However, if he said this, he would be meddling in other people’s business. After all, Madam Ye had quarreled with their eldest sister, Chu Yun, because her eldest sister had scolded her for being too talkative.
Ye Muyu turned around and entered the house after entertaining the four of them.
In the central room, Old Woman Ye sat at the side, confronting Madam Liu. Neither of them spoke.
Old Woman Ye saw Ye Muyu come in and instantly became anxious. She stood up abruptly and looked at her, wanting to speak.
“Mother, sit down and drink some tea.”
Ye Muyu walked over and helped Old Woman Ye sit down.
When Madam Liu saw this, she frowned. How could she not know what Old Woman Ye was thinking? She might take away valuable things from Madam Ye’s hands.
“May I know why in-law is here?” Madam Liu took a sip of tea and said, “Now that Heng’er is preparing for his exams at the county school, I, as his mother, have been entrusted by him to take care of my third daughter-in-law and two children. I hope you won’t blame me.”
Madam Liu aid that it was Chu Heng’s orders that made her appear at home so often.
It also prevented Old Woman Ye from striking first and saying unpleasant words.
Actually, Madam Liu was overthinking. Although Old Woman Ye was shameless, she was also guilty. Especially in front of Madam Liu who could read, she never liked to interact with her.
Usually, she only came to see Madam Ye.
“I see, haha.” Old Woman Ye smiled awkwardly, obviously not willing to talk to Madam Liu. At the same time, she pulled Ye Muyu’s sleeve and winked at her.
Ye Muyu knew that Old Madam Ye wanted to talk to her alone.
“Mother, the fields will be cleaned up tomorrow. I want to find a short-term worker to come back and plant the vegetables in the fields to help with this busy farming.” Ye Muyu gently patted Old Woman Ye’s hand, telling her not to speak. She then discussed with Madam Liu about the plans for the family’s farming.
She did not mind letting the elders know about such a small matter.
Hearing this, Madam Liu nodded her head gently. Although hiring a part-time worker was not in line with the habits of the villagers, it was better than leaving the land empty and wasting the land.
Especially since Madam Ye had a weak body, it was impossible for her to farm. When farming was busy, no one had any spare hands.
“Sure, do as you see fit.” Madam Liu agreed. She thought for a while and stood up, “Madam Ye, talk to your mother properly. I’ll go back first.”
“Mother, take care.” Ye Muyu stood up to send her off.
When Madam Liu saw her follow her out, she turned around and saw Old
Woman Ye still looking around inside. She had a headache when she thought of Third Brother wanting to divorce Ye Madam.
Suddenly, she said with a hint, “Madam Ye, I’ve seen your recent changes.
Don’t… make Chu Heng angry.”
“Mother?” Ye Muyu did not know what she was doing.
She believed that she had no more conflicts with Chu Heng.
However…
Could it be Old Madam Ye?
Madam Liu nodded and left.
Before she left, she took another look at Chu An, Chu Lin, and the others.
Thinking about what Old Woman Ye had said just now, it was likely that it would not be pleasant to hear. The four people could not help but feel a grudge in their hearts. She had never liked to offend people. After thinking about it, she walked to the side of the wall that was being repaired.
“An’er, I see that the progress of the wall is very fast. I think it will be repaired in less than two days.” Madam Liu said with a smile.
Chu An stood up and saw that it was Madam Liu. He quickly greeted her, “Third Aunt, the progress of this wall is indeed fast. It will probably be completed by tomorrow night..”
