Chapter 117 Physical Condition
Before Ye Mingzhu could speak, Jiang Hongyu continued, "Uncle Yan followed us all the way here. He also taught me martial arts, and we have a master-disciple relationship."
"Besides, Mom has raised me for so many years, I really can't say anything to stop her."
Jiang Hongyu lowered his head as he spoke. He could no longer remember what his father looked like, but he had never really thought about letting his mother remarry, and he tried his best to avoid this issue.
He originally wanted to ask his mother, but his mother had gone to the mountains early in the morning. He didn't want to embarrass his mother, so he could only avoid it.
If my mother really wanted to live with Uncle Yan, he probably wouldn't be able to object.
"Mingzhu, I don't want to agree, but I can't say anything against it. Mother and Uncle Yan, it's not easy for them."
Ye Mingzhu thought for a moment and said, "Let's wait until Mom comes back before we discuss this matter. No matter who we spend the day with or how we spend it, the most important thing is that Mom is happy."
Jiang Hongyu had no other choice but to nod.
The two of them went to pack up the things they brought back and distribute them to relatives and friends today.
They went to the village chief's house first. When Village Chief Ye saw them coming back, the wrinkles on his face relaxed a little.
Although the imperial court was relatively confident in these exiles and allowed them to move around in the county, it was risky for them to go out. If they didn't come back, his position as village chief would be over.
Jiang Hongyu put the things he brought on the table: "Uncle, this is for you. It's not much, please don't mind."
Village Chief Ye wanted to refuse, but Ye Mingzhu had already taken the village chief's wife's arm and said, "Aunt, it's nothing expensive, just some snacks. I brought a bottle of medicinal wine for my uncle. People say it won't hurt your body if you drink it."
The village head's wife smiled broadly as she patted the back of Ye Mingzhu's hand: "Our Mingzhu is sensible. Hongyu, you must treat our Mingzhu well in the future."
"Look, after you married her, your family built a big house, and you went to work as a yamen runner in town. Now you can buy so many things when you go out."
Village Chief Ye glared at his wife. "What are you saying? Isn't that just saying Jiang Hongyu is a gigolo?" Others may not know, but he knows that the money for building the house came from the Jiang family.
The village head's wife glared back. "So what? Without the Ye family's daughter, how could Jiang Hongyu build a house in the village? Would the villagers allow it?"
Jiang Hongyu acted as if he hadn't noticed the eye contact between the two and said with a smile, "I will definitely treat my wife well, uncle and aunt, don't worry."
Ye Mingzhu lowered her head slightly and said shyly, "Auntie, he is very good to me."
The village chief's wife then smiled and nodded. She wanted to say that she wanted to have a child as soon as possible, but suddenly remembered that Ye Mingzhu's health was not well yet, so she swallowed her words.
After the things were delivered, the two of them didn't plan to stay any longer. Ye Mingzhu and Jiang Hongyu looked at each other, and Ye Mingzhu smiled and said, "Uncle, aunt, we won't sit here any longer. We have to go see my third uncle and aunt."
"Go ahead. I saw your Third Uncle go out early this morning. Your Third Aunt must be at home. She has been visiting your house every day these days. She will be relieved when you come back."
The village chief's wife sent the two men out, watched them walk towards Uncle Ye's house, and then glanced in the direction of Uncle Ye's house.
"Dahai is in charge. Alas, it's no wonder that my niece ignores him." Village Chief Ye sighed.
The village head's wife frowned and said, "Don't speak for Ye Dahai. Their family is in chaos right now."
Village chief Ye didn't want to care about Uncle Ye's family affairs. He wanted to go back to the house and hide the wine.
The village chief's wife chased him into the house and said, "That's good wine. Don't drink it all. Save it for the New Year."
Village Chief Ye pretended not to hear and quickly went into the house.
On the other side, Jiang Hongyu and Ye Mingzhu encountered some troubles.
As soon as they came out of Village Chief Ye’s house, they met Ye Yunkang and Lu Jingya.
Lu Jingya leaned shyly in Ye Yunkang's arms. The two of them walked like conjoined twins, and passers-by looked at them sideways.
The two people acted as if they didn't see anything and continued talking to each other. Lu Jingya even patted Ye Yunkang's arm from time to time.
Ye Mingzhu had no intention of greeting them and was prepared to pretend not to see them.
But Ye Yunkang insisted on stopping her: "Mingzhu, are you back? These things are for my parents, give them to me."
Jiang Hongyu dodged Ye Yunkang's hand directly. Ye Mingzhu glanced at him and said, "These things are not for you."
Ye Yunkang rolled his eyes and said, "Why, your uncle and aunt are gone, and you don't even recognize your elders?"
Ye Mingzhu's face immediately darkened. "I think you're just a little lamb running into a herd of donkeys, trying to act big. The village chief knows everything. We'll just be ordinary relatives from now on. Why are you stopping me on the road? Are you planning to rob me? Should we call all the villagers out to see what's going on?"
Ye Yunkang ruined her good mood and she didn't even want to look at them.
"What are you talking about, Sister Mingzhu? We are family. It's not that I'm pregnant, but Brother Kang thought you were sending this to us." Lu Jingya stared at Jiang Hongyu with a smile, the thing in her hand.
Ye Mingzhu didn't give her any face: "What does your pregnancy have to do with me? The child is not mine. You think you can just snatch things away. Why don't you go to heaven!"
The smile on Lu Jingya's face froze. She didn't expect that after not seeing each other for a few days, Ye Mingzhu spoke so directly and didn't give her any face at all.
Ye Yunkang was so angry that he took a step forward and raised his hand. Jiang Hongyu stood in front of Ye Mingzhu and asked, "What do you want to do?"
Ye Yunkang's face flushed red. He still remembered the set of punches that Jiang Hongyu performed when Ye Mingzhu got married.
Ye Mingzhu took Jiang Hongyu's hand and glanced at the two of them: "If you meet us on the road in the future, you can just pretend you don't see us."
Jiang Hongyu looked at Ye Yunkang with a dangerous look in his eyes.
Ye Yunkang stepped back in fear. Lu Jingya narrowed her eyes and quickly helped Ye Yunkang up: "Brother Kang, let's go back first. Mom and Dad don't know I'm pregnant yet."
Ye Yunkang reacted and said loudly: "Yes, let's go home and let our parents be happy with us. Some people want to have it but can't, tsk tsk tsk tsk..."
Jiang Hongyu turned around again and looked at Ye Yunkang as if he was looking at a dead person. He was so scared that he shuddered and hurried home with Lu Jingya.
Ye Mingzhu tugged at his sleeve and said, "We can't argue with others when they spray feces. It stinks!"
Jiang Hongyu was stunned and said, "Don't worry, my mother is a very good doctor and will definitely be able to cure you."
Ye Mingzhu was not worried at all. She felt in good health and enjoyed everything she ate. She had no obsession with having a child. After all, this body of hers was still young.
Seeing that Ye Mingzhu didn't say anything, Jiang Hongyu put the matter to the bottom of his heart and prepared to go back and ask Aunt Jiang to take Ye Mingzhu's pulse.
Because of this incident, they did not stay long at Uncle Ye's house. Although Fang tried her best to keep them, Jiang Hongyu still refused, saying that he was a little tired after being outside for a few days and wanted to go back and rest early.
Ye Mingzhu thought what he said was true and said they would have dinner together in two days. Fang had no choice but to let the two of them go back.
When they returned home, Aunt Jiang had already returned. Jiang Hongyu pulled Ye Mingzhu over to sit in front of Aunt Jiang and said, "Mom, can you check Mingzhu's pulse and see how she is recovering?"
