Chapter 231 Being Stopped

"Master Cui, are you getting ready to go out?" Ye Mingzhu greeted Xiaowu first.

Xiao Wu shook his head subconsciously: "I'm fine, you're looking for me?"

Ye Mingzhu handed him the gift in her hand: "This is to thank you for coming today."

Xiao Wu waved his hand: "We are all family, no need to thank me, no need to thank me."

Ruan Linlin looked at Ye Mingzhu with a gossipy look on her face, then glanced at Xiaowu, a little curious about how they knew each other, and whether they were actually family?

Ye Mingzhu glared at Xiaowu. His words were too easy to be misunderstood.

"Sister Ruan, this is Brother Hongyu's friend, Master Cui." Ye Mingzhu first introduced Xiaowu's identity to Ruan Linlin, and then looked at Xiaowu.

"Xiao Wu, this is the owner of my shop, his last name is Ruan."

Xiaowu then noticed that there was someone else next to Ye Mingzhu, and invited the two of them into the yard.

Ye Mingzhu knew that the doorway was not the place to talk, so she followed Xiaowu in, put the gifts down first, and then told Xiaowu that she wanted him to take care of the snack shop.

Xiaowu patted his chest and said that it was no problem and he would go there to buy snacks every day in the future.

The corner of Ye Mingzhu's mouth twitched, and she said helplessly: "If you buy snacks every day, you will eat a lot. Be careful not to become a big fat man."

Even though ancient snacks did not require much technology or labor, they still contained a lot of oil and sugar, so how could they be eaten as a meal?

"I just want you to help Sweetheart Shop when it's in trouble, and don't let anyone sabotage it. Sister Ruan and the others are keeping the shop going." Ye Mingzhu was very confident about the dim sum in the shop. "Auntie Mo's dim sum is very good. As long as we give us some time, everyone will definitely like the dim sum in Sweetheart Shop."

Xiaowu thinks this is even simpler. Isn’t it just about preventing others from causing trouble?

The constables in the yamen have nothing to do every day. Starting tomorrow, they should all go out on patrol. If they meet any ignorant people, they will be locked up in jail or sent to the mine to work. This will save money compared to hiring miners.

The idle constable: ...

Miners who want to collect money: ...

"Don't worry, the constables in the yamen patrol the streets every day, and there will definitely be no trouble." Xiao Wu said righteously.

Ye Mingzhu, who didn't understand the situation, nodded: "That's good."

Xiaowu originally wanted to keep Ye Mingzhu in the yamen for dinner, but Ye Mingzhu shook her head like a rattle. She had no interest in the food in the yamen.

When she went out today, she made an agreement with Aunt Jiang that if Sweetheart Shop opened smoothly, they would return to town the day after tomorrow. She also wanted to take advantage of the free time now to stroll around the county town.

Xiao Wu didn't expect Ye Mingzhu to go back so soon, and said worriedly: "Brother Yu is not at home, is it unsafe for you and Auntie to be at home?"

Ye Mingzhu reminded him: "Uncle Yan's kung fu is very good, and I have my brother. The town is very safe."

Xiao Wu then remembered that Uncle Yan lived with them. Thinking of the unfinished case, he licked his lips and smiled: "Is Uncle Yan still at the farm? I haven't seen Uncle Yan for a few days. I want to go over and see him."

"Uncle Yan is over there in the shop, you can go directly to him."

Xiao Wu was a little surprised: "I didn't see Uncle Yan today."

Ye Mingzhu said calmly: "If your lion head was closer to me just now, you would have been able to see Uncle Yan clearly."

Uncle Yan was right next to them at the time. If he hadn't realized it was Xiaowu, he would have arrested Xiaowu on the spot.

To be honest, Xiaowu's surprise was more of a shock than a joy.

Xiao Wu chuckled, "Brother Ming was a little opposed to it. I heard from the people downstairs that it was so lively. Did a lot of people go there?"

Ye Mingzhu: “…”

Considering the other party's kindness, Ye Mingzhu left without saying anything more.

When I turned around, I saw Yu Jiaming at the door, with an inexplicable emotion in his eyes: "Mingzhu, are you here to see me?"

Ye Mingzhu shook her head, then nodded again when she noticed Yu Jiaming's unhappy expression. "I came to thank you for coming today. Now that I've delivered the gifts, I'll be leaving now."

Xiaowu wanted to keep him, but Yu Jiaming stopped him.

Ruan Linlin followed Ye Mingzhu silently until she left the county government office and then she breathed a sigh of relief.

Ye Mingzhu looked at her with amusement: "What's wrong?"

Ruan Linlin licked her lips and said, "I've never been to a government office before, so I'm a little nervous."

Ye Mingzhu nodded: "Most people are nervous when entering the government office."

If she hadn't known Yu Jiaming and Xiaowu in advance, her reaction would probably be similar to Ruan Linlin's.

Ruan Linlin looked at her calm face and casually asked, "The boss seems to have a good relationship with the two officials in the government office?"

Just now, Ye Mingzhu only introduced Xiaowu and not Yu Jiaming. She didn't expect that he was the county magistrate.

"Yes, we knew each other before. At that time, they were not officials in the yamen." Ye Mingzhu changed the subject without saying much.

Ruan Linlin always felt that there was something wrong with Yu Jiaming's attitude towards Ye Mingzhu. She thought about it all the way but couldn't figure it out.

Seeing that she was at Sweetheart House, Wu Yue couldn't handle it alone, so she put her thoughts aside and hurried over to help.

Ye Mingzhu had lunch at Sweetheart Place before returning to the farm with Aunt Jiang and Uncle Yan. The others would not be back until the evening.

Back at the farm, Uncle Yan went to feed the horses, leaving only Ye Mingzhu and Aunt Jiang in the house.

"Mom, are you relieved now?" Ye Mingzhu asked.

Aunt Jiang nodded: "Xia Zhi now has a home and land, and can make her favorite snacks. I don't have to worry about her so much in the future."

"Mom, we are watching over them. Sister Mo Xing and Wu Tie will definitely be filial to Aunt Mo."

Ye Mingzhu comforted.

As long as Aunt Mo has the skill to make snacks, she will never be short of money. She is in good health and will not be a burden to her daughter and apprentice, so her life will be much more comfortable.

It doesn't matter even if her daughter and apprentice are not filial in the future. She still has her and Jiang Hongyu. Even because Aunt Mo is the master chef of her pastry shop, she will not treat her unfairly.

That night, Aunt Mo did not return to the farm. She only sent someone to tell them that the business in the shop was good and they would stay in the shop to make snacks for the next day.

Ye Mingzhu asked Aunt Jiang for her opinion and left the farm early in the morning.

Ye Yun'an looked at Zhuangzi going away, with regret in his eyes: "Leaving so soon?"

"What's wrong? Yun'an hasn't played enough?" Ye Mingzhu asked with raised eyebrows, looking at her brother who had not been seen for several days.

"I have been practicing calligraphy and martial arts well these days." Ye Yun'an answered vigilantly.

Aunt Jiang and Ye Mingzhu looked at each other and smiled at the same time.

While chatting and laughing, a few people returned to Pinggu Town.

Ye Mingzhu looked at the sunset sky and was not in a hurry to go home.

"How about we go to the restaurant tonight for dinner and then go home?"

Ye Yun'an immediately clapped his hands: "Okay, this way we don't have to trouble Yunniang to cook."

Aunt Jiang tapped Ye Yun'an's forehead and didn't object, so Ye Mingzhu asked Uncle Yan to turn around and go to the restaurant.

Uncle Yan put them down and went to return the carriage.

Unexpectedly, the three of them were stopped as soon as they stepped into the restaurant.
