Ye Muyu thought about it and agreed.

“Xiao Jin, come to the kitchen too.”

Ye Muyu was worried that Chu Jin would run away in the blink of an eye. Although the thief had been running away after being discovered and the area around her house was safe, Chu Jin was still only five years old and mischievous. She would not be at ease if he did not appear in front of her.

Ye Muyu entered the kitchen.

The rice in the pot was ready.

She scooped up the rice, washed the pot, filled it with water, and planned to boil some rice wine.

Apart from that, she also took out the tea at home.

She sniffed it and found that it was just ordinary tea. It was meant to entertain the villagers who helped her. She did not have time to slowly brew the tea. She directly poured the appropriate amount of tea leaves into the tea pot and let it be.

Not long after, Ye Muyu heard a sound outside the courtyard.

She quickly walked out of the kitchen.

Madam Liu was followed by Madam Zhang and Madam Wang.

Apart from that, even the daughter-in-law of the clan leader, Madam Cao, and the eldest daughter-in-law, Madam Zheng, had come.

The eldest daughter-in-law of the second branch of the Chu family, Madam Wang had also come over. She pulled Ye Muyu’s hand and said, “Sister-in-law, I’m sorry. My mother-in-law has caught a cold for the past two days. She was afraid that you guys would catch it too, so she called me to come over.”

“Sister-in-law, are you okay? Did the thief steal anything?”

“Don’t worry, my Chunsheng, Chu Lin, Chu Cai, and the other young men in the clan have all gone to chase after the thief. We must catch him and hand him over to the authorities.” Madam Wang’s husband, Chu Chunsheng, was the eldest son of the second branch. He was older than Chu Lin.

Madam Liu also walked over. Seeing that Ye Muyu’s expression was calm and not panicking and that there was no chaos in the courtyard, she let out a sigh of relief.

“Let’s talk inside first,” Madam Liu said.

Madam Cao and Madam Liu were sisters-in-law, so Madam Liu welcomed them into the central room.

Ye Muyu turned around and went into the kitchen. She picked up the teapot and Chu Ziluo followed her into the hall with a clean teacup.

Although Ziluo was only eight years old, an eight-year-old girl had to pay attention to her reputation. Therefore, Ye Muyu was not stingy with letting her child appear when receiving guests. A well-behaved, sensible, and virtuous reputation was especially important to a girl.

Since Ye Muyu was familiar with the customs of this era, she couldn’t avoid them.

“Mother, First Aunt, Sisters-in-law, have some tea first.’

Ye Muyu and Chu Ziluo poured tea for everyone.

Only then did she sit down.

Everyone was waiting for her to tell them what was going on.

Madam Wang could not help but ask, “Sister-in-law, what happened? When I heard that there were thieves in the village, I was worried that my house would be robbed as well.”

“I’m not too sure about the exact situation. I was just about to go out to pick some vegetables when I opened the courtyard door and saw a shadow.”

“I saw that the other party’s figure didn’t look familiar to me, so I subconsciously closed the courtyard door.”

“Who knew that the other party would rush over and push the door open.” “Normal villagers wouldn’t do this.”

“I was worried that something would happen to the two children, so I called Ziluo out and handed me a shovel. When the person rushed in, I knocked him on the head.”

“I don’t know what’s going on.”

“Later, the Lin family heard the commotion and chased after the thief.”

Ye Muyu coughed a few times.

“Are you alright?” Madam Liu knew that her third daughter-in-law was not in good health. Because of this, she was biased toward Madam Ye.

Ye Muyu shook her head gently. “Mother, I’m fine. Don’t worry..”
