Chapter 328 The Purpose of the Three Houses
"We are still delivering it." Fang nodded quickly, fearing that it would be too late and Ye Mingzhu would misunderstand.
"It's just that life at home is not easy right now. Mingzhu, you are familiar with Linglong Pavilion. Can you talk to them and ask them to increase the price of pearls in the future?"
Ye Mingzhu noticed that Uncle Ye had stopped eating melon seeds. Although he didn't look at her, his ears were perked up.
"Aunt San, I can't promise you this. I'm just an acquaintance of the owner of Linglong Pavilion. How can I ask for this?"
Ye Mingzhu was not sure whether Uncle Ye San knew about her drawing, but even if he did, she would not tell the Lin family about it.
They had agreed at the beginning that she would not get involved in Linglong Pavilion's affairs and would only take dividends.
Uncle Ye stood up angrily and said, "Mingzhu, Uncle and Auntie have been very kind to you. They knew you didn't have a family, so they asked you to come back to our house. They just wanted you to do something, but you kept making excuses."
Ye Mingzhu was unhappy, but she still had to make it clear: "Uncle San, the two things you mentioned are not something I can decide. I can't promise you."
"Okay, then let Yun Ping and Yun Li live in your house in town in a few days. You can always decide on this, right?"
Ye Mingzhu looked at Uncle Ye suspiciously: "Uncle, why do Yunping and the others want to live in town?"
Uncle Ye thought Ye Mingzhu had agreed, so his voice became less forceful: "Yun Ping and the others are in school in town, so it's inconvenient for them to travel back and forth."
Ye Mingzhu always felt a little strange: "Uncle San, I'm afraid it's inconvenient for Yunping and the others to live with me."
"What's the inconvenience? You're their cousin, and it's just a few meals. Are you reluctant to give it up?"
Uncle Ye said with dissatisfaction.
Ye Mingzhu looked at Fang.
Fang lowered her head and held Ye Mingzhu's hand: "Mingzhu, your third uncle and I are usually busy and don't have much time to take care of them. I feel at ease leaving them with you."
"Don't worry, when the food arrives, I'll have Yunping carry it over. I won't let them take advantage of you."
"We are siblings, why are you saying this?" Uncle Ye was very dissatisfied with Fang's opinion.
Only then did Ye Mingzhu understand what the couple meant. They wanted Ye Yunping and Ye Yunli to live in her house.
But how much can the two children eat and spend? Can't Uncle Ye's family even come up with this little money?
Perhaps, the two requests they made just now were for this purpose. They were afraid that Ye Mingzhu would not agree, so they made two requests that she would refuse.
Ye Mingzhu was very unhappy when she saw them looking at her with expectant eyes. Although she was not short of money now, she did not want to be forced.
"I have to go back and discuss this with my mother."
Ye Mingzhu did not refuse outright. She wanted to find out what happened in Uncle Ye's family and why they sent the two children to the town.
Uncle Ye opened his mouth to say something, but Fang stopped him: "Of course, of course. Yunping and Yunli are both good kids. They will definitely treat you as well as Yun'an did in the future."
Ye Mingzhu just listened to this. Not to mention that she had her own younger brother, Ye Yunping and Ye Yunli had their own parents to take care of, and they were not sure whether they could remember this cousin from the next room.
Seeing that the story was finished, Uncle Ye and Mrs. Fang's expressions relaxed a lot, and Ye Mingzhu prepared to leave.
Fang wanted to stop him, but Uncle Ye asked Ye Mingzhu to go back and discuss it with Aunt Jiang.
Ye Mingzhu felt that Uncle Ye was a little confused now, so she just responded and went out of the house to call Ye Yunan to go back.
Mrs. Fang complained to Uncle Ye in the back, saying that he should let Mingzhu and her brother finish their meal before going back.
Uncle Ye waved his hand nonchalantly: "Mingzhu is my niece. I treat her well. I'm just going to stay in town for a few days. It's not like she doesn't have a place to stay."
Although Fang was a little worried, she felt that what Uncle Ye said made sense. She went to the kitchen and put away most of the things, leaving only enough for the family of four to eat at noon.
Ye Mingzhu and Ye Yun'an walked back together. Ye Yun'an wiped the sweat from his head with his sleeve and asked her outside, "Sister, what did Third Aunt say to you just now?"
Ye Mingzhu handed him a handkerchief and asked, "What are you guys playing? Why are you sweating so much?"
"Yunli took me and Brother Yunping to see his secret base. Yunli made a lot of little figures out of wood. He said he wanted to be a carpenter in the future."
"Oh," Ye Mingzhu thought of Fang's idea of letting them live in the town, and asked, "Did Yunping tell her what he wants to do in the future?"
"No," Ye Yun'an shook his head. "Yunli said that Brother Yunping is a good student and will definitely become the top scholar in the future. Brother Yunping said that he doesn't want to study anymore."
"What?" This was something Ye Mingzhu hadn't expected. "Did Yunping say why?"
"No." Ye Yun'an shook his head: "Sister, I want to be a general in the future." With a master to teach me, I will definitely be able to become a general in the future.
"Okay, then you must practice martial arts well in the future. But don't slack off on learning to read. If you want to be a great general, you must also be able to read military books."
"I will study hard and practice martial arts in the future. Luodou and I have agreed that we will both become generals in the future." Ye Yun'an told Ye Mingzhu what they usually said.
Ye Mingzhu encouraged him.
"Sister, Sister Mingzhu." Then a voice suddenly came.
Ye Mingzhu and Ye Yun'an turned around at the same time, and Ye Yunping ran over from behind and stopped in front of them, panting.
"Yunping, what's wrong?" Ye Mingzhu looked at this unfamiliar cousin calmly.
"Sister, don't promise my mother that Yunli and I can't live in town." Ye Yunping said anxiously before he could catch his breath.
Ye Mingzhu looked at him, her eyes full of inquiry: "Why?"
Ye Yunping avoided Ye Mingzhu's gaze: "We are all grown up now, it's not good to go to town and trouble my sister."
This wasn't a reason. Ye Mingzhu looked him up and down: "Why did you come to me when you could just tell your parents?"
"I told my parents, but they didn't agree." Ye Yunping lowered his head with a bitter smile on his face.
"Why can't you live in town?" Ye Mingzhu noticed that Ye Yunping's first word was "can't".
Ye Yunping didn't speak for a while.
Ye Mingzhu looked at Ye Yun'an next to her and said, "Yun'an, go back and see if there's anything your family needs help with. I'll talk to Yunping."
Ye Yun'an knew that Ye Yunping had something to say to Ye Mingzhu, but he didn't want him to hear it.
Ye Mingzhu urged him: "I'll be back soon."
Ye Yunan said to Ye Yunping: "Brother Yunping, please tell my sister to hurry up."
After Ye Yunping and Ye Yun'an left, Ye Yunping whispered, "My family has encountered some troubles. My parents are worried about us, so they want to send us to town."
Ye Mingzhu nodded, this was almost what she guessed.
"Sister Mingzhu, just tell me there's no room at home for Yunli and me to live there."
