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 469: Sailing in the Afternoon

Jiang Hongyu looked at Ye Mingzhu and said disapprovingly: "Mung Bean is still taking medicine and is not suitable for snacks."

Ye Mingzhu blinked. "I only said Ruyi can make snacks, but I didn't say what kind. Besides, we don't have that many tools here, so we can't make anything complicated."

Ye Yun'an beside him suddenly realized: "Sister, how could you do this?"

Ye Mingzhu frowned and said, "What am I like? Tell me, am I stopping you from having snacks?"

"You just said there are no tools here?" Ye Yun'an accused.

"This is our rented house. We really don't have any tools here, right?" Ye Mingzhu said calmly, "I'm not wrong. I'll ask Ruyi to make you some simple snacks later. If you want anything else, we can talk about it when we get to Linchang."

Ye Yun'an felt something was wrong. Lvdou had already come out of the kitchen: "Ruyi said that we would go shopping after breakfast."

"Then let's have breakfast quickly, and then we'll go get the doctor. If the doctor says you're cured, I'll have Ruyi prepare something delicious for you."

Ye Mingzhu coaxed Luodou to eat, and gave Ye Yunan a look that told him not to talk nonsense.

Ye Yun'an had already realized what Ye Mingzhu meant, but under the stares of Ye Mingzhu and Jiang Hongyu, he could only go and eat obediently.

Jiang Hongyu went up to Ye Mingzhu and said, "I'll go to the dock first and ask Ye Lang to get a doctor. You can go out again when you're all right."

Ye Mingzhu knew that he was worried that they were unfamiliar with the place, so she nodded and went to have breakfast together.

After dinner, Jiang Hongyu and Ye Lang went out separately. Ye Yunan and Ludou wanted to play in the yard, but were rejected by Ye Mingzhu. Not to mention that there were some puddles in the yard, but the two of them had not recovered completely from their illnesses. If they were blown by the wind again, it would take more than a few days for them to recover.

Luodou still wanted to act coquettishly with Ye Mingzhu, but Ye Mingzhu was unmoved. In the end, the two chose to practice calligraphy.

When Doctor Li arrived, he saw Ye Yun'an and Lu Dou practicing calligraphy diligently. He nodded in surprise and said, "This child has a bright future. He never forgets to study even when he's sick."

Ye Mingzhu smiled and said, "Please ask Doctor Li to take their pulses and see if they need any more medicine."

"I think I'm well now." Luodou tilted his head and smiled sweetly at Dr. Li.

"Then let me take a look at you first." Doctor Li was very easy to talk to.

Before Ye Mingzhu could say anything, Ye Yun'an and Lu Dou had already put away everything on the table. Lu Dou jumped off the chair, helped Doctor Li to sit, and extended his hand.

Doctor Li smiled and took out the pulse pillow.

Doctor Li, who was taking Ye Mingzhu's pulse, looked much more serious. Ye Mingzhu looked at him for a long time but couldn't figure out anything.

Doctor Li waited until the pulse diagnosis was over before the smile returned to his face. "You're doing well. Just need another dose of medicine."

Green Bean's smiling face drooped: "Do I still need to take medicine?"

Without waiting for anyone else to speak, Ludou pulled Ye Yun'an down again and asked Doctor Li to take his pulse.

"Doctor, can you please check on my brother?"

Ye Mingzhu knew all about his little thoughts, she just stood there smiling without saying anything.

Ye Yun'an stretched out his hand somewhat stiffly. He hated taking bitter medicine since he was a child.

After taking Ye Yun'an's pulse, Doctor Li smiled even more broadly: "Well, you're recovering well. Just eat lighter food these few days."

"What?" Lung Bean's face was full of disappointment as he complained, "Doctor, I need to take medicine. Does my brother need medicine too?"

Everyone in the room, except Ye Yunan, laughed.

"Why does your brother have to take medicine too?" Doctor Li asked Lu Dou with interest.

"We are brothers. We should share happiness, difficulties and medicine together." Green Bean said righteously.

Everyone burst into laughter again. Ye Yun'an said dissatisfiedly, "Green Bean, I'm fine now. I don't need to take medicine anymore."

"No, I need to take medicine, and you have to take it too." Lu Dou insisted that Dr. Li give Ye Yun'an the medicine.

Ye Mingzhu couldn't bear it anymore and asked Doctor Li to take Tie Niu's pulse.

While Ludou was still arguing with Ye Yun'an, Ye Mingzhu said to Ruan Linlin calmly, "Linlin, ask Ruyi if she needs to buy anything when she goes out to the street."

As one wishes?

When he heard the name, Ludou immediately shut his mouth. He remembered that Ye Mingzhu had asked Ruyi to make snacks.

He stopped making noise, and Ye Yun'an naturally stopped talking.

Ye Mingzhu then gestured to Doctor Li who was watching the show, asking him to go and treat Tie Niu.

Tie Niu's illness was much more serious than Ye Yun'an and Luodou's. Although he took herbal medicine for a few days, his condition only improved but he did not recover completely.

After taking Tie Niu's pulse, Doctor Li wrote a prescription.

"Go to my clinic and get the medicine now. Take this prescription for three days. Then I'll check your pulse and see how you're doing."

Sister-in-law Ying asked anxiously, "Doctor, will it be better in three days?"

Doctor Li looked at her and said, "We'll see after you take the medicine."

Sister Ying wanted to ask more, but Ye Mingzhu was afraid that she would annoy Doctor Li by talking too much, so she quickly said with a smile, "Doctor, my nephew is young. Does he have any dietary restrictions? We've only been giving him porridge these past two days."

Doctor Li listed the edible foods, and Sister Ying hurriedly listened carefully.

After the two of them finished talking, Ye Lang still saw Doctor Li off.

Green Bean was talking to Ruyi in the courtyard when he came running over, "Doctor, do I really need to take more medicine? Is it okay if I don't?"

"No," Doctor Li was particularly kind to Lu Dou, "If you don't take the medicine, your illness won't get better. If you get sick again, you'll need more medicine in the future."

Ye Yun'an came over and pulled Lu Dou: "Lu Dou, you take the medicine, I will accompany you, and I won't eat snacks either."

Green Bean said dissatisfiedly: "Ruyi has already promised to make snacks for me."

Seeing that Doctor Li was about to stay to watch the show again, Ye Mingzhu winked at Ye Lang and asked him to send Doctor Li back.

After they left, Jiang Hongyu came back after a while with a calm expression on his face.

"Brother-in-law, you're back. Ruyi said she would make snacks for us after she bought some food." Green Bean was the first to step forward and speak.

Ye Mingzhu smiled. It seemed that she was afraid of drinking mung beans after taking medicine these days.

Jiang Hongyu touched Luodou's head, said a few words to him, and let him go play first.

Ye Yun'an tactfully pulled Ludou away, letting Jiang Hongyu and Ye Mingzhu talk.

"I asked the boatman and he said we can leave in the afternoon," said Jiang Hongyu.

There was reluctance in Ye Mingzhu's eyes, but this was something that had been agreed upon long ago. She forced a smile and said, "Then I'll go pack your things and ask Ruyi to make you some food. You can eat before leaving."

Jiang Hongyu nodded, and the two of them went into the house.

"After we leave, if you need to buy anything, ask Ye Lang to accompany you. Try not to argue with others. If anything happens, you can tell them about your identity as a county lord."

Jiang Hongyu was a little worried and blurted out everything that came to his mind.
