Chapter 141 Annoying Neighbors
"Mingzhu, go and see who is here." Jiang Hongyu turned around and said.
Ye Mingzhu was also a little curious. At this time, every household was preparing to eat, so who was knocking on the door?
She went to open the door. Outside was Ma Pozi, holding a handful of wilted vegetable leaves. A smile spread across her face. "Oh, young lady, I see your husband is back. Have you not cooked yet? I'll get you a handful of vegetable leaves, just in time for dinner."
The corner of Ye Mingzhu's mouth twitched. This bunch of leaves would probably fill the bottom of a plate. She didn't know if it was enough for one person, but she couldn't resist someone who smiled. She forced a smile and said, "No, auntie, I have vegetables at home."
Mrs. Ma pushed the door open vigorously: "You're welcome, I'll come in and take a look."
Ye Mingzhu was not being polite at all. She just didn't want to accept such kindness. She held the door tightly, but Ma Pozi couldn't push it open. She cursed inwardly and her face drooped.
"Oh, young lady, I have something to do with my husband. Why are you always blocking the door? We are neighbors, so why can't I enter your house?"
This was to put a accusation on their family. Although Ye Mingzhu was not afraid, she had just moved in and did not want to cause trouble, so she had to open the gate.
"Auntie, it's time to cook, and my family is busy too."
What I mean is, to make a long story short, everyone is busy.
Aunt Ma saw her open the door, squeezed in through the crack, and shouted as soon as she entered: "Jiang Yayi, are you home?"
Aunt Jiang was standing in the yard and couldn't help but frown when she heard the noise.
Jiang Hongyu came out of the kitchen after hearing the sound, looked at Ma Pozi, and cast a questioning look at Ye Mingzhu.
Ye Mingzhu pouted, meaning that the other person insisted on coming in and she couldn't stop him.
Ma Pozi handed the wilted vegetable leaves to Jiang Hongyu: "Yayi Jiang, this is for your dinner."
Jiang Hongyu didn't even look at the vegetable leaves. Instead, he took a step back and asked, "Aunt, is there anything I can help you with?"
Ma Pozi kept stuffing the vegetable leaves into Jiang Hongyu's arms. He frowned and said, "Auntie, if you have something to say, just say it. I have vegetables to eat at home."
Ye Mingzhu couldn't stand it any longer and interrupted, "Auntie, if you have something to say, please say it, otherwise it will be dark soon."
Ma Pozi glared at her and shook her head: "Young lady, you can't interrupt me when I'm talking to Yashi Jiang."
Jiang Hongyu was already a little impatient: "Auntie, we haven't eaten yet, if you have something to say, please tell me quickly."
Ma Pozi turned her head and a smile immediately appeared on her face. "Yayi Jiang, I see that you don't have many patrolmen every day. Are you still hiring? My son is strong and healthy, and he is very suitable to be a yamen runner."
Jiang Hongyu didn't expect her to make this request. He shook his head without hesitation and said, "Aunt, we are all under the jurisdiction of the county. If your son wants to be a yamen runner, he can go to the county government and ask."
Ma Pozi shrank her neck. She didn't dare to ask at the county government office. She said unwillingly, "If the yamen runners don't recruit, it's fine. You patrol so many places every day. If you see any recruits, come back and tell my son. My son can do anything."
Jiang Hongyu couldn't listen any longer, and even the perfunctory smile on his face faded: "Auntie, I just got here, and I don't recognize many people. You have lived in the county for so many years, so ask more acquaintances."
Mrs. Ma was about to speak when Jiang Hongyu looked up and said, "Mingzhu, please send Auntie out. We need to prepare dinner."
Ye Mingzhu immediately came over to pull Ma Pozi and said, "Auntie, we need to cook while it's still light, so we won't keep you here."
Mrs. Ma couldn't break free from Ye Mingzhu's hand. In her panic, the wilted vegetables in her hand fell to the ground. She cried out in surprise: "Oh, my vegetables, my vegetables!"
Ye Yun'an immediately picked it up and put it in her hand, then stepped back.
Ma Pozi quickly grabbed hold of her, and Ye Mingzhu took the opportunity to push her out and closed the door neatly.
Ma Pozi knocked on the door a few more times, and Ye Mingzhu said loudly, "Auntie, we are going to cook, so we won't entertain you."
Mrs. Ma heard the sound of someone walking away, stamped her feet, and when she heard the sound of a door opening not far away, she immediately went in through her own front door.
Mrs. Sun, who was not far away, looked at this scene and sneered.
When Mrs. Ma heard the laughter, she was so angry that she wanted to throw away the food in her hand, but she was reluctant to do so, so she took it to the kitchen and prepared to put it in tomorrow's breakfast.
In the next yard, Ye Mingzhu breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the door closing next to her. However, after just one day, she already felt that this yard was not a good place, mainly because her neighbor was too weird.
In the yard, Jiang Hongyu had already installed the stove, but after hearing what Mrs. Ma had done, they no longer had the mood to cook.
"Let's go to the entrance of the alley and have a bowl of noodles. The stall should be still there." Jiang Hongyu said.
Ye Mingzhu also felt tired and nodded.
They went out to eat a bowl of noodles together. On the way back, Ye Yun'an first checked the alley and ran back when he found that there was no one there: "Aunt, sister, brother-in-law, there is no one in the alley."
Aunt Jiang patted his shoulder lovingly and said, "When we go back, please be quiet."
Ye Mingzhu and Jiang Hongyu looked at each other. Although it was getting dark, they could both see each other's helplessness.
No one expected to meet a neighbor like this.
Aunt Jiang comforted them: "Maybe we just moved in, and they are curious. After living here for a few days and getting used to it, they will probably be fine."
Ye Mingzhu could only nod, but she really had no confidence.
Jiang Hongyu grabbed her hand and said, "If it doesn't work out, we'll just sell the house."
Unexpectedly, Ye Yun'an was the first to object: "No, we haven't started the treasure hunt yet. It would be too much of a loss to sell the house now."
Several people had already reached the door of their home. Jiang Hongyu opened the door and let everyone in, comforting them: "Stay here for a while and we'll talk later."
For a moment, everyone lost their mood and went back to their rooms to wash up.
The next day, Jiang Hongyu got up early and made breakfast. While everyone was still eating breakfast, Ma Pozi knocked on the door again: "Sister Jiang, let's go buy groceries together?"
Ye Mingzhu was speechless. Where did this god come from? He had no vision at all. He was almost kicked out by them yesterday, but he came again early this morning.
"Mom, don't go out. Let Brother Yu send her away." Ye Mingzhu could see that, except for being a little wary of Jiang Hongyu, Mrs. Ma was not afraid of anyone else at all.
"It's okay, I'm full. I'll go talk to her." Aunt Jiang wiped her mouth with a handkerchief and walked to the door.
I don’t know what she said, but Mrs. Ma actually left.
Aunt Jiang came back, and Ye Yun'an's face was full of admiration: "Aunt, what did you say? That person actually left."
Aunt Jiang shook her head: "Next time she comes, I'll just go talk to her."
Jiang Hongyu was also full. He put down his chopsticks and said, "It's okay. If you feel that living here is not good, we can move to another house or move back to the village."
I originally came to live in the county to make everyone happy. If I live poorly because of my neighbors, I might as well go back.
Ye Mingzhu was a little surprised. Jiang Hongyu said yesterday that he would stay in the town for a while. Could something have changed?
