Chapter 123 A Farce
"Sister, you saved me and found a place for me to stay. I will be grateful to you for the rest of my life." Ruan Linlin knelt down again.
Ye Mingzhu quickly pulled her up: "Sister Ruan, it's fate that we met. Don't kneel to me anymore."
She really couldn't get used to someone kneeling to her. It wasn't like they were in a palace drama, so there was really nothing to kneel to.
"This house belongs to a friend of mine. You can live here for a while. I wonder what arrangements Sister Ruan has for the future?" Ye Mingzhu asked after Ruan Linlin sat down on the chair.
Ruan Linlin's expression was a little confused. Although she had followed her father in business since she was a child, and had a father before and a husband after getting married, she really didn't have much say in her own decisions.
Now that she was suddenly asked to make the final decision, her eyes were filled with confusion.
"I have an idea for you, sister. I own a farm not far from the county town. You can stay there for a few days. It's close to the county town and there are many opportunities. You can think about your future plans slowly."
Ye Mingzhu came up with this idea after entering the Lin residence. Uncle Fu's attitude towards her was respectful and polite. It was okay to stay there for a day or two occasionally, but it was probably not a place for her to live permanently.
Ruan Linlin's life experience is pitiful, but her husband has not left Pinggu Town yet. If someone sees her, some things will be difficult to explain.
"Okay, I'll go to my sister's farm." Ruan Linlin agreed without asking any questions.
"Apart from the tenant farmers, there are only one family and a few guards on my farm. It's quiet with few people." Ye Mingzhu briefly recounted what happened on the farm, thinking that they would send Ruan Linlin there when Jiang Hongyu took a day off next time.
The two talked for a while, and Uncle Yan came. Ye Mingzhu asked Ruan Linlin to stay here for a few days and then send her to the farm.
After leaving the Lin residence, Uncle Yan took Ye Mingzhu to meet Jiang Hongyu first. He was patrolling the street. The two of them only exchanged a few words before parting ways.
Ye Mingzhu had nothing to do, so she went to Linglong Pavilion to see how the latest jewelry was selling. Unexpectedly, she also watched a play.
In Linglong Pavilion, a fair and handsome man was bargaining with Sister Chunhong: "I already bought two pieces of jewelry, why are you only giving me a pearl ring?"
Sister Chunhong's face was full of smiles: "Sir, pearl rings are limited. They can only be given to you if you buy 20 taels of jewelry. This is an extra gift from me."
The woman next to the handsome man leaned on him, holding his hand and acting coquettishly: "Brother Ning, you promised me to buy me a gold hairpin. This hairpin is so small, and the pearls on the ring you gave me are too small and not shiny enough. The pearls on the ring next to it are big and round. Which one do I want?"
Ye Mingzhu got goose bumps when she heard this voice. The handsome man was very pleased. He lifted the woman's hand and squeezed it: "You are so beautiful, how can you wear a gold hairpin? It will make you look old. I will buy you a silver bracelet, which will make your hands look slender."
After hearing this, Chunhong took out a hollow silver bracelet and handed it to him: "Sir, this silver bracelet was made this month. It is heavy and exquisite."
The woman snatched the bracelet with a look of surprise and put it on her hand: "Brother Ning, I like this bracelet, let's buy it."
"This bracelet makes your hands look whiter and more delicate." Sister Chunhong complimented the woman.
"How much is this bracelet?" asked the handsome man.
"Ten taels of silver."
"Ten taels?" The handsome man's voice became louder. "Why don't you just go and rob?"
Sister Chunhong looked at the handsome man in surprise: "Sir, our store has been open for so many years, but no one has ever said this."
What I mean is that if you are poor, don't say that things here are expensive.
Several women who were shopping nearby looked over here with disdain in their eyes, and someone even whispered, "The things in Linglong Pavilion are so cheap and good, and yet there are still people who think they're too expensive?"
"I don't know where this bumpkin came from."
The woman's face darkened, tears welling in her eyes: "Brother Ning, won't you buy it for me? I've been with you for so many years, and you're reluctant to buy me just a bracelet? Otherwise, otherwise, I'll take it off..."
Having said that, the woman kept touching the bracelet and was reluctant to take it off.
Sister Chunhong looked at the two of them with a smile on her face. Later, the woman said something in the handsome man's ear, and the handsome man gave him the money. He also insisted that Sister Chunhong give him a small ring before he would stop.
After the two men left, Ye Mingzhu came forward. Sister Chunhong cleaned up the counter and took Ye Mingzhu to the compartment.
"Sister-in-law, was there something wrong with that person just now?" Ye Mingzhu asked.
Sister Chunhong is the top seller at Linglong Pavilion. She speaks politely and humorously, but she is not like she was today, being indifferent and a little disdainful.
"That man is not a good person. He brought his wife to the store two days ago and was reluctant to buy anything. In the end, he only bought the cheapest silver hairpin. Today, he brought this woman to the store again, saying that the things in our store are not good and not worthy of them."
Sister Chunhong's voice was filled with contempt: "Such a man is not a good one."
Ye Mingzhu was not angry at all. He was reluctant to buy things for his wife, but was eager to please women outside. There are many men like this in modern times.
Sister Chunhong said a few more words and then stopped. She asked Ye Mingzhu to have some snacks and then told her about the business in the store again.
Ye Mingzhu nodded continuously. Mr. Lin was very good at both vision and store management. Therefore, the jewelry from Linglong Pavilion sold very well in Pinggu Town, and now it was showing signs of becoming a leader.
After sitting for a while, Ye Mingzhu came out. Uncle Yan was waiting outside, staring blankly at the front.
"Uncle Yan, what happened ahead?" Ye Mingzhu looked ahead.
"Someone twisted his ankle while walking carelessly on the street and smashed a roadside stall. He didn't want to pay compensation, so the stall owner grabbed him and beat him up," said Uncle Yan.
Ye Mingzhu always felt that Uncle Yan's expression was a little strange, and nodded.
"Why don't we go and take a look?" Uncle Yan suggested.
Ye Mingzhu was even more puzzled. Could it be that Uncle Yan was a very curious person?
But there is nothing to do today, so it’s okay for the two of us to go and take a look.
When they went over, the area was already crowded with people. Ye Mingzhu went to the high platform of the shop next door, where she could just see Uncle Yan standing below her, protecting her.
The two young men and women in the middle of the crowd were the two who had just bought jewelry in Linglong Pavilion. There was also a dark and thin middle-aged man who was pulling the handsome man's arm and shouting something.
"These two guys hit Lao Hei's stall. If they don't get hurt today, they won't be able to leave here."
"Who told that man to be so lustful? You didn't see that he was so busy flirting with that woman that he didn't notice the stone on the side of the road that hit Lao Hei's stall."
…
Ye Mingzhu listened to the discussions of the people around her and looked at Uncle Yan who had an expressionless face.
She felt that this farce had something to do with Uncle Yan, but did those two people offend Uncle Yan?
