PWDLAW Chapter 68: Repairing the Courtyard Wall

 Chapter 68: Repairing the Courtyard Wall

If someone is both sensitive and spoiled, losing favor can inevitably lead to resentment and even hatred. Ye Muyu smiled as she watched the two children. Although Chu Jin was mischievous, he had an open-minded personality and wouldn't hold grudges. Chu Ziluo, despite being sensitive, tended to overthink things due to her spoiled upbringing. However, fundamentally kind people with sensitive hearts tend to grow healthily without needing explicit guidance. With the children's issues resolved, Ye Muyu felt a weight lifted from her heart. Early the next morning, Ye Muyu got up. After having breakfast and washing the dishes, she heard shouts outside the courtyard. "Brother and sister, we've come to help you repair the courtyard wall!" Chu Ziluo quickly ran to the courtyard gate and opened it, cheerfully shouting, "Uncle, eldest cousin, Maogen, Yongliang." These individuals were either Chu Heng's brothers or cousins and they had regular interactions. Hearing Chu Ziluo's clear voice, they all smiled and respond "Ziluo, is your mother at home?" "Mother is at home." Chu Ziluo welcomed the four inside. Ye Muyu, carrying a pot of tea came out. There were already chairs placed in the yard. Seeing Chu Lin and the others, Ye Muyu poured tea for them. "Eldest brother, eldest cousin, Maogen, Yongliang, please have some tea first." "How should we repair this wall? I, as a woman, don't understand. I'll trouble you all." Ye Muyu said. The four men picked up the teacups and took a sip. They were pleasantly surprised by the excellent tea. Even if it was purchased, it would cost one or two wen per liang. Ye Muyu was willing to use good tea. The men were all very pleased. Chu An was somewhat surprised. He had heard about Ye from Ye Muyu's reputation and it was definitely not generous. Therefore, he was a bit skeptical and looked at Chu Lin. Chu Lin's surprise was directly revealed in his eyes. Seeing this, Chu An thought that Ye's generosity today caught Chu Lin, the elder brother, off guard. "This was originally our responsibility. Sister-in-law, rest assured." Chu An spoke up, smiling casually. Chu Lin suppressed his internal doubts and nodded along, "I just don't know, Sister-in-law how high do you plan to build the wall?" Ye Muyu had thought about this issue long ago. The courtyard was only slightly higher than her, about 1.7 meters. Even a big man like Chu Heng standing outside the wall could see inside. She didn't feel safe. "I plan to build it up to three feet." Three feet was approximately one meter. Adding one more meter would already be quite high. Chu An shook his head "Sister-in-law, that won't work. Although Hengdi has military merits, the wall cannot exceed six feet." Ye Muyu hadn't expected this issue. She recalled that there were indeed cases in the Chu Code where the height of the courtyard wall was not set according to the rules. She hadn't had time to read it all and didn't know. Realizing that she had almost violated a taboo again, Ye Muyu became more determined to finish reading the Chu Code. She couldn't make such decisions without knowing the rules. "Thanks for the reminder eldest cousin. Then it will be six feet." Six feet was already two meters. In the countryside, she hadn't seen anyone taller than two meters. The thief from yesterday, judging by appearances was not over 1.8 meters. "Okay." Chu An nodded. Chu Lin added, "Sister-in-law, it will probably take four or five days to repair this wall since the project is not large." Because the project was not extensive, it wouldn't take much time. Ye Muyu nodded. "But, eldest brother, eldest cousin, I plan to put ceramic tiles on top of the wall." "Ceramic tiles? On top of the wall?"
