Chapter 29 - Charcoal in the Snow

The Lee's said gratefully: ”Yue Mei, how can you be so embarrassed. You often send us other things.”

”Aunty, since we have these, we'll send some to you. If I don't have them, then I don't have them either.”

The Liu Clan had provided quite a bit of help during their most difficult times. It could be said that they had truly provided timely assistance.

When the few of them reached his doorstep, the Lee's said: ”Yue Mei, come in quickly, I'll go cook, and leave after eating.”

Liu Yue Mei knew that the Mo family's days were not going well, so she said: ”Aunt, I'll put down the dishes for you, then I'll have to go back, my mother is also cooking, and I think it will be ready soon, I have to go back quickly.”

Lee's didn't want to do anything. She often sent some to her own house and it was already embarrassing, so she had to stay for a meal no matter what.

”Yue Mei, listen to aunt, leave behind the place to eat, I'm going to go cook now, you and Xiao Yan play a bit first.”

Mo Xiao Yan also said, ”That's right, Big Sis Yue Mei, you can stay for the meal and head back. It's the same no matter where you eat, come play with me.”

Liu Yue Mei saw that Mo Xiao Yan and Mrs Liu had kept him there already, so it would not be good if she talked about it later.

”Xiao Yan, what have you been doing at home?” Liu Yue Mei asked.

Mo Xiao Yan smiled and said: ”It's nothing much, let's just continue playing.”

”Then you can come and play with me if you're bored. I'm pretty much done with my work at home, so I've been free for the past few days.”

”Sister Yue Mei, why didn't you learn embroidery?” Mo Xiao Yan asked.

Liu Yue Mei didn't seem to know about this yet. ”Where did you learn this? ”I only know a little about embroidery. I also want to find a master to learn from, and in the future, I can help out the family.”

”It's in the Chen family. It started a few days ago and was taught for free. A lot of people from the village went there.” Mo Xiao Yan said.

When Liu Yue Mei heard that it was a matter of a few days ago, she said, ”My parents and I were working in the fields a few days ago. We were busy for a few days, so we did not know about it.”
