Coincidentally, Li Wazi and his family came by, and they met at the door. Liu Lius.h.i.+ held onto Liu Ran and they stepped aside, allowing them through.

Ye Liu walked towards them, greeting Li Wazi’s family before speaking to Liu Lius.h.i.+, “Mrs. Liu, we’re looking for casual workers at the moment. You’re welcome to stay if you’re willing to work.”

Liu Lius.h.i.+ stopped in her tracks and looked over at Liu Duo. She thought it was Liu Duo’s idea. But Liu Duo merely shot a look at Liu Ran and continued her conversation with Little Lian, teasing Little Huzi too.

Ye Liu added, amid the silence, “Rest a.s.sured, the wages will be paid fairly.”

Aunt Li looked at Ye Liu and the guests at the door. She asked Liu Duo, “Dear, are the woman and the child there your mother and little brother?”

Liu Duo nodded, not denying the fact, “Previously, yes.”

Aunt Li noted that Liu Duo didn’t want to talk about it, so she didn’t probe. Instead, she began to keep busy by peeling the bamboo shoots.

Li Wazi and Ye Ling talked quietly between themselves, “Ling, what’s going on with Liu Duo’s mother?”

Ye Ling looked over at Ye Liu and the two still chatting by the door. Ye Liu was dominating the conversation, and Liu Lius.h.i.+ listened for the most part.

“Her mother and brother ran away from home. They want to live alone, saying they’re moving out…” He told Li Wazi everything that Liu Ran had told them, details included.

He also mentioned how the two of them wanted to stay there.

But, judging by how easily Ye Mo could throw a temper, Li Wazi didn’t think he would approve.

“What’s Liu asking her?”

Ye Ling shot another look at the door and shook his head, “I wouldn’t know.”

He really didn’t know Ye Liu was persuading Liu Lius.h.i.+ to work for them.

Finally, Liu Lius.h.i.+ gave Liu Ran some instructions, and left.

Liu Ran watched his mother leave, before asking Ye Liu, “Brother, did Sis agree to this? Letting us stay?”

Ye Liu knelt down and patted his head, smiling, “Of course! She’s your sister. She’s especially obedient, and she wouldn’t say no to me!”

Liu Ran merely blinked, not truly believing him, “Is that true?”

“Of course! You can bet on it!” Ye Liu didn’t feel bad about lying to a kid. The truth was, he wouldn’t dare say no to her!

He got up and took Liu Ran’s hand and brought him back into the yard.

“Little Duo, I told her that we’re willing to take her in to do casual work. She’s going back to inform her husband, in case he doesn’t know where to look for them,” he reported to her.

Ye Ling was quite happy to hear that. This way, Liu Lius.h.i.+ and her son had a place to stay. Li Wazi’s family remained silent, offering no opinion.

Liu Duo nodded and responded with a ‘sure’, and nothing else.

She was actually quite conflicted. She didn’t want to agree with Ye Liu to let them work, but at the same time, she was worried they had nowhere to go. Moreover, how would Grandmother Liu agree to them moving out? When she knew where they were staying, she would probably come wreak havoc again, and Liu Duo didn’t want that!

Liu Ran looked at her, not sure if she was glad or mad. He just felt that his sister, who he hadn’t seen in months, had changed a lot.

Villagers selling bamboo shoots came and went. Liu Duo resumed her work with the accounts and payment. Ye Liu and Li Wazi got busy too.

Liu Ran diligently went to help to peel the bamboo shoots. Ye Ling allowed him to play by the side, but he refused. He really wanted to help with the work.
