Chapter 249 I'm Back

"Did you help solve the problem?" Jiang Hongyu asked tentatively.

"Of course I solved it. Otherwise, with Yu's temper, your wife would have suffered this time." Fu Chengyun said this not just to take credit.

The man surnamed Yu is, after all, a son of an official. If he really wants to cause trouble for Ye Mingzhu, Ye Mingzhu may not be able to escape.

"Mingzhu only asked me to thank you and didn't tell you so many details. Please tell me the details of what happened." Jiang Hongyu's expression relaxed and he clenched his fists behind his back.

Fu Chengyun glanced at him suspiciously: "Did Ye Mingzhu say something bad about me?"

"No," Jiang Hongyu tried his best to keep his expression calm, even with a hint of a smile: "Mingzhu asked me to thank you, saying that without you, this matter would have been difficult to get through."

"Of course." Fu Chengyun raised his head and recounted the whole story.

Jiang Hongyu's expression changed several times as he spoke.

Fu Chengyun asked curiously at the end: "Tell me the truth, is there any treasure in the small house you bought?"

"You have lived in my house for so long, have you found any treasure?" Jiang Hongyu asked back.

"No," Fu Chengyun shook his head. He really didn't notice anything, but there must be a reason why the young master of the Yu family kept staring at them.

In fact, the young master in brocade robe surnamed Yu was not sure whether Ye Mingzhu and the others had found the military book.

The main reason was that the previous residents had moved away and they had demolished the house, so they found nothing and he had no way of explaining this to his father.

In addition, Ye Mingzhu's attitude towards him was not very respectful, so he confronted Ye Mingzhu.

Only the arrogant servant beside him guessed some of the reasons, which is why he has always been against Ye Mingzhu. Others could not guess the reasons no matter what.

Although he did not find the military book and the young master in brocade robe would inevitably be punished when he returned, he finally had a reason to leave this remote town, and he was not so angry when he left.

"It's just that your luck is so bad. You didn't get any treasures, and instead you were targeted by the guy named Yu. Tsk tsk tsk," Fu Chengyun sighed. "You are lucky, kid. The woman you married is quite capable."

"Not only was he not dealt with by Yu, but he even took advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune. No wonder..."

"No wonder?" Jiang Hongyu asked with narrowed eyes.

"No wonder you were willing to marry a little fisherwoman even though you were exiled." Fu Chengyun changed the words on the tip of his tongue.

In fact, what he really wanted to say was, no wonder Yu Jiaming wanted to recognize Ye Mingzhu as his sister.

Jiang Hongyu knew the whole story and was very worried.

"Since you came back late this time, I won't hold you responsible. From now on, we'll take turns going ashore, and we'll stay ashore for a maximum of two days."

As soon as Jiang Hongyu finished speaking, Fu Chengyun's face drooped.

He didn't want to stay on the island forever.

Jiang Hongyu ignored his mood and went straight back to his residence to check the things he brought from home.

On the next shopping day, Jiang Hongyu took Ye Lang on the return ship.

Fu Chengyun's face was filled with regret: "Why couldn't he let me go ashore with him? It's only for two days."

Ye Wu glanced at the soldiers behind him and had to remind him: "Master Fu, everyone is looking at you."

No matter how many complaints Fu Chengyun had in his heart, he had to turn back and get back to work.

Before Ye Wu came back last time, he had already handed all his things to his uncle's family. He didn't care whether he could return to the village or not. He shrugged his shoulders and followed Fu Chengyun.

Since Jiang Hongyu got on the boat, he has been paddling quickly. Ye Lang saw Jiang Hongyu's eagerness and also sped up.

The two of them cooperated well, and since there was nothing on the boat, their speed was twice as fast as the last time Fu Chengyun and Ye Wu reached the island.

When they reached the shore, the two men worked together to put the boat in place. Jiang Hongyu said to Ye Lang, "You go home first and come find me in town tomorrow."

Ye Lang was about to ask if he wanted to buy some vegetables in the village, but Jiang Hongyu was already striding towards the shore.

Ye Lang laughed. It seemed that Jiang Hongyu was very eager to go home, which showed that they had a good relationship. As Ye Mingzhu's family member, he was of course happy.

There aren't many vegetables in the village this season, so you can just go to the town to buy them.

On the beach, some people who were about to go out to sea saw the two of them and greeted them loudly.

Jiang Hongyu said hello and left. Ye Lang said a few words to him and hurried home.

"Ye Lang looks different now." The man who had just spoken to Ye Lang sighed.

"Of course. Ye Lang will have a bright future if he follows Hongyu." Someone next to him said.

"The eldest wife of the Ye family lost such a good niece-in-law, and now she doesn't know how to regret it?"

"That's not necessarily true. Maybe they still resent the Jiang family for not supporting them."

…

Jiang Hongyu and Ye Lang didn't pay attention to the sound behind them. One of them went to town and the other went home, and they soon separated.

At this time, there was still an ox cart at the entrance of the village, and it was an old acquaintance, Ye Tiezhu.

Ye Tiezhu was very happy to see Jiang Hongyu: "Hongyu, are you going to town?"

"Yes, Uncle Ye, are there many people taking the bus today? Can you give me a ride? Just consider it as I've booked the bus for today." Jiang Hongyu looked at the car and saw that there were only two people.

Ye Tiezhu nodded: "Of course, I'll send you off and come back later."

He looked at the two people in the car and Jiang Hongyu smiled and said, "If you two aunts are going to town, I wonder if you can leave now?"

As he spoke, he paid the fare directly.

The two women in the car hadn't paid yet. Seeing this, they looked at each other and smiled, "Of course it would be great if we could leave earlier."

Ye Tiezhu did not mention asking the two people to give money again and went to catch the bus.

The two knew that they had saved money, and they both praised Jiang Hongyu, saying that he had become more generous since getting married.

Jiang Hongyu was eager to go home and had no mood to listen to the two people's gossip. He just smiled perfunctorily.

Seeing Jiang Hongyu's good attitude, the two of them spoke more freely.

The slightly fatter aunt came closer to Jiang Hongyu and said, "Hongyu, there are so many people from the capital. Do you think there are any unmarried men? You can introduce them to your sister."

Jiang Hongyu was not familiar with her and did not know which relative of the Ye family she was. He put away the smile on his face and said, "Those officers and soldiers are all from the capital. Even if they marry girls from our village, they will not bring them back to the capital."

"Huh?" The smile on the fat aunt's face froze. If she couldn't go back to Beijing with him, then what hope would there be for her to marry her daughter off?

The other aunt saw that Jiang Hongyu didn't want to bring up this topic, so she pulled the fat aunt.

Jiang Hongyu yawned, turned his head away, closed his eyes, and didn't say anything until he got off the car.

When he arrived at the town entrance, he got off the ox cart, nodded to a few people, and walked quickly back home.

"Mingzhu is so lucky." The fat lady sighed: "Even if she had married an exile, she would be an official now."

"We have to be nicer to Mingzhu in the future." Another aunt also looked envious.

Jiang Hongyu ignored the noise behind him, walked quickly back home, and knocked on the door: "I'm back."
