Chapter 218 Helping Privately
In fact, Ye Yunjian had been listening outside the door for a while. He felt that it was wrong for Hu to come to Ye Mingzhu, but he also hoped that Ye Mingzhu would agree to Hu's request, thinking, what if Ye Mingzhu would remember the friendship they had grown up together.
Unexpectedly, Ye Mingzhu is very different now than before. She directly refused, and what she said made him feel ashamed.
"Mingzhu, it's your cousin who has let you down. He has let down grandpa's instructions." Ye Yunjian looked at Ye Mingzhu with guilt in his eyes. He really felt that what he did was wrong.
Facing Ye Yunjian, Ye Mingzhu's attitude improved a lot. She sighed, "Brother, please go away. Given the relationship between our two families, it's better for you to stay away."
When Grandpa Ye was alive, he loved Ye Mingzhu the most and loved to take Ye Yunjian with him. Ye Yunjian treated his younger brothers and sisters equally and was very nice to them. When Ye Yunkang bullied them, Ye Yunjian would teach him a lesson directly.
But after Grandpa Ye passed away, and then Father and Mother Ye passed away, everything became different.
Ye Yunjian looked at Ye Mingzhu, who was completely different from the cheerful and playful Ye Mingzhu back then, and felt very sad. He pulled Hu up and said, "Let's go."
Mrs. Hu shook off his hand and said, "I won't leave. Mingzhu is your sister. Why don't you go to her when you have trouble? Ye Wu is her distant cousin."
Ye Yunjian's face was full of embarrassment: "Mingzhu has already said that she has no say in these matters, so please don't make things difficult for her."
Mrs. Hu walked up to Ye Mingzhu and pleaded with her face, "Mingzhu, I don't ask your cousin to be a manager like Ye Wu. As long as he can work under Ye Wu, it will be fine. I just hope that his life at the mine will be easier."
Ye Mingzhu looked at Ye Yunjian, his face showing more and more shame. He grabbed Hu hard and pulled her out of the Ye family.
Ye Mingzhu didn't say anything the whole time. After the two left, she walked over and closed and locked the gate of the courtyard. She made up her mind that no matter who came again, she would not open the door.
Back in the house, Ye Mingzhu held the charcoal pencil for a long time, but no ideas came to her mind. Her mood was still affected and she couldn't continue painting.
She walked around the house inside and out, but had nothing to do, so she simply locked the door, went straight into the space, took off her coat, and swam in the water. She saw more tricolor corals in the water than last time, and her mood improved a lot. Even if they were not made into jewelry, these tricolor corals that had grown together were also very beautiful.
She swam a circle in the water and felt much better. Returning to the shore, she looked at the not very neatly arranged alley, and the corners of her mouth twitched. It would be great if the entire space had an automatic sorting function. Unfortunately, she could only do it herself.
She took two steps toward that direction and was tripped by something under her feet. She looked down and saw it was a turtle shell?
She took it in her hand and couldn't understand why there was a turtle shell in her space?
"Wow..." A large amount of water fell from the sky, soaking her like a drowned chicken.
The sea monster was shaking its big tail by the water, splashing some water on Ye Mingzhu from time to time, and looked very happy.
Ye Mingzhu: ...and casually threw the turtle shell in his hand over.
The sea monster shook its head to catch something that fell from its body, landed in the water, and swam slowly towards the shore.
Ye Mingzhu wiped the water off her face and watched speechlessly as the sea beast brought the turtle shell in front of her. It shook its head twice, which made her involuntarily think of a small animal that loved to catch frisbees.
Seeing that she did not take the next step, the sea beast ran back into the sea, picked up something from the sea and placed it in front of her.
She looked closely and saw a turtle with its four corners facing upwards trying to turn over.
But, how could there be a turtle in the space?
She looked at the turtle shell in her hand and walked over to turn the turtle over.
The turtle paddled hard with its short legs into the water.
Is it still a turtle?
When the sea beast saw her staring into the sea, it swam back into the sea and brought the turtle back.
Ye Mingzhu finally reacted. This should be the tortoise shell that Mr. Lin mentioned, right?
It looks similar to a turtle, but it is not a turtle.
But I've never heard of hawksbill turtles shedding their shells. What's with this hawksbill turtle shell in her space? She remembered seeing a hawksbill turtle shell in her space before.
She couldn't figure it out.
The sea beasts and hawksbill turtles have started playing a game of you run, I chase, and you have legs but can't climb.
Ye Mingzhu ignored what they looked like and directly took the tortoise shell out of the space.
Some time ago, Mr. Lin wanted tortoise shells, so she just took the tortoise shells over.
She stayed in the space for a little too long and didn't hear the knock on the door.
When she came out of the space and opened the door, she ran into Jiang Hongyu who jumped over the wall.
Ye Mingzhu: ...Why did you jump in from outside?
"Mingzhu, are you okay?" Jiang Hongyu had a thin layer of sweat on his head and looked her up and down.
"I'm fine. What's wrong with you? Is the door broken?" Ye Mingzhu leaned her head out from beside him and wanted to check the door.
"Several aunties from the village said that our door was locked from the inside. They shouted for a long time but no one answered. I got anxious and just jumped in." Jiang Hongyu's face turned slightly red when he said the last sentence.
"Are you asleep?"
"No," Ye Mingzhu answered subconsciously, "A lot of people came to my house just now. I felt a little annoyed, so I locked the door. Then I was busy packing things in the house and didn't pay attention to the knocks outside."
Jiang Hongyu breathed a sigh of relief: "Oh, I'm glad you're okay. If someone comes looking for you again, just push it onto me."
Ye Mingzhu knew that Jiang Hongyu had misunderstood, so she explained, "It's my eldest cousin and his wife."
"They want to follow Fifth Brother, and ideally they can hold the same position as him."
At this point, Ye Mingzhu remembered something: "Just now, the eldest cousin's wife said that the fifth brother was the manager. I remember that the fifth brother followed you?"
Jiang Hongyu nodded. "I agreed with Ye Wu and Ye Lang not to reveal the news of their military service before we went to the island. I guess they were helping recruit miners and someone saw them and guessed it out."
In fact, someone asked Ye Wu if he was in charge now, but he just evaded the question and neither admitted nor denied it. Others speculated that he was in charge, and then the news reached Hu's ears.
"Brother Yu, my cousin has come to the island. If he behaves well, please help him."
Jiang Hongyu nodded without even asking: "Okay, I'll find an opportunity."
"Don't show up, let others speak up, and there's no need to let my eldest cousin know about this." Ye Mingzhu just wanted to help Ye Yunjian once, but didn't want to be bothered by Uncle Ye's family.
Jiang Hongyu thought about it and understood. He said softly, "If you don't want to care about these things, then don't worry about them. Don't force yourself."
"My eldest cousin took care of me back then, so I'm helping him this time as a way of repaying his kindness."
Ye Mingzhu really wanted to help Ye Yunjian, but also wanted to see what kind of trouble would happen in Uncle Ye's family.
