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 468: After the rain, the sky is sunny
Ye Lang hurriedly said, "You and I are brothers, what trouble are you talking about? If you have anything, just tell me directly."
Sister-in-law Ying then said, "If you have anything to say, just tell your cousin directly. It's no big deal."
Ye Lang glanced at Sister Ying and said, "You go take care of Tie Niu. I'll talk to Hongyu."
Sister-in-law Ying walked a few steps towards the bed, her ears perked up, and she looked back from time to time. Ye Lang and Jiang Hongyu both noticed it.
"Hongyu, let's go outside and talk." Ye Lang took the initiative to take Jiang Hongyu to the yard. Sister Ying followed them to the window. At most, she could see their voices but couldn't hear them talking. She stamped her feet and returned to the bed helplessly.
The two of them stood in the yard, and Ye Lang asked, "Hongyu, what do you want to tell me?"
"Thank you for your hard work in letting you stay and take care of everyone this time. If it weren't for the time requirements for taking office, I would definitely have stayed."
Jiang Hongyu said, "You don't have to worry about Linchang. If you don't mind, you can stay with me for a while when you get there. Once you are familiar with the situation there, I will make new arrangements for you."
Ye Lang didn't expect Jiang Hongyu to say this. He quickly said, "Tie Niu is my son, Yun An and Lu Dou are my cousins. It's my duty to take care of them. Hongyu, I feel a little embarrassed when you say that."
Jiang Hongyu patted Ye Lang on the shoulder: "Cousin, I know you are capable, and we are relatives, don't worry, I will definitely not treat you unfairly."
"I have nothing to worry about following you." Ye Lang said this, but he was really relieved.
"That's good." Jiang Hongyu handed him a piece of paper. He opened it, took a look, and then stepped back.
Jiang Hongyu refused to lend it. He said, "This is Mingzhu's idea. He asked me to give it to you. There are so many of you here. What if something happens? They are all women and children. You will definitely be needed to intervene."
It turned out that what Jiang Hongyu handed him was a silver note worth fifty taels. In his hometown, this money could last for several years.
Jiang Hongyu was worried that something might happen here after he left. Ye Lang didn't have enough money, and he was embarrassed to ask Ye Mingzhu for help and delay things, so he left money for him in Ye Mingzhu's name.
Ye Lang held the banknote in his hand, deeply moved. His hesitation completely disappeared. He said to Jiang Hongyu, "Don't worry, Hongyu. I will definitely take them to Linchang safely."
"I'm relieved." Jiang Hongyu nodded with a smile on his face.
Seeing that it was getting darker, Jiang Hongyu didn't say much to Ye Lang and asked him to go back to the house to take care of Tie Niu.
Sister Ying saw Ye Lang enter the room and grabbed his arm. "How is it? What did Hongyu want to talk to you about? What are you holding in your hand?"
Ye Lang spread out the banknote in his hand for Sister Ying to see: "This is a fifty-liang banknote. Hongyu gave it to me. He said he was worried that I might encounter any trouble here."
"Fifty taels?" Sister Ying exclaimed, her eyes widening. "So much?"
Ye Lang quickly put the banknotes away: "No matter how much it is, it is not ours. If we can't spend it, we still have to return it to Hongyu."
"What are you talking about? Can I still take the money?" Sister Ying glanced at where Ye Lang put it, and then asked: "What did Hongyu say?"
"He just told me to stay and rest assured. When I get to Linchang, he will have new arrangements for me." Ye Lang said this with a smile on his face, and Sister Ying soon noticed it.
"Does that mean that even if you don't go to Linchang with Hongyu, everything will be fine. Thank God."
Ye Lang glared at her: "What you said is true. Based on the relationship between Hongyu and me, he will not treat me unfairly."
Sister-in-law Ying wanted to laugh at his worried look just now, but Tie Niu on the bed opened his eyes and called for his mother. She hurried over, and Ye Lang also went over to coax Tie Niu.
Jiang Hongyu had just returned to the room when it started to rain heavily. The sky was foggy for two days.
Ye Mingzhu asked Jiang Hongyu with some concern: "It keeps raining. Can we sail in two days?"
Jiang Hongyu was also worried, but he still smiled and said, "Looking at the weather, it will probably be sunny tomorrow."
Ye Mingzhu looked at the drizzling rain outside and had no confidence at all. She did not sleep well at night and tossed and turned.
Jiang Hongyu pulled her into his arms: "Okay, go to sleep quickly."
Ye Mingzhu raised her head and asked him what to do if the weather wasn't sunny. He nodded her forehead with a smile and said, "Go to sleep quickly, and you'll know when you wake up."
Ye Mingzhu wanted to speak, but Jiang Hongyu narrowed his eyes dangerously: "If you don't want to sleep, let's do some work?"
Work? What kind of work? Ye Mingzhu thought of something and obediently closed her eyes. After a while, she actually fell asleep.
Jiang Hongyu felt Ye Mingzhu in his arms relax and hugged her tighter.
Ye Mingzhu woke up at dawn. She pushed Jiang Hongyu away, put on her clothes, and went to open the window. Then her eyes lit up and she quickly pushed Jiang Hongyu: "Hongyu, it's sunny, it's really sunny."
Jiang Hongyu had actually woken up a long time ago. He opened his eyes at this moment and looked at her with a smile: "Is it sunny?"
"Well, I just checked, the weather outside is very good." Ye Mingzhu quickly combed her hair and walked out.
Jiang Hongyu wanted to say there was no rush, but the door was already closed. He smiled helplessly, got up and put on his clothes.
In the yard, Ye Mingzhu was looking up at the sky. The blue sky looked as if it had been washed clean, which made people feel relaxed and happy.
Ruan Linlin came out of the kitchen, avoiding a small puddle in the yard, and said with joy in her voice: "Boss, the sky is clear now. Shall we take Yun'an and Ludou to see it later?"
Ye Mingzhu came back to her senses and thought for a moment: "After dinner, let's go over there early and see if we can invite Doctor Li over. Our three children are all sick, so we should try not to let them suffer."
"Well, Ruyi is already cooking. It will be ready soon." Ruan Linlin walked up to Ye Mingzhu and praised her, "This courtyard is really well built. It rained so hard these past two days, but the house is fine and there's no water in the courtyard."
Ye Mingzhu also thought this courtyard was nice, so when she knew Xiaoyun was a widow, she still chose to live here.
Ye Yun'an and Ludou also walked out of the room. The two wanted to fight, but were stopped by Jiang Hongyu who came out later.
"Your illness hasn't fully healed yet, so there's no need to rush into practicing boxing. Wait until you're fully recovered."
Ye Yun'an and Lu Dou glanced at each other. Lu Dou ran to Ye Mingzhu and pouted, "Sister, I've been taking medicine for several days. My mouth tastes bitter. I want to eat some snacks."
"It's not easy to ask if you want to eat dim sum. We have a chef with us." Ye Mingzhu said with a smile: "Ruyi is the chef of Sweetheart House. You can have any dim sum you want."
"I'll go ask." Green Bean ran away.
