Chapter 216 Women Fighting
Fu Chengyun didn't notice anything at all. He just felt that he was wronged when he came here. Yu Jiaming scolded him again and again for an outsider. He was not the kind of person who would protect him as his grandfather said.
Fortunately, he knew that the imperial edict had been issued and he could not return to Beijing casually, otherwise he would have left directly.
Jiang Hongyu didn't want to make things awkward with his future partner, so he tried to smooth things over by saying, "I'll go with Mingzhu first, and you guys will take care of allocating the houses."
Fu Chengyun wanted to say something, but Yu Jiaming winked at Xiaowu. Xiaowu walked over to Fu Chengyun and gave him an intimate elbow. Fu Chengyun bent down involuntarily.
Jiang Hongyu took Ye Mingzhu and walked out of the Jiang family quickly.
The two men put the things back to the Ye family's house. The first thing they did was to block the connection between the two houses, and then they fetched water and cleaned all the rooms.
Since getting married, Ye Mingzhu has been living in the Jiang family, but she has deep feelings for the Ye family's courtyard. This is the first place she sees when she opens her eyes.
Just as the two of them had finished packing, Fu Chengyun started screaming next door. After a while, Xiao Wu came to find Jiang Hongyu. Ye Mingzhu didn't ask any questions and just waved at them.
Ye Mingzhu sat there for a while before the door was pushed open. She thought it was Jiang Hongyu and said casually, "Why are you back so soon?"
"Mingzhu, I'm Aunt Qing." A somewhat old voice sounded behind her, and Ye Mingzhu turned around suddenly.
The man looked at her with a flattering expression: "Mingzhu, do you still remember me? I was here when you got married."
Ye Mingzhu had a smile on her face, her brain working rapidly, and finally she found Aunt Qing's figure deep in her mind.
She said politely, "Aunt Qing, are you here to see my mother? My mother is in town. When she comes back, I'll tell her you've been here."
Aunt Qing waved her hand: "I'm not looking for your mother, I'm looking for you."
"Looking for me?" Ye Mingzhu had a puzzled look on her face, wondering if she came because of the gold mine. After all, they had been married for several months, and she hadn't seen this Aunt Qing yet.
"Yes, I'm looking for you. The village chief said that our village is looking for miners. I want to ask Hongyu if he needs to take charge. Your uncle is willing to help him."
Aunt Qing's eyes were full of urgency, but she also looked like she was willing to help you.
Ye Mingzhu immediately waved her hand: "Aunt Qing, I don't know anything about the mine."
"Don't be so modest. The whole village has heard that a mine has been discovered in the sea, and the court has sent Hongyu to be in charge. We are relatives, so of course we have to help."
Aunt Qing leaned closer to her: "Our two families are the closest relationship."
Ye Mingzhu took two steps back and wanted to speak, but a few people walked in from outside, chattering.
"Hongyu, Mingzhu, we are here to see you." The round-faced woman rolled her eyes and spoke so loudly that it was probably heard by people next door.
Aunt Qing frowned: "Why are you here?"
"Sister Qing, what you said is funny. Why, only you are allowed to come and we are not allowed to come? This is not your home, this is Hongyu's home."
A mean woman knows best how to be offensive.
The black-faced woman took two quick steps and tried to pull Ye Mingzhu's hand, but she just raised her hand to gather her hair and dodged it.
"Mingzhu, let me tell you, we are close, so if there is something good happening to us, you can't give it to those people. You don't usually come to visit us, but now you come when you find something good happening. You are so shameless."
The round-faced woman nodded: "That's right, I said to invite sister-in-law, you don't usually come to Hongyu's house, why are you here today?"
The mean woman directly scolded him: "Okay, you've been here for quite some time, go back first."
Aunt Qing's face turned black after being confronted by several people. She said angrily: "What does it have to do with you if I talk to Mingzhu? Our family has the closest relationship with Hongyu's family."
Ye Mingzhu listened to the conversation between them and simply sat on the stool next to her. Her hands suddenly felt itchy, and she wished she had some melon seeds nearby.
The four of them argued until their faces turned red, but no conclusion was reached.
The black-faced woman angrily pushed Sister Qing, who immediately fought back. Seeing the war escalate, Ye Mingzhu stood up and said, "Aunts, please be careful. Oops, my embroidered shoes have stepped on the dirt."
The mean woman immediately lowered her head. It was the first day she had worn her shoes and it would be a shame if they got dirty.
Aunt Qing took the opportunity to grab her hair, and was hit on the arm by Aunt Yuanlian.
Ye Mingzhu was also afraid that they would get into a fight, and hesitated whether to go up and separate the three of them. However, they stopped in just a quarter of an hour.
Ye Mingzhu: ...Don’t worry about it.
Aunt Qing fought one against three, and she put her hands on her knees: "Well, you three actually dared to attack me, Mingzhu, I was wronged today, you have to compensate me."
The other three people looked at Ye Mingzhu. If she dared to agree, they would lie down immediately.
Ye Mingzhu's face was expressionless: "Aunts, you came to my house to fight for no reason. I was just about to ask you, are you bullying me because I'm home alone?"
"I'm a junior, so it's not easy for me to argue with you. How about I ask the elders of the clan to come and talk to you?"
Several women waved their hands at the same time. They didn't dare let anyone from the Ye family interfere in this matter.
Aunt Qing gathered her messy hair back and approached Ye Mingzhu again, whispering, "Mingzhu, there are too many people here today, so I'll leave first. Your uncle's stewardship will depend on you."
The other three people came closer to hear what she said, but Ye Mingzhu stopped them.
"Aunts, I know why you're here. Do you want to ask about the mine?"
Without waiting for anyone to speak, she pointed across and said, "The adults in charge of this matter live next door. If you want to find a job for your family, you can go over there."
The women looked at each other and shook their heads. The village chief had said that no one could disturb the adults, otherwise he would not forgive them.
Even though they dare to come to find Ye Mingzhu, they definitely don't dare to go next door.
Ye Mingzhu knew what they were thinking. She spread her hands and said, "If you don't go, there's nothing I can do. When the adults next door come, they'll drive us here. We can't talk to them."
The mean woman asked in a shrill voice, "Didn't they say Hongyu was in charge of this?"
Ye Mingzhu asked with a half-smile, "Do you think the adults from the capital will completely hand this matter over to Brother Yu?"
The three of them were silent. In fact, they did not believe that Jiang Hongyu was promoted to captain. The emperor was far away. If the emperor wanted to pardon the Jiang family's crimes, why didn't he let the mother and son return to Beijing?
A captain, if transferred to the capital, is not considered an official at all.
"Aunts, my house is still a mess. How about you help me clean it up?" Ye Mingzhu looked at them expectantly.
Several people shook their heads: "We have something else to do at home."
Without waiting for Ye Mingzhu to speak, several people left one after another.
