Chapter 320 Low Status
Ye Mingzhu raised her eyebrows, wondering where this came from.
Xiaowu sat down and first told his family about their seedling cultivation during this period, and then said that Yu Jiaming had already told his family about the high yield of sweet potatoes.
The Yu family asked Yu Jiaming to send some sweet potatoes back as they wanted to do experiments on the farm.
The land in the farmland in the capital is much better than here, and the output is expected to increase a lot.
"Mingzhu, we shipped some sweet potatoes to the capital without consulting you. Don't be angry. The capital said they would buy those sweet potatoes at the price of polished japonica rice."
Xiao Wu said this and was about to go out to get the silver.
"Wait, how many sweet potatoes did you transport away?" Ye Mingzhu looked at Xiaowu's face and felt that it should not be a small number.
"Five, five hundred kilograms." Xiao Wu smiled sincerely, but his words were not sincere at all, leaving Ye Mingzhu speechless for a moment.
"I remember you asked me to buy the farm nearby just to grow sweet potatoes. You've taken all the sweet potatoes away, so what should I grow?" Ye Mingzhu laughed instead of getting angry.
Xiao Wu's face was full of smiles. He took a step forward flatteringly, "Mingzhu, the Yu family replied, saying that if the sweet potato production is really that large, it will be a good thing for both the country and the people. They will definitely commend you for your achievements and will no longer stop Brother Li from recognizing you as his adopted sister."
"That's why I say you are a lucky star. Not only are you blessed, but you are also a blessing to the people around you."
Ye Mingzhu smiled faintly: "Lucky? Tofu!"
The more she spoke, the colder her voice became: "Did I say I would acknowledge Yu Jiaming as my brother? Is that what you mean? What? Just because he is of noble status, I must acknowledge him as my brother. If I don't, then I'm ungrateful?"
The smile on Xiaowu's face disappeared, and he was about to say something anxiously, but Ye Mingzhu waved her hand, her voice as cold as the weather outside.
"It was you who asked me to buy the nearby farm, and it was you who transported the sweet potatoes away. It's good to have power and influence. You have the final say in everything."
Her chest heaved up and down, not because the other party had transported the sweet potatoes away, but because they were all growing sweet potatoes, and maybe it would be better to grow them in the capital.
She was just angry that the other party had no respect for her at all. He said nice things, and wanted to recognize her as his sister, wasn't it because she was useful? If she couldn't help Yu Jiaming and didn't find the sweet potato, she was afraid that the other party would not take her seriously at all.
"Yun'an." Ye Mingzhu shouted outside.
Ye Yun'an and Lu Dou ran in from outside together.
"Go see if mom's things are packed. We're leaving now."
Green Bean agreed obediently. Ye Yun'an was a little confused and looked at Xiaowu. Xiaowu didn't expect Ye Mingzhu to be so angry.
When Yu Jiaming decided to transport the sweet potatoes away, he reminded the other party that there were not enough left for planting.
However, Yu Jiaming believed that the land near the capital was better, and he could better know the sweet potato yield, which would also be conducive to the promotion of sweet potatoes.
At that time, he did think that what Yu Jiaming said made sense, but now, facing the cold Ye Mingzhu, he felt that they seemed to have done something wrong and now seemed to be unreliable.
He wanted to explain, but Ye Mingzhu didn't give him a chance to explain. Not only did she ask Ye Yun'an to call Aunt Jiang, she also walked out.
Wu Jiang had been pretending to be dead since Ye Mingzhu started talking. He didn't expect Ye Mingzhu to be so angry.
When the county magistrate gave the order, he felt that the remaining sweet potatoes were not enough to plant the newly purchased farmland, and he reported this to Xiaowu, but Xiaowu did not say anything later, as he thought it was a pre-arranged agreement.
Now seeing Ye Mingzhu's anger, he realized that the county magistrate and Xiaowu had not told Ye Mingzhu anything.
He could understand Ye Mingzhu's anger, but as a person with little influence, he dared not say anything and could only lower his head deeply.
Seeing Wu Jiang remained silent, Xiao Wu had no other options but to follow Ye Mingzhu and explain in a low voice, "Mingzhu, listen to me. We are all doing this for your own good. The Yu family has adopted you as their adopted daughter, and your future status will be different..."
Xiao Wu swallowed the rest of his words because Ye Mingzhu was staring at him with eyes so bright that he suddenly couldn't say anything else.
"Master Cui is right. My status is low, but I am very satisfied with my status, so I will not trouble you anymore." After saying this, Ye Mingzhu turned around and left without giving Xiaowu a chance to speak.
She didn't know why she suddenly became angry, but she felt really angry.
Yes, she was just a little fisherman's girl, but she never wanted to rely on Yu Jiaming or Xiao Wu to climb up, and she didn't need them to remind her of her humble status again and again.
After she rescued the "young lady" from the sunken ship, the steward Jiang immediately sent her away. Wang Dahu didn't even dare to stay any longer. She realized that in ancient times, the gap in status was fatal.
She returned home after a bumpy journey. Yu Jiaming and Xiaowu once again told her through their actions that she was of low status and had to rely on them to improve her status. The pent-up anger in her heart suddenly erupted.
Aunt Jiang and Ye Yun'an watched Ye Mingzhu walk over like a silent volcano, and at the same time cast questioning glances at Xiaowu.
Xiao Wu wanted to cry but had no tears. He didn't know what was going on. He didn't expect Ye Mingzhu to be so angry just because he transported 500 kilograms.
Ye Mingzhu knew rationally that Xiaowu had done nothing wrong in this matter, but she didn't want to control her anger. It couldn't be that because of her low status, she didn't even have the right to be angry.
She ignored everyone's surprised looks, walked straight to the carriage, and got in with quick and efficient movements.
Ye Yun'an hesitated for a moment and looked at Aunt Jiang: "Aunt, how about we get in the car too?"
Aunt Jiang nodded to Xiaowu and said, "Mingzhu must be tired after all this journey. Let's go back first."
Xiaowu sent the carriage away with tears on his face. He didn't understand what he had done wrong. Yu Jiaming was not there, and he couldn't find anyone to discuss it with.
Ye Mingzhu hasn't said a word since she got on the carriage. Aunt Jiang tried to ask her, but Ye Mingzhu just closed her eyes.
Aunt Jiang sighed and didn't say anything else.
Anyway, my son will be back soon, so let him worry about the issue of his daughter-in-law.
Ye Yun'an and Ludou could feel the anger emanating from Ye Mingzhu, and no one dared to speak. They returned to the town in silence.
When Old Hu opened the door and saw Uncle Yan, his face was full of smiles. He also asked Yunniang to cook for everyone.
Ye Mingzhu got off the carriage at the door and returned to the backyard without saying a word.
Yunniang, who came rushing over after hearing the noise, met Ye Mingzhu face to face. Just as she was about to greet him, Ye Mingzhu had already walked over.
She looked blankly at Aunt Jiang who came in afterwards: "Did I do something wrong?"
"Mingzhu has been traveling all the time and must be tired." Aunt Jiang sighed in her heart, turned around and told Lao Hu to unload the things from the carriage and move them to the backyard.
Ye Mingzhu held her breath and walked all the way to her room.
As soon as she sat down at the table, someone grabbed her shoulders from behind. She screamed in fright: "Ah..."
