PWDLAW Chapter 69: Seeking Help

 Chapter 69: Seeking Help

Chu Yongliang was only sixteen years old and upon hearing Ye Muyu's words, he found it quite fascinating. Chu Lin also didn't understand Ye Muyu's intention. Seeing the puzzled looks from the four men, Ye Muyu took a broken bowl, smashed it and gestured towards them. Then, she walked to the courtyard wall, tiptoed, and inserted the broken tiles at sharp angles on top of the wall. "Elder brother, do you understand what I mean? These broken tiles are embedded in the wall. If someone doesn't know and tries to climb the wall, getting injured is inevitable." "Even if they know about the broken tiles on the wall, they probably wouldn't dare to climb it recklessly." "At least if they want to enter the house they can only do so through the main gate." Ye Muyu's words instantly enlightened Chu Lin and Chu An. "Sister-in-law, did you come up with this idea yourself?" Chu An asked, looking at her with astonishment. Chu Yongliang praised her without reservation, "Sister-in-law, you're so smart. Why didn't I think of this before? I should use this method at our house. It'll make those thieves think twice about targeting us." Throughout history, people have always despised thieves without exception. As Chu Yongliang complained about the thief, a gong sounded from outside. "What's going on?" Chu Yongliang, curious, ran outside to inquire about the situation. Chu An and Chu Lin were indifferent. They were past the age of being interested in such commotions and were thinking about how to proceed with the work. "Elder brother, if there's anything you need just tell me. I'll go buy some broken bowls first which will be convenient to embed in the wall." "Sister-in-law, you go ahead we don't need anything for now." Ye Muyu not only needed to buy tiles but also lime and other materials. She had planned to seek help from Chu Xing who had a mule cart making it convenient to buy these materials in the country. Ye Muyu had brought a pot of rice wine and red sugar to the fifth household. "Aunt Five." Ye Muyu reached the entrance of Chu Fengsheng's house and coincidentally met Qian coming out. "Chu Heng's wife? Why did you come over?" Qian was surprised to see Ye Muyu, but her surprise only lasted for a moment. She quickly hid her emotions and pulled Ye Muyu inside, gossiping with her, "You don't know, there's been another incident outside." "Didn't the Li family say they were going to send that thief to report to the officials this morning? Who knew that the thief seems to have knocked out the Li family members and escaped." Upon hearing this, Ye Muyu's heart skipped a beat. If the thief had escaped would he come to her house again? "Did they catch him?" "No, everyone has gone to chase him. The thief ran towards the mountain but it's difficult to traverse. We don't know the situation." Qian was also worried and said "The Li family is also careless. They can't even watch a person properly. If the clan leader insisted, we should have caught that thief long ago." There was nothing Ye Muyu could do if everyone was already chasing after the thief. She could only wait anxiously. She quickly explained her purpose, "Aunt Five, I came to ask Ah Xing for help to go to the county to buy some materials." "I don't know if Ah Xing is free now." "I heard that Jingjing has been coughing a bit lately. Here's a bit of red sugar. Mix it for the child to drink and it'll be more comforting for her." Ye Muyu handed the gift to Qian. Hearing this, Qian understood. She didn't want to offend Ye Muyu, especially since the entire clan was counting on Chu Heng to pass the imperial examination and there might be more chances for success in the future. Qian wasn't stupid she knew that offending Ye Muyu would bring her no benefits. Thus, she sincerely became more accommodating.
