Chapter 177: Food Delivery to Lin's Residence
Ye Mingzhu's eyes were full of confusion. What did the shape of this bag look like?
"This is some food. My young lady said that you just moved in today and you must not have prepared these things, so she asked me to get some for you." Butler Lin took the initiative to explain.
Ye Mingzhu breathed a sigh of relief, but still refused: "Why bother Sister Lin all the time? My brother has already gone to buy food."
Housekeeper Lin smiled and said, "Miss Ye, these things are a gift from my young lady. Where do you think the kitchen is? Shall we move there?"
No matter what Ye Mingzhu said, Butler Lin insisted that this was arranged by Mr. Lin and they had to complete it.
Ye Mingzhu had no choice but to ask a few people to put the food bags in the kitchen.
To express her gratitude, she escorted Butler Lin to the door.
Steward Lin hesitated to speak, and Ye Mingzhu could not help but said, "Steward Lin, if you have anything to say, just tell me directly."
"Miss Ye, if you want to buy someone, I can help introduce a few matchmakers."
Ye Mingzhu was stunned and was about to say that she would not hire anyone, but suddenly realized that the new house had two entrances, so at least a gatekeeper had to be hired. They couldn't stay at the door all the time, otherwise if someone knocked on the door, the people in the backyard might not be able to hear it.
In addition, they would occasionally return to the village, so someone had to be assigned to look after such a large house.
Thinking of this, she immediately smiled and said, "I'll think about it. I'll have to trouble Steward Lin later."
When Butler Lin heard the first half of the sentence, he thought it was her excuse, but when he heard the second half, he knew that Ye Mingzhu had listened to him.
Ye Mingzhu watched Butler Lin leave and closed the door. After a while, there was a knock on the door. Ye Yun'an's voice sounded outside the door. She walked over and opened the door.
"Sister, what took you so long to open the door?" Ye Yun'an pouted, "I borrowed a lunch box from the restaurant and will return it later."
Ye Mingzhu...I'll go get someone to look after the house tomorrow.
In the house next door, Butler Lin was reporting the situation to Mr. Lin.
Hearing that Ye Mingzhu had accepted the food, Lin Dongjia smiled and said, "They have a small family, so I'll take care of them more in the future."
Steward Lin smiled and agreed: "I told Miss Ye that if they want to buy someone, I can recommend a matchmaker I know."
Lin Dongjia looked at him and said, "Uncle Lin, aren't all the people in our family brought here from the capital?"
"There are also some people who come here to do shopping. Miss, you have a lot to do and are very busy. I will make the decisions on these small matters myself."
Housekeeper Lin watched Lin Dong's family grow up, and he considered everything for her.
Lin Dongjia smiled and nodded: "I feel much more at ease with Uncle Lin at home."
"This is what I should do." Steward Lin did not take credit for it. "But, Miss, I don't understand why you are so nice to Miss Ye."
"You mean to say that Mingzhu is just a village girl?" Mrs. Lin looked at the sunlight shining into the house from outside, and without waiting for housekeeper Lin to speak, she continued.
"I've loved doing business since I was a child, but I'm the eldest daughter and the pride of my family. I can do business as a hobby, but I can't show it off."
"After I got married, whenever I went out more often or visited the shop more often, he would get all sullen. Didn't he spend all the money I earned?"
There was a hint of sarcasm at the corner of Lin Dongjia's mouth.
"I came to this small town just to get angry with him, but he never came to see me once."
Housekeeper Lin looked at Master Lin with some worry: "Miss, you, actually, the son-in-law has no bad intentions, he just, just,..."
"You just look down on businessmen, right?" Lin Dongjia sneered. "How happily he spends my money, how much he hates my earning behavior. But now, I don't care. He can't divorce me anyway."
Housekeeper Lin was afraid that Master Lin would do something out of the ordinary: "Miss, did something happen when you went there this time?"
Lin Dongjia's expression softened a bit. "Nothing serious. It's just that his family doesn't have enough money, so he asked me to lend him some."
"Miss, don't blame me for talking too much. You are husband and wife, there is really no need to talk about borrowing."
"You understand all this, but he's reading the sages' books in vain, and he doesn't even know it. He borrows, and what does he return with? His books or his paintings?"
The disdain in Mr. Lin's tone was so obvious that Steward Lin didn't know what to say.
When Lin Dongjia looked up and saw his face like a wrinkled chrysanthemum, he burst out laughing: "Okay, Uncle Lin, don't worry about me, I'm fine."
"Doesn't he dislike me doing business? I insist on doing it. Even a little girl who hasn't known me for long knows that I like business. It's ridiculous that for his reputation and his little bit of self-esteem, he actually let me stay at home to take care of the husband and children..."
Lin Dongjia said half of his words and swallowed the rest: "Okay, Uncle Lin, there's nothing wrong with him and me. You just need to know that Sister Ye understands me."
But these words made Butler Lin even more confused. He only knew that the young lady was good to Ye Mingzhu, so he would just be more respectful to Ye Mingzhu in the future.
Housekeeper Lin went downstairs to set the table, and Master Lin sat on a chair and touched his stomach involuntarily.
She originally wanted to ask for a divorce when she went back this time. Life like this was boring, but when she saw that handsome young man bowing his head to borrow money from her, she suddenly didn't want to divorce anymore. It was so good to have money and no one to control her life like this. If she divorced and went home, she was afraid that her sisters in the clan would blame her.
If you think more positively, you won't find life boring anymore. However, the night before leaving, they slept together due to some unexpected events. I wonder if she was pregnant?
In short, she no longer thought about this marriage and only wanted to run her shop well.
On her way back, she already had a plan and would wait until Ye Mingzhu and the others settled down before discussing it with her.
Unexpectedly, by coincidence, someone took a fancy to Ye Mingzhu's courtyard. That person was also related to her, so she simply helped Ye Mingzhu buy the courtyard next door, so that it would be more convenient for the two of them to visit each other.
She felt better and had a better appetite. She ate a lot of the food that Butler Lin had arranged for her. She was so happy that Butler Lin said he would ask the kitchen to prepare these dishes for her tomorrow.
In the next yard, Ye Mingzhu's family was also having dinner. On Ye Mingzhu's left was Jiang Hongyu, on her right was Aunt Jiang, and further on was Ye Yun'an. Uncle Yan was sitting between Jiang Hongyu and Ye Yun'an, and he could see Aunt Jiang as soon as he looked up.
When buying this house, Ye Mingzhu told Aunt Jiang that she wanted Uncle Yan to come and live with her. Otherwise, Uncle Yan would be very lonely living alone for so many years, and he couldn't even get enough food and drink.
Aunt Jiang had already guessed the current situation and remained calm.
Uncle Yan couldn't hold it anymore. When he looked up and saw Aunt Jiang, their eyes met. He immediately lowered his head, picked up the chopsticks in his hand and started drinking the soup.
Everyone: ...
