Chapter 473: Everything
Ye Mingzhu felt like her boots had finally hit the ground.
These days, Nini comes here often, and she finds it strange that such a young child comes here every day with money to buy snacks. She must have been instructed by Xiaoyun.
But Xiaoyun never showed up, and Nini was really cute, so Ye Mingzhu remained silent.
Today she deliberately let Ruyi reveal the news that they would leave in two days, and Xiaoyun came as expected.
Ye Mingzhu stood up and moved to the side: "If you have anything to say, just say it. There's no need to kneel down."
Xiaoyun choked up and said, "I know Madam is an important person and kind. I really have no other choice. Please help me, Madam."
"I'm not a big shot, nor am I as kind as you think. If you have something to say, it's best to speak directly. Kneeling won't work with me."
Ye Mingzhu calmly sat down beside him and said, "I might as well tell you that we are only staying here for a few days. Even if we can help you solve the problem of Butcher Zhu, Butcher Li and Butcher Wang may appear in the future."
"I know," Xiaoyun raised her face and bit her lower lip tightly, "I, I want to leave with my wife."
Ye Mingzhu raised her eyebrows. She had not expected this request.
"You want to leave with me? Why? We just rented your house, you don't know us very well."
"I beg Madam to keep me. I am willing to sign the indenture of selling myself. I only ask Madam to release Nini's indenture after she reaches the age of marriage."
Xiaoyun kowtowed to Ye Mingzhu, and the sound made Ye Mingzhu feel pain for her.
"Stand up first before you talk." Ye Mingzhu was not used to having others kneel in front of her.
"Madam, please let me stay. I can cook, farm, embroider, and do everything." Xiaoyun begged bitterly.
Ye Mingzhu frowned. She didn't like being morally blackmailed by others.
"Get up first before you talk." Her voice became a little colder. Xiaoyun hesitated for a moment, looked at her expression, and then stood up.
"Madam, I will listen to you from now on. Please keep me."
Ye Mingzhu looked a little better after seeing her stand up. She was a little confused: "You are a commoner now. Once you follow me, you will be a slave in the future. Even if I release Nini's indenture, she may not be able to marry into a good family because she has a slave mother."
Xiaoyun smiled bitterly: "I know, but this is the only solution I can think of for Nini."
"Madam, you don't know about that butcher Zhu. He chased his previous wife away, and he has three sons at home. He wants to marry me because of this house. If I marry him, it's not certain whether Nini can grow up."
"There are not many people left in my husband's family. My sister treats me very well, but I can't rely on her for my whole life. I only ask Madam to keep me."
Ye Mingzhu didn't want to cause trouble. Although Ye Lang and the others had scared Zhu the Butcher away that day, if she took Xiaoyun away, she was afraid that Zhu the Butcher would not let it go.
Xiaoyun had seen through the ways of the world since her husband's death. Seeing Ye Mingzhu's expression, she guessed that she was unwilling to take care of this matter. She said anxiously, "Madam, if you are willing to keep me, this house, this house, I am willing to give it to you."
Ye Mingzhu shook her head: "We will be leaving soon, what do we need your house for?"
"Madam, please keep me. I can cook, embroider, and farm. I will definitely not cause you any trouble." Xiaoyun begged bitterly. She would never marry Zhu the butcher no matter what.
"Can you farm?" Ye Mingzhu suddenly asked.
Xiaoyun's eyes lit up and she quickly replied, "Yes, I can farm, grow vegetables, and grow flowers. You can go to my yard and see that the vegetables I grow are tastier than others, and the flowers I grow are more colorful than others."
Ye Mingzhu thought for a moment and said, "Then let's go over and take a look."
Xiaoyun immediately got up and took Ye Mingzhu to where she lived.
This was Ye Mingzhu's first time here. She didn't expect Xiaoyun to take such good care of her yard. The whole yard was divided into two parts. One half was planted with green vegetables, which looked very fresh, and the other side was planted with colorful flowers, which were mixed but not messy.
Seeing Ye Mingzhu's attention on the garden, Xiaoyun stepped forward and explained, "These flowers were planted by my late husband and me."
Ye Mingzhu then asked, "What did Nini's father do before?"
Xiaoyun whispered, "My late husband used to be a gardener, specializing in taking care of all kinds of flowers. He would often go to the suburbs to dig up wild flowers, plant them, and then sell them after they were cultivated. After I married him, I followed him to plant flowers. He fell off a cliff and died while digging an orchid in the wild."
Xiaoyun pointed to an orchid in the corner and said, "That's the orchid."
Ye Mingzhu didn't know much about flowers, but she just needed a talented farmer. She had watermelon seeds in her hand. Although she wanted to try growing watermelons when she arrived in Linchang, she had never grown them before and had little confidence.
Since Xiaoyun was able to take such good care of these flowers after her husband's death, she must be able to grow watermelons as well.
Ye Mingzhu went to take a look at the vegetable garden next to her before returning to the small courtyard they rented.
Xiaoyun followed her all the time, feeling very nervous.
"I won't hide it from you. I have some watermelon seeds and I'm looking for someone who knows how to farm to grow them."
Ye Mingzhu didn't want to lie to Xiaoyun. "If you can grow watermelons, I won't let your daughter sign a contract to sell her body. I can also protect her and find her a good man to marry when she grows up."
Xiao Yun was overjoyed and immediately knelt down. "Although I don't know what this watermelon is, I think it's similar to pumpkin and winter melon. I've grown all of these before. I'm willing to help Madam grow some watermelons."
Ye Mingzhu nodded: "Although I don't want your daughter's indenture, you must sign the indenture, otherwise, I guess I won't be able to take you away."
Xiaoyun quickly replied, "I'm willing to follow Madam."
"We will be leaving soon. Do you want to keep this house or get rid of it?" Ye Mingzhu asked.
Xiaoyun looked around, her eyes filled with reluctance, but she still said, "I will sell this house."
Ye Mingzhu was a little curious: "Given your current situation, if you sell the house, I guess Zhu the Butcher will find out soon."
Xiaoyun's eyes were filled with sadness. "The village head came to me a long time ago and wanted to buy this house. I planned to sell it to him at a lower price. I think I can keep it a secret for two days."
Since she had an idea, Ye Mingzhu didn't say anything more. She asked her to make arrangements, pack up everything, and go find Ye Lang again.
When Ye Lang heard that she wanted to buy Xiaoyun, he disagreed: "Mingzhu, although Zhu the Butcher hasn't been here these days, I found out that he has a bad temper. If we take Xiaoyun away, I'm afraid he will cause trouble for us."
