“Since you want to fix it, let the servants stay in the courtyard next door,” Ye Muyu asked.
“Madam, you are kind, but servants should behave like servants. How can they live in the master’s courtyard? This will make them too arrogant. In the future, they might get into trouble. If Madam really sympathizes with them, you can prepare more food for them.” Butler Luo suggested sincerely.
“Alright,” Ye Muyu understood and did not make things difficult for him. “Let’s add another dish.”
“Butler Luo, you can continue with your work.”
Ye Muyu saw that the house was being repaired, and Chu Heng brought Lil’ Jin to the school to visit the teacher to see if he could enter the school.
Ziluo also pulled Ling’er along to watch the show.
Ye Muyu looked at the sky and returned to the residence. She went to the side room in the backyard and called Madam Hu to start planting wood ears. She also asked someone to call Ling’er back.
Ling’er came back very quickly and arrived home in about 15 minutes.
Ye Muyu taught her how to plant wood ears.
Both of them were people who liked to do practical things and worked tirelessly. They just casually ate some lunch in the side room next to the wood ear room.
This process lasted around six hours.
Madam Hu was afraid that Ye Muyu would be tired, but she did not let anyone else interfere, saying that she was afraid of spoiling it.
She could only go to the kitchen to make some desserts.
The sky soon turned dark, but suddenly, a strong wind blew. Then, a clap of thunder sounded in the sky, and heavy rain immediately poured down.
Ye Muyu looked at the heavy rain and frowned. “Are there any umbrellas at home? I’ll go pick Chu Heng and the children.”
“Madam, It’s raining so heavily. What if you catch a cold when you go out? You haven’t recovered yet. Besides, there are servants like us. I’ll go and arrange it. Butler Luo will definitely have an umbrella.” Madam Hu hurriedly stopped him. She did not even dare to think about what Chu Heng’s reaction would be if she let Ye Muyu get drenched in the rain.
“Then I’ll go to the door and wait. The room here is almost done.”
Ye Muyu insisted on going, so Ling ‘er quickly said that she would stay.
She nodded and was helped to the front hall by Madam Hu.
On the other side, Butler Luo had already instructed someone to deliver the umbrella.
When he saw Ye Muyu, he quickly bowed. “Madam, I’ve already sent someone to deliver the umbrella. The carriage has also gone out. The carriage has been brushed with tung oil. There’s no need to worry about the rain leaking.”
Ye Muyu nodded. She saw the dirt on his hand from the corner of her eye and pointed at it. “Did your hands get dirty from renovating the servant’s room? What’s the situation?”
At the mention of this matter, Butler Luo was also a little scared. “Madam, you don’t know. Many of the beams in the servant’s room were eaten by bugs. When we went to dismantle them in the morning, they fell down directly.”
“It almost hit someone.”
“It’s not serious, right?”
“Madam, don’t worry. At that time, this old servant already felt that the beams were unstable, so I called for the servants. The craftsmen who were working were all further away, so the beams didn’t hit anyone. They only destroyed some of the stone slabs.” Butler Luo wiped the sweat off his forehead.
Ye Muyu was also glad.” That’s good. If something happens, it’s not good. It seems that you have to be careful when you renovate the house. You can take your time. There’s no hurry.”
“Yes, Madam.” After this incident, Butler Luo also felt that human lives were more important. If that beams fell on people, who knew how many lives would be lost?
“Has the room been renovated?”
“It’s been renovated. This old servant hired many people, so it was only delayed for a few hours when dismantling the beams. It’s not a big deal. Fortunately, it was done quickly. Otherwise, when the rain came, everything in the house would have been destroyed.” Butler Luo was sincerely glad.
Ye Muyu was also happy. With less trouble at home, she felt more comfortable. “Go to the kitchen and ask someone to make more ginger soup. Let everyone drink it so that they won’t catch a cold.”
