Liu heard this, she was a little surprised that Madam Ye had already thought it through. It was obvious that she knew what was going on. If it was before, other than scolding, she probably would not have thought about this at all.
Ye Muyu was sensible and Madam Liu thought highly of her.
“Your big brother has been free recently, so I’ll ask him to help you. As for the others, I see that your big uncle’s big brother Chu An is free. The fourth branch’s Maogen and Yongliang should both need money. Is four people enough?” Madam Liu helped her analyze.
Ye Muyu counted with her fingers. Two people would need to transport the sand and stones that were needed, and two people were responsible for laying them. It was slow, but it was enough.
“That’s enough.”
“Mother, I’m prepared to give each person thirty coins a day, but I’m only preparing lunch. I wonder if that’s enough.” Ye Muyu was not petty. She realized that her body could not be overworked. She still had a lot of plans, so she did not want to overwork herself. After all, the medical standard in this era was not high. It was important to take care of her body.
Without a good body, everything was useless. She did not want to spend the rest of her life in bed.
“Thirty coins. Even if you just prepare lunch, it’s still a lot. You can consider lowering it a little.” Madam Liu did not know how much money she had left and only hinted, “You should at least keep some money in your hands. I’ll ask Ah Xing to tell Ah Heng about the house repair. He’ll be responsible.”
Ye Muyu was already thinking about what to prepare for lunch.
When she suddenly heard this, she could not help but feel suspicious. Madam Liu was her mother-in-law and should be on Chu Heng’s side. Why would she be on her side? She would even ask her son for the money.
Moreover, she did not think that her son couldn’t afford it.
Although Ye Muyu had been with Chu Heng for two days and felt that he had outstanding abilities and should have a way to earn money. However, Chu Heng was still a stranger to her. She was just analyzing rationally, so she did not feel bad about taking his money.
However, Madam Liu was Chu Heng’s mother. How could a mother not feel sorry for her son and his wife?
Most importantly, she had not felt any false feelings from Chu Liushi.
Ye Muyu did not know that Madam Liu had a good upbringing. However, Chu Heng said he wanted to divorce Ye Muya.
Ye Muyu’s personality had changed because of Madam Liu’s elder daughter’s incident. She had become more sensible and her health had worsened. Although she did not like the previous Ye Muyu, Madam Liu could not help but feel sorry for Ye Muyu.
In addition, Ye Muyu was especially sensible today. She was very satisfied and subconsciously asked her to consider it.
Ye Muyu thought for a while but did not stop her. As the master of the house, Chu Heng had to know about the family’s matters. Since she was a married woman, there was no need for her to resist.
However, she still insisted on paying them. “Mother, 30 copper coins is about a pound of meat. It’s not much. The main thing is that hiring a part-time worker costs 25 copper coins, and their skills might not be as good.”
“When you invite relatives and friends, you have to give more. It will also be worthy of their sincerity. Moreover, I also want the clan to know that if they are willing to sincerely help, I will not let them down..”
