Chapter 69 - 69: Looking for Help
Chu Yongliang was only 16 years old. Hearing this, he felt that it was very strange.
Chu Lin did not understand what Ye Muyu meant.
Ye Muyu saw the four of them looking at her in confusion.
She took a broken bowl and smashed it into pieces. After gesturing to the four of them, he walked to the wall and stood on tiptoe to insert the broken tiles on it, revealing the sharp parts.
“Big Cousin, do you understand what I mean? The broken tiles should be embedded in the wall. If someone didn’t know and climbed the wall casually, they would definitely be injured.”
“Even 11 tney Knew mat cnere were DroKen pieces 01 porcuam on me wan, tney probably wouldn’t dare to climb the wall casually.”
“At least, if you want to enter the house, you can only go through the main door.”
Ye Muyu’s words made Chu Lin and Chu An’s eyes light up.
“Sister-in-law, this method is yours… Did you think of it?” Chu An looked at her in surprise.
Chu Yongliang praised her even more bluntly, “Sister-in-law, you’re too smart. Why didn’t I think of this before? I want to see if those thieves still dare to target our family in the future.”
Since ancient times, the world had always hated thieves without exception.
Chu Yongliang was complaining about the thief.
Suddenly, he heard the sound of a gong outside.
“What happened?” Chu Yongliang ran outside curiously, wanting to ask what had happened.
Chu An and Chu Lin were indifferent. Both of them had passed the age of watching the show. Now, they were thinking about how to do this job.
“Big Brother, if you need anything, just tell me. I’ll go buy some broken bowls first so that they can be embedded in the wall.”
“Sister-in-law, you can go ahead with your work. We don’t lack anything for the time being.”
Not only did Ye Muyu have to buy tiles, but she also had to buy lime.
She had already thought of these things and asked Chu Xing for help. He had a mule cart, so it was very convenient for him to buy these materials in the county.
Ye Muyu brought a bottle of rice wine and brown sugar to the fifth room.
“Fifth Aunt.” Ye Muyu walked to Chu Fengsheng’s house and happened to bump into Madam Qian walking out.
“Chu Heng’s wife? Why are you here?” Madam Qian was a little surprised to see Ye Muyu, but she quickly calmed down and pulled her in. She gossiped, “You don’t know, but there’s trouble outside again.”
“Didn’t the Li family say that they would send the thief to the authorities in the morning? Who knew that the thief seemed to have knocked out the Li family member and ran away.”
Ye Muyu’s heart skipped a beat when she heard that. This person had run away. He would not come back to her house, right?
“Did you catch him?”
“No, they’re all chasing after him now. The thief ran up the hill. We only have a small hill here, but it’s very difficult to walk.” Madam Qian was also worried. She could not help but say, “Sigh, that Li family can’t even look after a person properly. If we had known earlier, the clan leader would have insisted that we arrest that thief.’
It was useless for Ye Muyu to be anxious. With so many people chasing after the thief, she could only wait.
“Fifth Aunt, I’m here to ask Ah Xing to help me buy some materials from the county.”
“I wonder if Ah Xing is free now.”
“I heard that Zhenzhen had a cough some time ago. There’s a little brown sugar here. If you mixed it with some water for the child to drink, she would feel more comfortable.’
Ye Muyu took the opportunity to deliver the gift to Madam Qian.
When Madam Qian heard this, she understood that Ye Muyu had found an excuse to give her a gift. She did not want to offend Ye Muyu in the first place. Who asked Chu Heng to be the only elementary scholar in the entire clan? He might still be able to take the exam again.
Madam Qian was not stupid. There was no benefit in offending Ye Muyu, so she was naturally more sincere..
