Chapter 52 My uncle is here

Ye Mingzhu looked at the tall man and tentatively called out, "Uncle?"

"Hey!" Wang Dahu agreed happily, stretched out his arm and then retracted it. Mingzhu was already a grown-up girl, and it would not be appropriate for him to hug her anymore.

Ye Mingzhu hadn't reacted yet. How come Wang Dahu came just after Jiang Hongyu left?

"Mingzhu, are you building a new house?" Wang Dahu's face was filled with joy. "Did your father go into the sea business? Why isn't your mother home?"

Ye Mingzhu didn't know how to answer, and she was silent for a moment.

Wang Dahu was still speaking cheerfully, "Mingzhu, I bought you a piece of very beautiful cloth for your wedding. Your uncle came back late, but I bought you a lot of things to make up for it. Are you not angry with your uncle anymore?"

Ye Mingzhu continued to remain silent. The original owner was gone, and so were his parents. How could he say this?

Wang Dahu was a little panicked when he saw that she was silent: "Mingzhu, are you really angry with your uncle?"

"Sister." Ye Yun'an ran over from a distance. Seeing his sister with a sullen face and a tall man, he instantly became angry and rushed towards the tall man.

Wang Dahu staggered and almost fell, but he didn't show any anger. He stood firm and patted Ye Yun'an on the head: "Little Anzi, look who I am?"

In Ye Yun'an's memory, there was only one person who called him that. He looked at Ye Mingzhu.

Ye Mingzhu nodded in confirmation: "This is my uncle."

"Uncle!" Ye Yun'an cried and threw herself into Wang Dahu's arms: "Uncle, where have you been? Why haven't you come to see me and my sister for so long? Don't you want me and my sister anymore?"

Wang Dahu was originally patting Ye Yun'an on the head with a smile, but the more he listened, the more he felt something was wrong. He gently patted Ye Yun'an's back to comfort him, and then used his eyes to ask Ye Mingzhu what was going on.

Ye Mingzhu had an urge to cry, which seemed to be the same emotion as the original owner. She turned around and wiped away a tear from the corner of her eye.

"Yun'an, open the door and let your uncle in. If you have anything to say, we can talk inside."

Ye Yun'an raised his head, his nose was red and there were tears in the corners of his eyes. He sobbed and opened the gate.

Wang Dahu moved the two boxes on the ground inside and immediately saw the door that led to the next door. "Xiao Anzi, why did you build such a big house?"

Ye Yun'an also felt embarrassed at this time. He wiped his tears with his sleeve and replied casually: "That's my brother-in-law's house."

Wang Dahu almost dropped the box in his hand. His eyes widened and his voice became hoarse: "Brother-in-law? Is your sister married?"

Ye Yun'an was startled, but nodded: "We got married a few days ago."

Wang Dahu's face was full of dissatisfaction: "Mingzhu is only a few years old, and your parents have already betrothed her. She is the only daughter of your Ye family. I must talk to your father about this."

Tears rolled down Ye Yun'an's eyes: "Uncle, my parents are gone."

Wang Dahu rushed over to him, grabbed his arm, and asked loudly, "What do you mean your parents are gone? How did they die?"

Ye Yun'an cried so hard that he couldn't make a sound. Feelings of grievance and fear were swirling in his mind, and he just shook his head.

Ye Mingzhu stepped forward to rescue him: "Yun'an, go to the kitchen and boil some water. I'll talk to my uncle."

Wang Dahu loosened his grip and turned to Ye Mingzhu: "I'm not thirsty, Mingzhu, tell me what happened to your parents."

Ye Mingzhu waited until Ye Yun'an went to the kitchen before telling him what had happened during this period.

"Uncle, Yun'an is still young. When his parents first passed away, he couldn't accept it. He has only gotten better recently."

What it means is, don’t talk too much about your parents. They are gone, and the living still have to live.

Wang Dahu's attention was not on this. He asked angrily, "Your parents passed away, and instead of helping you, your uncle exploited you and made you and Xiao Anzi work for him. How did he do that?"

"You are his nephew and niece."

Ye Mingzhu's face was expressionless: "My uncle said they are nephews and nieces. My uncle has a big family to support, so how can he care about nephews and nieces?"

Wang Dahu stood up and said, "I want to ask how Ye Dahai could have the audacity to let you go into business and let Xiao Anzi do the work. Does this mean that our Wang family has no one left?"

Ye Mingzhu curled her lips. It was not as if there was no one in the Wang family. When Ye's father and mother were buried, someone went to Xinghua Village to deliver a letter, but Wang Dahu was not there. No other relatives of the Wang family wanted to come, so naturally the Ye family had the final say.

But so much time has passed, and Ye Mingzhu is married. She doesn't want to have anything to do with her uncle's family anymore.

"Uncle, it's all in the past. There's no need to mention it anymore." Ye Mingzhu shook her head and asked Wang Dahu to sit down. "No matter what, it's a fact that we ate at my uncle's house for half a year after my parents passed away. If we go back now, it would be unfair to us."

"I gave those pearls to my uncle's family, but we hardly have any contact now, so it's good that we don't interfere with each other."

Wang Dahu refused to do so: "Letting Ye Dahai go like this is too easy for him."

Ye Mingzhu thought about Uncle Ye's expression recently. Ever since he lost the silver and money in the chicken coop, his face has never been good. It is said that most of the pearl oysters collected from the sea do not contain pearls.

"Anyway, we're not at a loss," Ye Mingzhu waved her hand. "I get unhappy when I mention them, so let's not talk about them anymore."

Wang Dahu had been away from home for the past few years and noticed something on Ye Mingzhu's face. The anger on his face faded, and after a moment's thought, he asked, "Didn't you suffer any loss?"

Ye Mingzhu couldn't hide the smile in her eyes: "Well, we didn't suffer any loss."

That's good. Wang Dahu didn't ask about it anymore. He asked about her marriage again: "Why did you get married so quickly? Did that person threaten you?"

Ye Mingzhu wanted to hold her forehead with her hand. This must be paranoia.

"No, although his family was exiled, Jiang Hongyu treated me very well and agreed that I could support Yun'an in the future."

Wang Dahu's brows furrowed even more. "Is his family exiled? Your family only has you and Yun An now, and his family was exiled too. I'm afraid they won't be able to help you in the future."

Ye Mingzhu glanced at the kitchen and lowered her voice: "Uncle, there are so many people and things to do. Not many families can accept me taking Yun An with me. My mother-in-law has a good temper and medical skills. Although she was exiled, the Jiang family is very popular in the village."

This is a problem, after all, no one dares to offend the only doctor in the village.

Wang Dahu then revealed a thoughtful expression: "Are you sure they really want to treat you well?"

Ye Mingzhu simply spread her hands and said, "Uncle, look at my house, what is there that others would like? The Jiang family's new house next door is better than mine. Even if I can fish for pearls, I have a cold now and dare not go into the water often..."

"What? What's going on with this cold?" Wang Dahu was almost going crazy. Even though he was not a doctor, he knew that this cold could affect fertility.
