 Chapter 63: Everyone's Here

After some consideration, Ye Muyu agreed. "Jin, come to the kitchen as well." she called out, worried that Chu Jin might run out again. Although the immediate vicinity was now safe since the thief had been discovered, Chu Jin was only five years old, mischievous, and Ye Muyu couldn't rest easy without him by her side. Ye Muyu entered the kitchen. The rice in the pot was already cooked. She scooped up the rice, washed the pot and filled it with water intending to make some rice wine. In addition, she took out the tea she had at home. Sniffing it, she confirmed it was just ordinary tea, something to serve the villagers who had come to help. She didn't have time to brew it slowly, so she poured a suitable amount of tea leaves into the teapot and let it steep. Before long, Ye Muyu heard voices outside. She quickly walked out of the kitchen. Zhang, and Wang accompanied Mrs. Chu Liushi. In addition, even the wife of the clan leader, Cao, and his eldest daughter-in-law, Zhang, had also arrived. From the second family of the Chu household came Wang, the eldest daughter-in-law of the second family. As soon as she arrived, she grabbed Ye Muyu's hand and said, "Sister-in-law, I'm sorry. My mother-in-law has caught a cold these past few days and I was afraid of infecting you, so this inexperienced person was sent over." "Sister-in-law, are you okay? Did the thief steal anything?" "Don't worry my husband Chu Cai, along with Lin and from our family, and those young ones from the clan, have all gone to chase the thief. We're determined to catch him and hand him over to the authorities." Chu Liushi also approached, saw that Ye Muyu's expression was calm, without panic and observed that the courtyard was in order. It seemed that nothing major had happened, which relieved her. "Let's talk inside first," Chu Liushi suggested. Cao, who was the sister-in-law of Chu Liushi, walked ahead and entered the main hall. Ye Muyu turned around and entered the kitchen, lifted the teapot and behind her, Chu Ziluo carried cleaned tea cups, following into the main hall. Although Chu Ziluo  was only eight years old, girls of this age had to pay attention to their reputation. Therefore, Ye Muyu didn't hesitate to let the child appear when receiving guests, fostering a reputation for being obedient, sensible, and virtuous, which was especially important for a girl. Since Ye Muyu was familiar with the customs of this era, she couldn't afford to be unconventional. "Mom, Aunt-in-law, and all sisters-in-law, please have some tea." Ye Muyu, along with Chu Ziluo, poured tea for everyone. As soon as they sat down, everyone was eagerly waiting for her to explain the situation. Impatiently, Wang asked, "Sister-in-law, what exactly happened? You might not know, but when I heard that there was a thief in the village, I was anxious, afraid that our house had also been stolen." "I'm not very clear about the specific situation. Later in the evening, I had just finished cooking dinner and was planning to pick some vegetables. As soon as I opened the courtyard door, I saw a shadow." "I saw that the figure didn't look familiar to me, so instinctively I closed the courtyard door." "Who knows, the other party pounced and pushed the door. Normal villagers wouldn't do that." "I was worried that the two children might be in danger, so I called Ziluo to come out and handed her an iron shovel. When the person rushed in, I struck them on the head." "I don't know what happened after that." "Later, the Lin family next door heard the commotion and went to chase the thief." After Ye Muyu finished speaking, she couldn't help but cough lightly. "Are you okay?" Chu Liushi, aware of her third daughter-in-law's frailty, favored her because of it. Ye Muyu shook her head gently. "Mom, I'm fine. Don't worry."
