Chapter 18: Ch. 9 Part 2
" I told mother that I was going take a walk with fifth brother, so no one knows that we came here " she answered shyly fidgeting with the hem of the hanfu she wore.
" eldest sister-law please let us help you " they both pleaded which Xiao Ling didn’t know whether to laugh or cry and he couldn’t refuse their help with the anticipation showing on their faces
" okay, Yue was sweeping when she stopped so little sister can continue where she left.... and fifth brother can help me take the chairs and table to the well " they both became happy when they got Xiao Ling’s permission to help.
YanZhi walked into the house to see Xiangzhi and Chuntao working while holding a bunch of wood boards which he intend to fix the rooftop with using the trees he cut down,
" Xiang Gong you’re back " Xiao Ling happily welcomed as he and Xiangzhi were carrying a table to the back...
" Hm " was his short reply to him and he laid the boards down
" eldest brother " both Xiangzhi and Chuntao called embarrassedly and he nodded to them.
" where is Yue? " he asked
" I sent her to grandma Shen " YanZhi nodded in understanding when Xiao Ling replied.
