Chapter 164 Helping with Something
When they returned to the beach, Ye Wu was walking back and forth. Seeing them coming back, he came over and said, "Mingzhu, didn't you say you were going fishing? Why are you back so early?"
"Brother Yu's friend is not in good health. He got seasick after just a short while in the sea. We can only come back early." Ye Mingzhu glanced at Yu Jiaming and others helplessly and said in a low voice.
Ye Wu took a look and saw that Yu Jiaming and the others were pale. They couldn't help it and went to vomit.
"These people think that going to sea is a good thing, but they don't know how hard it is for us to go to sea every day." Ye Wu shook his head unhappily.
Ye Mingzhu took two steps forward to block Ye Wu's gaze. If he continued to look down on him, he would probably have no chance of working in the mines.
"Fifth brother, if there's nothing else, we'll go back first. They've all gone back to rest."
Ye Wu chuckled twice: "Mingzhu, Brother Wu needs to check your boat."
Ye Mingzhu immediately stepped aside and said, "No problem, Fifth Brother, you can check it. If there's nothing wrong with it, I'll send it back to Aunt Guilan."
Ye Wu boarded the boat and carefully inspected it, then jumped off and helped Ye Mingzhu put the boat in the boat storage area of the clan leader's house. He took the opportunity to whisper, "Mingzhu, the seashore has been in chaos these days. If there's nothing else, you guys shouldn't go out to sea."
After he finished speaking, he glanced in Jiang Hongyu's direction and said, "Anyway, as a son-in-law, I can work as a yamen runner in town, so it's no problem for me to support you and Xiao An."
Ye Mingzhu frowned and explained: "Fifth brother, Brother Yu is not a son-in-law."
Ye Wu nodded perfunctorily. Seeing Ye Mingzhu still looking at him somewhat unhappy, he repeated in a good-natured manner, "Okay, from now on, Fifth Brother, don't say he's a son-in-law. Wasn't he very easy to talk to when he was young? Why are you so serious now?"
Ye Mingzhu looked at Ye Wu's back as he left, and then she remembered that when Ye's father and mother were still alive, they had a good relationship with Ye Wu's parents, and the children of the two families often played together.
When the original owner was a child, she followed Ye Wu, and Ye Wu treated her better than Ye Yunjian and Ye Yunkang.
Later, Ye Wu's parents passed away one after another, and he lived with his uncle. Ye Wu's uncle was much better than Ye's uncle, and he treated Ye Wu as his own son.
When Ye's father and mother were alive, they often helped him.
"Hurry up, grab your things and go home early." Seeing that she was thinking about something in the back, Ye Wu turned back and urged her.
"Coming." Ye Mingzhu agreed and moved forward quickly, thinking that after she started recruiting miners, she would find a chance to ask Ye Wu if he wanted to go to the gold mine.
The matter has not been announced yet, so she is not in a position to say anything first.
Jiang Hongyu was not far away and vaguely heard what Ye Wu said, but he didn't take it to heart. When he first came to Yuanshan Village, he had heard even more unpleasant words than this.
Jiang Hongyu was holding a few fish in his hands. Ye Wu just took a look and let them go home.
Yu Jiaming and the others didn't say anything, but just followed them with pale faces.
Ye Wu looked at it and shook his head, then went to check the other returning ships.
Yu Jiaming and Xiaowu followed Jiang Hongyu into the Jiang family's gate. Old Chen stayed outside the door and whispered, "Master, I'm going back first."
Yu Jiaming nodded: "You go back first and let everyone prepare in advance. I will go back early tomorrow morning."
Xiao Wu was a little confused: "Aren't we going back with Lao Chen?"
Old Chen understood what Yu Jiaming meant, and nodded his head in agreement, then walked along the path out of the village just as he had done when he came.
Yu Jiaming patted Xiaowu on the head, looked at Jiang Hongyu's back in the yard, and whispered, "You left just after finding the gold mine. What do you think of the Jiang family?"
Besides, he still had some things to discuss with Jiang Hongyu and was not in a hurry to leave.
Xiao Wu touched his head. He just wanted to go back as soon as possible to arrange things and come back. He didn’t think it was that complicated.
Jiang Hongyu heard the noise behind him and turned around: "Brother Yu, I didn't eat well at noon. I'll go get you some food."
Yu Jiaming stopped him and said, "Brother Jiang, we have some snacks over there. Let's try some together."
Ye Mingzhu saw that the two had something to say, so she went straight back to her room.
Jiang Hongyu took them to the stone table in the courtyard and sat down. Xiao Wu stood up and said, "I'll go boil some water for you."
Since being rescued from the sea by Ye Mingzhu, they have been learning to take care of themselves in Zhuangzi. Now he can even make fire and cook porridge by himself.
Inside the house, Ye Mingzhu was not sleeping. She stood by the window looking at the backs of Jiang Hongyu and Yu Jiaming, not knowing what they were talking about.
It took a long time before the two men stood up. Yu Jiaming bowed to Jiang Hongyu, and Ye Mingzhu frowned.
Xiao Wu went over to pour water, and she heard Jiang Hongyu's voice: "I'll get you some snacks to fill your stomachs, and then you can have a good meal tonight."
She looked at Jiang Hongyu coming over, and hurried back to the bed to sit down, her heart pounding violently.
Jiang Hongyu walked in and saw her sitting on the bed. He smiled and said, "I thought you were asleep. I'll get them some snacks."
Ye Mingzhu opened the cabinet door and took out the untouched snacks: "Take them all out. They are all men and they eat a lot."
Jiang Hongyu took it and said: "I'll buy you a new one tomorrow."
Ye Mingzhu was stunned: "Are you going out tomorrow?"
Jiang Hongyu didn't expect her to be so perceptive. She guessed it just by his casual remark.
"Brother Yu needs my help with something. I'm going to the county town with him tomorrow."
Ye Mingzhu felt a little uneasy. If it was just a favor, Yu Jiaming would not have saluted him just now. Even if they were peers, Yu Jiaming's status was there.
"Is there any danger?" Ye Mingzhu asked in a rather dry tone.
Jiang Hongyu was silent. He didn't want to lie to her, but he had his reasons for doing it.
"I'm a skilled martial artist, so I won't be in danger. It's just that this will take a while, maybe ten days or half a month before I can get back."
Ye Mingzhu didn't expect that it would take so long, but based on her understanding of Jiang Hongyu, he didn't say it now, and he definitely couldn't say it. In that case, she didn't ask.
"Okay, be careful when you go out."
Jiang Hongyu put down his things and hugged her: "Don't worry, I'm good at martial arts, nothing will happen. Besides, I'm not leaving today, I'll leave with Brother Yu and the others tomorrow morning."
Ye Mingzhu didn't say anything and buried her head in his arms.
Jiang Hongyu touched her hair and said softly, "You've been tired all morning, you should take a nap in the room."
Ye Mingzhu nodded: "Go ahead, they are still waiting outside."
After Jiang Hongyu left, Ye Mingzhu sat on the bed and felt tired. She felt depressed and uncertain just by hearing that he was going out. She simply lay down on the bed, closed her eyes, and forced herself to think of nothing.
Yu Jiaming saw Jiang Hongyu coming out with a bad look on his face, so he went to meet him and asked, "What's wrong?"
"It's okay," Jiang Hongyu put away the expression on his face: "We will leave after breakfast tomorrow, finish the work early and come back early."
