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 184 Various Arrangements

Chapter 184 Various Arrangements

During this period, we will first gather some pearl divers to go pearl diving. This will not only complete the tasks assigned by the superiors, but also ensure that these people do not act recklessly. This method is great.

"Xiaowu and I will take Uncle Yan back tomorrow. Two days later, Xiaowu will bring the county's bailiffs to handle this matter. You can come and help then." Yu Jiaming said. In the entire county, apart from the people he brought with him, the people he trusted most were Jiang Hongyu and his wife.

If it weren't for Ye Mingzhu, he would have fallen into the sea and drowned. If it weren't for Jiang Hongyu, his career might have ended here.

Thinking of this, his face darkened. The incident of falling into the sea has not been settled yet. Those people should not think that he can let them off.

Seeing his gloomy face, Jiang Hongyu changed the words on his lips to: "My injury hasn't healed yet, so I may not be able to help much."

"You don't have to do anything. Xiaowu is responsible for recruiting people. After all, you grew up around here. If there are any troublemakers, you can give Xiaowu some help."

Yu Jiaming just wanted to use this incident to promote Jiang Hongyu, and he didn't force him to do anything.

"If you're worried about trouble, I suggest you find a local. Even though I grew up here, I'm not a native here."

Although many people in Yuanshan Village changed their views on Jiang Hongyu after he and Ye Mingzhu got married, if they were in other villages, he might not feel proud, and it might even have the opposite effect.

"If you're looking for help, I can recommend two people. One is the grandson of the head of the Ye family. He's been working as a yamen runner in town for a few years and is a very nice guy. The other is Ye Wu, whom we met when we went out to sea a few days ago. He's smart, knows a lot of people from all walks of life, and has his own ideas."

Yu Jiaming had some impression of Ye Wu. He examined them so simply, obviously because he was giving Ye Mingzhu a favor.

Xiao Wu chuckled and said, "Brother Jiang, the two people you recommended both have the surname Ye. Are they both related to my sister-in-law?"

Before Jiang Hongyu could say anything, Yu Jiaming patted him and said, "Mingzhu doesn't like you calling her sister-in-law, but you still do? Call her sister-in-law."

Xiao Wu jumped away and yelled, "Brother Ming, it's just a name, why are you hitting me?"

Yu Jiaming glared at him and retracted his hand: "I recognized Mingzhu as my sister, don't you know?"

Xiaowu opened his mouth and wanted to say, "Brother, with your status, can you just pick up girls outside?"

Yu Jiaming continued, "I've already written to my family. Once I receive a reply, I'll officially acknowledge Mingzhu as my sister."

Xiaowu was really surprised this time. He didn't believe that the Yu family would let Yu Jiaming find a fisherman's daughter as his sister.

Although Ye Mingzhu is indeed excellent and has helped them a lot, it is also a fact that her status is too low.

Jiang Hongyu subconsciously didn't want to talk about this, and laughed it off, "Given our relationship, it doesn't matter if you don't recognize me. I recommended these two people not just because they are Mingzhu's brothers."

"Ye Lang has been a yamen runner in town for many years. He is well known to the villagers and people from nearby villages. In addition, his grandfather is the head of the Ye family, so he has much more face than the average person."

"Ye Wu doesn't have a formal job, but he often goes to other towns and villages. He knows more hooligans than the average person, so he can avoid trouble. If we use these two people well, we can get twice the result with half the effort."

Although Jiang Hongyu had selfish motives, he was really doing it for the good of Yu Jiaming and the others.

Yu Jiaming looked at Xiaowu and said, "Brother Jiang and Sister Mingzhu are in Yuanshan Village. It will be easier for us to do things. Let's recruit pearl divers in Yuanshan Village."

Xiaowu just told Jiang Hongyu that they have a good relationship and that he thinks it is a good idea to recruit workers in Yuanshan Village and live in Jiang's house.

"Brother Jiang, you can go back to the village first and tell them about this. If there are people in Yuanshan Village with high pearl-diving skills, they can be hired first."

Yu Jiaming's words have already given a lot of face to Yuanshan Village. After Jiang Hongyu said this, his status in the village is expected to be further improved.

Jiang Hongyu knew that Yu Jiaming meant well, so he bowed and thanked him.

The three of them talked in the room until very late before going to bed. After more than an hour, Yu Jiaming and Xiaowu got up. Uncle Yan cooked noodles and eggs for them to eat before going out.

Jiang Hongyu was accompanying them. Xiao Wu held the bowl high and, using it as a shield, whispered to Jiang Hongyu, "Is Uncle Yan the only one who can cook noodles?"

I was very hungry last night and thought noodles were delicious, but I couldn’t eat them right after waking up.

Jiang Hongyu knew that Uncle Yan could hear them, so he smiled and said, "Uncle Yan knows how to barbecue, and he's very good at it."

Xiaowu was delighted, and Yu Jiaming coughed, "Eat quickly, and then we can leave early."

Uncle Yan had finished the noodles in his bowl, put down his chopsticks, and told Jiang Hongyu to be careful and not to fight with others.

Jiang Hongyu nodded frequently and reminded Uncle Yan to finish his work and come back early.

Since living together, Uncle Yan seemed to have let go of some psychological burden and his relationship with Jiang Hongyu became much closer.

Old Hu was already waiting at the gate. Yu Jiaming, Uncle Yan and the other two left in the dark. Jiang Hongyu patted Old Hu on the shoulder and said, "Old Hu, go to sleep."

Originally he wanted to call him Uncle Hu, but Old Hu and Yunniang disagreed, so in the end they just called him Old Hu.

Jiang Hongyu went back to the guest room and slept for a while until Ye Mingzhu and the others woke up, and then he repeated what Yu Jiaming had said to him last night.

"It seems that Yu Jiaming is a good person and he knows how to plan for you."

Ye Mingzhu was combing her hair and turned around and smiled.

"I can see that Brother Yu is sincere in his interactions with us." Jiang Hongyu thought of what Yu Jiaming said yesterday about wanting to recognize Ye Mingzhu as his sister, and couldn't help but speak well of Yu Jiaming.

"We have helped them so much. If he has bad intentions towards us again, he would be really cruel." Ye Mingzhu did not have much respect for Jiaming. After all, their status was very different. Yu Jiaming's term of office had expired, and they had nothing to do with each other.

"When will we go back to the village? Your injuries haven't healed yet." Ye Mingzhu knew that informing the villagers about pearl hunting was a big deal, but Jiang Hongyu's health was also important.

"We are just going back to the village to spread the news, not to fight. What's the big deal?" Jiang Hongyu waved his hand, not caring at all.

"I recommended Ye Lang and Ye Wu, and I also need to tell them in advance."

Ye Mingzhu was a little surprised. Ye Lang and Jiang Hongyu were in the same town and had some contact with each other, but Ye Wu had stopped them at the beach last time and his attitude towards Jiang Hongyu was not very good. She didn't expect Jiang Hongyu to recommend him.

"Am I that stingy?" Jiang Hongyu put the comb away for him and said with a smile, "He's your cousin from the next room, and he's quite capable. Of course I have to recommend him."

Ye Mingzhu stood up and said, "How about we go find cousin Ye Lang first, and then go back to the village together to talk to the village chief and the clan leader about this?"
