Chapter 145 A Chance Encounter in Town
Aunt Jiang saw the worry on Jiang Hongyu's face and nodded: "Well, I bought some fabrics. I will make a dress for you and Xiao An tomorrow."
Jiang Hongyu felt a little guilty: "Mom, I'll go shopping with you after I'm done with this."
Aunt Jiang didn't care at all. She had been in Yuanshan Village for many years and could adapt to any environment. Now she could sit in the house and embroider and make clothes without worrying about anything. It was her dream when she was young.
Jiang Hongyu was relieved when he saw that his mother didn't mind at all.
In the following days, someone came knocking on the Jiang family's door again, saying that they saw the clothes that Aunt Ma made for her niece, and they were very good, and they wanted Aunt Jiang to help buy fabric.
Aunt Jiang always shook her head and said helplessly that she was not in good health and could not go out all the time. She had to rest for a few days after going out.
Although the visitor was unhappy, seeing Aunt Jiang's guilty face, he had no other choice but to tell everyone that Aunt Jiang could no longer help others check fabrics.
The main point is that if you don’t help me, don’t help others.
When Aunt Jiang learned about this, she was even more delighted.
When Mrs. Ma heard the news, she brought over a bunch of vegetable leaves, which were better than the wilted leaves from last time. Aunt Jiang waved her hand and asked her to take it back.
Since then, no one came to disturb the house, and Jiang Hongyu stopped coming home at noon, and came back later and later every day.
The county magistrate who was rumored to be coming did not show up, and in the blink of an eye, almost ten days had passed.
Ma Po's niece has lived here for so long. At first, Ma Po's attitude was good and she took her niece to the street every day. But after so long, she changed her mind and asked her niece to finish her work before going out.
Ever since the last time a kidnapping almost happened on the street, the girls who took to the streets were all from poor families.
I don’t know if it’s because of effective control, but I never heard of any girl being favored by anyone.
On this day, Jiang Hongyu finally got a day off, and he agreed early in the morning to take a few people out for a walk.
In the morning, they went to the street without even having breakfast. Ye Yun'an was clamoring for wontons. He heard that there was a wonton restaurant on West Street that served particularly delicious wontons and they had to go there early in the morning.
It is said that the stall will be closed after the hour of Chen.
Ye Mingzhu calculated that the wontons at a stall that closed at seven in the morning must be very delicious.
Ye Yun'an, however, looked excited and woke up just after the hour of Mao. She glanced out the window and saw that it was still dark.
Jiang Hongyu smiled and patted Ye Mingzhu, who was buried in the quilt: "Yun'an finally wants to eat something, let's go with him."
What else could Ye Mingzhu do? Since he was her own brother, she could only endure it.
But there were only three of them, and Aunt Jiang said yesterday morning that she didn't like eating wontons in the morning, so she wouldn't go.
Ye Mingzhu also wanted to say that she didn't like the food, but her dear brother looked at her eagerly, so she didn't say it out loud.
When I finished washing up and walked out the door, it was just dawn and everything around was quiet.
When they walked out of the alley, there were already a few pedestrians on the street. When they reached West Street, more people began to gather.
The wonton stall was just as Ye Yun'an said. It was surrounded by people and some were already queuing up. All the people sitting at the tables looked very satisfied while eating. It was obvious that the wontons at this stall were delicious.
Jiang Hongyu went to queue up, while Ye Mingzhu and Ye Yun'an went to find a seat. The two waited for a quarter of an hour before they found a vacant seat.
Ye Yun'an sat down immediately, as if afraid that someone else would take his seat.
Just as the two of them sat down, a familiar voice rang out: "Can you two share a table?"
The voice was so familiar that Ye Mingzhu looked up immediately. It was indeed Yu Jiaming.
Yu Jiaming was also stunned. He didn't expect that the first acquaintance he saw when he arrived in this small town was Ye Mingzhu.
"Oh, Mingzhu, I didn't expect to see you here."
Ye Mingzhu's eyes were full of suspicion. Why did he come to such a small town instead of staying in the county?
"Mingzhu, I bought the wontons. Eat them while they're hot." Jiang Hongyu brought two bowls of wontons and placed them in front of Ye Mingzhu and Ye Yun'an.
Yu Jiaming's eyes were full of surprise: "Brother Jiang, I didn't expect our luck to be so good. I saw you on the first day I came to town."
Jiang Hongyu was stunned for a moment before he took his hand away from the wonton bowl. He didn't expect to see Yu Jiaming here.
"Brother Yu? Why are you here?"
Especially since Yu Jiaming was wearing fine cotton, which was different from his previous attire.
Maybe because he came from a wealthy family, although his clothes were a bit ordinary, he didn't look like an ordinary person.
Seeing that the two were not that surprised, Yu Jiaming's expression changed and he sighed: "Oh, I got into some trouble in the county, and then I remembered that Brother Jiang's family was from Pinggu Town, so I came to the town to try my luck. I didn't expect that we would be so destined to meet you right after arriving."
Jiang Hongyu and Ye Mingzhu didn't know what to say. As long as it wasn't a bad fate, it was fine.
Ye Mingzhu always felt that meeting Yu Jiaming was not a good thing, but since he had come and kept saying that he came for them, she couldn't pretend not to know him.
She didn't know what to say to the other person for a moment, so she simply lowered her head and ate the wontons.
Jiang Hongyu felt that Yu Jiaming's arrival was sudden, but he thought the same as Ye Mingzhu, that the other party had already arrived, and it would be impossible to drive him away now.
A smile appeared on his face. "Brother Yu, did you come here by yourself? Things have been a bit uneasy in our town lately."
Yu Jiaming approached Jiang Hongyu and asked with great interest, "Why aren't you at peace? I came here because I heard in the county that Pinggu Town is fun."
Jiang Hongyu: ...Guess whether I believe it or not.
"We are close to the sea. Recently, many people have come here to collect pearls and fish, so there are always some conflicts." Jiang Hongyu said, secretly observing Yu Jiaming's expression.
Yu Jiaming showed an interested expression: "Pearl diving? Do you find pearls from the sea? I have never seen it before. Do you guys dive for pearls? Can you take me with you?"
Ye Mingzhu looked up at Yu Jiaming, and what he said seemed a bit silly.
Xiao Wu came over with two bowls. "... Hurry up, catch them quickly. Oh, Brother Ming, my hands are burned."
Xiao Wu put down the bowl and acted as if he had just seen the three people: "Oh, Brother Jiang, Sister-in-law, it's great to see you here."
What are they talking about? It's like I didn't see them just now. It's so fake!
Ye Mingzhu curled her lips, then looked up: "What do you mean, sister-in-law?"
Just now, when Yu Jiaming called her name, she didn't think anything of it, but it was very strange that Xiao Wu called her sister-in-law.
Xiao Wu has already sat down, and said as if it was a matter of course: "You are so young, of course I should call you sister-in-law."
Ye Mingzhu glared at him: "Either you call me by my name, or call me sister-in-law or little sister-in-law. It sounds like a concubine."
Xiaowu: ...I think what you said makes sense.
With these two people around, the breakfast was very lively.
After dinner, two people followed them, saying that they wanted to leave their luggage at their house.
Ye Mingzhu glanced at the small bags they brought with them and guessed that they wanted to go and see where they lived.
"The place we live in is quite small," said Jiang Hongyu.
It means it’s not convenient for you to stay.
Xiao Yu patted Ye Yun'an's shoulder: "It's okay, we can just live with Brother Ye."
Ye Yun'an: ...I want to refuse.
