Transmigrating to Exile, I Prosper by the Sea

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 176 Visitors from Lin's Residence

Aunt Jiang had heard the noises of the two people outside a long time ago, and she sat calmly at the table, drinking tea?

Ye Mingzhu helped Jiang Hongyu sit down and said anxiously, "Mom, Brother Yu is injured."

Aunt Jiang calmly put down the teacup and went to get the medicine box.

"Mom, my injury isn't serious, is it?"

Jiang Hongyu looked at his mother, trying to convey some message.

Every time he was injured, it was his mother who bandaged him, but Ye Mingzhu had never seen it, and he didn't want to make Ye Mingzhu worry.

"I'm not a miracle doctor. I can't tell the extent of the injury before I even see it." Aunt Jiang said without giving him any face, "Stretch out your hand, I'll take your pulse."

"Mom, Brother Yu smells so strongly of medicine. Is he seriously injured?" Ye Mingzhu watched from the side, feeling a little worried.

"Mingzhu, ask Yun'an to boil some water and bring it over. I will clean his wound later." Aunt Jiang turned her head and said to Ye Mingzhu gently.

Ye Mingzhu stood up without hesitation: "I'll go now."

After Ye Mingzhu left, Jiang Hongyu said, "Mom, when do you need hot water to clean the wound?"

Aunt Jiang raised her hand and touched his arm, then gently pushed his stomach. When she heard him groan, she said, "You're not saying you're okay, are you?"

Jiang Hongyu: ...I'm just worried that Mingzhu will worry.

Aunt Jiang stood up unhappily: "Stand up and take off your clothes, let me see the wound."

Jiang Hongyu stood up and took off his coat. Aunt Jiang untied the strips of cloth from his body and frowned: "Why are you injured so badly this time?"

Jiang Hongyu endured the pain and said, "I was negligent."

He didn't say why he neglected it or what he neglected.

Fortunately, Aunt Jiang didn't ask any more questions. She first cleaned the wound with a special medicine, applied medicine powder on it, and then bandaged it with a clean cloth.

"Mom, the hot water is here." Ye Mingzhu came in with a basin of hot water and saw Aunt Jiang bandaging the wound.

The smell of medicine on Jiang Hongyu's body was much lighter, and there were cloth strips wrapped around his upper body and arms.

She looked worried and said, "It's very powerful with so much cloth wrapped around it."

"It's not serious. My mother is here. It will be fine in a few days, right, mother?" Jiang Hongyu looked at Aunt Jiang ingratiatingly.

"I, your mother, am just a country doctor, not a miracle healer." Aunt Jiang didn't want to look at her upset son, so she threw the cloth she had just changed into the hot water and went out with the basin.

"I'm really fine," Jiang Hongyu looked at Ye Mingzhu, "I recover quickly and will be fine in a few days."

Ye Mingzhu knew that he was trying to comfort her, and sighed in her heart: "It's getting late, go lie down on the bed for a while, and then I'll ask Yun An to go to the restaurant outside to order some food."

"You stay with me." Jiang Hongyu tried to smile naturally: "This is my first time home, and I don't even know where my room is."

Ye Mingzhu took Jiang Hongyu back to the room. The room here was twice as big as the room in the courtyard. It was filled with elm furniture. Although not expensive, it was very matching.

"The rooms here are nicely decorated." Jiang Hongyu sat in this unfamiliar room, looking at how neat and bright everything was, and his heart relaxed a lot.

Ye Mingzhu was unrolling the bed when she heard this and turned back: "There are more things here than in the courtyard, but the only rooms with relatively complete furniture are this one and the study in the front yard. I wanted to leave this room to mother, but she refused."

"If mom doesn't want to, forget it. I'll take her to make some nice furniture tomorrow." Jiang Hongyu couldn't help yawning.

"My mother and I have already bought it. A family in town originally ordered furniture, but their new wife liked better wood and refused to use it. So the carpenter sold it to us at a lower price."

"Not only mother's room, but also the room in the front yard has been decorated."

This afternoon, Ye Mingzhu took Aunt Jiang and Ye Yun'an to buy furniture and bedding. After hurriedly arranging the place, they went to the town entrance to wait for Uncle Yan. It was not until now that they had time to sit down.

Jiang Hongyu had decorated the courtyard before and knew how tiring it was. He pulled her to sit down and said, "Why don't you lie down with me for a while?"

Ye Mingzhu blushed: "There are other rooms that need to be cleaned, and I also have to talk to Yun An about ordering food."

Jiang Hongyu waved his hand nonchalantly: "Just sit for a while."

Ye Mingzhu had no choice but to sit down: "Okay, I'll sit with you for a while, you lie down first."

She helped Jiang Hongyu take off his coat and let him lie down on the bed again.

Jiang Hongyu was about to speak, but she shushed him, "Go to sleep for a while, and we can talk later if you have anything to say."

Ye Mingzhu watched Jiang Hongyu close his eyes and start snoring softly before she got up, covered herself with the quilt again, and walked out.

From Jiang Hongyu's dark circles and the wounds on his body, we can tell that he encountered considerable difficulties when he went out this time.

As long as he comes back safely, we can talk about everything later.

Ye Mingzhu went to the front yard, where Ye Yun'an was enthusiastically talking to Uncle Yan about the layout of their room, and asked with admiration whether his kung fu would surpass Jiang Hongyu's in the future.

Ye Mingzhu didn't hear Uncle Yan's answer outside the house. She waited for a while, then quickened her pace and pushed the door open to enter the house.

Uncle Yan and Ye Yun'an turned around at the same time. Ye Yun'an ran over and said, "Sister, Uncle Yan said I have good qualifications."

Ye Mingzhu smiled and nodded at him: "Then you have to work harder. Try to catch up with your brother-in-law as soon as possible."

Ye Yun'an responded with a smile.

Ye Mingzhu looked at Uncle Yan: "Uncle Yan, what do you think of your room? If you need anything else, just tell me and I'll buy it tomorrow."

"I have everything," Uncle Yan said, his expression almost relaxed. "When I was on my own, I had much better things to do than this."

"Uncle Yan, if you need anything, please don't be polite to me." Ye Mingzhu knew Uncle Yan quite well. He was a quiet man, otherwise the relationship between him and Aunt Jiang would have been settled long ago.

"Don't worry, sister. I'll tell you if Uncle Yan is missing anything." Ye Yun'an said from the side.

"Okay, I'll leave this to Yun'an." Ye Mingzhu smiled and nodded. "Now I'll give you a small task. Go to the restaurant and order a few dishes. Your brother-in-law is injured, so avoid seafood when ordering. Ask the waiter to tell the chef to use less seasoning."

Ye Yun'an looked worried: "How is my brother-in-law's injury?"

Ye Mingzhu knew that Jiang Hongyu didn't want to make everyone worry, so she avoided the main issue and said, "Just take care of it for a few more days."

Uncle Yan knew that Jiang Hongyu was seriously injured this time, so he said, "Why don't I accompany Yun An to the restaurant to order food, and then go to the grain store to buy some food and vegetables."

"Yes, let's buy more food. I'll make soup for my brother-in-law tomorrow and let him take good care of himself."

Ye Yun'an took Uncle Yan's hand and walked away with a smile.

Ye Mingzhu sent them to the door. Before they had gone far, there was a knock on the door. She smiled and opened the door: "Did you forget to take the money?"

Outside the door stood the housekeeper of the Lin residence. The two people behind him were carrying things on their backs. "Miss Ye, this is what my young lady asked me to bring."
