Chapter 307 Someone Knocks on the Door
As soon as Ye Yun'an finished speaking, the old woman ran out and grabbed the silver and money on the ground.
The man followed closely behind the old woman and wailed, "Mom, I haven't finished counting yet, I haven't finished counting yet!"
The old woman's chest rose and fell, and in the darkness, you could hear her teeth chattering.
"Son, it's dark here and we can't see clearly. Let's go back inside and count."
The old woman coaxed the man back into the house in a low voice.
After walking a distance, the old woman turned her head and said impatiently, "Drive the horses in and close the door. The kitchen is over there. Don't cook anything that smells too strong."
After saying that, without waiting for anyone to speak, she took her son into the house.
Ye Yun'an turned his head and looked at Ye Mingzhu: "Sister, why can't you cook food with a strong smell?"
"She's probably afraid her son will come and snatch it away," Ye Mingzhu guessed.
Ye Yun'an was incredulous: "That person, is he so stupid?"
Ye Mingzhu couldn't explain it. She almost regretted staying at this house, but she had already settled in. If she moved out now, it would only cause more trouble.
With the old woman's reminder, Ye Yun'an simply cooked a pot of porridge, cracked a few eggs into it, and then heated up the meat patties he bought in Nanwu County.
Soon, under the dim oil lamp, there was a bowl of porridge in front of each person, two plates of purchased side dishes and a pile of meat patties on the table, all emitting the aroma of food.
"I'll go close the door." Green Bean cleverly went to close the kitchen door.
"Eat early and rest early, so we can set off early tomorrow." Uncle Yan gestured for everyone to eat the meat patties.
"My wife, I smell meat and eggs. I want to eat meat and eggs."
"Okay, go to sleep first. When you wake up, I'll make you eggs."
"No, I just want to eat eggs now, I just want to eat them now..."
"The chickens won't lay eggs until tomorrow morning. How about we go pick up the eggs together then?"
The gentle female voice coaxed a few more times before the other boy reluctantly said, "Okay."
Ever since Ye Yun'an heard the voices outside, he grabbed a meat pie and ate it quickly. Luo Dou ate the egg in the porridge first, and then started eating the meat pie. Both of their mouths were equally full.
"Eat slowly and have some snacks." Ye Mingzhu looked at the two people's actions and found it a little funny: "Ludou just locked the door, no one will come in."
Luodou and Ye Yunan nodded and shook their heads at the same time.
Ye Yun'an swallowed the food in his mouth and then said, "Let's finish our food quickly. Even if they come to ask for it, they won't be able to do anything after we finish it."
Green Bean nodded even more vigorously.
Ye Mingzhu was a little amused: "Then you two should eat slowly, otherwise you will choke."
Green Bean seemed to want to say something, then froze, pounded his chest desperately, then picked up the porridge on the table and drank it all.
After finishing the porridge, he picked up the bowl of water that Ye Yun'an had just left out and drank it, then he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Sister, can you please stop being such a pessimist?" He stared at Ye Mingzhu with resentful eyes.
Ye Mingzhu: "...You eat too fast. You've choked twice. Don't eat like this next time."
I don’t know what Green Bean has been through during this period of time. He looks like a young master, but his eating movements are so ferocious.
Green Bean just looked up at Ye Mingzhu without saying anything, but the speed at which he ate the meat pie slowed down significantly.
Ye Mingzhu smiled knowingly and moved the small basket of meat patties a little towards him.
Ye Mingzhu had been sitting in the car for the past few days and her appetite was not very good. She did not eat the meat pie and just drank the porridge in the bowl.
Green Bean was eating a meat pie. When he saw her put down the bowl and swallow the meat pie in her mouth, he said, "You'll be hungry if you eat so little."
"I'm not hungry, you guys eat." Ye Mingzhu stood up, walked to the kitchen door, and listened to the noise outside.
There was no other sound outside except the sound of the wind.
Uncle Yan finished eating second, and Ye Yunan and Green Bean finished almost at the same time.
At this time, Uncle Yan went to open the door, and Ye Yun'an washed all the dishes with clean water and put them back on the carriage.
Apart from using each other's stoves and firewood, they brought their own things with them.
Uncle Yan took the bedding they brought from the carriage and handed it to Ye Mingzhu: "Mingzhu, take the bedding in yourself."
Ye Mingzhu had already seen the room assigned to her. It was a small room separated from the adjacent room. There was nothing in it except a wooden bed and a table. As for the bed, there was nothing but a mat.
The old woman just said it very clearly that they didn't have any extra quilts at home and asked them to figure it out themselves.
Ye Mingzhu didn't know whether she wanted to pay more or really didn't have a quilt. Anyway, they brought a quilt, so she didn't bother them.
Ye Yun'an and Luodou also took the quilts and carried them to the rooms assigned to them.
"You are all getting ready to go to bed, give me the oil lamp." The old woman suddenly came out of the house and reached out to take the oil lamp from Ye Mingzhu's hand, scaring her.
"Auntie, even if we are staying at the inn, there is no reason for you to take away your guest's oil lamp. Besides, you have to let us spread out the bedding." Although Ye Mingzhu didn't want to cause trouble, she also didn't want to be overly accommodating to the other party.
The old woman was not angry. She stood by and said, "I'll watch you lay your shop."
Ye Mingzhu: "...Okay."
She quickly made the bed, and the old woman immediately extinguished the oil lamp, plunging the room into darkness.
Ye Mingzhu: ...This action is too fast.
Before leaving, the old woman reminded him, "Lock the door tightly before you go to bed at night."
Ye Mingzhu didn't know what the old woman meant. She didn't sleep well that night and woke up countless times.
At daybreak, a rooster crowed from somewhere.
There was a knock on the door outside the room where Ye Mingzhu was sleeping: "Hua'er, little Hua'er, get up, Daddy will take you to catch insects."
Ye Mingzhu sat up from the bed, her eyes went dark and she felt dazed.
The person outside was still knocking on the door.
"Da Zhuang, what are you doing? Xiao Hua slept with me last night." The old woman's voice sounded outside.
"Dad, I'm here." A clear little girl's voice came to her door along with the sound of footsteps.
"Xiaohua, Daddy will take you to catch bugs."
"good."
Ye Mingzhu breathed a sigh of relief only after the voices of the father and daughter faded away along with the sound of their footsteps.
She quickly got up, fixed her hair, and folded the bedding.
She didn't take off her clothes last night, she just tidied herself up briefly.
She packed up and opened the door. The old woman was standing outside. She looked at her and said in a bad tone, "It's daybreak. You should leave."
Ye Mingzhu looked at the dim sky, said nothing more, and turned back to the house to get out the bedding.
As soon as she walked out of the house, she heard crying from the carriage: "Dad, Dad, what's wrong with you?"
