Leaving Liu Jin behind, Wufu wasn't worried about an extra person meaning an extra bowl and chopsticks, but her concern was about the living arrangements.
The house they were currently living in only had two rooms, a main room where Wufu and Madam Zhou stayed, and a former firewood shed, which had been cleaned up for Hongyu to live in. Now with Liu Jin's arrival, a boy no less and at the age of seven, where would he stay?
It was common knowledge that boys and girls over the age of seven should not share a seat, and although the rules weren't so strict in a farmer's household, it still wasn't appropriate for males and females to reside together, plus they were not blood-related siblings.
In the end, they decided to have Hongyu stay in the main room for the time being and let Liu Jin live in the firewood shed.
