Chapter 138 News from the Sea
Jiang Hongyu waited in the yard for a while before coming back. He took a look inside the house and there seemed to be no changes.
"Are you looking for something?" Ye Mingzhu felt a little amused as she watched Jiang Hongyu looking around in a self-proclaimed covert manner.
"I want to see where you put all your things. I can't seem to find them." Jiang Hongyu simply looked around openly.
Ye Mingzhu smiled cunningly: "No one else can find the things I hide."
Jiang Hongyu was just taking a look, and since he couldn't see anything, he let it go. He took off his coat and said, "I feel relieved to leave the things with you. Go to bed early. You've been tired all day."
Since getting married, the two have been sleeping together. It was a bit awkward at first, but they gradually got used to it. Although they have not consummated their marriage, they have become accustomed to sleeping together.
Both of them slept well that night. When Ye Mingzhu woke up, it was already bright outside and the place next to her was cold.
Ye Mingzhu went out and saw Jiang Hongyu staring blankly at a basin of water: "Is there something wrong with this water?"
Jiang Hongyu turned around and said, "There's nothing wrong. I just dismantled the stove too early yesterday, so I can only wash my face with cold water today."
Ye Mingzhu didn't care. She had been to the sea many times recently and was immune to cold water.
But she ignored the difference between well water and sea water, and was startled by the cold.
Jiang Hongyu found her actions a little funny: "Just wash it up, I'll take you out for dinner."
Ye Mingzhu quickly washed her face, packed up, and the two of them walked out together.
As soon as I walked out the door, I ran into my neighbor, an older woman about the same age as Aunt Jiang. She asked enthusiastically, "Why are you out so early? Are you going to buy groceries?"
Ye Mingzhu smiled slightly: "Yes, let's go out and buy something."
"Then you can go to the West Market to buy some. All the vegetable vendors in the village are there, so it's still fresh." The aunt looked them over and asked, "Are you newly married? Where did you live before?"
The aunt asked about the two people's backgrounds in various ways.
Ye Mingzhu looked at the sun rising higher and higher, and the smile on her face faded a little: "Auntie, let's go shopping first, we can talk later."
The auntie's smile faded a little and she waved her hand: "Then go ahead. I live next to you. If you have any problems, you can come to me."
Ye Mingzhu smiled and thanked him, then quickly took Jiang Hongyu and left.
The smile on the aunt's face disappeared instantly. She looked at the big sun in the sky and whispered, "Sleeping in at this time and getting up now, what a lazy woman."
Fortunately, she didn't know that the two of them went out for breakfast, otherwise she wouldn't know how she would criticize them behind their backs.
"It seems that the house we bought is the only one in this alley that has been frequently moved, so everyone is very curious about the people who live in this house. When I moved my things in here a few days ago, someone asked me if I had found any treasures in the house."
Jiang Hongyu told his neighbors what he had learned over the past few days.
"It seems that everyone is very curious about the treasures in this house." Ye Mingzhu secretly told herself not to mention the treasures in the house no matter where she was. Those things must never be taken out in Pinggu Town.
The neighbors all know about the treasure, which means that everyone believes there is a treasure in the house, but it also means that everyone thinks the treasure is hard to find.
"Well, when Yun'an comes, we will look around. If we find the treasure, we will get rich." Jiang Hongyu cooperated with Ye Mingzhu.
Ye Mingzhu nodded: "I'll look for it when we get back. I think the soil in the small garden is a little loose. I'll look there first."
Jiang Hongyu cooperated and said that he would go buy a hoe later.
Someone nearby heard their conversation and shook his head. The house had been empty for a while. Although it was locked on the surface, it had welcomed several groups of people at night. If the treasure was so easy to find, it would have been found long ago.
Jiang Hongyu had long noticed that someone was paying attention to them, and he also understood that since they bought this house, there must be a lot of people paying attention to them.
Ye Mingzhu said a few words and then stopped talking. Her attention was attracted by the food around her.
The two men had a big meal on the street, bought some common items and put them back in the house.
On the way, we met some "enthusiastic" neighbors who talked about treasures.
After finally returning home, Ye Mingzhu had a wry smile on her face: "I didn't expect so many people to pay attention to this house."
"We just bought this house, and many people are eyeing it. It should be fine after a while when everyone realizes that we haven't found the treasure." Jiang Hongyu didn't believe that anyone would keep paying attention to this house unless the target was the treasure.
Jiang Hongyu put down the things in his hands, changed into patrol clothes, and went straight to the street.
Ye Mingzhu stayed at home and sorted out everything.
The things in this house were all newly bought, and there wasn't much that needed to be cleaned. After Ye Mingzhu sorted things out, she had nothing to do, so she simply went to Linglong Pavilion, and unexpectedly saw Uncle Ye.
Uncle Ye was very happy: "Mingzhu, you haven't been back to the village for a long time. Your aunt misses you."
Ye Mingzhu also smiled and said, "I miss Third Aunt too. Next time when Brother Yu is on leave, Brother Yu and I will go back to the village."
"Well, where do you live now? I'll go and get to know you. Next time I come, I'll bring you some food. You need to buy everything in this town." Uncle Ye's enthusiasm made Ye Mingzhu a little overwhelmed.
"We live in the alley behind the bookstore. Uncle San can come over and sit for a while when he's free." Ye Mingzhu felt a headache when she thought about what the people in the alley thought of the house. She didn't know how she would tell her uncle San when the time came.
Fortunately, Uncle Ye was just talking, and he was not going to Ye Mingzhu's house today. After all, Jiang Hongyu was on duty, and it was not convenient for him to go directly to his niece's house.
"I have to go collect pearls today, so I won't go. I'll go next time." Uncle Ye said. Someone called him and he said, "I have to go quickly. There are more people at sea recently, and the price of buying pearls is a bit lower."
Ye Mingzhu asked, "Have many people gone to the sea recently?"
Uncle Ye was in a hurry to leave, so he just smiled and said, "The sea in our Pinggu Town is famous for its pearls and big fish. Everyone says they come here because of its reputation."
Ye Mingzhu frowned: The production of pearls and big fish here is not a recent thing, there must be something else.
Uncle Ye had already left, and Sister Chunhua was busy, so she just took a walk around Linglong Pavilion and left.
With something on her mind, she lost the mood to go shopping and slowly strolled back home.
At the doorstep, Aunt Jiang was chatting with the aunt next door, and the two of them were talking and laughing.
Seeing Ye Mingzhu coming back, the aunt next door waved to her happily: "Ye, your mother-in-law is here."
Ye Mingzhu: ...
