Chapter 431 Triple Compensation
When they entered the house, Lao Hu told them, "My cousin just came."
Ye Mingzhu looked at Jiang Hongyu: "Could it be my cousin that we just saw?"
Jiang Hongyu had no good impression of his cousin and shook his head directly: "We didn't see it clearly, so we don't know. Anyway, she has something to do and will come again."
The next day, Jiang Hongyu wished he had not said that, because early in the morning, just after he and Ye Mingzhu had finished breakfast, Zhou Jinman came to the door.
"Cousin, you are finally back. Why didn't you take me with you when you went out?" Zhou Jinman rushed towards Ye Mingzhu.
Jiang Hongyu's mouth twitched as he watched from the side. He couldn't help but grab her off Ye Mingzhu and said, "If you have something to say, talk it over nicely. Don't jump on your cousin's wife."
Zhou Jinman shook her hand away unhappily, then looked him up and down: "What's wrong with me wanting to pounce on my cousin's wife?"
Jiang Hongyu's face darkened: "You almost threw your cousin's wife down just now."
"I just miss my cousin, is that okay?"
Zhou Jinman tried to pull Ye Mingzhu's hand, but Ye Mingzhu dodged her. She looked like she was about to cry: "Cousin, do you dislike me?"
Ye Mingzhu stood beside Jiang Hongyu and asked, "What brings you here so early in the morning?"
Zhou Jinman was about to say something, but Jiang Hongyu glared at her and said, "Talk properly."
"If you have something to say, just say it now and leave quickly." Jiang Hongyu was given a headache by her noise.
"I want my cousin's wife to draw a set of jewelry for me." Zhou Jinman said fluently.
Ye Mingzhu didn't expect this to be Zhou Jinman's intention, but she asked, "Who told you I can draw jewelry?"
"I heard about it when I went to Linglong Pavilion to buy jewelry. Cousin, can I watch you paint here?" Zhou Jinman said very sincerely.
Ye Mingzhu felt very strange: "You have been waiting for me just to let me draw jewelry for you?"
Many people in Linglong Pavilion knew that she could paint jewelry. If someone deliberately asked about it, they would always be able to find out.
But what Ye Mingzhu didn't understand was that Zhou Jinman had been in Pinggu Town for so long, why did she suddenly start wanting jewelry pictures? With her current age and the amount of hair, there really weren't many pieces of jewelry she could wear on her head.
"Cousin, Sister Yu is out too. Now it's just me and my aunt at home. It's really boring. Can I come and watch you paint the jewelry?" Zhou Jinman said this carefully.
Ye Mingzhu looked at her and finally refused: "I can draw jewelry pictures, but I signed an agreement with Linglong Pavilion that I can't draw pictures for others privately. Otherwise, I will have to bear huge compensation. If you really want my drawings, you pay the compensation and I can draw them."
Zhou Jinman's smile froze. "Compensation? I just drew a few pictures and you want compensation?"
Ye Mingzhu said seriously, "We signed the contract, so of course we have to pay compensation. It's not much, just three times."
Zhou Jinman was speechless for a moment. If she had that money, why would she need Ye Mingzhu to make jewelry for her? Couldn't she just go to Linglong Pavilion and buy it?
"How about, my cousin's wife teach me how to draw, and I can take the drawings and do it myself?" Zhou Jinman suddenly had a good idea.
Jiang Hongyu felt ashamed for having such a stupid cousin.
Ye Mingzhu's expression didn't change. She smiled and said, "As long as my cousin promises to pay three times the price for the blueprints if Linglong Pavilion finds out, I can certainly teach her."
"Zhou Jinman, you think you're smart, but others aren't stupid either. If you behave yourself, I don't mind letting you stay here with my mother. If you find it boring, I'll send you back to the capital sooner rather than later."
Jiang Hongyu said seriously, "If you come here to cause trouble again, I don't mind letting you return to Beijing early."
As soon as these words came out, Zhou Jinman's expression froze, her tears slowly slid down, and her voice became timid: "Cousin, I just want to get closer to my cousin's wife."
Jiang Hongyu was not moved at all: "I have already made it clear just now. You can go back and think about it. If you come here again next time, I will send you back to Beijing directly."
After he finished speaking, without waiting for Zhou Jinman to answer, he called Yunniang and asked her to send her out.
Zhou Jinman's face turned red and blue, and she finally gritted her teeth and said, "I am your cousin."
"If you weren't my cousin, would you still be standing here?" Jiang Hongyu's face was tense, and he showed murderous intent, which made Zhou Jinman, who was still hoping for a chance, nod immediately: "I'm leaving."
Qing'er, who was following Zhou Jinman, wanted to pull her sleeve, but she directly snatched her sleeve and ran out with a thump.
Jiang Hongyu was just about to talk to Ye Mingzhu when he heard footsteps coming towards him.
"It seems you want to go back to Beijing?" Jiang Hongyu's tough voice changed when he saw the three people in front of him: "Uncle Yan, Yun'an, Ludou, you are back?"
Green Bean tilted his head: "Brother-in-law, were you talking to me just now? I don't want to go back to Beijing."
Jiang Hongyu was a little embarrassed: "I, I thought it was someone else."
Uncle Yan had already guessed that it was the girl he had just met at the door, but he had not seen Aunt Qing yet, so he was not in a hurry to ask these questions.
"I have sent Yun'an and Luodou there. I will go back there first. If there is anything, you can ask Lao Hu to come to me." Uncle Yan said to Jiang Hongyu and left in a hurry.
He and Aunt Qing had been married for a short time, and he had been away for such a long time that he really missed her a little.
Ye Yun'an and Luodou sent Uncle Yan to the door together, and then returned to show the two of them the boxing skills they had practiced for several days.
Ye Mingzhu didn't know much about boxing, so she could only praise the two men's neat and powerful boxing techniques.
Jiang Hongyu gave them some pointers on their boxing skills and praised them. However, in such a short period of time, the two of them had mastered their boxing skills to such a high level. They must have worked very hard.
Ye Yun'an and Luodou surrounded Jiang Hongyu and went to the street to buy things.
Although Jiang Hongyu regretted not being able to go shopping alone with Ye Mingzhu, he still agreed to his two younger brothers' requests. The four of them walked around the town and had lunch outside before going back.
I don’t know whether Zhou Jinman was frightened by Jiang Hongyu or Uncle Yan disciplined her after he came back. In any case, she hasn’t appeared for a long time.
When Ye Mingzhu and Jiang Hongyu went to see Aunt Qing, Zhou Jinman also stood obediently by their side.
Ye Mingzhu asked Jiang Hongyu, and he just said that everyone has things they care about and are afraid of. Maybe Zhou Jinman was afraid. She thought Jiang Hongyu must have done something, but he didn't say it, so she didn't ask more. Anyway, it was fine as long as Zhou Jinman didn't bother her.
But with Ye Yun'an and Lu Dou at home, they are much more troublesome than Zhou Jinman.
Ye Yun'an and Luodou often stared at Ye Mingzhu's belly, and ran to ask Dr. Zhou why their sister and brother-in-law had been married for so long but still had no children?
Doctor Zhou said that they should let nature take its course and that they should not be too anxious.
Ye Yun'an and Ludou actually ran to the Lin family next door to visit Lin Dongjia, and unexpectedly they happened to meet Lin Dongjia who was about to give birth.
