“Old Guo, you can’t bring outsiders in.” A man anxiously reminded him.

Old Guo’s body trembled. He was afraid that the new owner would be angry. “Old Nie, hurry up and kneel to greet the master. This is the new owner.”

“New… New owner…” The man called Old Nie quickly knelt.

The other long-term workers at the side were so frightened that they knelt.

Ye Muyu could tell that they were afraid of their boss.

Soon, the other long-term workers also heard the news and rushed over.

They all knelt and bowed.

At a glance, there were more than a hundred people. They were all emaciated. Their tanned faces were filled with deep wrinkles. Their hands and feet were rough. The amount of elderly, women, and children were evenly distributed.

It turned out that the whole family that Old Guo had mentioned were these long-term workers who basically had their whole family with them.

“You are Manager Luo Tian?” Chu Heng looked at a man who was dressed slightly more neatly. However, he was still dressed very thinly. It could be seen that the entire village was not having a good time.

“Master, I am Luo Tian.”

“Let everyone go back to work first. Come over and talk,” Chu Heng ordered.

“Yes, Master.” Luo Tian nodded quickly.

He quickly called the others to continue working. Old Guo was originally the gatekeeper, so he subconsciously followed the others back.

“Old Guo, wait a minute!” Ye Muyu called out to him.

“Madam.” Old Guo quickly walked over respectfully.

“Bring me around the estate,” Ye Muyu said.

“Ah Yu, aren’t you going to ask Luo Tian?” Chu Heng stopped in his tracks.

“I want to see the situation in the estate first. Have a talk with Luo Tian first. I’ll be back in a while,” Ye Muyu explained gently.

“Alright.” Chu Heng thought that Luo Tian was the most familiar with the specific situation of this estate.. He had to ask clearly before he could be at ease.

He called Han Zhuang to follow Ye Muyu before leaving.

“Take us to the place where you grow vegetables.” Ye Muyu ordered.

Old Guo did not dare to hesitate. Even though he was so afraid that he was trembling as he walked, he still led her forward.

Old Madam Ye and Ye Dejiang followed, glancing around from time to time.

Ziluo’s hand was also being held by Old Woman Ye. She was worried about her niece going alone.

Soon, they arrived at a slope.

There were low earthen wall houses nearby. Not only were they small in size, but they were also quite short. Ye Muyu seemed to be able to walk in just in time. If it were Chu Heng’s height, he would definitely have to bend over to enter.

“Are you guys living in these houses?” Ye Muyu hesitated for a moment before asking.

Different from the large courtyard they had passed by earlier, these earthen walls did not seem like a place for humans to live in.

“Madam, we usually live inside.”

Ye Muyu frowned and walked over.

Old Guo was so frightened that he frowned. “Madam, if there’s anything you’re not satisfied with, we’ll change it immediately. These rooms are very dirty. Don’t go in.”

“Let me see. Don’t talk too much.” Ye Muyu had long realized that if she said gentle words, the other party would only be more afraid. On the contrary, he would be very calm when she gave orders.

Ye Muyu walked to the mud wall and realized that her estimation was right. The ceiling was indeed about the same height as her. There was only a wooden bed with some rags and straw on it. It was winter, and these things were not enough to keep out the cold.

“You’ve been living here all these years. How did you survive the winter?” Old Madam Ye was a little surprised after seeing it and could not help but ask.
