Chapter 346 Want to be an uncle

Ludou stayed in the front yard. After making sure that Lord Zheng and Yu Jiaming had left, he ran to the backyard to look for Ye Mingzhu.

"Sister, can I not leave?" Luodou's voice was cautious, and his eyes were even more distressing than when he first met Ye Mingzhu.

"Green Bean, why don't you want to go home?"

Although it was okay for Green Bean to stay, Ye Mingzhu wanted to know why he was unwilling to go home.

Children of Green Bean's age usually cannot leave home, but it is really strange that Green Bean does not want to go home after being away from home for such a long time.

Green Bean lowered his head and said after a while, "My mother and I are not close. I grew up with my nanny. Every time my grandfather bought me food and toys, my mother would scold me."

"My mother wanted me to learn martial arts, but my grandfather was afraid I would go to the battlefield, so he didn't let me."

"When my eldest cousin is in the capital, he will come to see me. The rest of the time, I am alone in the mansion."

"But my cousin is too busy and rarely in the capital. This time I had an argument with my mother and ran out with a guard to look for my cousin. I don't know how we got separated."

The sound of green beans was very low, and Ye Mingzhu saw a few drops of water dripping onto the ground.

She sighed and held Green Bean in her arms: "Okay, if you don't want to talk about it, then don't talk about it. From now on, I will stay at my sister's house and study and practice martial arts with Brother Yun'an."

"Sister, won't you stop me from learning martial arts?" Luodou looked up at Ye Mingzhu, his eyes shining as if washed with water.

"Practicing martial arts can protect you. There's nothing wrong with practicing martial arts." Ye Mingzhu said as she pondered, "But whether you'll go to the battlefield in the future, and what you want to do, we'll decide when you grow up."

Green Bean nodded continuously, his eyes shining.

"Also, there is no mother who doesn't love her own children. If you don't want to go home, write a letter to your mother and grandfather first."

Ye Mingzhu wanted to say that Green Bean was their spiritual support, but she was afraid that he wouldn't understand, so she changed the words: "You are your mother and grandfather's future support. They all hope for your well-being. If you are gone, they will be more sad than anyone else."

The light in Ludou's eyes faded a little, and he nodded: "I will write a letter to mother and ask my eldest cousin to send it back to Beijing."

Ye Mingzhu heard him keep talking about his cousin and guessed, "You have a good relationship with your cousin?"

"Well," Green Bean said more, "I've liked my eldest cousin since I was a child. My mother wouldn't let me go out, but my eldest cousin persuaded her, so I was able to go out and play. My eldest cousin also hired several guards for me, but my mother was afraid that I would learn martial arts from them, so she usually didn't let them around me..."

As Green Bean spoke, his voice became lower.

"Okay, don't think about it. From now on, you should treat this place as your home. You can do whatever you want, but don't neglect your studies."

Ye Mingzhu didn't want to see Luodou sad, so she touched his little head.

"Yeah." Green Bean nodded vigorously.

Green Bean started learning Chinese at the age of four. Now he knows a lot of words and has no problem writing letters by himself.

Ye Mingzhu accompanied him to write a letter, and then gave it to Jiang Hongyu, asking him to deliver it to Lord Zheng.

Half an hour later, Jiang Hongyu came back and handed Ye Mingzhu a box with a strange expression: "Master Zheng said that this box contains the money that Ludou needs to live in our house."

It was just food money, Ye Mingzhu understood. She opened the box casually and found a silver note of five hundred taels and ten neatly arranged silver ingots inside.

Ye Mingzhu looked up: "Are we feeding Green Bean badly? Or is Green Bean not well dressed?"

Green Bean is obviously a lot fatter than when he first arrived, so why did Lord Zheng send him so much silver?

Jiang Hongyu recalled the surprise that flashed across Lord Zheng's face when he sent the letter back. He then asked why it was only after Ye Mingzhu's persuasion that Ludou remembered to write a letter home. He then asked his attendant to bring out the box.

To him, it was more like a thank you gift.

"Let's continue to treat Luodou the same way as before. Just keep this silver for Luodou." Jiang Hongyu was not short of money.

Ye Mingzhu also thought it made sense and directly gave the money to Ludou.

But Lung Bean refused to accept it: "Sister, I live here, and you not only take care of my food, but also make me new clothes. Uncle Yan also taught me martial arts. Since these are given to you by my eldest cousin, you should accept them."

He also winked secretly: "Sister, my cousin is very rich, he doesn't care about these things."

He said with some regret: "I have money too, gold and silver ingots, and gold leaves, but they are all at home. When I get home, I will give them all to my sister."

Ye Mingzhu looked at him with amusement: "Sister is rich and doesn't need your money. Okay, go have fun."

After she sent Luodou away, she put the box away, planning to give it to him when he left. But she didn't know that Luodou would stay in her house for so many years.

Although she didn't plan to use these banknotes and silver ingots, Lord Zheng gave her so much money, she couldn't just sit there and say nothing.

She took her whole family directly to the cloth shop and bought two pieces of cloth for each person to make new clothes.

Luodou and Ye Yun were so happy that they showed off everywhere, and even asked Aunt Jiang to take them to the Lin residence to show off their new clothes to Mr. Lin.

Ye Mingzhu learned from Yunniang the purpose of their visit to the Lin residence, which was very funny. She was also thinking in her heart whether she should find some playmates for Ye Yunan and Ludou so that they wouldn't be bored at home every day.

After a while, a few people came back and Green Bean's voice came from the front yard.

“Sister, sister…”

Ye Mingzhu was lying on a recliner, feeling the winter sun, when she was called by Ludou.

"Sister, Sister Lin next door is pregnant. When will you give birth to a nephew for us? I also want to be his uncle."

Luodou's voice was crisp and his pronunciation was clear. Not only Ye Mingzhu, but also Aunt Jiang, Ye Yunan, and Yunniang who came in later could hear it clearly.

Ye Yun'an and Aunt Jiang looked at each other, and Ye Yun'an walked over to Ye Mingzhu and sat down without saying a word.

Green Bean continued to ask: "Sister, I want to be an uncle too."

"This..." Ye Mingzhu was embarrassed and embarrassment: "You are still a child, how can you be an uncle?"

"Sister Lin said that after the baby in her belly is born, she should call me uncle. I also want the baby in her belly to call me uncle." Green Bean said seriously.

Ye Mingzhu didn't know how to answer for a moment, and Aunt Jiang came to her rescue: "Your sister has been busy taking care of you recently and doesn't have time. When you grow up a little, you can have a baby."

Ye Mingzhu nodded hurriedly.

Green Bean looked confused: "We can take care of ourselves, we don't need sister to take care of us."

Ye Yun'an also nodded: "Sister, I can take care of myself, you can have the baby now."

Ye Mingzhu heard the cry of a groundhog in her heart. Whose naughty kids are these? They keep asking questions that adults can't answer.
