Chapter 155 What is this

The two returned home, changed their clothes, washed up briefly, and then lay down to sleep, hardly disturbing anyone else.

The next morning, Jiang Hongyu went to the town to be on duty again. There were still two days before his day off.

Uncle Ye and his wife came to the Jiang family early in the morning. Seeing that Ye Mingzhu was safe, they both looked very relieved.

Uncle Ye didn't stay long and left early, saying that he had to go buy pearls. Fang stayed at home with Aunt Jiang who was making clothes.

When Fang learned that Aunt Jiang had made Ye Yun'an's clothes, her smile deepened: "Mingzhu really married into a good family. Not only her, but also Yun'an's life is much better now than before."

Aunt Jiang wiped the needle on her head and said, "Third Aunt, look at what you said. I am Mingzhu's mother-in-law, so I am the same as my own daughter. Yun'an is young and respectful to me. I treat him as my youngest son."

Fang nodded: "I have known for a long time that you have a good temper. Mingzhu really did not marry the wrong person. Mingzhu and Yun'an are living a good life now. Second brother and his wife should rest assured in the grave."

Aunt Jiang only nodded. Fang leaned closer to her and continued, "Sister-in-law, don't go collecting herbs these days. The village has been a bit chaotic lately. They're always asking around for outsiders who have returned from the sea."

"Mingzhu came back from the sea yesterday. Did you find anything? But make sure they don't find you."

Aunt Jiang knew that Ye Mingzhu and Jiang Hongyu went out to sea last night, but they didn’t say anything today, so she probably didn’t encounter any problems.

"I'm old now, and I don't go up the mountain anymore. I don't ask about my son and daughter-in-law's affairs. As long as they are happy, that's all I want."

The meaning is very clear, I don’t know and it’s no use asking me.

Fang paused, then she curled her lips and smiled: "Yes, as long as the child is happy, we will be relieved."

She didn't have any bad intentions, she was just curious.

Ever since Ye Mingzhu got married, she seemed like a different person. Her luck was getting better and better. Not only did she collect corals, but she was also able to live in the town. She felt that Ye Mingzhu would always discover something when she went to the sea.

Ye Mingzhu was washing clothes at the time and listened to the conversation between Fang and Aunt Jiang. She originally thought they were just chatting, but she didn't expect that Third Aunt came to inquire about the news.

She hung the clothes in her hands on the line, poured the washing water into the corner of the wall, and then walked over with a smile.

"Aunt San, what on earth is in the sea that warrants so many people coming here?"

Fang waved her hand and said, "I haven't been to the sea, so how would I know? It's just that those people are watching the sea every day, and some people say that there are treasures in the sea."

Ye Mingzhu put the basin away and sneered, "Aunt San, we've lived in Yuanshan Village for so long and have never heard of any treasures. How did those outsiders know about it?"

Fang choked. How would she know this information? She was just asking casually.

Ye Mingzhu tilted her head and looked at her with a smile on her face: "Aunt San, do you and Uncle San know?"

Fang quickly waved her hand: "I am just a woman, how could I know these things? I even heard about the treasures in the sea from the villagers."

Ye Mingzhu nodded: "It seems that Aunt San's pickled fish has not been selling well recently."

Fang couldn't stop smiling: "The pickled fish is good recently. People from other places come to my house to buy it."

Ye Mingzhu suddenly understood: "Oh, so many people like to eat Aunt San's pickled fish. Then Aunt San should go back and make it earlier. She can make more money."

The smile on Fang's face froze, and she finally understood what Ye Mingzhu meant. She was complaining that she was too troublesome.

She felt embarrassed and angry. Didn't she just want to ask them if they had found anything in the sea? They were the closest people, and when something happened, they relied on each other.

She was angry in her heart, but she didn't dare show it on her face. She stood up and said goodbye to Aunt Jiang: "Sister-in-law, I'm going back first. Come to my place and talk to me when you have time."

"Well, go back and get busy. If you're too busy, come and call me." Aunt Jiang smiled and stood up to see her off. Ye Mingzhu followed behind her and sent her away as if she couldn't understand her expression.

Fang looked at Ye Mingzhu's smiling face, and began to doubt whether she had guessed wrongly. She went home with full of doubts.

Ye Mingzhu closed the door and sighed, "I didn't expect so many people to be interested in the treasure in the sea. We just went for a walk in the sea and Aunt San came to inquire about it."

Aunt Jiang comforted her: "People die for money, birds die for food. Everyone in Yuanshan Village lives an ordinary life. Now that news of the treasure has spread, everyone hopes that they have discovered it. This is normal, you don't have to take it to heart."

Ye Mingzhu decided not to go to the sea in the next few days. Although it felt good to go to the sea, she didn't want to be noticed all the time.

Aunt Jiang patted her arm and asked her to look at the clothes she had made for Ye Yun'an, and she felt better.

At noon, Ye Yun'an came here to cook for them. Just as he was about to call them to eat, Aunt Jiang had just finished making the clothes, so she asked him to try on the clothes before eating.

Ye Yun'an held the brand new clothes, his face full of emotion: "Auntie, you are so kind to me."

"You kid, you already call me aunt, so what if I just made you a set of clothes? Come in and try it on."

Ye Yun'an came back very quickly, almost running to Aunt Jiang: "Aunt."

Aunt Jiang asked him to turn around and take a look, then tugged at the back of the shirt and said, "It fits you well. The weather will soon get cooler, so you can wear it in a couple of days."

Ye Yun'an snuggled into Aunt Jiang's arms, her voice choked with sobs: "Aunt, thank you."

Aunt Jiang patted his head lovingly: "We are all family, there is nothing to thank you for."

Ye Mingzhu looked at this heartwarming scene with tears in her eyes. It seemed that after she got married, she cared less about Ye Yun'an. Fortunately, Aunt Jiang cared about him the most.

Xiaowu and Yu Jiaming had already washed their hands and were listening to the conversation.

Xiao Wu couldn't help but say, "I miss my mother too."

Yu Jiaming couldn't help but raise his eyebrows: "Your mother can make clothes for you?"

Xiao Wu pursed his lips and said after a while: "My mother will ask someone to make it for me."

Yu Jiaming: ...You talk as if my mother wouldn’t do that.

Xiaowu felt that Yu Jiaming's eyes were too hurtful, so he turned his head to look at the ground. Suddenly, he seemed to feel something flash by.

He couldn't help but squat down, tilt his head, move back a little, and tilt his head a little to the left.

Yu Jiaming reached out to pull him: "Okay, I shouldn't have said that just now. Your mother treats you very well."

Xiao Wu waved his hand to push away Yu Jiaming's hand and continued to squat and move on the ground.

Yu Jiaming: "...Xiaowu, I said the wrong thing."

Xiao Wu moved twice before he found the spot. He looked up excitedly and said, "Brother Ming, come and see what this is."
