Ye Mingzhu transmigrated to become a low-status pearl diver. She had no parents, only a young brother, and was without food, drink, or land.
Fortunately, the heavens granted her a golden fing...
Chapter 150 Preparing to Return to the Village
Jiang Hongyu just nodded and walked into the yard first.
Ye Mingzhu couldn't ignore them. She stood at the back and waited until they entered the yard before she smiled and said, "Sister Lotus, haven't you rested yet?"
He Hua walked up to Ye Mingzhu and sighed, "Sister Jiang, you don't know, my aunt's family has a lot of work to do, and I don't have time to rest."
Ye Mingzhu originally thought that the little girl was quite smart, but after hearing this she just thought she was stupid. How could she complain about her aunt to outsiders?
Besides, she has been here for so long, and has only recently started doing some work. If it is really like she said, she is so busy with work that she has no time to rest, then how would she have the time to come out and stroll around.
Ye Mingzhu just smiled, pretending not to hear, nodded, and was about to go in.
He Hua blocked the door: "Sister Jiang, I have something I want to trouble you with."
Ye Mingzhu frowned secretly, but couldn't show it on her face. She just asked, "What's the matter?"
Lotus blushed: "Can we go inside and talk?"
Ye Mingzhu didn't know what she was going to say, but it was no use stopping her outside, so she could only welcome her into the house, but didn't let her go inside.
"There are male guests at home, so it's not convenient to bring my sister in. If you have anything to say, let's talk here."
"Sister Jiang, I saw that the embroidery on your clothes is very nice, and I want to learn from you."
That's it? What's there to be ashamed of?
Ye Mingzhu didn't know how Lotus's head looked.
"The embroidery on my clothes is not done by me. Some of it was done by my mother-in-law, and some was purchased ready-made. You must have found the wrong person," Ye Mingzhu said, the smile on her face fading a lot, almost disappearing. "My mother-in-law is in poor health and doesn't embroider much anymore. If you want to learn, you can go to the embroidery workshop and ask."
He Hua's face turned pale: "Sister Jiang, my family is not doing well. I want to learn some sewing so that I can help support my family in the future."
Hehua looked pitiful. If it were someone else, they might feel sorry for her, but the person in front of her was Ye Mingzhu.
Ye Mingzhu just felt that she was like the little white lotus in the TV series, and she wanted to get rid of her immediately, so how could she feel pity for her?
"I'm so sorry, Sister Lotus, I don't know how to sew. You should go back and ask your aunt."
Hehua was stunned. She didn't expect Ye Mingzhu to say that.
Not to mention that they know how to sew, even if they don't, they wouldn't dare to admit it. It's rare to see someone as straightforward as Ye Mingzhu.
While Hehua was silent, Ye Mingzhu pushed her out, saying that she had been out and about for the whole morning and still had a lot of work to do at home.
Hehua was not as strong as her, and was pushed out in a few moves.
Ye Mingzhu closed the door, breathed a sigh of relief, and walked into the house.
Hehua was stamping her feet outside. When she saw the Jiang family coming back with so many things, she guessed that they were bought by the two new young masters. She was even more excited and wanted to show off in front of the two young masters, but she didn't expect Ye Mingzhu to not give her the chance.
She glared at the Jiang family without giving up, and went home to think of a solution.
Ye Mingzhu thought that Hehua had gone back and the matter was over, but she didn't expect that Hehua would come again before dinner, holding a handkerchief in her hand, and said that she wanted to see Aunt Jiang to look at the color matching.
Ye Mingzhu said that Aunt Jiang was not feeling well and was lying in bed, so she sent her away.
The next day, He Hua came knocking on the door and said she wanted to take Ye Mingzhu out to buy the freshest vegetables. Ye Mingzhu said that there was enough food at home and she didn't want to buy any more.
In the afternoon, Hehua brought over a white radish, saying that she had bought too many and was giving it to them. Ye Mingzhu couldn't refuse, so she returned a plate of pears.
On the third day, Hehua said that there was a tofu stall at the corner of the street, and it was very fresh. She wanted to ask Ye Mingzhu to go buy some together, but Ye Mingzhu said that her family didn't like tofu.
In the afternoon, Hehua came knocking on the door again, but Ye Mingzhu simply ignored it, pretending that no one was home.
Yu Jiaming looked at it with amusement, but said nothing.
Ever since He Hua came several times, Ye Mingzhu's face became more and more ugly. It's not that she doesn't want to deal with her neighbors.
But she was really annoyed by this little girl with ulterior motives. She couldn't hit her or scold her, and there was really no other way except to avoid her.
Aunt Jiang looked at Ye Mingzhu's worried look and shook her head: "Why don't we go home and stay for a few days? Hehua can't stay at her aunt's house forever. Maybe she can go back in a few days."
Ye Mingzhu glanced at Yu Jiaming and Xiaowu. If these two people left, He Hua probably wouldn't come.
Yu Jiaming looked at the sky and Xiaowu looked at the ground, neither of them spoke.
Ye Mingzhu thought for a moment and said, "Why don't we go back? I haven't been home for a long time and I'm a little homesick."
Yu Jiaming looked over immediately and said, "If you want to go back to your hometown, I'll go with you."
Ye Mingzhu didn't say anything and looked at Jiang Hongyu.
Jiang Hongyu smiled and said, "My hometown is simple, I'm afraid it's not convenient to host you."
Yu Jiaming waved his hand: "It's okay, it's okay, we can live anywhere."
Jiang Hongyu: ...
Xiao Wu looked towards the next door and said, "Brother Yu, we always cause trouble for you when we live here."
Yu Jiaming wanted to say it was not necessary, but when he thought about He Hua coming here for three meals a day, he felt a little annoyed.
Ye Mingzhu saw that Yu Jiaming and the others were determined to go back to their hometown with them, but she still wanted to give it a try.
"Our home is in the village, close to the sea, and it's a bit damp this season."
Unexpectedly, when the two heard this, their eyes lit up: "The seaside is great, we haven't seen the sea yet."
Ye Mingzhu:...You seem to have forgotten how we met?
Jiang Hongyu was a little worried: "I still have to be on duty, so I can't accompany you."
Xiao Wu waved his hand nonchalantly: "It's okay, we'll live with Brother Ye. I heard that the Ye family and the Jiang family are next to each other, so no one will talk about it this way."
They have been living with Ye Yun'an for the past few days, and have inadvertently asked many questions, and have already gained a preliminary understanding of Yuanshan Village.
Ye Mingzhu glanced at Ye Yun'an next to him. Ye Yun'an chuckled. He was just chatting with Brother Xiaowu, but he didn't know that Brother Xiaowu wanted to live in his house.
However, from then on, he kept his mouth shut and others rarely got any news from him, which could be considered a blessing in disguise.
No one had any reason to refuse.
Aunt Jiang listened to the younger generation talking, and when she saw that they had settled down, she said, "Then let's go back tomorrow."
Jiang Hongyu lowered his eyes slightly. "I'll go see if Uncle Tiezhu has come to town today. I'll ask him to tell Uncle Yan to pick you up tomorrow. I'll take half a day off tomorrow to take you there."
When Aunt Jiang heard this, she just nodded and said yes, then stood up and said she was going to pack up.
Ye Mingzhu also stood up with a smile: "I'll go clean up too."
Jiang Hongyu stood up and said, "Please take a seat first. I'll go find someone from our village and get a car to pick you up tomorrow."
Xiao Wu watched Jiang Hongyu leave with surprise in his eyes: "Yun An said that their village relies on pearl diving and fishing for a living. I didn't expect that their village also has horse carriages."
Yu Jiaming frowned slightly, he always felt that the few people left too quickly.
Jiang Hongyu came back after half an hour and handed the things he bought to Ye Mingzhu, and said that Uncle Yan would pick them up at 9 o'clock.
Xiaowu was full of anticipation for the next day's trip until he saw Uncle Yan and the car.
