Ye Muyu did not say anything about insincere people. After all, she had never met such a clan member before. She did not need to deliberately smear their reputation.
Madam Liu slowly understood the deeper meaning behind Ye Muyu’s words.
She was more and more satisfied with Ye Muyu’s actions. She nodded and said, “That’s right. You’re very thoughtful. We’re all family, so we can’t lose to a part-time worker.”
After all, anyone could have something to do at this time.
There was no particularly poor family in the entire Chu clan that was willing to find work during their free time.
However, now that they would be busy with farming, one had to be sincere when asking for help.
After speaking to Madam Liu, Chu Lin and Chu Cai returned.
Madam Liu told Chu Lin that she would start repairing the wall of Chu Heng’s house tomorrow.
Chu Lin nodded in agreement.
Seeing that Madam Liu did not call him, Chu Cai did not say anything.
After sending off the two families and Madam Liu, Ye Muyu carried the kerosene lamp and checked the house. Once she confirmed that there were no hidden dangers, she returned to the kitchen and brought the dinner she had prepared for the night into the living room.
“Come over for dinner,” Ye Muyu said.
Chu Jin rushed in and saw the meat soup on the table. He grinned and did not stand on ceremony. He scooped it into a bowl and ate it in big mouthfuls.
Chu Ziluo quickly reminded him. “Little brother, eat slowly. Don’t choke. Have you forgotten what Father said about not spilling food on the table?”
“If you don’t pay attention now, Grandpa will definitely scold you when we reach the old residence.”
Chu Ziluo’s words instantly slowed Chu Jin’s movements.
Chu Jin swallowed the food in his mouth and said in a muffled voice, “I don’t want to go to the old residence.”
“You have to go even if you don’t want to. This is what Father said. Do you dare to disobey?” Chu Ziluo’s voice was crisp and clear. She lifted her head and scooped some meat soup for Ye Muyu, wishing she could give her all the meat.
Ye Muyu was touched and heartbroken. Although the original host had always been biased toward boys and neglected her daughter, Chu Ziluo was kind and filial.
She had only treated her well for two days, but she had already let go of her past grudges and was not angry at all.
As Ye Muyu thought about it, she could not help but put on a gentle smile. She took her spoon and scooped a lot of meat for her. “You eat too. Mother doesn’t need you to take care of me.” “You take care of your brother.”
“Lilt Jin, Ziluo is the elder sister. If you have anything you don’t understand, ask your sister first.”
Ye Muyu took this opportunity to reconcile the relationship between the two siblings. In the past, Chu Jin was too domineering and willful. He did not even have Chu Ziluo in his heart.
This was nit good. The two siblings should help each other.
Chu Jin wanted to retort, “Mother, you’re not good to me anymore. You wouldn’t be like this in the past.”
Chu Ziluo was also looking at her in fear. She did not know if her mother was telling the truth or not. She realized that her mother had been treating her better and better these past two days. In the past, she did not dare to say anything to her brother because her mother had always said that her brother was a boy, so she had to give in to him. She was a girl, so she should not fight for her brother’s things.
Ye Muyu glanced at Chu Jin. “This is what your father said.”
This sentence made Chu Jin, who was a little dissatisfied, calm down. He was still young and careless, so he did not know what sadness was. Therefore, he quickly recovered his emotions.
“Alright, then I guess I’ll treat her like an elder sister in the future.” Chu Jin happily ate the meat again.
Ye Muyu was relieved. Although the original host doted on this child to the point of being overbearing and mischievous, he was also generous. He was not as meticulous as Ziluo..
