Chapter 190 Many People Come to the Door
Several people turned around together and found that it was Fang.
Ye Mingzhu quickly reacted and stood up: "Aunt San is here, have you eaten yet? We just made dinner, why don't you eat together?"
Fang's face was full of embarrassment: "I have eaten. I just came to see Mingzhu if she needs any help."
Ye Mingzhu glanced at her empty hands, with a faint smile on her face: "No need, Third Aunt, I have packed everything. Fifth Brother and Brother Lang both brought me meat and vegetables, which is enough for me to eat for the next two days."
Fang tied her hands together and forced a smile: "You two grew up together, so you have a good relationship."
Ye Mingzhu smiled and nodded, while the others either lowered their heads or looked at the sky, and no one spoke.
Seeing that the dishes on the table would get cold if they were not eaten soon, Ye Mingzhu offered Fang to the table: "Aunt, why don't you eat some more? These are all made by Hongyu and my two cousins."
Fang waved her hands hurriedly: "No, no, I've already eaten, you guys eat, I'll come to see you tomorrow."
As soon as Ye Mingzhu nodded, Fang turned and left.
Ye Mingzhu went to see her off and closed the door to prevent anyone else from coming.
As soon as I reached the door, I heard Ye Wu say, "What do you think Auntie is here for?"
Ye Lang and Sister-in-law Ying looked at each other without saying anything. Ye Mingzhu probably guessed the purpose of Fang's visit, thinking that she was here to invite them over for dinner, but she didn't expect that they had already started eating.
As to why he came so late, it is unknown.
Jiang Hongyu invited everyone to eat: "Talk while you eat, otherwise the food will get cold soon."
Ye Lang picked up the chopsticks and said, "Then I won't be polite."
"We are all brothers and sisters, don't be polite." Jiang Hongyu said and asked Ye Wu to pick up the food quickly.
"It's delicious. I said that my cooking is good, but my aunt doesn't want me to cook." Ye Wu picked up a piece of meat with chopsticks and put it in his mouth, eating it with great relish.
Jiang Hongyu also picked up a piece of meat for Ye Mingzhu. Ye Mingzhu put it in her mouth and ate it, looking at him with confusion.
Isn't this the taste he made?
Jiang Hongyu poured a bowl of soup and placed it next to Ye Mingzhu, whispering, "Fifth brother helped cut the meat, and he was the one who helped put it on the plate when it was out of the pot."
"Oh." Ye Mingzhu suddenly understood. So this is the "method."
Ye Wu looked around and saw Jiang Hongyu whispering to Ye Mingzhu. Ye Lang picked up a piece of food for Sister Ying with his chopsticks. He couldn't help but feel a little desire for marriage.
If he does a good job as a pearl collector, he might be able to marry a wife, have a few more children, and live a happy life.
Ye Wu, with anticipation in his heart, ate with gusto.
As they chatted and laughed, they finished the whole table of food. Ye Wu covered his stomach and groaned, "Ouch, I ate too much today."
Jiang Hongyu stood up and said, "My mother should have some herbs that can help with digestion. I'll go make some and we can have some tea."
Sister-in-law Ying tugged at Ye Lang's sleeve and felt that something was not right. It was getting late, and Ye Mingzhu and the others had been busy all day, so it was time for them to rest.
Ye Mingzhu noticed it with her sharp eyes and casually took her arm: "Sister-in-law, you don't know how bad the digestive tea made by Brother Yu is. You have to accompany me to finish it before you leave."
Ye Wu laughed heartily: "It turns out that Jiang Hongyu, who cooks delicious food, can't make tea."
Ye Lang patted Sister Ying's arm soothingly and said cooperatively, "Then we have to try it."
When Jiang Hongyu came out with several large bowls, everyone's eyes were cast on the steaming digestive tea in the bowls. He thought everyone was anxious, so he quickly distributed a bowl to everyone.
With Ye Mingzhu's words just now, everyone's impression and attitude towards this digestive tea were very strange. The color of the digestive tea was indeed a bit dark and looked like Chinese medicine.
"Why don't you drink it? Are you afraid it's too hot? I brought it here and it's not hot anymore. You can try it." Jiang Hongyu said as he took the first sip.
Ye Mingzhu didn't say anything, just smiled.
Seeing that Ye Mingzhu didn't drink it, Sister Ying just put the wine to her lips and blew hot air gently. When Ye Lang wanted to drink it, she pulled his sleeve.
Ye Wu didn't notice the little movements of the others. He picked up the bowl and drank from it in big gulps, imitating Jiang Hongyu's movements.
Then, he held a big mouthful of digestive tea in his mouth, like a hamster, and looked at everyone who wanted to talk. He almost spit out the tea in his mouth, but he quickly swallowed it and then opened his mouth wide.
"Oh my God, is this digestive tea or sour water?" He held the bowl far away, looking as if he didn't dare to drink it anymore.
Ye Mingzhu finally couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Fifth brother, there are too many hawthorns in it, so it's a bit sour, but the effect is very good."
This time, Jiang Hongyu made the digestive tea with the help of Aunt Jiang. Ye Mingzhu discovered when she drank it for the first time that the digestive tea was particularly sour. Although it had a good digestive effect, she didn't dare to try it easily.
Jiang Hongyu raised his eyebrows and looked at them: "Everyone, drink your tea quickly and go back to rest early. Maybe the government officials will come tomorrow."
Ye Wu didn't want to drink, but Ye Lang had already picked up the tea and drank it all, and then there was a gap in his mouth.
Seeing this, Ye Wu could only pick up the tea and drink it all, then go to the kitchen to get some water.
Jiang Hongyu glanced at Mrs. Ying and turned his gaze to Ye Mingzhu. She wanted to get away with it, but Jiang Hongyu walked to her side and just looked at her. She had no choice but to drink the bowl of sour tea.
After eating and drinking, Ye Wu and the other two said goodbye, and Jiang Hongyu and Ye Mingzhu also lay down to rest.
Jiang Hongyu didn't know when Xiaowu was expected to come back, so in order to avoid traveling back and forth, he planned to stay in the village for two more days.
The next day, people from the village came to the Jiang family from time to time to inquire about the news, especially those who were exiled that year. They wanted to stick to Jiang Hongyu to show their close relationship.
There were also some aunts and sisters from the Ye family who came to see her with a few eggs and a handful of vegetables, and they refused to leave until noon.
When Aunt Guilan and Sister-in-law Ying arrived, Ye Mingzhu's face was already stiff.
Aunt Guilan reminded everyone that it was time to go back and cook. Someone said there was no rush, but Aunt Guilan glanced at her and said, "Don't worry, Mingzhu and the others also need to eat."
The man said awkwardly, "Okay, let's come back after dinner."
The exiled relatives of the Jiang family had no choice but to follow him.
Ye Mingzhu closed the door and bowed to Aunt Guilan and Sister Ying: "Thank you, Aunt and Sister Ying, for saving me."
Aunt Guilan stepped forward to help her up. "You're so polite, child. Actually, the villagers don't mean any harm. We all know how to fish for pearls. We just hope that someone from her family will be chosen so we can increase our income."
Ye Mingzhu knew that Aunt Guilan was speaking well of everyone in disguise, so she nodded and said, "I know. This time we returned to the village to inform everyone just to make everyone's life easier."
Aunt Guilan handed them the small basket in her hand and said, "You haven't eaten yet, have you? I've brought you some dishes. Otherwise, you can eat and go out for a walk. I'll have the children notify you when the officials arrive."
She saw that Ye Mingzhu was tired, but she didn't want the villagers to make Ye Mingzhu angry.
Ye Mingzhu's eyes lit up, thinking this was a good idea. She looked at Jiang Hongyu and said, "Brother Yu, let's go out for a walk after dinner."
