 Chapter 66: Attitude

"Mom, I'd like to hire someone tomorrow to raise the height of the courtyard wall. I don't know if anyone in the family has time. If not I'll find some laborers." Ye Muyu thanked Chu Liushi for her concern and shared her well-thought-out plan. The house was good but the courtyard wall was too low especially after hearing from Chu Xing that someone had been lurking. These past few days with rain, footprints could now be seen. If not for this it would be difficult to notice footprints and that would be dangerous. Chu Liushi was somewhat surprised that she had thought about it in advance showing that she had a clear understanding. If it were before, Ye Yunlan would probably not think about these things beyond cursing. Ye Muyu being sensible, made Chu Liushi look even more highly upon her. "I think your eldest brother is available lately. I'll ask him to help you. As for others, I see that your eldest uncle's Chu An and the fourth room's Maogen and Yongliang probably need some money, so they should be willing to come. With four people, is that enough?" Chu Liushi analyzed, helping her think it through. Ye Muyu counted on her fingers. Two people could help transport the sand and gravel needed and two could be responsible for masonry. It might be slow but it would be enough. She nodded "That's enough." "Mom, I'm planning to pay each person thirty wen a day but I'll only provide lunch. I don't know if that's acceptable." Ye Muyu was not stingy but she realized that her body couldn't handle much strain. She had many plans for earning money and didn't want to overexert herself. After all, the medical standards in this era were not high and preserving her health was crucial. Without good health, everything else would be in vain and she didn't want to spend the latter part of her life bedridden. "Thirty wen, if it only includes lunch that's more than enough. You can consider reducing it a bit more." Chu Liushi didn't know how much money she had left but she hinted, "You should keep some silver. I will talk to Ah Xing and Ah Heng about this building repair and he will take care of it." Ye Muyu had already been considering what kind of lunch would be appropriate. Suddenly hearing this, she couldn't help but feel a bit suspicious. Chu Liushi was her mother-in-law and she should be more inclined towards Chu Heng. How could she turn to her side and even ask her son for money to repair the house? Moreover, it seemed that she didn't think her son wouldn't be able to provide it. Yet, she hadn't felt any insincerity from Chu Liushi. Ye Muyu had no idea that Chu Liushi had good manners. Although she didn't like the previous Ye Yunlan very much, this time with her son suddenly coming back and saying he wanted a divorce, combined with the trouble caused by the eldest daughter, her personality had changed drastically. She became more understanding. Seeing Ye Yunlan being sensible today, she felt satisfied. Unconsciously, she considered this for her. The key point was that she hadn't felt any insincerity from Chu Liushi. Ye Muyu, who knew nothing about this analyzed that Chu Liushi had good manners and it was hard to be unsatisfied. Besides, it was probably because Chu Liushi felt sorry for her due to the recent changes in her personality and health. But Ye Muyu didn't know that Chu Liushi felt sorry for her because of Chu Heng. In addition, Ye Muyu was sensible today making Chu Liushi even more satisfied. Unconsciously, she asked her to consider it. Ye Muyu thought about it for a moment but didn't object. The family affairs were something that her husband, as the head of the household should know. Since she was a married woman, there was no need to resist too hard. However, regarding the wages, she insisted, "Mom, thirty wen is just a little more than a catty of meat. It's not much. The main thing is, if you hire laborers for twenty-five wen, they might not be meticulous in their work and it's hard to say." "If you invite relatives and friends, you should give a little more. It can also repay their sincerity. Besides, I want our family members to know that I'm willing to genuinely help those who help me. I won't shortchange them."
