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 495 Being Picked on
"You, I asked you to go with Green Bean, and he locked himself in the door as soon as he came back, and you still don't know anything."
Ye Mingzhu deliberately criticized Ye Yun'an and winked at him.
"Sister, you don't know. That maid brought me to the garden and left me there to look at the flowers. Then she left. What was a grown man like me looking at..."
Ye Yun'an couldn't continue speaking because Ye Mingzhu twisted his arm.
"I asked you to coax Luodou to open the door, not to say bad things about what's happening over there." Ye Mingzhu said in a low voice.
"Ouch, ouch..." Ye Yun'an took the opportunity to shout: "Sister, I didn't do anything, don't hit me, Green Bean, come out quickly, look, because you are unhappy, sister hits me."
Ye Mingzhu wanted to cover his mouth, wondering what he was saying. Unexpectedly, the door really opened and Ludou stood behind him with a stern face.
"Green Bean, what happened?" Ye Mingzhu stepped into the room and looked around. Everything in the room was normal, the most abnormal thing was Green Bean's expression.
"It's nothing, I'm just tired." After saying that, Green Bean sat down on the chair with a tired look on his face.
"Have you been talking to your mother for too long? You should take a rest and Yun'an will bring you food later." Ye Mingzhu could see that Ludou was worried and had no intention of leaving.
"Mung Bean, I see your mother brought you a lot of things, including clothes and food. Take a look and see if there's anything you like and ask Aunt Ping to make it for you."
"I don't want to eat," Lu Dou shook his head and looked at Ye Mingzhu again: "Sister, my mother gave me these things, aren't you angry?"
"Why should I be angry? Your mother cares about you and I am so happy for you." Ye Mingzhu said with a smile.
"But, but, my mother wants me to move in." Lu Dou hesitated for a long time, but still didn't say what Mrs. Lu said. He was afraid that Ye Mingzhu would be angry and stop loving him.
"Well," Ye Mingzhu hesitated, "Ludou, do you want to move in? Although I'm reluctant to let you go, if you want to move in and live with your mother for a while, that's fine. After all, you haven't seen each other for so long."
"I don't want to go." Green Bean answered quickly. His mother was too fond of crying now. If what he said was not to her liking, she would start crying. He really didn't understand why his mother had so many tears.
Ye Mingzhu didn't ask why, but just said: "Both sides are your home. You can live wherever you want. If you want to move there, I will pack your things for you. I will be happy if you are willing to stay."
Although Green Bean smiled and nodded, he was still a little unhappy.
He always felt that Madam Lu's visit this time was too strange. She said she only brought Pinellia ternata, so how did she get here? This place is a thousand miles away from the capital. It would be too dangerous for two women to come here from the capital.
But Mrs. Lu didn't mention any of this. When he asked her how long she would live here, she was vague. All of this was not normal.
Green Bean had doubts in his heart, but he couldn't tell anyone else, so he could only pretend not to know.
Not only did Ye Mingzhu not ask, she also didn't allow Ye Yun'an to ask.
"These matters are between Green Bean and his mother. There's no overnight hatred between mother and son. We don't know what the problem is between them now, so it's better not to get involved. Otherwise, if there are any problems in the future, it will affect the brotherhood between you and Green Bean."
Ye Mingzhu hopes to make Luodou happier, but Mrs. Lu is a little impatient to win Luodou over. She sends someone to pick him up almost every day.
At the beginning, Green Bean always had a smile on his face when he went out, but as time went by, the smile on his face became less and less, and he spent more and more time practicing boxing.
Whenever someone sent by Mrs. Lu came to call Ludou, Ludou would ask the other person to wait for a while.
During this period, Lu Dou went to see Mrs. Lu by himself, while Ye Yun'an stayed at home. Ye Mingzhu couldn't get anything out of Lu Dou and could only worry.
Soon, she began to worry about another thing. Jiang Hongyu had been coming back very late for several days in a row. There were salt stains on his clothes, which looked like they were soaked in sea water.
Ye Mingzhu asked Jiang Hongyu if he fell into the sea. Jiang Hongyu smiled and said it was okay, but the fatigue between his brows was obvious.
Ye Mingzhu deliberately chose the day when Ye Wu was resting and stopped Ye Wu who was about to go out.
"Fifth brother, has anything happened recently? I see Hongyu's clothes are wet every day when he comes home."
Ye Wu said this with a look of displeasure on his face: "Recently, a new commander came to the army. I don't know if he dislikes Hongyu, but he drills Hongyu almost every day."
Ye Mingzhu's first reaction was that this person had a grudge against the Jiang family. She asked worriedly, "Where did this commander come from? Have you known each other before?"
"I don't know him. I asked Hongyu, and he said he didn't know Ling Tongzhi. He also said that Ling Tongzhi trained him for his own good, to make him obey the crowd. But I think Ling Tongzhi did it on purpose. Otherwise, he wouldn't always stare at Hongyu. I've noticed him several times."
Ye Wu's reaction was very sharp. He had already told Jiang Hongyu about this, but Jiang Hongyu believed that Ling Tongzhi had no ill will towards him and did not allow him to tell his family.
However, now that Ye Mingzhu was asking the question, he certainly couldn't hide it from his sister, so it wouldn't count as him telling his family on his own initiative.
Ling Tongzhi? Ye Mingzhu thought about it, but couldn't figure out the reason.
In the evening, Jiang Hongyu came back late again. Ye Mingzhu watched him go home and take a shower first, sighed, and asked Yunniang to take out the hot food in the pot.
Ye Yun'an and Lu Dou followed closely behind and came in.
As soon as Green Bean entered the house, he asked, "Where's my brother-in-law? I haven't seen him for many days."
"Your brother-in-law has been very busy lately and is not often at home. You also go out often, so you haven't met him. Wait until he is done with his busy schedule, and let him take you out shopping." Ye Mingzhu said with a smile.
"Let's wait for my brother-in-law here." Green Bean sat on the chair: "My brother-in-law hasn't seen me practice boxing for many days."
Ye Yun'an also nodded: "When will Uncle Yan come back? Yun'an and I have already practiced all the boxing techniques we learned."
Ye Mingzhu could not answer this question. They wrote a letter to Uncle Yan before coming to Linchang, but they didn't know whether Uncle Yan had received the letter. However, they told Uncle Yan that they were coming to Linchang. If Uncle Yan came to Linchang, he would definitely be able to find them.
The three of them were talking when Jiang Hongyu came out with a noticeable bruise on his face. Ye Mingzhu immediately stepped forward and asked, "What happened? Was it Ling who beat him up?"
Jiang Hongyu tilted his head to the side and said softly, "That's Ling Tongzhi. Don't mention the last name Ling. It would be bad if others heard it."
Luodou and Ye Yun'an both saw the injuries on his face and gathered around him.
Green Bean frowned and asked, "Brother-in-law, what is Ling Tongzhi?"
The surname Ling is not common.
