Chapter 152 Preparing to Go to Sea
Jiang Hongyu knew what Ye Mingzhu was planning as soon as he saw her expression, but he couldn't say anything in front of Uncle Ye and his wife.
It wasn't until they came out of Uncle Ye's house and saw that there were not many people on the road that Jiang Hongyu whispered, "The story about the treasure is more or less just rumors from others."
Ye Mingzhu smiled and said, "Since someone has spread the news, there must be some news about this. We have nothing to do anyway, so why not go out to sea and take a look?"
Having not been to the sea for a long time, Ye Mingzhu now feels particularly familiar when she hears the word "sea".
Jiang Hongyu shook his head in disapproval: "There are many people going out to sea during this period, so let's not join in the fun."
The Jiang family is not short of money. For example, the money they dug out some time ago has not been touched yet, so there is really no need to take risks.
Ye Mingzhu shook her head: "I won't join them, I'll go in the evening."
Anyway, she had the pearl on her body, so there was no difference between day and night in her eyes.
Since most people go out to sea during the day, she will go out at night. She is just there to join in the fun, and it doesn’t matter whether she finds the treasure or not.
Jiang Hongyu was still a little worried, but Ye Mingzhu was particularly stubborn about some things and would not listen to him.
He was silent for a moment.
Xiaowu and Yu Jiaming were helping Aunt Jiang dry the quilts in the yard. Noticing that something was wrong with the two women's expressions, they looked at each other.
Yu Jiaming stepped forward and said to Jiang Hongyu with a smile, "Brother Jiang, can we have noodles for lunch today? I had the noodles you made last time, and I've always wanted to eat them again."
Ye Yun'an also noticed that something was wrong with Jiang Hongyu and Ye Mingzhu, and he looked at his sister with some worry.
Ye Mingzhu smiled at him soothingly and looked at Jiang Hongyu: "How about we have noodles for lunch? We brought back white flour and meat, just right for making some noodles with meat sauce."
Jiang Hongyu looked at her smiling face and felt a little breathless, but he knew that everyone was looking at him, so he nodded and walked into the kitchen.
"I'll help you." Ye Mingzhu followed him to the kitchen.
However, given Ye Mingzhu's history of nearly setting the kitchen on fire, she only did some cleaning work.
Jiang Hongyu asked her to wash a handful of vegetables and make her some stir-fried vegetables later, which she liked.
Ye Mingzhu went to wash the vegetables with a smile, then stood next to him: "Brother Yu, I know my limits and won't do anything rash."
Jiang Hongyu lowered his head to cut the meat, his voice a little dull: "You have made the decision."
Ye Mingzhu put down the food in her hand and tugged at the corner of his clothes: "Brother Yu, I grew up by the sea, so going to the sea is a simple thing for me."
"You almost died in the sea."
Ye Mingzhu remembered that he was talking about the time when he rescued her.
"I was too tired at first, so I held my breath for a while. Now I am well prepared when I go into the sea, so that won't happen again."
Ye Mingzhu explained in a low voice. Seeing that Jiang Hongyu's expression was still not relaxed, she moved closer to him: "Brother Yu, just promise me, otherwise, when you come back in the evening, we can go together."
This was what Jiang Hongyu meant. He glanced at her after hearing her words and said, "Okay."
He agreed so quickly that Ye Mingzhu felt like he was just waiting for her.
Jiang Hongyu lowered his head again: "I will come back early in the evening. Let's go to the sea after dinner. Try to avoid the villagers."
Ye Mingzhu put aside the thought that flashed through her mind and nodded. She was going to look for treasure, but she didn't want to bring a bunch of people with her.
"Put the food down and let Yun An help me light the fire."
After the matter was made public, Jiang Hongyu asked Ye Mingzhu to leave.
Ye Mingzhu quickly put down the food in her hand and walked out of the kitchen.
Ye Yunan was the first to come over: "Sister, are you okay?"
"What can I do for you?" Ye Mingzhu tapped his forehead with a smile and said, "Go and help your brother-in-law light the fire."
Ye Yun'an looked his sister up and down, and after feeling that it was okay, he agreed and went into the kitchen.
Xiao Wu whispered to Yu Jiaming nearby, "Brother Jiang, are you doting on your wife too much? It's only been a short while, and you're not angry anymore? Besides, it's so strange that the men in the Jiang family actually cook."
Yu Jiaming had spent a long time with the couple, so he naturally knew that Jiang Hongyu and Ye Yunan were the ones who cooked for the Jiang family, and it was he who had just suggested eating noodles.
"Don't forget, Miss Ye is our savior." Yu Jiaming whispered in his ear.
Xiao Wu paused. Of course he knew. This was a little strange!
"Okay, I won't say anymore."
Yu Jiaming shook his head, his expression becoming more serious. He looked towards the door. "Xiaowu, don't you think this is a little strange?"
Xiaowu felt that there were so many strange things, but he just didn’t know what Yu Jiaming was talking about.
Yu Jiaming couldn't explain it, he just felt that the whole village was a little strange, and there were fewer people walking around in the village.
Ye Mingzhu was about to go out when Xiaowu saw her and immediately followed her.
"Brother Xiaowu, I'm going to my third uncle's house, so don't follow me."
Xiaowu then stopped awkwardly and watched her leave.
Ye Mingzhu went to tell Uncle Ye that she wanted to use the boat tonight.
Uncle Ye's reaction was the same as Jiang Hongyu's: "Mingzhu, it's not safe to go out to sea at night."
Ye Mingzhu smiled and said, "Uncle San, I'm not going treasure hunting. I'm just looking at the nearby sea. I haven't been out to sea for a long time. I want to go out to sea and have a look. We used to go out to sea at night. It's okay."
Uncle Ye wanted to persuade him again: "You should go during the day. It's safer during the day."
Ye Mingzhu shook her head: "Uncle San, there are so many people going out to sea every day now. If I go out during the day and someone sees me, won't they think I'm looking for treasure? Forget it."
Uncle Ye thought about it and realized that this was indeed the case. There were not many people in the village during the day. Anyone who had a boat would go out in the daytime to try to find something and put it aside. No one wanted their treasure to be taken away by others, and they were afraid that they would suffer losses.
"Or, I'll go with you." Uncle Ye was still worried that something might happen to Ye Mingzhu.
"Uncle San, don't worry, Brother Yu is with me." Ye Mingzhu refused Uncle San's kindness.
"We're just going to the sea to take a look. I want to collect some pearl oysters myself. I'm afraid if I don't collect them for a long time, I'll forget how to do it."
Ye Mingzhu's face was full of smiles, and Uncle Ye finally agreed.
"Be careful when you go out to sea at night. Those people go to the beach every night to check. If they see anyone going out to sea at night, they will approach and ask questions."
Uncle Ye told her what he knew. Ye Mingzhu frowned and said, "Do those people think our village belongs to them?"
"It's better to be careful." Uncle Ye reminded him.
Ye Mingzhu nodded, asked where the ship was docked, smiled and thanked Uncle Ye, and went home.
At home, Jiang Hongyu had already cooked the noodles and was waiting for her.
While someone else was serving noodles, she told him, "Those people will be waiting at the beach at night to see who goes out to sea."
