Chapter 339 Third Uncle Returns
Uncle Ye shuddered, regained his consciousness, and was about to get off the carriage.
"Wait." Ye Mingzhu stopped Uncle Ye and stuck her head out: "Aunt, Uncle Ye is back. It's cold. Please get in the car."
After she finished speaking, she lent a hand and pulled Fang into the carriage.
When Fang saw Uncle Ye, she threw herself into his arms and started crying.
Uncle Yan drove the carriage all the way to the door of the third room before Ye Mingzhu said, "Aunt San, go home and let Uncle San take a bath and have a good rest. We will come to see Uncle San later."
Fang nodded continuously, wiping away tears. "Everything is ready at home, Mingzhu. This time, it's all thanks to you. If it weren't for you, I don't know if your uncle would be able to come back."
Ye Mingzhu returned the purse that Fang had given her: "Aunt, this time Uncle San was able to come back because he hadn't committed any crime. Otherwise, nothing I could do would be of any use."
Fang held Ye Mingzhu's hand and said, "Mingzhu, Third Aunt knows that you are a good person. In the past, Third Aunt paid less attention to you, but in the future, Third Aunt will definitely treat you as her own daughter."
Ye Mingzhu smiled and urged Fang to take Uncle Ye back.
Uncle Ye and Mrs. Fang had both said that they treated her as their own daughter, but it was easier said than done. She had only heard it once and didn't take it seriously.
Fang then helped the haggard Uncle Ye back home, went back to the house to find some clothes, and then fetched water for him to take a bath, soaking it in pomelo leaves that she had found somewhere else.
"Master, take a bath with pomelo leaves and all the filth will be gone."
Uncle Ye had just eaten a meat pie and didn't feel hungry anymore, but after spending a few days in prison, he always felt that there were fleas on his body. It was not until he washed twice that he felt much cleaner.
Fang brought him a bowl of noodles: "Boss, I cooked white noodles for you, and there are two eggs in it, please eat quickly."
White noodles and eggs, this kind of food is already very good.
Uncle Ye picked up the noodles and drank a mouthful of soup before he started to eat. In a short while, he had finished a bowl of noodles and a poached egg.
He pushed the bowl towards Ye Fangshi and said, "You've been tired these past few days. Eat this egg."
Fang's eyes were moist. She raised her sleeve and wiped her eyes: "I'm fine."
No matter what Third Uncle Ye said, she refused to eat. She even said with a guilty look on her face, "Boss, this is all my second brother's fault. From now on, I will never recognize him again."
On the way back, Ye Mingzhu had told everything he could say. Fang took out all the money in the family to save him, including Uncle Fang's statement that Uncle Ye was not involved in the murder.
Uncle Ye's initial anger faded away. Although he still had some resentment towards Uncle Fang, his attitude towards the Fang family improved a lot.
"Your second brother, forget it, let's not contact each other anymore. Send your parents some gifts during the holidays, and don't go back on other days."
What this meant was that Fang should not recognize anyone other than her parents. Fang nodded with tears in her eyes.
This time, Uncle Ye's imprisonment and the suffering that Ye Yunping endured were all caused by her second brother. Even if Uncle Ye didn't say it, she was full of resentment towards her second uncle.
She had hardly slept well these past few days. She couldn't imagine how she would be able to live with two children alone if Uncle Ye was gone. So now that Uncle Ye didn't allow her to recognize another brother, she had no objection at all.
"I can get out this time thanks to Mingzhu. I will get up early tomorrow and go to town to buy some things. Let's go and thank Mingzhu." This time, Uncle Ye really felt that Ye Mingzhu was good to him.
While he was in prison, he didn't suffer much, and the prison boss was quite caring towards him, even saying that it was out of consideration for his relatives.
Although it was not stated explicitly who it was, he guessed it was Ye Mingzhu, otherwise which relative would care about him.
Thinking of this, he asked with a hint of anticipation: "Has my eldest brother come to ask me about it these days?"
Fang's face was grim. "My uncle hasn't been here. When Yunli went out, Yunshun scolded him. He said it was because of our family that they were embarrassed. I heard it and scolded Yunshun twice. My sister-in-law also scolded me, telling me to go home and not embarrass myself outside."
"What did Big Brother say?"
Fang shook her head: "I went out to ask Yunli to come back for dinner, but I didn't see Big Brother."
Uncle Ye was so angry that he stood up and wanted to go to Uncle Ye's house to argue, but Fang stopped him: "Forget it, Yunshun is just a child, what can you do to him if you go there? Since the eldest sister-in-law is afraid that we will implicate them, we should just have less contact in the future."
In fact, Uncle Ye’s attitude towards Ye Mingzhu and her brother showed what kind of people they were. They only felt the pain when the stick fell on them.
"Well, from now on I will only have two nieces and nephews, Mingzhu and Yun'an."
Fang nodded: "Mingzhu is really good. When Yunping was lost, she helped to find him. When you got into trouble, she also went to look for you personally. From now on, we should treat them better."
Uncle Ye discussed with Mrs. Fang what items they should buy and send over tomorrow.
This time when Uncle Ye was sent to jail, Fang was prepared to lose half of her fortune. Unexpectedly, Ye Mingzhu returned all the money, and the family's money was almost not lost, so Fang was also very generous, and there was almost no dispute when the two discussed it.
At the Jiang family, Aunt Jiang and Ye Mingzhu discussed that they would visit a few relatives with whom they had good relations tomorrow and then prepare to return to town.
There were many people who were exiled with the Jiang family back then, but the relationships among them were average. After Ye Mingzhu's parents passed away, the Ye family's relatives rarely helped her. Apart from Uncle Ye's family, the clan leader's family, and the Ye Wu family, she could visit them all in one day, plus the village chief.
The next day, Aunt Jiang took Ye Mingzhu to visit these houses, sat for a while and then went back.
The two of them decided to go back for lunch and then return to town.
Before I got home, I met Ye Yunjian and Hu on the road. The two of them were walking hurriedly, as if they were preparing to go to the village chief's house.
Ye Mingzhu had no contact with the two of them. She just agreed and prepared to leave.
"Mingzhu, we will separate the family property later. Can you be a witness?" Mrs. Hu suddenly called Ye Mingzhu.
"No." Ye Mingzhu refused quickly: "Our two families have no relationship anymore. If you split up, what am I going to do?"
"But, your father is Jian's second uncle." Mrs. Hu said in a humble tone, "I just called your third uncle. Please represent your second branch and bear witness for us."
Ye Mingzhu looked at her as if she were a fool: "You don't understand what I'm saying. We have nothing to do with each other. Whether you split up or not has nothing to do with me."
After she finished speaking, she turned and left without waiting for Mrs. Hu to speak.
Hu wanted to stop her, but Ye Yunjian held her back: "Don't call Mingzhu. We've already invited Third Uncle. We can just call the clan leader and the village chief."
"But……"
"Let's go."
Ye Yunjian pulled Fang away.
Ye Mingzhu's mood suddenly turned bad. When she arrived at the door of her house, she unexpectedly saw Uncle Ye and Mrs. Fang.
