That was her first thought. After she finished speaking, even she was surprised. She could not help but explain, “I don’t know if we’ll lose money, but I’m sure it’s enough for our clansmen to build the wall.”
Ye Muyu had indeed overestimated Madam Qian. Although she was already a grandmother, her way of thinking was different from ordinary people. No wonder she was rich.
“Fifth Aunt, your idea is very good. Then I’ll have to trouble you to buy the bowls.” Ye Muyu thought, ‘Since Madam Qian wants to do this business, why don’t I be her first customer? This way, I can encourage her to do this business that will definitely make money. At the same time, I can also save the trouble of having to carry the goods by myself during the purchase process.’
“Sure, when do you want it? I’ll get Ah Xing to send it to you.” Madam Qian saw that Ye Muyu was so easy to talk to, so she had a good impression of her and was very sincere.
“Eldest Brother said that the wall needs to be repaired for three to four days. Fifth Aunt, just ask Ah Xing to send it over in these two days.”
Madam Qian naturally agreed.
Ye Muyu did not expect this matter to be resolved so quickly. Other than giving Madam Qian money, she did not have to do anything else.
Ye Muyu felt that she was getting along well with Madam Qian, so she decided ask for her help. “Fifth Aunt, it’s like this. I haven’t been feeling well recently, but I haven’t had time to clean up the weeds in the fields.”
“I want to pay five copper coins a day for someone to me weed the field. The weeds can be taken back to feed the pigs. I don’t know which family’s children are willing to come over.”
“Ah, copper coins? Even adults are willing, let alone children.” Madam Qian felt that Madam Ye was living a better life. Otherwise, why would she even call for help to weed?
However, when she looked up at Ye Muyu’s pale face and thought of her poor health, she felt relieved. Besides, Ye Muyu was a scholar’s wife. It was normal for her to live better than ordinary people.
She was happy that the younger generation knew how to read.
“Fifth Aunt, I just want to find a child. Now that the farm is busy, if an adult help me, it might cause trouble. If I delay their family’s work and they quarrel, I will inevitably be implicated.”
“It’s just right to call them children. My family doesn’t have much land, so it won’t take long to finish them. It won’t delay the family’s work either. Those children who usually dig wild vegetables by the field are very suitable.”
“You have a point.” Madam Qian was instantly convinced by Ye Muyu.
She could not help but give her a thumbs up. “You’re really thoughtful. Then I’ll go and spread the news?”
“Mmhm, I’ll have to trouble Fifth Aunt. If the children of the clan are willing to come, that would be even better.” Ye Muyu knew that in this era, if one did not side with the clan, one could not be independent.
Perhaps it was because Chu Heng’s status in the clan was very high, so she had not met anyone who made things difficult for her.
Naturally, they were also willing to befriend the people in the clan.
Ye Muyu did not delay any longer. She handed a few things over to Madam Qian, then turned around and went to the pork stall at the bridgehead to buy some meat.
When Ye Muyu returned home, Chu Lin and the others were already mixing the mud. She saw that they were busy and did things properly.
She quickly went into the kitchen to boil tea.
“Lilt Jin, Ziluo, go to the old residence now. Mother has to stay at home and look after the wall, so I can’t send you.” still had to deal with the children.
At this moment, everyone in the village had gone to chase after the thief. It was very lively and safe. She was fine with the children going alone.
Chu Ziluo and Chu Jin were writing in the study..
