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 66 The Restaurant is Bustling

Ye Yun'an stuffed a piece of meat into his mouth and spoke in a slurred voice: "Uncle, sister, why don't you eat?"

Wang Dahu picked up a meat pie for Ye Yun'an: "Uncle eats quickly, you eat it."

Ye Mingzhu had almost finished her meal and felt a little thirsty, so she called the waiter to come and pour her some water.

After pouring the water, the waiter looked outside the door.

Wang Dahu casually asked, "What's so exciting and exciting?"

The waiter chuckled twice and whispered, "Two women are fighting over one man, and they're still fighting outside."

Wang Dahu asked the waiter to leave and shook his head: "I don't know whose family it is. They've been making such a fuss for so long, and they haven't left yet."

Ye Mingzhu was also a little curious. She dared to go to the restaurant to compete for a man. Could she be a brothel girl?

Her eyes lit up instantly. She had never seen a brothel girl before and really wanted to go and see her. She couldn't help but speed up. Seeing this, Ye Yun'an stuffed the food into his mouth even faster.

Seeing that Ye Yun'an was about to choke on his food, Wang Dahu put the water in front of him with a smile: "We are fine, there is no rush, just eat slowly."

Ye Yun'an swallowed the food in his mouth and said embarrassedly: "The food here is really delicious."

Ye Mingzhu had finished eating and said with a smile: "I'll bring you here to eat next month. If you are full, don't eat anymore, otherwise you will have a stomachache."

Ye Yun'an reluctantly put down his chopsticks and looked at the two meat patties on the table with some entanglement: "I haven't finished the meat patties yet."

"Ask the waiter to pack it for us, and get a smoked chicken for dinner."

Wang Dahu called the waiter to come and pack up the food, and then took out the money to pay the bill.

Ye Mingzhu said that she had money, and Wang Dahu glared at her: "Why? I have my uncle here, and I still need you to give me money."

Ye Mingzhu had no choice but to take the silver and money back, thinking about whether she should prepare some more things for her uncle when he left. No matter how valuable the things were, they were all a token of her thoughtfulness.

Ye Yun'an waited for Wang Dahu to finish paying the bill, then pulled Ye Mingzhu out the door: "Sister, let's go see what's going on."

While eating just now, Ye Yun'an heard the noisy noise outside, but the food was so delicious that he didn't want to go out. Now that he was full, of course he wanted to join in the fun.

Just seeing the people arguing, Ye Mingzhu wanted to cover her face.

The man outside turned out to be Ye Yunkang.

"Yun'an, don't push forward," Ye Mingzhu held Ye Yun'an back, "my second cousin is inside, don't let him see you."

Ye Yun'an not only did not retreat, but squeezed forward a little: "Then I want to see, it must be my second cousin who was beaten by Lin Yujiao while protecting Lu Jingya."

I have to say, Ye Yun'an's truth is revealed.

Lu Jingya hid behind Ye Yunkang and tried to leave several times, but was caught by Lin Yujiao every time.

Seeing that more and more people were gathering around, Ye Yunkang couldn't leave even if he wanted to. After being hit by Lin Yujiao several times, he became furious: "Lin Yujiao, what on earth are you going to do?"

The dark and strong Lin Yujiao said stubbornly, "Cousin, you are still protecting this damn girl. My mother said that if you don't apologize, she won't let me marry you."

Ye Yunkang's eyes were filled with disdain: "We'll talk about these things when we get back. Let us go first."

Lin Yujiao panted heavily, with her hands on her hips, like a fat teapot: "Okay, cousin, you can go now. Go back and prepare ten taels of betrothal gifts and hand over this damn girl."

Ye Yunkang naturally refused. Lu Jingya didn't know what she said behind him, and Ye Yunkang protected her even more closely.

"Uncle, is ten taels of silver a lot of betrothal gifts?" Ye Yun'an asked Wang Dahu in a low voice.

A tall, thin man nearby heard this and explained with a smile, "Of course it's more. In the village, some people only give gifts, and some even just give things without a betrothal gift. Ten taels of betrothal gift can marry a girl from the town."

"I don't know what kind of family this man comes from. That fat guy actually wants a betrothal gift of ten taels?" A short, pale-faced man nearby also came over to comment.

Ye Mingzhu lowered her head. These people were too curious.

Wang Dahu noticed that there were more and more people, most of them were men, so he pulled Ye Yun'an out. Ye Yun'an was a little reluctant to leave, so Wang Dahu whispered, "There are too many people here, let's go first. If you want to watch the fun, you can go home and watch it later."

Ye Yun'an's eyes rolled around: "Okay, when I get back I'll get someone to keep an eye on my uncle's family."

Ye Mingzhu shook her head, and the three of them left the crowd.

Before I had gone a hundred meters, I heard someone shouting, "Ah, who is it? My purse is missing."

"Ah, who is it? Who touched me?" An angry female voice came from someone who seemed quite old.

Wang Dahu asked Ye Yun'an to look back and taught him a lesson: "Try not to watch such a lively scene. Some people will take advantage of the situation, lose their wallets, be taken advantage of, and there are even human traffickers waiting here. In short, the lively scene is not good for you to watch."

Ye Mingzhu nodded, thinking that what Wang Dahu said was absolutely right. In ancient times, there were not many yamen runners. Whether it was losing money or losing face, the probability of getting it back was not high. As for being taken advantage of, one could only endure it. In ancient times, chastity was more important than anything else.

Ye Yun'an had a learned expression on his face, and said that he would stay away from such a commotion next time.

"But I can't miss seeing my second cousin's fun. I'll go see it when I get back to the village."

Wang Dahu looked at Ye Yun'an with a smile: "How did you know that this excitement could spread to the village?"

"My uncle will know in a moment."

Ye Mingzhu knew what Ye Yun'an meant. Not all uncles were willing to take care of their nephews and nieces like his younger uncle, spending both money and effort.

Some people would like to peel off the skin of their married sisters, so they will naturally not be polite to their nephews.

Wang Dahu went to buy some snacks for Ye Mingzhu and her brother, and the three of them went back in the village ox cart.

After putting down his things, Wang Dahu went back to the house, changed his clothes, took a hoe, and started to plow the soil in the yard. While he was there, he planted some vegetables so that the whole family would have something to eat.

When Ye's father and mother were around, the vegetable garden at home was full of vegetables. Later, the siblings went to Uncle Ye's house for dinner, and all the vegetables in the house were picked by Lin, who didn't care about watering them. When Ye Mingzhu came, there were no vegetables left in the yard.

Although the Jiang family's yard was planned as a vegetable plot, neither Aunt Jiang nor Jiang Hongyu knew how to grow vegetables. Jiang Hongyu left home after getting married, so there were no vegetables there. These days, when they wanted to eat vegetables, they would go to the families in the village who had more vegetables to buy some.

Ye Yun'an also took a hoe and followed Wang Dahu, saying that he wanted to learn how to plow the soil, and that the family's land would be handed over to him in the future.

Ye Mingzhu also wanted to help, but was directly rejected by the two men, who said that these were rough jobs and men could do them. Ye Mingzhu wanted to go to the kitchen to boil some water for the two of them, but Ye Yun'an ran to the kitchen and lit the fire.

"Sister, the water will boil in a moment, and you can just pour it out. Can you do that?"

Ye Mingzhu gritted her teeth and squeezed out a word from her back teeth: "Yes."

Ye Yun'an looked worried: "How about I watch you here and make sure you don't get burned."

Ye Mingzhu pushed him out directly. This was underestimating her. Could it be that she couldn't even scoop water?

It turned out that scooping water was not difficult, but the difficult part was how to carry the bowl of hot water to the yard. There were no suitable tools at home.

Finally, she found a wooden plank and carried two bowls of water to the garden: "Uncle, Yun'an, you two should take a rest and drink some water."

As the two stood up, the door was opened with a bang, and Ye Mingzhu was so scared that she almost dropped the wooden board in her hand.
